Y1DA--Reconfigure Outpatient Rehab Medicine 674-21-101

The Department of Veterans Affairs Central Texas Veterans Health Administration Network is seeking contractors to reconfigure the Outpatient Rehabilitation Medicine area at the Olin E. Teague Veterans Center in Temple, Texas. The project involves comprehensive renovation of approximately 26,000 gross square feet in the basement of Building 163, including demolition of existing pharmacy service areas, sterilization work areas, exam rooms, treatment rooms, occupational therapy spaces, and a therapeutic pool, followed by construction of redesigned pharmacy spaces with robot areas, IV and sterilization rooms, physical therapy facilities, and telehealth areas. Contractors must provide all labor, supervision, materials, and equipment for this multi-phased construction project that requires the new Outpatient Pharmacy space to be fully operational before work begins on the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Service area. The contract will be awarded using a past performance price trade-off evaluation method, where past performance is significantly more important than price, with contractors required to submit four volumes covering technical acceptability, past performance, price, and solicitation documents. Critical dates include a mandatory site visit held on August 6, 2025, at 9:00 AM CST, requests for information due by August 19, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST, and proposals due on September 4, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST.

This opportunity is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 236220 for commercial and institutional building construction. The project magnitude is estimated between $10,000,000 and $20,000,000, with contractors required to complete the entire project within 550 calendar days after receiving the notice to proceed and begin work within 10 calendar days of award. Performance and payment bonds are mandatory requirements for the selected contractor, who must also provide a minimum three-year warranty on all work performed. The work will be performed at the Olin E. Teague Veterans Center located in Temple, Texas 76504, with strict requirements for minimal facility disruption, infection control measures, and adherence to VA specifications and safety standards throughout the renovation process. The solicitation includes eight supporting attachments covering technical specifications, drawings, wage determinations, and medical equipment requirements, with Amendment 1 posted to include the contractor site visit sign-in sheet.
