The Special Notice is Amendment 0003 for the renovation of Building 10 at the Doris Miller Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) in Waco, Texas, which will be converted into a Community Living Center (CLC). This solicitation (36C25725R0062) is published by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 17. The amendment provides updated responses to 107 Requests for Information (RFI) and includes critical project documentation such as a geotechnical engineering report and VHA Pre-Construction Risk Assessment (PCRA). The project is set aside specifically for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business contractors. The opportunity was posted on September 3, 2025, with responses due by September 9, 2025.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to facilitate a comprehensive renovation project that will transform Building 10 into a fully functional Community Living Center through extensive architectural, electrical, fire protection, and utility system upgrades. The project operates under a design-bid-build approach with a 365-day period of performance and requires bid bonds from participating contractors. Key project requirements include installing new fire alarm and access control systems, complete replacement of fire protection systems, new window shades in resident rooms, overhead patient lifts, and ensuring full ADA compliance. The geotechnical report reveals challenging site conditions with expansive clay soils and recommends specialized foundation solutions including drilled piers extending into limestone bedrock. Only Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business contractors are eligible to participate in this solicitation, and the project is scheduled for completion by December 1, 2026.
