- Description
- SOURCES SOUGHT: The VA Medical Center, 718 Smyth Road, Manchester, NH has a requirement for a Firm Fixed Price contract to provide professional Architect/Engineer (A/E) Design for Project Number 608-21-207. The VA Medical Center in Manchester, NH, began construction of Project 608-12-301, Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Plant, in 2013. The project installed a Caterpillar 740 kW gas generator and heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). The project was approximately 90% complete when it was suspended in 2015 to allow Project 608-12-101, Replace Boiler Plant and Emergency Generators, to proceed. The equipment in both projects utilized much of the same infrastructure and it was not feasible for both to proceed simultaneously. The boiler and emergency generator replacement project were prioritized as more critical to facility operations. After several delays to the boiler replacement project, the VA closed out the aging contracts for the CHP project. None of the original contractors (A/E, General Contractor, or Commissioning Agent) are currently involved with the project. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the feasibility of completing the CHP system. SCOPE: The scope of this project consists of Architectural and Engineer (A/E) services required to complete the project, as outlined in Supplements A & B below. The period of performance for the design is 176 calendar days and shall begin upon issuance of the Notice to Proceed (NTP) by the Contracting Officer. The VA will not be responsible for any costs incurred by interested parties in responding to this announcement. This is Request for Qualifications: The purpose of this notice is to request SF-330 Qualification statements from qualified SDVOSBs that have the experience directed at the requirements of the Statement of work.
