This acquisition will expand VASNHC ability to design, construct and renovate facilities. Objective The objective of this acquisition is to secure additional qualified personnel to assist VA Engineering staff in the design, construction, and renovation of structures in various stages of design or construction. The SNHCS is currently exercising a contract with Alares Engineering for these services and has had previous contracts with Alares Engineering to perform under similar contracts. Alares Engineering has performed more than satisfactorily and is an SDVOSB. The SNHCS wishes to continue working with Alares Engineering under a new contract. Scope of Work The VA Sierra Nevada Health Care System (VASNHCS) is seeking design and construction services from engineering consultants with mid-level experience to oversee plan preparation and construction. The Contractor shall provide all the services requested by the VASNHCS as detailed in section (2). The Contractor shall demonstrate proven PM/CM expertise for projects of various sizes and complexity. The Contractor shall provide efficient and comprehensive project management through all phases of the projects, with particular emphasis placed on the capability to work in partnership with VA, consultants, and contractors during pre-solicitation, contract award, project design, and construction phases. Background SNCHS has experienced several key construction project delays and cancellations due to insufficient engineering staff over the past several years. The proposed PM/CM acquisition will provide comprehensive, professional, and competent project management for reviewing, logging, monitoring, and archiving construction submittals, Requests for Information (RFI s), and other communications with all parties in the pre-solicitation, design, and construction process. Type of Contract Contemplated The contractual type is expected to be Firm Fixed Price for a contracted amount of professional time, calculated hourly. The contract may be cancelled at any time by the Contracting Officer on advice from the VASNHCS it is no longer necessary. Period of Performance The period of performance of this contract is 365 days from Notice to Proceed. SNHCS wishes option years to continue the contract if the need remains and performance by the contractor is satisfactory. Place of Performance All work to be performed at the VA Sierra Nevada Health Care System (VASNHCS) located at: 975 Kirman Avenue Reno, Nevada Applicable Documents All applicable documentation on the Office of Construction & Facilities Management s (CFM) Technical Information Library (TIL): https://www.cfm.va.gov/til/index.asp.

Assignment shall be made and withdrawn solely at the discretion of the VA COR with the concurrence of the Contracting Officer. The Contractor during design shall provide a variety of project management services as described in this document including, but not limited to: design and constructability reviews (including value engineering); pre-solicitation document and procurement support; feasibility studies which may include providing a minimal design; construction management; development of a Project Management Plan; assistance for building commissioning and building commissioning; and post-construction support in cooperation with VA personnel, building occupants, and project architect-engineers. Design oversight commences on assignment by the VA to the Contractor and ceases when instructed to do so by the VA. During construction the Contractor shall be responsible for, but not limited to: ensuring that all labor, material, tools, equipment, excavation, shoring and reshoring, testing, inspection, commissioning, and all necessary work set forth in the specifications and plans required by or may be reasonably inferred from the contract documents is performed in adherence to VA plans and specifications; and to provide the project management services and construction management services for the selected facility projects in an acceptable manner.

The intent of this contract is to require the assigned Project Manager or Construction Manager to primarily perform his/her duties at the Contractor s facilities, but also necessarily visit the project sites and attend VA/Construction Contractor meetings when required.

The PM/CM shall provide an approved means for revisions to the project documents as changes become necessary. In addition to the CMP, the PM/CM shall include scheduling data that includes Actual Cost of Work Performed (ACWP); actual schedule progress, milestones reached and earned value; variance analysis and corrective actions needed; display of the present critical path for conventional facilities; and a narrative describing the status of technical work, significant project accomplishments, and potential problems.
