Background The Department of Veterans Affairs is issuing this solicitation for Project 586-401, which involves the construction of a Community Living Center (CLC) Residential Neighborhood at the GV Montgomery VAMC located in Jackson, MS. The project aims to enhance the facilities available for veterans, aligning with the agency's mission to provide high-quality care and support to veterans. This project is set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) and falls under the VA's Minor Construction program. Work Details The scope of work includes all tasks specified in the drawings and specifications, as well as the Statement of Work. Key tasks involve site demolition, including some demolition of the existing exterior of Building 7 (B7), and connecting to existing site utility infrastructure systems. The base bid encompasses all work required for the project, with multiple alternates that modify specific elements such as fencing materials, exterior finishes, landscaping features, and structural components. The alternates include changes like switching to a metal fence, using brick veneer instead of a rain screen system, removing exterior shade pergolas, eliminating screen systems at porches, and reducing landscaping features. Period of Performance The contractor must begin performance within 10 calendar days after receiving the award and complete it within 540 calendar days. Place of Performance GV Montgomery VAMC, 1500 East Woodrow Wilson Drive, Jackson, MS. Bidder Requirements Bidders must provide performance and payment bonds within 10 calendar days after award. They are required to have appropriate contractor licensing and meet any additional requirements specified in the solicitation documents. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent and/or closely related prior contract, as P.A Apogee Consulting Group was awarded contract 36C77624C0024 (value $1,605,463) for architect-engineer services for the “CLC Residential Neighborhood Design” at the G.V. Montgomery VA Medical Center in Jackson, MS. The prior work involved developing complete construction documents and providing construction period support (e.g., submittal review, RFIs, change support, inspections, punch-list and as-built documentation), which aligns with the current project’s construction of the same CLC residential neighborhood and associated site/utility tie-ins.
