Removal of oven from VCE shop

The Virginia Department of Corrections, specifically Virginia Correctional Enterprises (VCE), is seeking a contractor to remove a three-zone wood finishing oven from the wood shop at Greensville Correctional Center in Jarratt, VA. The procurement is a Quick Quote (unsealed bid) solicitation under RFX87920, with comprehensive requirements for oven dismantling and removal. The scope of work includes completely removing the oven, burners, exhaust ducting, and vent pipes, as well as patching exterior wall coverings and fabricating 2-3 rail support structures. Contractors must relocate rail systems and remove electrical conduits while ensuring the conveyor system remains fully operational. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for February 28, 2025, at 11:00 a.m., with background check forms required by February 21, 2025. The final bid responses are due by March 7, 2025, at 2:00 P.M. Contractors must provide all necessary equipment, tools, and materials, and work is restricted to daylight hours between 7:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.

This solicitation is specifically set aside for small business enhancement, with preferential treatment for DSBSD-certified micro businesses for bids under $10,000 and small businesses for bids under $100,000, contingent on prices being deemed fair and reasonable. No subcontractors are permitted, and contractors must strictly adhere to extensive security protocols required in the correctional facility environment. These protocols include comprehensive background checks, rigorous tool control procedures, and specific restrictions on clothing and personal items. The contract will result in a single purchase order subject to standard eVA transaction fees. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement suggests a potential contract value that would qualify under the small business set-aside thresholds of $10,000 and $100,000, depending on the complexity and specific requirements of the oven removal project.
