C223--A/E Replace and Upgrade Chilled Water System

The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office is seeking proposals from architectural and engineering firms to replace and upgrade the chilled water distribution system at the Charles George VA Medical Center in Asheville, North Carolina. Proposals are due by November 30, 2021 and will be evaluated based on key personnel qualifications, experience designing medical facility chilled water systems, capacity to perform the work on schedule, and past performance on similar government projects. Firms must provide resumes of all proposed staff, descriptions of up to six relevant projects demonstrating experience, current workload availability, and past performance questionnaires or CPARS evaluations for the three to five most relevant prior projects.

The solicitation is set aside for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. The work involves architectural services classified under NAICS 541330. An amendment clarifies that proposals shall include CPARS/ACASS evaluations for relevant experience within the past ten years, with experience on projects completed within the past five years. The place of performance is the Charles George VA Medical Center located at 1100 Tunnel Road in Asheville, North Carolina. The construction phase will be a separate award once design is complete.
