The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 seeks construction services to improve campus building exteriors at the Sioux Falls VA Health Care System, with proposals due August 28 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time. The procurement is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside, restricting competition to SDVOSB-certified concerns.

Place of performance is Sioux Falls, South Dakota (2501 W 22nd Street, 57105). The scope encompasses roof replacement, tuckpointing, entrance modifications, mechanical and electrical work, utility systems alterations, and building exterior improvements across Buildings 1, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 16, 17, 38, and 52. Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) roofing is the preferred material. The contractor must complete work within 700 calendar days after Notice to Proceed. The estimated award date is September 30.

The contract magnitude is estimated between $10 million and $20 million, with a firm-fixed-price requirements contract structure. NAICS code 236220 applies; small business size standard is $45 million. A bid guarantee of 20 percent of bid price or $3 million (whichever is less) is required, along with performance and payment bonds within 10 days of award. General liability insurance of $500,000 per occurrence and automobile liability of $200,000 per person/$500,000 per occurrence are required. Davis-Bacon prevailing wage applies.

Evaluation uses Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, weighing technical/schedule factors, experience (minimum three to five building roof replacement projects totaling $10 million or above within the past five years), key personnel experience (Project Manager, Site Supervisor, Safety Manager, Quality Manager), and price. All personnel require appropriate security clearance and authorization. The contractor must comply with infection control risk assessment protocols, mechanical equipment coordination (2 weeks advance notice for small units, 4 weeks for large equipment in sensitive inpatient areas), and work-hour restrictions (8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding weekends and holidays without Contracting Officer Representative approval).
