The scope encompasses electronic health records management (EHRM) infrastructure upgrades including electrical bonding, uninterruptible power supply systems, building management system interfaces, HVAC rebalancing and commissioning, telecommunications infrastructure with Category 6A structured cabling and fiber optic backbone, physical security and video surveillance system integration, fire alarm integration, and hazardous material abatement across multiple campus buildings. Place of performance is Tuskegee, Alabama. The contract magnitude ranges from $20 million to $50 million under NAICS code 236220.

The procurement is Firm Fixed Price with no economic price adjustment. Notice to Proceed is expected within 90 calendar days of award; performance must be completed within 911 calendar days of NTP. Bidders must submit sealed proposals with a bid guarantee of no less than 20% of proposal price (not to exceed $3 million), plus 100% performance and payment bonds prior to work commencement.

Contractor personnel require PIV badging. The prime contractor must designate a BICSI-certified project superintendent, RCDD-certified cable installers, VA-contracted system manufacturers, a Site Safety and Health Officer, a Superintendent, and a Quality Control Manager.

Contractors must comply with Buy American Act material sourcing (FAR 52.225-11 and 52.225-12) and prevailing wage determinations for building construction in Macon County, Alabama, with no prevailing labor agreement requirement.

Past performance evaluation requires at least two and no more than three substantially complete projects (minimum $20 million magnitude) from the last six years demonstrating similar telecommunications infrastructure scope and complexity; at least one must be completed by the prime contractor.
