Correct Lab Deficiencies Phase II Project 663-10-105

Added: May 18, 2010 3:33 pm SF 330 Architect-Engineer Qualifications applications are invited from engineering and design firms to provide professional design services and construction period services to correct the Laboratory (Lab) deficiencies, Phase II, located throughout the Lab area in Building 100 at the VA Puget Sound Health Care System, Seattle Division. The proposed design project is for the renovation of approximately 14,750 GSF square feet laboratory space that will include Chemistry, Molecular Microbiology, Phlebotomy, Specimen Processing, Microbiology and General Support areas to include but not limited to lab storage, equipment room, lab office, supply storage, teaching room, two toilets, and multipurpose room. The design work is for complete renovation of the defined areas of the medical laboratory and has a very high criticality to the medical center's operation. Design work will include planning for laboratory casework. This project will require extensive planning coordination between the VA engineering service, the clinical staff, and AE firm. The AE firm will be responsible for the work coordination of multiple design disciplines. In addition, the AE must design the work so that it is phased so that the laboratory remains in operation on a 24/7 basis. The design must also plan for multiple concerns of vibration, noise, and dust contamination of the immediately adjacent occupied clinic and public areas. Design disciplines include structural, architectural, interior design, civil, mechanical, fire protection, electrical, telecommunications and asbestos monitoring. The A/E contractor must provide bid-ready design documents 180 calendar days after A/E contract award. Provide construction period services following the construction contract award based upon this design work. Evaluation and selection will be based on qualifications stated under CBD Numbered Note 24. The selected firm or organization must have significant experience in the design of medical laboratories for large health care facilities. Applicants must be able to demonstrate the credentials of the firm and assigned staff to support the design scope. Special qualifications and selection of firms will be placed on design capabilities and experience of firms with recent VA Puget Sound Health Care System Medical Laboratory design work as well as experience for design contract oversight. The applicable NAICS code is 541310. This acquisition for design services will be a 100% set aside for small businesses. This is not a Request for Proposal. A current SF 330 representing and differentiating between the size, capabilities, personnel, past experience with the VA Puget Sound Healthcare System and capabilities of all involved offices, must be included with the application for each proposed consultant's office involved. Point of Contact is Robin Tice at robin.tice@va.gov or (253)583- 2105. No firm or organization will be considered unless an application consisting of the completed SF 330 and other evidence of experience and capabilities the applicant considers relevant is submitted to following address. Each firm is required to mail two (2) hard copies and one (1) CD of their SF330 no later than Thursday, June 17, 2010 @ 2:00 PM PDT, to Robin Tice (10F-ACQ); VA Puget Sound Health Care System /American Lake Division, Bldg 17, Rm 212, 9600 Veterans Drive, Tacoma, WA 98493-5000.
