Z1DA--Improve CLC and Facility Security 539-25-506

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 is seeking complete construction services to improve security at the Cincinnati Veterans Affairs Medical Center through the installation of additional security cameras in Building 2 (Community Living Center) and Building 1. The project requires a contractor to provide all labor, materials, equipment, and supervision necessary to install nine Avigilon IP-based CCTV system cameras that will integrate with the existing facility infrastructure, with most cameras connecting via fiber optic cables to the Police Watch Office. Contractors must be Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) certified in the SBA database and comply with limitations on subcontracting, which restrict subcontracting to no more than 50% of services or 85% of general construction work. The project requires BICSI certified installers and a project superintendent, with specific technical requirements including CAT6A power over ethernet cables and integration with the existing Avigilon CCTV system. The solicitation amendment extended the proposal submission deadline to July 14, 2025, at 10:00 AM ET, with quotes to be submitted via email to the contracting officer.

This procurement is set aside specifically for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, with no incumbent contractor identified in the documentation. The contract value is estimated between $25,000 and $100,000 according to the initial RFP, though a separate justification document references an estimated value of approximately $250,000 for the Avigilon CCTV system devices. The project involves installing a total of nine security cameras across multiple locations, including six cameras in the CLC building's first floor, cameras in the Methadone Clinic area, and additional cameras in various hallway locations. The performance period is established at 90 days from Notice to Proceed, with work to be performed at the Cincinnati VA Medical Center campus. A site visit was conducted on June 18, 2025, and the project includes comprehensive specifications for electronic safety and security systems, requiring compliance with Davis-Bacon wage determinations for Hamilton County, Ohio construction trades.
