Y1KA--Fort Logan National Cemetery Phase 1B Dam Spillway

The Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Construction and Facilities Management is soliciting bids for Phase 1B construction work at Fort Logan National Cemetery (Project Number 888-043B), specifically focusing on dam and spillway infrastructure improvements at two locations: Veterans Dam and Memorial Dam. The scope of work includes drainage improvements, spillway construction, dam crest modifications, channel improvements, utility relocations, pedestrian infrastructure development, and associated demolition and repair activities. Key contract requirements mandate that bidders be Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) entities verified through the Small Business Administration's VetCert program, with strict compliance required for subcontracting limitations (85% of general construction work must be performed in-house for SDVOSB firms). Bidders must submit electronic sealed bids via email to Rachel.Beason@va.gov with all required representations and certifications, including bid guarantees of 20% of the bid amount (not exceeding $3 million), performance and payment bonds, safety documentation, and SDVOSB subcontracting compliance certification. The current bid submission deadline is January 14, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST, with a virtual bid opening scheduled for 2:15 PM EST on the same date; technical questions and requests for information were due by September 25, 2025, with responses published on SAM.gov as formal amendments.

This solicitation is a 100% set-aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses with no other contractors eligible to bid. The estimated contract value ranges from $10 million to $20 million on a firm fixed-price basis, reflecting a substantial federal investment in critical cemetery infrastructure improvements. The contract performance period extends for 730 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with a tentative contract award date of November 15, 2025. The project is located at Fort Logan National Cemetery in Lakewood, Colorado, and involves coordination with multiple stakeholders including Denver Public Utilities and Xcel Energy for utility relocation work. The construction project falls under NAICS code 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and PSC code Y1KA (Construction of Dams), indicating the specialized nature of the infrastructure work required to complete this cemetery expansion phase.
