Y1DA--Project 671-24-200 Elevator Modernization

The Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 17, is soliciting proposals for a comprehensive elevator modernization project at the Audie L. Murphy Memorial VA Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas. The solicitation, numbered 36C25724R0084, seeks to modernize seven elevators - four passenger elevators (P1, P2, P3, P4) and three service elevators (S5, S6, S10) - with potential add-alternate work for three additional elevators. The project will be evaluated using a Past Performance-Price Tradeoff (PPT) methodology, where past performance is significantly more important than price, with contractors required to submit up to three recent and relevant elevator installation and repair projects with performance evaluations. The solicitation requires detailed technical specifications including compliance with ASME 17.1 (2022) code requirements, two years of maintenance service, and one year of warranty after completion. Key deadlines include a proposal submission due date of December 23, 2024, at 1:00 PM CST, with the government indicating an intent to award without discussions but reserving the right to conduct them if necessary.

The contract is exclusively set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) certified by the SBA, with the SDVOSB required to perform at least 15% of the construction work. While no specific incumbent contractors are mentioned, the project has a total performance period of 770 calendar days and will require strict adherence to infection control protocols, including Class 3 ICRA requirements for most areas. The work will be performed at the Audie L. Murphy Memorial VA Medical Center located in San Antonio, Texas, with potential additional work at the Kerrville VA Medical Center. Contractors must meet specific qualifications, including an Experience Modification Rate of 1.0 or less, no more than three serious OSHA/EPA violations in the past three years, and compliance with Davis-Bacon wage determinations for Bexar County. The project involves comprehensive elevator system upgrades, including replacing main controllers, motors, printed circuit boards, and ensuring full compatibility with the facility's fire safety systems and emergency power operations.
