Firms responding to this announcement must be registered and verified as a SDVOSB in the Vendor Information Pages (VIP) at https://www.vip.vetbiz.gov by the response date of this announcement. The NAICS Code for this acquisition is 541330 and the applicable small business size standard is $14.0 million. The estimated construction range is $100,000.00 to $200,000.00. The G.V. (Sonny) VA Health Care System is seeking Engineering services to provide a full set of bid documents (Scope of Work, Drawings, Specifications, and Cost Estimate) for Project No. 586-12-202, Renovate Surgical Intensive Care Unit. REQUIREMENTS FOR A/E SERVICES FOR PROJECT 586-12-202 CONDUCT SITE STUDY OF UNDERGROUND WATER & SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE GENERAL SCOPE: The primary focus of the work is to provide an in-depth study of the facility ™s underground water and sewer utilities to provide complete investigation and upgrade recommendations for these site utilities at the G.V. (Sonny) Montgomery VA Medical Center campus, Jackson, MS. The study will include, but not limited to, information gathering, site investigation, and system design. The evaluation shall note any deficiencies within the systems and provide recommendations for corrections. The existing water service includes an 8 ť main loop around the facility site with several taps to feed into various the buildings. The water loop also feeds the site fire protection system (including both fire hydrants and building fire protection systems, through post indicator valves (PIV) and fire pumps). The existing loop is connected to the facility ™s well and elevated tank system, as well as two city water main feeds (valves are currently closed to city mains, connection is for emergency backup only). [Water loop is ~4600 ™ in length, with approximately 5 building feeds, 6 PIV fire connections (including 2 fire pump feeds), and 10 fire hydrants] The facility sewer system is divided into separate sanitary and storm sewer systems. The sanitary sewer ranges in size from 8 ť to 12 ť, serves all the facility buildings, and connects to a single point of discharge from the site. There is approximately 4000 ™ of sanitary lines serving the site, connected thru approximately 27 manholes. The storm sewer system ranges from 6 ť to 36 ť and discharges from the buildings in multiple, decentralized feeds into various collection and run-off locations. There is approximately 8000 ™ of storm sewer serving the site, connected thru approximately 20 manholes. A.Conduct necessary site survey to identify extents and locations of the underground water and sewer systems. In addition, perform required survey to identify all utilities, roads, sidewalks, curbs, and other features that would affect the design of replacement system components or system repair services. B.Perform sewer pipe camera inspection of all exterior storm and sanitary mains. Confirm location of manholes, clean-outs, etc. Provide a complete report, including a video record, which identifies all damaged sections or potential problems within the system. C.Provide plans and specifications for work required to repair (either by sleeving or replacement) of items identified by the above sewer system inspection. D.Provide plans and specifications for design of a replacement domestic water distribution loop. New system to include, but is not limited to, new backflow preventers and meters at connections to City of Jackson mains, connections to all existing building feeds/fire service feeds, and connection to the existing well and elevated tank system. New distribution system to be constructed with C900 piping and mechanical joint fittings (or an alternative piping system, upon VA approval). Evaluate existing demands and potential future needs (of up to 250,000 square feet of building addition) to properly size the new loop. E.All repair or replacement design shall include all road patching, sidewalk/curb/gutter replacement, and road/parking striping, as required by the installation work. F.Distribution loop design shall include multiple isolation valves, throughout the loop, to allow for sections of loop to be isolated for repairs, while minimizing the overall system disruption. G.Distribution loop design shall be modular in nature to allow for installation of sections in multiple, smaller phases, over time as allowed by future funding availability.
