Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), through its PCAC office, is soliciting proposals for the EHRM Huntington VAMC 581-22-700 Construct Infrastructure Upgrades project at the Hershel “Woody” Williams Veteran Affairs Medical Center in Huntington, West Virginia. This Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Set-Aside opportunity has an estimated magnitude of $20,000,000 to $50,000,000. Proposals are due May 20, 2026, at 2:00 PM EDT.
Scope of Work
This project requires a contractor to provide all labor, project management, materials, tools, supplies, and equipment for comprehensive infrastructure upgrades. The scope includes general construction, alterations, roads, walks, grading, drainage, and removal of existing structures. Extensive upgrades to electrical, mechanical, and telecommunications systems are central to the EHRM initiative. Specific areas of work involve updated Civil OSP, Structural, and Electrical drawings, as well as modifications to TR Tower 4 and Data Center Phase 1B demolition.
Contract Details
- Type: Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP)
- Magnitude: $20,000,000 to $50,000,000
- Period of Performance: 690 Calendar Days after receipt of Notice to Proceed (NTP), with NTP anticipated within 90 days of award.
- Set-Aside: Competitive Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). Offerors must be SBA-certified SDVOSBs.
- Subcontracting Limitations: For general construction, contractors cannot pay more than 85% of the amount received from the government to non-SDVOSB/VOSB firms. A mandatory certification of compliance is required.
Submission & Evaluation
Proposals must be submitted via email to Sadaya.Brittian@va.gov and Samantha.Mihaila@va.gov. Submissions require three volumes (Technical, Price, Administrative) as searchable PDFs, sent in separate emails, each under 5MB. Evaluation will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method. Technical capability requires demonstrating experience with 2-5 construction projects completed within the last six years, each valued at a minimum of $20M and 75% complete, specifically in occupied medical facilities. A bid guarantee (20% of proposal price, max $3M) and Payment and Performance Bonds are required.
Key Considerations
The project is not tax-exempt, and offerors must factor all state and local taxes into their FFP bid. All personnel working within VA facilities require a VA PIV Card. The Buy American Act applies, and any deviations must be explicitly listed. Specific items, such as CAT6A cutovers, power shutdowns in patient care areas, and IT outages, will require after-hours work. Phased substantial completion will be utilized. An Environmental Report identifies asbestos and lead-based paint, requiring licensed abatement if disturbed. Detailed crane lift plans are mandatory, adhering to 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC and EM 385-1-1, with strict safety measures for lifts over occupied areas. General requirements outline comprehensive operational, safety, and administrative protocols, including site access, security, and coordination within an active medical facility. Geotechnical reports are provided for foundation design. FAR 52.222-90, "Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors," is included.
