About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically VISN 20 supporting the Puget Sound VA Healthcare System in Seattle, is seeking engineering design services for a critical infrastructure project involving laboratory fume hood systems in Building 1. The project requires a comprehensive architectural and engineering (A/E) approach to decommission, demolish, and replace the control and exhaust system for approximately 30 laboratory fume hoods located on the 6th and 7th floors. Key contract requirements include conducting field surveys, TAB reports, swab testing for potential explosive and radioactive residues, asbestos investigation, and integrating a new Direct Digital Controls (DDC) system with the facility's Building Automated System (BAS). This is currently a sources sought notice, meaning the VA is not soliciting formal proposals but gathering information about potential qualified vendors. Responses to the sources sought questionnaire are due by December 11, 2024, at 12:00 PM PDT, with submissions to be emailed to kaycee.benson@va.gov.
The pre-solicitation notice does not specify a specific set-aside for small businesses, though the NAICS code 541330 for Engineering Services has a small business size standard of $25.5 million. The period of performance for the project is 301 calendar days after receipt of notice to proceed, with an estimated construction budget of $1,169,000. The project involves replacing approximately 1,500 feet of ductwork and associated exhaust fans, with work spanning multiple floors (6th through 10th) of the medical center building. The design will require careful coordination with VA staff, including the Radiation Safety Officer and Industrial Hygienist, and must account for the facility's active healthcare environment and location in a Very High Seismic Zone. Potential contractors will need to demonstrate significant experience in complex medical facility renovation projects, particularly those involving sophisticated laboratory infrastructure and strict safety protocols.
