Written questions from potential bidders were due by January 17, 2025, and proposals are due on February 6, 2025, at 2:00 PM CT. Contractors must adhere to NETA standards and perform most work after hours due to ongoing hospital operations.

The estimated contract value ranges between $250,000 and $500,000, with a total performance period of 365 calendar days. Specific completion dates are set for May 31, 2025, for Jefferson Barracks and September 30, 2025, for John Cochran Division. Contractors must not exceed 85% subcontracting to non-SDVOSB firms and will be required to provide a Site Safety and Health Officer with specific certifications and five years of experience. The place of performance is located in St. Louis, Missouri, specifically at the VA facilities on North Grand Boulevard and at Jefferson Barracks. Additional requirements include submitting a 20% bid bond with the proposal and providing 100% payment and performance bonds after award.
