Description

THIS ANNOUCEMENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. THE GOVERNMENT WILL NOT PAY NOR REIMBURSE ANY COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH RESPONDING TO THIS REQUEST. THE GOVERNMENT IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO AWARD A CONTRACT AS A RESULT OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. This procurement is restricted to Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) firms. This requirement is being procured in accordance with the Brooks Act as implemented in FAR Subpart 36.6. Applicable NAICS code is 541310 and small business size standard of $7 Million. This is a 100% Veteran-Owned Small Business Set Aside. The anticipated award date of the proposed A/E Contract is on or before September 30, 2013. Potential Contractors must be registered in SAM (www.sam.gov) and visible/certified in Vet Biz (www.vetbiz.gov) at time of submission of their qualifications in order to be considered for an award. As a prospective offeror or bidder for this Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) set aside, you are verifying that your company meets the status requirements of a VOSB concern as established by 38 CFR Part 74. The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking a qualified Architect-Engineering (AE) firm to provide a field study that will identify the dead legs on the domestic water distribution lines at the New York Harbor Healthcare System- Brooklyn Campus. Dead legs are commonly described as piping with low or infrequent flow in the domestic water system. It is essential to ensure the domestic hot water is always circulating to minimize dead legs in pipe systems. The study will also produce a full set of as-built plumbing drawings depicting the existing layout of the entire domestic water systems of Buildings 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 14, 15, 16 and 21 at the New York Harbor Healthcare System- Brooklyn Campus. These as-built drawings are necessary since the VA's current record drawings have inaccuracies, omissions, etc. that render them inadequate as a reliable source for planning plumbing outages, designing plumbing modifications, etc. This study will require detailed field site work to physically identify all the dead legs. The work will include opening ceiling tiles and access panels so that Bidder can inspect and measure the distribution pipes to determine which lines fall within the dead leg definition as defined. VA defines a dead leg as a length of pipe with one end open to the system and the other end terminating at a cap, closed valve or fitting, or a plumbing fixture. The following is a breakdown of the types of dead legs: 1.Pipe lengths greater than 10 feet terminating at a cap. 2.Pipe lengths greater than 10 feet terminating at a closed valve. 3.Pipe lengths greater than 10 feet terminating at a fitting. 4.Pipe lengths greater than 10 feet terminating at an infrequently used plumbing fixture. An infrequently used plumbing fixture is a fixture where the hot water line or cold water line is run less than once each day. 5.Pipe lengths greater than 25 feet terminating at a frequently used plumbing fixture. A frequently used plumbing fixture is a fixture where both the hot water line and cold water line are run at least once each day. This study will also provide the VA a detailed set of as-built drawings in AutoCAD 10 reflecting the entire existing domestic water piping system of various Brooklyn campus buildings as defined. Phasing is high priority. All work shall conform to VA criteria & regulation. Design shall comply with VA HVAC Design Manual, NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, NFPA Healthcare Facilities Code, National Electric Code (NEC), VA Fire Protection Design Manual. All contractor employees and subcontractors under this contract or order are required to complete the VA's online security awareness training course and the privacy awareness training course annually. The privacy awareness training requirement may be fulfilled under additional privacy awareness training options. Contractors must provide signed certifications of completion to the COR during each year of the contract. This requirement is in addition to any other training that may be required of the Contractor and subcontractor(s). Completion Time for Study: 240 Calendar Days Location: Brooklyn Campus, VA New York Harbor Healthcare System, 800 Poly Place, Brooklyn, NY 11209-7104. SELECTION CRITERIA The Department of Veterans Affairs will evaluate each potential contractor in terms of its: (1)Professional qualifications necessary for satisfactory performance of required services; (2)Specialized experience and technical competence in the type of work required, including, where appropriate, experience in energy conservation, pollution prevention, waste reduction, and the use of recovered materials; (3)Capacity to accomplish the work in the required time; (4)Past Performance on contracts with Government agencies and private industry in terms of cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules; (5)Location in the general geographical area of the project and knowledge of the locality of the project; provided that application of this criterion leaves an appropriate number of qualified firms, given the nature and size of the project; and (6)Acceptability under other appropriate evaluation criteria.
