VA261-17-R-0335 Revised Information Sheet *Due date extended to July 11, 2017 *Number of hard copies is five (5) *Evaluation Element 1 is Team Experience 06/27/2016 The Department of Veterans Affairs VA Sierra Nevada Health Care System, Reno, Nevada (VASNHCS) is seeking Architectural/Engineering (A/E) firms to submit a Standard Form (SF) 330 for the design of project 654-531, Design Community Living Center (CLC). This is a 100% Service Disable veteran Owned Small Business set-aside. This design effort shall primarily consist of preparing complete construction documents to construct a new, approximately 13,900 square foot, 12-20 bed long term care facility at the VA Sierra Nevada Health Care System in Reno, Nevada in accordance with VA design criteria. All VA design criteria can be accessed on the web at http://www.cfm.va.gov/TIL/ The A/E will register the design with the US Green Building Council and make every attempt to obtain Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver Certification to meet the Department of Veterans Affairs goal to comply with Executive Order 13423, Strengthening Environmental, Energy and Transportation. If during the design effort it becomes apparent that the facility will be unable to meet the Silver Certification, the A/E will address the issues in writing and develop a deductible contingency to meet the certification goals. Further information can be found at the VA Office of Construction and Facilities Management web page http://www.cfm.va.gov/til/sustain.asp Sustainable Design & Energy Reduction. In an effort to meet LEED criteria, the design of the building, specifically installation of new glazing, shall provide for as much natural light as possible. Skylights at the roof level would be considered as an acceptable option if installation of such would result in additional LEED points. Every effort should be made to provide corridor ceiling heights as high as possible to assure the facility criteria of 9 feet above finished floor is met at all areas of the building. The facility currently consists of a variety of buildings constructed from between 1937 through 2016. Due to this range in building ages, several different exterior finishes exist on campus. Although the design does not have to be tied in to any of the existing finishes, the building exterior appearance should relate to the existing campus. The exterior appearance of the building will require approval of the Facility Director. The A/E will include as part of the design all documents and reviews necessary to ensure that the proposed project is in compliance with the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) of 1970 and all VA requirements as outlined in the VA Office of Construction and Facilities Management web page at http://www.cfm.va.gov/til/spclRqmts.asp Environmental Compliance Manual. Any design element that will require an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement will be addressed to the facility prior to the completion of the design effort with a contingency plan to address the potential environmental impact. All recently constructed new buildings or renovations have been designed with a patient-centric and family-centric intent. The A/E shall include such considerations into all aspects of the design as appropriate. The A/E must review the VA provided Direct Digital Control (DDC) Network Layout spreadsheet. After review the A/E must provide design direction (within the Bid Docs) to maintain proper DDC network health. A/E is responsible for updating the spreadsheet once the project is complete.
