The awarded A/E firm will prepare drawings and specifications in sufficient detail such that qualified outside General Contracting companies can prepare accurate and timely proposals for the desired work. The awarded A/E firm is responsible for ensuring that the specifications and drawings supplied fully represent all of the work described in the Request for Proposal (RFP) for a future construction solicitation. The Medical Center must remain operational throughout the construction period and a detailed sequence of work will be provided by the A/E firm to minimize impact of the construction. The SF-330 form can be downloaded through the GSA Forms Library at: http://www.gsa.gov/portal/forms/type/TOP, type in 330 in the "Find A Form" block and click on search. The awarded A/E firm will adhere to the requirements in providing the VA a cost estimate that shall identify 20 percent of the total construction budget as viable deductive construction bid alternates by areas of work and/or phases. Each project site is expected to have a Design Period of Performance (POP) of 164 days, running concurrently, in addition to providing Construction Period Services (CPS) at a later date. There will be an estimated 48 site visits associated with the CPS to be defined as one designer or engineer for three hours each. STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES: It is the intent of the Department of Veterans Affairs to have the A/E fully survey, investigate, and document the existing conditions of locations affected by this work (per VISN-09 Vulnerability Assessment and Floor Plan), and all systems necessary in order to gain the knowledge and insight necessary to prepare quality, accurate documents in a professional and competent manner to accomplish the following: A.The primary focus of the project shall be on items that provide the greatest vulnerability reduction within the projects construction budget.
