Z1DA--621-23-104 - Relocate Police Dispatch

The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking construction services for project 621-23-104 to relocate the police dispatch center at the James H. Quillen VA Medical Center in Mountain Home, Tennessee. Originally issued as a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside under an Invitation for Bids (IFB), the project includes demolition, architectural renovations, and the relocation of critical life-safety and communication systems. Amendment 0005 formally canceled the current solicitation due to a protest corrective action and funding constraints. The government intends to re-solicit this requirement as a Request for Proposals (RFP) under FAR Part 15 within approximately 60 days. Technical requirements are detailed in a comprehensive package of 100% construction specifications and drawings, which mandate standards for infection control, site safety, and specialized system integration. The original performance period was set at 365 calendar days, including a 90-day administrative phase and 275 days for construction. The project involves relocating the Police Dispatch center from room L100K to room L024 at the James H. Quillen VA Medical Center. The source package includes 100% construction documents, technical specifications, and architectural drawings for fire protection, mechanical, electrical, and technology systems. The project follows a 365-calendar day schedule, split into a 90-day administrative phase and a 275-day construction phase. The administrative phase requires the contractor to submit a submittal register within 15 days of the Notice to Proceed and obtain approval for the baseline schedule.
