The project requires complete demolition and replacement of windows across nine occupied floors (Basement through Eighth Floor), a mechanical penthouse, and an elevator machine room, with installation of blast-resistant, forced-entry resistant, and ballistic-resistant windows meeting VA Physical Security and Resiliency Design Manual standards. Key contract requirements include comprehensive asbestos and lead paint abatement in compliance with federal environmental regulations, implementation of Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) Level 2-3 protocols, construction waste management with minimum 50 percent diversion rates, and adherence to prevailing wage rates established for Spokane County. Proposals will be evaluated using best-value tradeoff procedures across four factors: technical approach and specialized experience (20 pages, 20% weight), key personnel professional qualifications (20 pages, 20% weight), past performance with similar projects valued between $5-$10 million in final construction cost completed within the past five years (6 pages, weight unspecified), and price (weight unspecified). The mandatory site visit is scheduled for March 10, 2026, at 9:00 AM PST, questions must be submitted by March 13, 2026, at 10:00 AM PST, and proposals are due March 30, 2026, at 12:00 PM PST.

This is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside contract with no incumbent identified. The project encompasses replacement of approximately 474-477 windows and must be completed within 483 days, with standard construction hours of 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday, excluding Federal holidays. The contract type is firm-fixed-price, and while a specific budget ceiling is not disclosed in the solicitation materials, contractors must demonstrate relevant recent experience and submit past performance questionnaires for evaluation. General construction contractors are limited to subcontracting 85 percent of government payments to non-certified firms, with material costs excluded from this calculation. Work will be performed at Mann-Grandstaff VA Medical Center located at 4815 North Assembly Street, Spokane, Washington 99205, and the contractor must coordinate all deliveries through the M&O Loading Dock in Building 1 while maintaining strict infection control protocols and minimizing disruption to ongoing hospital operations.
