The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration is seeking a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) contractor to replace the roof and windows of Building 4 at the Alexandria VA Health Care System in Pineville, Louisiana. The project involves comprehensive renovation of a 22,000 square foot, two-story historic building constructed in 1929, including installing a new 80 mil TPO adhered roofing system, copper gutters and downspouts, and energy-efficient double-pane windows that maintain the building's historic aesthetic. Proposals will be evaluated on four factors: Technical Approach, Professional Qualifications, Past Performance, and Price, with SDVOSB status being a critical eligibility requirement. The solicitation requires a mandatory site visit on April 8, 2025, at 9:00 AM Central Time, and electronic proposals must be submitted by May 1, 2025, at 2:00 PM CDT. Contractors must be registered and certified as an SDVOSB in the SBA Veteran Small Business Certification site.

The contract is a total SDVOSB set-aside with an estimated project value between $2,000,000 and $5,000,000. The project requires a 90-day pre-construction period for submittals and site survey, followed by a 365-calendar day construction period, with a proposed Notice to Proceed date of June 16, 2025. The scope includes specific requirements such as lead-based paint abatement, stucco facade repairs, exterior painting, and installation of roof insulation with R-25 to R-38 values. The work will be conducted on a fully operational VA hospital campus, with strict guidelines to maintain continuous food service operations and minimize disruption to hospital activities. Specific technical requirements include using Ludowici custom clay roof tiles, which were specifically approved by the State Historic Preservation Office, and installing new window systems that match the building's historic architectural elements. The project will be located at 2495 Shreveport Hwy in Pineville, Louisiana, and requires careful coordination with multiple VA departments to ensure safety and operational continuity.
