Z2DA--613-22-128 Repair Steam Piping Building 500 to 320 (VA-25-00033489)

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 is soliciting proposals for Project 613-22-128, which involves comprehensive repair and replacement of steam piping infrastructure between Buildings 500 and 320 at the VA Medical Center in Martinsburg, West Virginia. The project encompasses replacing approximately 130 linear feet of 8-12 inch high-pressure steam line, 210 linear feet of 2-6 inch pumped condensate return line, and 60 total fittings, with work requiring glovebag asbestos abatement due to the presence of asbestos-containing materials throughout the facility's aging infrastructure. Contractors must demonstrate technical capability, past performance, and competitive pricing, as the government will evaluate proposals using a best value trade-off analysis based on these three criteria. The solicitation includes detailed wage rate requirements under Davis-Bacon prevailing wage determinations, with rates ranging from $22.81 for laborers to $57.16 for elevator mechanics. Proposals are due by August 12, 2025, at 3:00 PM EDT, following a pre-proposal site visit that was rescheduled from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM on July 10, 2025.

This procurement is designated as a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 238220, with an estimated contract value ranging from $5 million to $10 million. The project requires a construction completion timeline of 548 calendar days and involves complex work including excavation across two asphalt roads, installation of new high-pressure steam and condensate mains, and extensive coordination within an active hospital environment. Contractors must be verified in VetCert or the System for Award Management and comply with limitations on subcontracting requirements specific to SDVOSB set-asides. The work will be performed at the Martinsburg VA Medical Center located at 510 Butler Avenue, Martinsburg, West Virginia, and requires full-time safety supervision, specialized welding and testing procedures, and careful handling of asbestos-containing materials identified in multiple facility surveys. The government will award a firm fixed-price single award contract, with additional pricing required for potential rock removal expressed in dollars per cubic yard.
