605-341 - Relocate Dialysis Minor Construct - Loma Linda, CA

Background
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Program Contracting Activity Central (PCAC), is conducting a market survey for potential sources to undertake the Relocate Dialysis Minor Construction project at the Jerry L. Pettis Memorial Veterans Hospital in Loma Linda, CA.

The project aims to improve access for veterans receiving dialysis care and address deteriorating plumbing systems that have caused significant damage.

Work Details
The project involves constructing a new 2-story, 12,500 sq ft dialysis center and remodeling 3,400 sq ft of existing space on the first and second floors.

Key tasks include:
- relocating dialysis operations to ground level for easier access;
- altering and rerouting the emergency access road according to provided specifications;
- performing earthwork and retaining wall work for an adjacent water pond affected by road alterations;
- installing dialysis reverse osmosis plumbing components and waste lines as per drawings;
- ensuring the new building accommodates growth for all dialysis operations.

Period of Performance
The estimated duration of the project is 730 calendar days from the issuance of a Notice to Proceed.

Place of Performance
Jerry L. Pettis Memorial Veterans Hospital, 11201 Benton St, Loma Linda, CA 92357, USA.

Bidder Requirements
Bidders must provide a general capabilities statement including company name, Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), address, point-of-contact details, bonding capacity letter from their bonding company in line with VAAR magnitude requirements ($10 million to $20 million), and evidence of relevant past performance on similar projects within the last seven years.

Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
The prior contract 36C77621C0065 awarded to Davy Architecture (valued at $1,607,591) appears closely related to the current effort, as it provided A-E design services to relocate the dialysis center at the Loma Linda VA Medical Center. The current project similarly involves relocating dialysis operations and constructing/remodeling space for a new dialysis center at the same facility, suggesting the new work may be a continuation of the same relocation effort from design into construction.
