Z2DA--Renovate BLDG. 10 for CLC | Doris Miller VAMC

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 has issued Amendment 0002 to a Special Notice for the renovation of Building 10 for a Clinical Learning Center (CLC) at the Doris Miller VA Medical Center in Waco. This amendment extends the Request for Proposals (RFP) deadline to September 9, 2025, at 10:00 AM Central Standard Time and publishes responses to 107 Requests for Information that were submitted by interested contractors. The project involves comprehensive renovation work including new wall systems, window replacements, fire alarm and suppression system replacements, asbestos abatement, and utility modifications. This opportunity is structured as a design-bid-build contract and is set aside specifically for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. The contract falls under the Commercial and Institutional Building Construction NAICS code and specifically addresses repair or alteration of hospitals and infirmaries.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to provide updated information and extend the proposal submission deadline for contractors interested in renovating the healthcare facility to support clinical learning operations. Contractors must submit their proposals by the September 9, 2025 deadline and are required to provide unit pricing for specified items, submit shop drawings, and comply with VA specifications throughout the project execution. Eligibility is restricted to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, and bidders must provide bid bonds as part of their submission requirements. The project requires adherence to special inspection protocols, Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) levels, and fire watch procedures given the healthcare facility environment. The government encourages submission of Past Performance Questionnaires and allows consideration of subcontractor experience when evaluating proposals, while deduct alternates previously mentioned in the acquisition have been removed from consideration.
