Description

The Office of Construction and Facilities Management (CFM) located in Washington, DC is conducting market research regarding the use of Bundling for VA101-13-R-0005; Project Number is 657-313, Clinic & Tenant Construction, Jefferson Barracks Division of the St Louis VA Medical Center in St Louis, Missouri. Please provide comments to me within fifteen (15) days from the posting date of this announcement. Contract bundling is defined as consolidating two or more procurement requirements for goods or services previously provided or performed under separate, smaller contracts into a solicitation of offers for a single contract that is unlikely to be suitable for award to a small business concern. Federal Acquisition Regulation states that market research may indicate that bundling is necessary and justified if an agency or the Government would derive measurably substantial benefits. Measurably substantial benefits may include, individually or in any combination or aggregate, cost savings or price reduction, quality improvements that will save time or improve or enhance performance or efficiency, reduction in acquisition cycle times, better terms and conditions, and any other benefits. Both the clinic and the tenant facilities are critical to the success of the ongoing VA mission and delays to acquisition would be detrimental to both the overall project phasing (including future acquisition) and the ongoing missions being carried out on the Jefferson Barracks campus. Specifically, delays to acquisition and construction of the new clinic would adversely affect the delivery of healthcare to veterans while similar delay of the tenant facility would jeopardize the project phasing plan by delaying tenant moves from existing facilities that must be demolished to make way for other construction. The clinic project includes approximately 112,900 gross square of new construction in the foot print of two existing buildings (buildings 50 and 64, totaling approximately 113,600 gross square feet) to be demolished. The existing building 50 occupants will relocate to temporary trailers on the northwest end of the campus for the duration of construction (which only has limited parking). The project will require about 25,400 cubic yards of fill for which there are no borrow pits onsite to obtain or stockpile such material. It will also include completion of the campus utility loops that specifically serve the new clinic. The estimated magnitude for this project is between $50 and $100 million. The tenant project will construct an approximately 86,000 gross square foot building in an area of the campus that is mostly parking lot. When complete, it will provide space for a number of tenant organizations that will vacate existing buildings which, will either be renovated for occupancy by other tenants so they can vacate their buildings, or will be demolished by subsequent phases. The tenant construction will involve excavation and removal of approximately 10,000 cubic yards of soil for which there are no borrow pits onsite to stockpile this material. The estimated magnitude for this project is between $20 and $50 million. Aspects of the construction associated with the clinic and tenant buildings that could be separated without adverse impact to safety, schedule, or medical center operations have been broken out as separate contract packages to be advertised in later phases in an attempt to mitigate the adverse impact to opportunities for small business. These separate contract packages are likely to generate interest from more than one small business and market research may demonstrate them suitable for small business set asides. These projects, each with an estimated magnitude of between $1 and $2 million, include: (1) Demo of buildings 70, 70A, 71, 82 and site work, (2) Reconfiguration of south campus parking, (3) Campus Perimeter Fence, and (4) Path of Honor site work. Within fifteen (15) days of the posting date of this announcement, please provide comments to noella.bond@va.gov.
