Construction and commissioning will be in accordance with the A/E provided final drawing set and associated specifications. The project is widely spread throughout the hospital, touching several different departments and service areas. A new server room is to be built on the roof, between the north wing of building 5 and the newly built lab. This project will have limited on-site storage for material so off-site storage of material should be planned for. This project has multiple phases for structural/civil work which are critical at the very beginning of the project and will require coordination with the COR. The majority of the work will likely need to be done on "off" hours and weekends. ADMINISTRATIVE: The solicitation will be issued as a Request For Proposal (RFP} conducted in accordance with FAR Parts 15, 19, and 36 and will be evaluated in accordance with the procedures listed in the solicitation. The solicitation is advertised as a total Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Set-Aside. Offers received from other than SDVOSB concerns will not be considered. The applicable NAICS code is 236220 with a size standard of $39.5 million. The period of performance is approximately 450 calendar days from the issuance of the Notice to Proceed. The Magnitude of Construction is expected to be between $20,000,000.00 and $50,000,000.00 (Note that the VMR magnitude of construction is closer to the lower end of this range).

TECHNICAL QUESTIONS: Questions of a technical nature must be provided in writing and shall be submitted by the prospective offerors to Jason Schultz. Questions shall be submitted only via e-mail to: jason.schultz@va.gov. The subject line must read: Minneapolis EHRM Infrastructure Upgrades - Technical Questions. Oral questions of a technical nature are not acceptable due to the possibility of misunderstanding or misinterpretation. THE CUT-OFF DATE AND TIME FOR RECEIPT OF QUESTIONS IS June 14, 2022 at 4:00 PM ET. The VA recognizes that this is a large project and there may be technical questions submitted after deadline, but the VA does not guarantee that late questions will be answered. Please submit questions as soon as possible, to ensure the most accurate answers from the VA. **If possible, the prime GCs should try to submit all the questions from their team. This will prevent unnecessary duplicate questions. 2.5 PRE-PROPOSAL SITE VISIT: See FAR 52.236-7 for information regarding the site visit. Please RSVP to Jason.schultz@va.gov by June 3, 2022, with the names of who is attending from your firm. This will help the VA better coordinate for the site visit, as the room capacity is limited.

If the Contractor chooses not to attend the Pre-Proposal Site Visit, the Contractor may submit their proposal at their own risk. 2.6 AMENDMENTS: Amendments to this solicitation will be posted at https://sam.gov/.
