This acquisition is conducted in accordance with FAR Part 36 & 15, Request for Proposal (RFP). Project No. 542-18-103, Provide all labor, materials, tools and equipment, and design-build services necessary for design and construction of a project described herein and other specific tasks as further defined by this announcement and subsequent request for proposal (RFP) for Project No. 542-18-103, Demolish Buildings 18, 19, 26, 27 & 28. The resultant contract of this procurement is to provide required design completion of the referenced project and perform construction of completed design work. Project shall be designed and completed in accordance with VA Criteria, EPA requirements, and VA Specifications developed for the project. The objective of this project is to demolish vacant Buildings Nos. 18, 19, 26, 27 and 28. All these buildings are of brick construction with wood-framed attics; built in 1930. Buildings 19, 26, 27, and 28 originally were living quarters for key hospital staff and have since been converted into offices. Building 18 was formerly the campus Hoptel (apartment units). There are currently environmental hazards in these buildings asbestos, lead paint and mold. Utilities serving the buildings are steam, domestic water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, electric, communications cables, fire alarm wiring, and abandoned natural gas. The only existing air conditioning in the buildings are window units and split systems. Heating is by steam radiators. Electric service is through pad mounted transformers located in front of Building 27 and behind Building 18. Active telecom and data pass through demo site. The offeror shall be prepared to conduct thorough site investigations to verify existing conditions, all dimensions (existing and proposed) and constructability. All of the buildings involved in this project are condemned, as such during the walk thru Contractors will be required to wear proper PPE, which includes mandatory N95 masks, due to hazardous asbestos and lead paint conditions in ALL buildings. The scope of this project is to hire a Design/Build team that will abate hazardous materials from the buildings in accordance with all environmental regulations, then to demolish Buildings 18, 19, 26, 27 and 28, removing them in their entirety, including the in-ground basements and foundations. The scope also includes demolition and removal of associated site features, including the sidewalks and steps leading up to the buildings, the macadam and gravel drive area behind Buildings 19, 26, 27 and 28 along with their associated garages and macadam pavement and backfill at each location.
