- Description
- Request for Information OFFICE OF CAPITAL ASSET MANAGEMENT SERVICE (OCAMS) PROGRAMMATIC MANAGEMENT SUPPORT SERVICES FOR CAPITAL PROJECT ACTIVATION COSTS I. Introduction: The sources sought notice is for information and planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation on the part of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The VA is currently conducting market research to locate qualified, experienced, and interested potential sources. Responses will not be considered as proposals, nor will any award be incurred by interested parties in responding to the sources sought announcement. NAICS 541611 (size standard $16.5 million) applies. The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is seeking interested sources (contractors) for a near-future solicitation and procurement for the Office of Asset Enterprise Management (OAEM) Office of Capital Asset Management Service (OCAMS) to provide support services for estimating Capital Project Activation Costs. At this time, no solicitation exists. Therefore, DO NOT REQUEST A COPY OF THE SOLICITATION. II. Background Information: The Strategic Capital Investment Planning (SCIP) process is the basis for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) current and out-year capital budget requests. The SCIP process includes development of 10-Year action plans and budget year business cases to close performance gaps (space, utilization, facility condition, access, etc.) and enhance healthcare and delivery of services and benefits to the nation s Veterans. To better estimate all-in project costs (e.g., furniture, equipment, information technology, staffing. etc.) and to provide documentation for budgetary requests required for project activation funding, a model for calculating these costs in advance of and during construction is necessary to plan and redistribute funding as project schedules change. The model will be based on the Space and Equipment Planning Software (SEPS). Each Construction project and Major Lease are required to submit a SEPS plan during the SCIP submission. That SEPS plan will become the baseline for Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment (FF&E) funding. III. Scope of Work: The contractor shall be responsible for the following: Contractor shall provide an initial update to the previous estimates and historical activation funding executed per project. Additionally, the contractor shall provide a mid-year update to assist VHA in providing the most accurate data to VHA finance for funding requests; validation that the initial update is still accurate based on the midyear project changes. Initial and mid-year update estimates will include recurring and non-recurring, for all types and sizes of VHA capital projects, and all inputs, and outputs previously included in the estimates, and as needed, changes the contractor may recommend improving the accuracy of the estimates. The estimates should provide all required documentation to respond to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and Congressional requests for information regarding activation costs. Contractor shall provide ongoing support to develop reports, update project changes to the estimate, and/or presentations as needed by project, Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) or VHA for the term of this contract. The contractor shall also provide on-going support to Office of Capital Asset Management (OCAMS) and VISNs in maintain and update the database data/information to support an effective activation funding process, which will help ensure the tool is being evaluated with current data and information. II. Submittal Information: Responses are due no later than 4:00 PM EST Wednesday, May 20, 2020. Responses shall be limited to 10 pages, 12-point font minimum. The Government will not review any data or attachments in excess to the 10 pages. Please be advised that all submissions become Government property and will not be returned.
