Z1DA--583-22-106 - Replace Electrical Panels& Expand Distribution Construction Project - Market Research Posting

Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 of the Department of Veterans Affairs is conducting market research to identify a competition pool for a construction solicitation to replace electrical panels and expand electrical distribution capacity at Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center in Indianapolis, Indiana, with a sources-sought response deadline of August 20, 2026.

Work is performed at the medical facility located at 1481 W. 10th Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46202, with the contracting office in Cincinnati, Ohio. The project (VA Project Number 583-22-106) is classified under PSC Z1DA and NAICS 238210.

The scope includes replacement of three existing unit substations with a new single-ended unit substation, modification of existing medium voltage feeders, installation of new medium voltage feeders in underground duct banks, addition of distribution capacity to the existing generator paralleling switchgear, HVAC improvements in the existing main electrical room, demolition and repair of concrete and asphalt pavement, electrical duct bank installation, and storm sewer modifications. The project is phased to maintain 24/7 facility operations and access to Building 21 (Police) with at least half of police parking stalls remaining open throughout. Six deduct alternates are available for independent pricing.

Base bid work allows 731 calendar days total completion: 571 calendar days for submittal approvals and material lead times, and 159 calendar days for installation of the longest lead time equipment. Utility interruption protocols require 15–30 calendar days advance notice depending on outage duration. Contractor employees must park at a remote location (2669 Cold Springs Road). Design of delegated items including equipment connections, cold-formed steel framing, seismic bracing, and shoring systems requires stamps from Indiana-licensed professional engineers.
