This combined synopsis/solicitation notice seeks architectural and engineering design services from service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses to replace the roof of Building 7 at the Alexandria VA Health Care System in Pineville, Louisiana. Interested firms must submit four hard copies and one electronic copy of a completed SF330 by July 12, 2021 at 2:00 PM Central Time for consideration. The evaluation will be based on professional qualifications, specialized experience, experience in construction period services, past performance on government and private contracts, capacity to complete the work on schedule and budget, local knowledge, and commitment to using small businesses as subcontractors. The selected firm will provide design services under a negotiated firm-fixed price contract not to exceed 6% of the estimated $2-5 million construction costs plus related fees.

The solicitation is set aside for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses under NAICS 541310 and PSC R425. The scope of work requires replacing the existing roof except for a new addition installed in the last seven years, replacing gutters and adding downspouts as needed, resealing any penetrations or cracks, and using copper gutters and flashing per SHPO guidelines. Design submissions are required at 35%, 65%, 95% and 100% over a 240-day period from notice to proceed before finalizing construction documents. Construction period services are also required, including site visits, submittal reviews, change order analysis and attendance at meetings and the pre-bid conference. The estimated budget for the roof replacement project is TBD and place of performance is Pineville, Louisiana.
