Z2DA--Provide Emergency Backup to Standby Power for Motor Control Center at Chiller Plant

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 and VA Caribbean Healthcare System, Network Contracting Office 8, is seeking proposals for construction services to provide emergency backup power to the motor control center at a chiller plant. The selected contractor must install an enclosure next to an existing generator, install two automatic transfer switches with closed transition capability, install main breakers and feeders, and connect a supervisory control and data acquisition system to the facility's existing system. Proposals will be evaluated based on past performance, technical approach, project schedule, and key personnel. Responses are due by July 14, 2023.

This opportunity is set aside exclusively for verified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. The project involves construction work under NAICS codes 237110 and 238210 at the VA medical center in Puerto Rico, with an anticipated period of performance of 730 calendar days from notice to proceed. Evaluation criteria include past performance, technical approach, project schedule, and key personnel. The government estimates the contract value to be between $500,000 and $1,000,000.
