"The VA desires to convert this unit to a full-up Surgery suite and this study, evaluation, and design shall address all architectural, engineering, fire and life safety concerns for this conversion. "Although all architectural, engineering, fire and life safety concerns shall be addressed with the study, the most important engineering disciplines of concern are Mechanical-HVAC and Electrical power. oThe Mechanical-HVAC study, evaluation, and design shall be performed IAW and for compliance with the latest VA HVAC Design Criteria for surgery units.

Specifically, the VA desires to have all surgery unit power, lighting, controls, mechanical HVAC systems, fire and life safety systems on full emergency backup power, with the applicable automatic transfer functions. This study, evaluation, and design shall perform the appropriate electrical power analyses to determine if the existing 600kw facility generator system can accept this load. If the study reveals that the existing generator system cannot accept this load, then the alternative recommendations shall be submitted. This sources sought is to determine availability of experienced A/E firms that have Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) status that operates within a 150 mile radius of the JACC.
