About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center Austin is soliciting bids for Electronic Health Records Modernization (EHRM) Infrastructure Upgrades at the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center in Chicago, Illinois. The project encompasses comprehensive construction and infrastructure improvements including general construction, alterations, site design, landscape restoration, roofing, selective removal of existing structures, millwork, and interior finishes across multiple buildings at the medical center. Key contract requirements include completion of all work within 732 calendar days after receiving the Notice to Proceed, attendance at a mandatory pre-bid site visit, compliance with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements as specified in the Cook County, Illinois wage determination, and adherence to strict Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) protocols during construction in the active medical facility. The evaluation criteria will focus on technical qualifications and bid pricing, with bidders required to acknowledge all amendments to the solicitation and provide a bid guarantee of 20 percent of the bid price not to exceed $3 million. The original solicitation was posted on September 3, 2025, with the bid due date extended multiple times through nine amendments, ultimately set for November 18, 2025, at 1:00 PM Central Time, followed by a virtual bid opening at 1:30 PM CT via Microsoft Teams.
This solicitation is designated as a total set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), requiring that successful contractors maintain at least an 85 percent compliance threshold for subcontracting limitations on general construction work. The bid abstract issued on November 20, 2025, shows four bids received: AmeriTech Contracting at $28,493,724.00, The Polvony Group, Inc. at $30,002,000.00, P&J Tyler Lane Joint Venture at $28,721,000.00, and Sawtooth Construction JV II LLC at $36,805,014.00, with the government estimate of $29,814,000.00 serving as the baseline for reasonableness. The project requires substantial coordination across multiple buildings including the Atrium, Bed Tower (Building 40), Ogden, Damen, and Taylor Buildings, with work involving low-voltage and medium-voltage electrical upgrades, telecommunications room renovations, fiber optic cabling installation, fire protection system modifications, and comprehensive security and access control system implementations. The work will be performed at the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center located at 820 South Damen Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60612, with particular emphasis on maintaining hospital operations during construction through weekend and off-hours work schedules and strict infection control measures to protect patients and staff.
