IFB 159619 Vegetative Waste Disposal

Hanover County in Virginia is seeking a Planning Study for submission to the VA Board of Corrections, specifically focused on converting an existing indoor recreation room into a dormitory. The procurement opportunity, identified by the contract ID 66c4cfabede7d61cf70be717, was posted on August 9, 2013, with proposals due by August 23, 2013. The primary objective of this study is to document and justify the proposed facility modification, likely to support reimbursement requests from the state corrections board. The study will need to comprehensively outline the current recreational space, proposed dormitory conversion plans, potential cost implications, and anticipated impact on facility operations. Potential respondents should be prepared to provide detailed architectural and programmatic documentation that supports the strategic rationale for the space transformation. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly stated, the submission will likely be assessed on its technical completeness, feasibility, and alignment with corrections facility standards.

The contract opportunity does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations. No information is provided about incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure requirements for integration. The procurement appears to be a focused planning study with potential reimbursement implications, suggesting that architectural, engineering, or corrections facility planning firms would be most appropriate respondents. The budget range and potential award value are not specified in the available documentation. Given the narrow timeframe between posting and proposal due dates (approximately two weeks), interested firms would need to move quickly to prepare and submit a comprehensive planning study. The study's ultimate purpose of converting a recreational space to a dormitory implies potential capacity expansion or operational reconfiguration within the Hanover County corrections system.
