Description

The Office of Construction and Facilities Management (CFM) located in Vallejo, CA is conducting market research regarding the use of Bundling for VA101-15-R-0148; Project Number is 664-401, Spinal Cord Injury/Community Living Center Building and Parking Structures at the San Diego VA Medical Center in San Diego, California. Please provide comments to me within fifteen (15) days from the posting date of this announcement. Contract bundling is defined as consolidating two or more procurement requirements for goods or services previously provided or performed under separate, smaller contracts into a solicitation of offers for a single contract that is unlikely to be suitable for award to a small business concern. Federal Acquisition Regulation states that market research may indicate that bundling is necessary and justified if an agency or the Government would derive measurably substantial benefits. Measurably substantial benefits may include, individually or in any combination or aggregate, cost savings or price reduction, quality improvements that will save time or improve or enhance performance or efficiency, reduction in acquisition cycle times, better terms and conditions, and any other benefits. Both the Spinal Cord Injury/Community Living Center Building (SCI/CLC) and the two parking structures are critical to the success of the ongoing VA mission and delays to acquisition would be detrimental to both the overall project phasing (including future acquisition) and the ongoing missions being carried out on the VA San Diego campus. Specifically, delays to acquisition and construction of the new SCI/CLC would adversely affect the delivery of healthcare to veterans while similar delay of the parking structures would result an unmanageable situation on the campus. The parking structures are designed to be constructed adjacent to each other with the SCI/SLC building across from the parking structures. Compounding this are two significant construction projects, the City of San Diego Trolley construction and the UCSD Gilman Road realignment project. Both projects are within the proximity of the VA San Diego Campus and will exacerbate the issues with safety coordination, parking and work-area overlapping boundary problems during construction. The SCI/CLC building is a single 4-story, 180,000 square feet building consisting of 3 SCI floors, with the top 4th floor assigned to CLC residents. The road between the SCI/CLC and parking structures will involve utility trenches and extensive site grading. Space for contractor staging/laydown and material storage is limited. The estimated magnitude for this project is more than $100 Million. The larger parking structure is designed for 800 spaces. The estimated magnitude for this project is between $10 and $20 Million. The smaller parking structures will contain 400 parking spaces. The estimated magnitude for this project is between $5 and $10 Million. Aspects of the construction associated with the SCI/CLC and two parking structures that could be separated without adverse impact to safety, schedule, or medical center operations have been broken out as separate contract packages to be advertised in later phases in an attempt to mitigate the adverse impact to opportunities for small business. These separate contract packages are likely to generate interest from more than one small business and market research may demonstrate them suitable for small business set asides. These projects include: (1) CLC Hospice, estimated magnitude between $5 and $10 Million, (2) Building 11 seismic retrofit estimated magnitude between $10 and $20 Million. Within fifteen (15) days of the posting date of this announcement, please provide comments to noella.bond@va.gov.
