Crossroads renovation

Fairfax County is soliciting prequalification applications from general contractors for the Crossroads Renovation project, a comprehensive renovation of a 40,000 square foot residential substance abuse treatment and rehabilitation facility located at 6901 South Van Dorn Street, Alexandria, Virginia. The scope of work encompasses interior demolition and reconfiguration, complete building systems upgrades, elevator modernization, exterior renovations with energy-efficient building envelope improvements, upgraded HVAC and electrical systems, photovoltaic roof panels, window and siding replacement, anti-ligature and barricade-resistant residential room design, kitchen renovation, fire detection and suppression system upgrades, and site improvements including electric vehicle charging stations, asphalt repaving, accessible parking spaces, a concrete pavilion, and underground stormwater management system. Additionally, the project includes the construction of two single-story building additions totaling approximately 4,800 square feet. To qualify, applicants must demonstrate at least ten years of operation as a full-time Virginia Class A licensed construction contractor, completion of at least three similar projects valued at $15 million or more within the past seven years for governmental, institutional, or private owners, satisfactory performance on similar-sized and complexity projects within the past ten years, and the ability to obtain performance and payment bonds. Prequalification applications must be submitted by May 8, 2026 (postmarked for hardcopy submissions or transmitted by 2:00 PM for electronic submissions), with the County notifying all applicants of prequalification determinations within thirty calendar days of the application deadline. The construction contract is anticipated to be advertised in July 2026 with bid opening scheduled for September 2026, contract award and construction start in Fall 2026, and an overall construction duration of approximately 24 months. Only prequalified contractors will be eligible to submit bids for this project.

All contractors must comply with the Fairfax County Prevailing Wage Ordinance, Virginia Code 2.2-4321.3, and the Fairfax County Construction Safety Resolution requirements, which restrict bidders with certain OSHA safety violations or contract terminations from the past three years unless they meet specific eligibility criteria. Applicants must provide audited financial statements for the previous three fiscal years, workers' compensation Experience Modification Rates and OSHA incidence rates for the past three years, and surety bonding capacity documentation. The prequalification application requires extensive documentation including organizational information, project experience with detailed references from engineers, architects, major subcontractors, and previous project owners, key personnel details, safety and quality control programs, and mandatory disclosures of any judgments, contract defaults, failed projects, litigation, bankruptcy filings, debarment status, and insurance claim denials within defined historical periods. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the available documentation, nor are there any incumbent vendors or current contractors identified. The estimated construction cost is approximately $25 million USD, making this a significant capital project requiring substantial contractor capacity and demonstrated expertise.
