The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration is seeking a contractor to upgrade the storm sewer system at the Boise VA Medical Center through solicitation 36C26025R0035. The project involves demolition, removal of existing structures, and construction of new storm water infrastructure including manholes, catch basins, infiltration chambers, and sump pump installations across three project phases. Contractors will be evaluated using a best value trade-off method, with technical expertise and past performance significantly more important than price.

Contractors must maintain VA facility operations during construction and typically perform work during normal VA duty hours (Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM).

The procurement is not a specific small business set-aside, though it falls under NAICS code 237110 with a $45 million size standard for Water and Sewer Line Construction. The estimated construction cost ranges between $250,000-$500,000, with a total project duration of 120 calendar days after the Phase 1 Notice to Proceed. The project will be executed at 500 West Fort Street, Boise, ID 83702, with specific work divided into three distinct phases: Building 85 Storm Pipe Modification, Parking Lot 10 improvements, Parking Lot 18 improvements, and Parade Field improvements. A bid guarantee of 20% (not exceeding $3 million) is required, along with 100% payment and performance bonds upon award. Contractors must follow strict security protocols and coordinate utility shutdowns while minimizing disruption to VA facility operations.
