The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 is seeking proposals for comprehensive site preparation construction for a new Fisher House at the Overton Brooks VA Medical Center in Shreveport, Louisiana. The project involves extensive site preparation work including excavation, grading, utility installations (water, steam, gas, power, sewer, surveillance), electrical infrastructure development, concrete work, removal of existing structures, and landscaping preparation. Contractors must be registered and certified as Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) in the SBA Dynamic Small Business Search site, with strict subcontracting limitations requiring that no more than 75% of the contract amount can be paid to non-SDVOSB firms. The evaluation will include assessment of past performance through detailed questionnaires, safety records including OSHA documentation, surety bonding capabilities, and technical compliance with specifications. A mandatory site visit was conducted on July 31, 2025, proposals are due August 25, 2025 at 2:00 PM CDT, and questions can be submitted through the RFI process to the contracting office.

This procurement is designated as a total Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside with no indication of current incumbents. The estimated project value ranges between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 for Project #667-23-113 located in Caddo Parish, Louisiana. The performance period spans 270 calendar days total, including a 30-day pre-construction period for submittals and site survey followed by a 240-calendar day construction period, with contractors required to begin work within 10 days of receiving notice to proceed. Work will be performed at the Overton Brooks VA Medical Center campus, with specific infection control protocols required due to the hospital environment and coordination necessary for utility shutdowns with VA personnel. The project must comply with Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements, with minimum wages set at $17.75 per hour in accordance with Executive Orders 14026 and 13658.
