The Department of Veterans Affairs has need for a general construction contractor to provide all labor, materials and equipment as necessary to construct a post-tensioned cast-in-place, concrete expansion of an existing open parking structure on the North West section of the George E. Wahlen VA Medical Center campus located in Salt Lake City, UT. NCO 19 is conducting market research to determine if sufficient competition exists in the Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) socio-economic programs. The SDVOSB and VOSB firms must have the capability and capacity to perform work with a construction magnitude between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000.

The NAICS code for this procurement will be 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction. The parking expansion includes a new one-story vertical expansion over the existing parking garage. The garage will expand horizontally to include a ground floor plus 2 elevated floors. A portion of the existing on-grade parking will be replaced by the horizontal garage expansion. The total of additional parking structure is 106,000 square feet. A roof will be constructed to cover the entirety of the open parking garage. The structure will accommodate approximately 346 new parking spaces. Work shall include, but may not be limited to, all general construction, alterations, roads, curb, gutters, walks, grading, drainage, landscaping, mechanical, fire protection and sprinkler system, technology and electrical work, extensions and alterations to utility systems, elevators, stairwells, rooftop equipment and, any and all necessary removal, modifications, demolition, alterations of existing structures and construction and certain other items to construct the complete project. The current small business size standard for 236220 is $36.5 million.
