Y1LC--Replace Steam Line Buildings 115, 118, and 400 [552-24-512]

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 is seeking contractors to replace steam lines in Buildings 115, 118, and 400 at their Dayton, Ohio facility. This comprehensive infrastructure project involves the removal and replacement of existing steam distribution systems, including direct bury pipe installation, mechanical system modifications, and associated HVAC work across multiple buildings. The solicitation amendment provides pre-bid Request for Information answers, technical drawings, specifications, photographs of existing conditions, and bid opening call-in information to support contractor evaluation of the project scope. The project requires compliance with strict environmental controls, demolition specifications, earthwork standards, and infection control measures, particularly in building basements where the work will be performed. Proposals are due July 15, 2025, with bid opening conducted via conference call, and contractors must demonstrate capabilities in plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems as well as subsurface construction work.

This opportunity is set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business concerns, reflecting the VA's commitment to supporting veteran-owned enterprises. The project has a 120-day performance period and requires on-site personnel including a dedicated superintendent, with work primarily scheduled during regular business hours. Contractors must obtain VA badging, background checks, and tuberculosis testing, and will have access to designated laydown areas, parking along New Hampshire Avenue, and VA indoor facilities. The work location is specifically at the Dayton VA Medical Center in Dayton, Ohio 45428, where contractors will need to coordinate with ongoing facility operations while implementing comprehensive steam line infrastructure improvements. The project involves technical specifications for stainless steel components, sump pump installation, utility relocations, and the use of specialized pre-insulated piping systems with specific thermal performance requirements.
