The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 is soliciting bids to replace fan coil units in Building 18 at the Castle Point VA Medical Center in Wappingers Falls, New York. The project involves removing approximately 122 existing two-pipe fan coil units and replacing them with new four-pipe Daikin units, along with associated hydronic piping systems, a new chiller room with chillers, cooling towers, and related mechanical and electrical components. Key requirements include compliance with VA Design Guide standards, ASHRAE 90.1 energy efficiency requirements, Legionella prevention protocols, asbestos abatement procedures for approximately 2,200 linear feet of insulated piping, and use of the Autodesk Construction Cloud platform for project management. Bids must be submitted via email to Contracting Officer Daniel Barone by November 18, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST and must include a bid bond. The bid opening will occur via Microsoft Teams video conference, and a pre-bid site visit was held on October 21, 2025, at 10:00 AM.

This solicitation is designated as a 100 percent Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside, with subcontracting limitations requiring that prime contractors perform at least 85 percent of construction work themselves. The estimated contract value ranges between $2,000,000 and $5,000,000, with a performance period of 400 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. The project requires construction work during standard hours of 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday, and contractors must maintain negative air pressure, implement infection control and risk assessment (ICRA) containment barriers, and ensure minimal disruption to ongoing hospital operations. Prevailing wage rates as determined under the Davis-Bacon Act apply to the project, with rates established for Dutchess County construction work. The work will be performed entirely at the Castle Point VA Medical Center campus in Wappingers Falls, New York.
