Z2NE--CON Project 667-22-118, Replacement Underground Water Tanks

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 (Overton Brooks VA Medical Center) cancelled Solicitation 36C25626R0064 for replacement of two underground potable water storage tanks (Project 667-22-118) in its entirety, effective August 6, 2026, with the final proposal deadline having been August 7.

The solicitation was structured as a total SDVOSB set-aside, requiring offerors to be registered and certified as Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business in the SBA Dynamic Small Business Search database. Place of performance was Shreveport, Louisiana. The contract was firm-fixed-price with a 365-calendar-day period of performance from notice to proceed, requiring work to begin within 10 calendar days of NTP.

The estimated project magnitude ranged from $2,000,000 to $5,000,000. NAICS code 237110 (Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction) applied, with a small business size standard of $45 million. PSC code Z2NE covered repair or alteration of water supply facilities.

Scope included construction of two 41-foot diameter, 300,000-gallon pre-stressed concrete tanks with domed roofs, a retaining wall, an analyzer building with electrical services, site grading, drainage systems, fencing, and related infrastructure. Geotechnical conditions required auger cast pile foundations embedded at least 30 feet below existing grade. All work required compliance with VA Design Manuals and applicable codes, with mandatory implementation of infection control risk assessment protocols appropriate to the active medical facility environment.

Evaluation criteria weighted technical factors—Management Approach/Schedule/Quality Management, Professional Qualifications and Subcontractor Experience, and Past Performance—approximately equally with price. Offerors had to demonstrate past performance on similar hospital or medical center projects valued between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000, provide a dedicated 30-hour OSHA-certified superintendent, and submit a bid bond of 20 percent of bid price or $3 million, whichever was less. The mandatory site visit occurred May 4, 2026.
