Z2LZ--Togus VARO Parking Lot Paving

The Department of Veterans Affairs seeks paving of Parking Lot 17 at its Togus Regional Office in Augusta, Maine, with proposals due August 17, 2026 (though one source references an August 12, 2026 deadline at 4:00 PM EDT). This is an unrestricted acquisition with no set-aside.

Place of performance is the Togus VA Regional Office in Augusta, Maine. The scope requires removal of an existing temporary gravel parking lot, installation of geotextile fabric, subgrade compaction, Maine DOT Type A gravel base installation, and two-inch base and wear surface asphalt courses, including parking lot striping and all required testing and documentation. The contractor must comply with VA specifications and Maine DOT standards, manage traffic control with VA police approval, provide OSHA-compliant safety documentation, complete NEPA analysis, prepare record drawings, and submit meeting minutes and site visit reports.

The contract period runs from August 17 through December 15, 2026 (120 calendar days from Notice to Proceed). The net budget is $19 million with Net 30 payment terms. Liquidated damages of $636.29 per calendar day apply for schedule delays. Standard working hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM.

The procurement requires personnel background checks and VA badging, compliance with Buy American requirements for construction materials, and adherence to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage determinations for Kennebec County, Maine. Special trade construction subcontracting limitations of 75% apply, meaning no more than 75% of contract value may be paid to non-certified SDVOSB/VOSB firms. Evaluation includes a Past Performance Questionnaire component. The NAICS code is 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors); the PSC is Z2LZ (Repair Or Alteration of Parking Facilities).
