PRESOLICITATION NOTICE Activation Pre-Planning Support for the Ft. Harrison Acute Inpatient Care and Hospital Renovations project.

100% SDVOSB SET ASIDE

This is a Pre-Solicitation Notice that the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) intends to solicit quotes to provide non-personal Activation Pre-Planning Support of the Ft. Harrison Acute Inpatient Care and Hospital Renovations project. This requirement supports VHA's mission by providing contractor services to help support the Activation Pre-Planning of the project. This will be a firm-fixed-price contract with an estimated Period of Performance of (9) nine months.

VA s Proposed Action is to conduct a series of seismic upgrade and improvement projects to correct seismic deficiencies at the Fort Harrison VAMC and to remodel and expand the retrofitted facilities to accommodate the operational needs of the medical center. The Proposed Action includes construction of a new acute inpatient care space through a three-story, approximately 82,600 building gross square feet (BGSF) bed tower building addition on the south side of Building 154; seismic retrofitting of Buildings 141, 150, 154, 154A and the connecting corridor; remodeling approximately 221,800 BGSF of space within these buildings to meet the current and projected future VAMC operational needs; construction of a new, approximately 15,700 BGSF, two-story, central utility plant (CUP) north of Building 154; construction of an approximately four-story, 660-space parking garage north of Building 154; infrastructure upgrades; and exterior site improvements around the medical campus.

The Proposed Action construction activities would be conducted in phases over a period of approximately 10 years to minimize campus disruption, support continued campus operations, and minimize the need for temporary swing space during construction. VA plans to construct the new parking garage and CUP in the first phase of construction. The second phase of construction would include the construction of the acute inpatient care building addition, followed by the sequential seismic retrofitting and renovation of Buildings 141, 150, 154 and 154A. Project design details are not available at this time. VA anticipates that the Proposed Action construction would begin in 2024 and would be completed in 2033. This contract supports the new Acute Inpatient Care space and hospital renovations by providing pre-activation services to plan for the FF&E used in the pre-construction RFP development.
