About this file
This is a presolicitation notice for an architect-engineering services contract to design a parking garage at the East Orange, New Jersey VA Medical Center. The Veterans Health Administration seeks to award a firm-fixed price contract for design and construction period services with an anticipated period of performance of 365 days from notice to award. The project budget is between $10-20 million. This is a 100% set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. Interested firms must submit Standard Form 330 statements of qualifications by February 16, 2021 including experience designing parking garages and similar projects, professional qualifications, past performance on government contracts, and knowledge of the project locality. A two-phase evaluation process will select a shortlist of at least three firms for discussions, then identify the highest rated firm to receive the solicitation for negotiations.
