S222--Replace Hazardous Waste Shed

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, specifically Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 (VISN 6), is seeking to replace a hazardous waste shed at the Hampton VA Medical Center. The solicitation requires removing an existing 8,000-pound prefabricated steel storage building and installing a new hazardous waste storage structure with specific requirements including 16-gauge galvannealed steel construction, R-11 insulation, steel shelving, and a fire suppression system. The new building must accommodate storage of petroleum-based fuels, alcohols, solvents, paints, and pharmaceuticals, with explosion-proof lighting and a minimum 200-gallon sump capacity. Quotes are due by January 16, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST, with an anticipated period of performance of 60 days after award. The Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) establishes performance objectives with acceptable quality levels ranging from 95% to 100% for project requirements and timelines.

The contract is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) under NAICS category 562112 (Hazardous Waste Collection) with a size standard of $47 million. The project will be located at the Hampton VA Medical Center in Hampton, Virginia, with key milestones including a kickoff meeting within 14 days of award and a site visit within 30 days. The contract will be awarded on a firm-fixed-price basis, with payment contingent upon completion of services. The manufacturer's lead time for the new building is approximately 16 weeks, which will impact the original 60-day completion timeline. Wage rates will be determined according to the Davis-Bacon Act, with minimum hourly rates established for various labor classifications in the Hampton area. Electronic invoice submission will be required, and the contracting officer will conduct monthly performance assessment meetings to evaluate contractor performance.
