CONTRACT INFORMATION: Boise VA Medical Center, Boise, Idaho is seeking qualified Architect/Engineering Firms for award of one Firm Fixed Priced Contract to perform the Architect/Engineering services outlined and described herein. The Construction Cost Range for Project 531-317 is between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000.

Additionally, the project will remodel approximately 4,200 SF of space on the third floor B.85. The Specialty Care addition was designed to support a 3rd floor, however, the Admitting addition was not and so the third floor will have to span across that structure. In addition, there is mechanical equipment located on the roof of the Admitting addition that will have to be accounted for in a manner that keeps it operational. ICU will be relocated to the new space and the existing ICU and some parts of OR will be renovated to expand OR with additional suites. The building will be designed to current VA standards for Surgery, Admitting and Intensive Care Units. The project will correct the current undersized space and functional configuration layout deficiencies. The new building will facilitate improvements in patient safety, confidentiality, dignity, and infection control. The A/E shall meet with key VA staff at appropriate points throughout the design.

(5) Location in the general geographical area of the project and knowledge of the locality of the project; To be considered for this project the prospective contractor's office must be within a 60 mile radius of the VA Medical Center, Boise, Idaho; must have completed a project of similar scope in a medical setting, and the prospective contractor must be listed in Central Contractor Registration at https://www.bpn.gov/CCRSearch/Search.aspx. In addition to the evaluation criteria set forth in FAR 36.602-1 the board will consider the factors set forth in the Veterans Affairs Acquisition Regulations 836.602-1as follows.

Values will be assigned to each factor in determining the relative qualifications of the firms identified as qualified through the pre-selection process. Firms will then be ranked and the VA will hold discussions with a minimum of three of the top ranked firms. The values may be confirmed or adjustments may be made as a result of the discussions. Per FAR part 36.36.602-4(a) The final selection decision shall be made by the agency head or a designated selection authority.
