Z2DA--Correct Tunnel Water Protection

This Special Notice from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 seeks proposals for the Correct Tunnel Water Protection project numbered 573-18-604. The purpose of the project is to address ongoing issues of water intrusion into a pedestrian tunnel connecting two hospitals in Gainesville, Florida.

The Notice amends a previous solicitation and responds to contractor questions submitted under a prior Request for Information. Proposals are due by September 8, 2022 at 3:30 PM Eastern Time to perform repairs and improvements to protect the tunnel in phases on weekends and weekday nights. Contractors must maintain access for staff and patients, use an on-site storage area, and are permitted one construction trailer. Work will involve refinishing existing pipe railings either in place or off site using specified exterior paint. Eligible contractors of all sizes may participate; no set-aside criteria apply. Accompanying documents provide additional context through an engineering report, sign-in sheets, and responses to requests for information.
