Z2FE--Renovate B119 Catholic Chapel [552-22-201]

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration is soliciting renovation services for the Catholic Chapel Building 119 (B119) at the Dayton VA Medical Center in Ohio. The project encompasses comprehensive building renovations including HVAC system installation and controls, electrical work with fire alarm integration, roofing with synthetic slate shingles, flooring with asbestos abatement coordination, masonry cleaning, architectural modifications, and audiovisual equipment installation. Key contract requirements include compliance with wage determinations, Section 106 National Historic Preservation Act review (completed with a determination of no adverse effect), coordination with Terracon for asbestos and lead paint abatement, and adherence to administrative hour restrictions (8:00 AM-4:30 PM, Monday-Friday). The solicitation specifies that all five HVAC units must be 5-ton models at 14.3 SEER efficiency with three-phase power, and contractors must submit original SF 1442 forms and complete Representations and Certifications; electronic bids are not accepted. The deadline for proposal submission is February 18, 2026 at 12:00 PM EST, with bid opening scheduled for the same date and time at the contracting office in Kettering, Ohio.

This contract opportunity is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, limiting competition to firms meeting this qualification. The solicitation does not identify any incumbent contractors or current service providers. No specific award value or budget range is stated in the available documentation, though the contracting officer has determined that pricing for the branded equipment (Tridium HVAC controls and Edwards System Technology fire alarm panels) will be evaluated as fair and reasonable based on commercial marketplace pricing. The project involves significant coordination requirements including mechanical design drawing reviews with subcontractors, hydrostatic testing for plumbing systems, and provision of temporary heating and cooling as needed during construction. The place of performance is Dayton, Ohio 45428, and the building will remain unoccupied throughout the construction period, allowing for continuous work without occupancy restrictions.
