Design-Build** - all three facilities combined (one team) Design-Build** - each facility independently (three teams, or an alternative combination) ** may involve two phase selection procedures Design-Bid-Build ? - all three facilities combined (one A-E and one Construction Contractor) Design-Bid-Build ? - each facility independently (three A-Es or an alternative combination and three Construction Contractors or an alternative combination) ? may involve the use of existing VISN 23 BOAs with A-E(s) "Design" means defining the construction requirement (including the functional relationships and technical systems to be used, such as architectural, environmental, structural, electrical, mechanical, and fire protection), producing the technical specifications and drawings, and preparing the construction cost estimate. "Design-bid-build" means the traditional delivery method where design and construction are sequential and contracted for separately with two contracts and two contractors. "Design-build" means combining design and construction in a single contract with one contractor. "Plans and specifications" means drawings, specifications, and other data for and preliminary to the construction. "Two-phase design-build selection procedures" is a selection method in which a limited number of offerors (normally five or fewer) is selected during Phase One to submit detailed proposals for Phase Two. It is the Government's intent to identify contractors who have the capability to design and/or build at three VISN 23 facilities. VISN 23 is acquiring three new Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machines. One each is to be installed at the VAMC Minneapolis, MN, the VAMC Sioux Falls, SD, and VAMC Des Moines, IA. The MRI equipment at Minneapolis is intended to be placed in renovated space. The MRI equipment at both Sioux Falls and Des Moines will be placed in new additions, with renovations to accommodate tie-in to the existing buildings. The MRI units being purchased are manufactured by Phillips and it is the VA's intent to incorporate the patented Phillips "ambient experience". The delivery date for the equipment is still pending. The machines will be acquired by the VA National Acquisition Center (NAC), Hines, IL and the only relationship to this RFI will be the requirement to obtain the manufacture's specifications for proper site preparation. The NAICS Code is 541310 and/or 236220. All responsible and interested sources should notify the POC by letter, fax, or e-mail of their interest and capabilities.
