Y1DA--NRM-CONST- 561A4-26-501 Replace Roof Building 143 - Design-Build

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 is soliciting proposals for a two-phase design-build roof replacement project for Building 143 at the VA New Jersey Healthcare System Lyons Campus. The contractor must provide comprehensive design and construction services, including removal of existing roofing materials, visual inspection of roof deck sheathing, installation of new architectural roof shingles over pitched roof areas, replacement of low-slope roof areas with EPDM membrane over rigid insulation, installation of ridge ventilation and roof drains, replacement of gutters and downspouts, installation of snow guards, and inspection of glass roof structures. Key qualifications required include New Jersey state roofing licenses and certifications, demonstrated experience in healthcare facility roof replacement projects with design-build or similar contracts completed within five years, and bonding capacity documentation. The evaluation will be conducted on a best-value basis with technical proposals weighted at 100 points distributed among construction management experience (60 percent), past performance (20 percent), schedule (10 percent), and small disadvantaged business participation (10 percent), with lowest cost serving as the deciding factor if technical proposals are essentially equal. Requests for Information must be submitted by 1:00 PM EDT on March 19, 2026, and Phase I proposals are due by 10:00 AM ET on April 9, 2026, with submission to Contracting Officer Mitchelle R. Labady at mitchelle.labady@va.gov.

This solicitation uses no set-aside designations and identifies no incumbent contractors. The anticipated project cost range and completion schedule timeline have not been specified in the available documents, though the solicitation notes that shorter project schedules will receive more favorable evaluation consideration.
