SYNOPSIS:

INTRODUCTION:

This announcement is an Intent to Sole Source in accordance with FAR 6.302-1 “Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.” It is for information and planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation on the part of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Program Contracting Activity (PCAC) intends to negotiate on a sole-source basis with TTV Architects Inc., a small business, to provide Solicitation Support Services and Construction Period Services during the construction of the Expand Specialty Treatment (Minor) project at the Tampa VA Medical Center (VAMC) located at 13000 Bruce B. Downs Blvd, Tampa, FL 33612.

PROJECT BACKGROUND & DESCRIPTION:

Our intention is to procure Solicitation Support Services and Construction Period Services for the Specialty Treatment Expansion (Minor) Construction project at the Tampa VAMC. The current design firm of record is TTV Architects Inc (TTV), located at 115 E. Forsyth St., Jacksonville, FL 32202. They are a small business and have been in the process of designing this (Minor) construction project for over twelve (12) years.

The original design contract was awarded in 2010. Due to delays caused by the Tampa VAMC design coordination team, this contract was terminated for convenience in 2017 because the money expired before the construction design was completed. A continuation design contract was awarded to TTV in June of 2017. In June of 2022, prior to posting the design contract out to the public in order to procure construction services, it was discovered that the current design was void of Physical Security requirements. An Intent to Sole source was posted to the public prior to TTV receiving another continuation design contract to add the Physical Security requirements. The current issue revolves around the fact that this 2022 continuation design contract omitted Solicitation Support Services and Construction Period Services.

The design is now 100% complete. However, the Government currently requires Solicitation Support Services and Construction Period Services in order to solicit the construction portion of this (Minor) requirement. Any prospective design firm will need to possess working knowledge of all issues that may arise, during the technical questions portion of the construction solicitation phase, as they will have to respond to RFIs. They will be required to attend the solicitation site visit, make any necessary updates to the Specifications and Drawings, and will assume the liabilities associated with any and all aspects of the design. During the construction phase and contract close out, the prospective design firm will serve the Government in an advisory capacity. They will be required to attend the Pre-construction meeting and attend/facilitate bi-monthly site visits for the duration of the construction phase, which is 540 calendar days after issuance of the Notice to Proceed (NTP).

PROCUREMENT INFORMATION:

The proposed project will be a sole source continuation design contract to the original designer of record, TTV. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 541330 (size standard $25.5 million) applies to this procurement. The duration of the project is currently estimated at 120 calendar days for solicitation support services and 540 calendar days for construction period services. It is the intent of the Government to award this project as a sole source. However, if a firm feels like they can meet the requirements of this project, the Government will review the information provided (as specified in the Capabilities Statement below), in order to make a final determination.
