The purpose of this notice is to determine if there are qualified SDVOSBs or VOSBs that have the experience in A/E Services for a complete design for exterior site improvements on the Northampton VAMC campus, and to determine if such qualified businesses are interested in this A/E requirement.

This includes repairing sidewalks, walkways, exterior concrete stairs, roadways and pavement, parking lot pavement repair, and identifying sites for approximately 200 additional parking spots. We estimate the amount of pavement area to be repaired / replaced to be 400,000 SF. This project must be phased by priority into smaller construction chunks in order to maximize budget availability. Conduct preliminary project scope meetings and site survey investigations to develop the necessary elements for conceptual layout schemes with proposed alternatives consistent with the VA s project team goals as prioritized during preliminary project meetings, field surveys and studies. The intent of this project is to modernize the areas and include, but is not limited to: Repair / replace sidewalks and walkways so as to eliminate tripping hazards and ensure compliance with code requirements Repair / replace concrete pads and curbing where identified Repair existing concrete caps for vertical supports where identified within covered exterior tunnel walkway Repair / replace exterior staircases where required so as to eliminate tripping hazards and ensure compliance with code requirements Repair / Replace pavement in parking lots where required including restriping Repair / Replace pavement in areas not covered by previous work Identify and design for new parking lots (or extensions of others) that would accommodate approximately 250 more parking spots Prepare and submit all required environmental permits for impacted areas Demolish buildings (ensure proper environmental requirements are met) where identified. (approximately 12 small buildings) Prepare Historical Documents for submission with Section 106 and Mass SHPO requirements Bollard improvements The Leeds campus requires significant exterior site work including concrete, pavement, demolishing building and adding parking in order to improve access and improve the patient experience. There was a site improvement project in 2015 which included new pavement on about ½ the campus and improvements in the storm water drainage system. However, the remainder of campus roadways and walkways require significant repair. There are approximately 12 buildings that the VA wishes to demolish due to inability to maintain and existing environmental hazards that exist within. The campus has been cited on numerous occasions for slips, trips, and fall hazards which must be remedied. It is the intention of the Facilities Management Service to have all these improvements fall under this design contract but have the A/E phase the construction work in such a way that the high priorities and most dangerous locations are remedied first so as to capitalize on the budget cycle of the VA. Work will include, but not be limited to, civil, structural, environmental, structural, geotechnical and asbestos and lead paint removal. There is minor mechanical, electrical, and architectural work expected.
