Description

Source Sought Notice The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Seeks Expressions of Interest for a Construction Design-Build Contract for Phase Three (3) of the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona. Project Description VA has a requirement to develop approximately 26,400 gravesites as Phase 3 of the National Cemetery. The Design-Build/Contractor (D/B) shall provide all labor, material, supervision, equipment, travel and performance of work in accordance with this Request for Proposal (RFP) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the awarded contract. All Architect/Engineer (A/E) Services required in this RFP shall be performed by licensed Architects and Engineers registered in the State/Territory/Other of this project. The purpose of this project is to enable an existing national cemetery to continue to provide burial services for eligible veterans in central Arizona. This proposed development will provide an additional 10 years of continued burial service to an estimated veteran population of approximately 314,100 who has been served by the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona since it opened in 1979. NCA is projecting July 2022 for gravesite depletion for all burial options. This project will provide an additional 10-year gravesite inventory and extend full cemetery burial capacity until FY 2033. In accordance with the master plan for the entire 225-acre site, this project will develop approximately 25 acres of the remaining 104 undeveloped acres remaining at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona. This project will comprise the third construction phase of cemetery development, and will primarily include the construction of additional burial facilities intended to provide 10 years of service on existing, undeveloped land. The remainder of the site will be developed in future 10-year phased projects. Since this is an existing cemetery, only those facilities and infrastructure elements necessary to support the added maintenance, operations, and burial capacity for approximately 10 years will comprise this phase of construction. Identified as Phase 2 in the 2016 Master Plan for the 104-acre expansion, this investment will develop approximately 25 acres of undeveloped land to provide approximately 26,400 gravesites, including both casket and cremation sites in new burial sections. Also included in this project is the construction of an Honor Guard Building, an expansion/renovation of the existing Administration Building, improvements to the Maintenance Area, and security enhancements at the cemetery entrance. This project will also include an evaluation of the existing structures and accomplish and retrofit/incorporate Guiding Principles for High Performance and Sustainable Buildings and Renewable Energy Initiatives as required. Additionally, any FCA condition D or F corrections will be incorporated onto this project as required. The approximate project duration will be 1,274 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. The estimated magnitude for this project is between $20,000,000 and $50,000,000. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) with the size standard of $36.5 Million. CFM intends to conduct this acquisition in accordance with Subpart 36.3, Two-Phase Design-Build Selection Procedures.
