Description

Phase 2B Cemetery Improvements Project at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery located in San Antonio, Texas. In order to complete the Phase 2 construction, VA has an urgent need for A/E to execute construction period services (CPS). The basic services of the Contractor shall consist of solicitation phase consultation, construction document interpretation, review and analysis if construction contractor cost proposals, review and approval of shop drawings and submittals, sites visits and inspections, record drawings, and post-construction services. VA requires the services of a qualified small business A/E firm willing to assume the role of A/E of Record on the set of construction documents ready to be used for construction, has experience with the design and construction of National Cemeteries, has experience with historic renovation/restoration type projects, has experience with the design and construction of bridges/overpasses constructed to TXDOT standards, has an office located within a 50-mile radius of the project site, has the financial and staff resources readily available to begin work within 30-days or less, can provide the services at a fair and reasonable fee. This contract would be sole source to Rialto Studio, the original A/E of Record, to complete tasks as a logical follow-on to original work performed by Rialto Studio under their expired contract. In the interest of economy and efficiency, the continuation with the same Contractor is a justifiable need. There is inadequate time to acquire the services through the use of competitive procedures. This is a firm fixed price contract with a performance period of 365 calendar days after completion of construction. The construction contract for Phase 2 is ready to award. This requirement must be fulfilled urgently to avoid negatively impacting the project's schedule and cost. VA remains under intense public and Congressional scrutiny with regards cost and schedule of design and construction of facilities. Keeping this project moving forward in a timely manner is beneficial to public, Veteran community, and the Cemetery. Rialto Studio is uniquely positioned to expeditiously move forward with providing A/E of Record services with the award of the construction contract. Having been the A/E of Record for the preparation of the construction documents, Rialto is very familiar with the project site and the construction phasing requirements. The construction of this project will be very challenging due to the need to manage construction activities in an active cemetery with upwards of 15 committal services per day and all within the project limits of work. Additionally, Rialto has already developed working relationships and understandings with the federal and state agencies including the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and other agencies having jurisdiction. If there is any small business AE Firm that feel they can accommodate the VA's need, as stated above, please contact Mary Case, Contracting Officer at the Construction & Facilities Management (CFM) National Office at 202-632-5025 or email mary.case2@va.gov no later than May 4, 2016 at 1:30pm EST.
