SOURCES SOUGHT: The VA Medical Center, Edith Norse Rogers Memorial Hospital, 200 Springs Road, Bedford, MA, has a requirement for a Firm Fixed Price contract to provide professional Architect/Engineer (A/E) Design Services to provide 518-14-107, Project Number 518-14-107. Services include: develop complete drawings, specifications, cost estimates, construction schedules, project phasing, investigations, site visits and construction period services associated with replacing doors and upgrading, replacing and reconnecting the Physical Access Control System (PACS) for buildings and connecting corridors throughout the VHA Bedford VAMC campus. Additionally, provide a complete and integrated security solution that provides a lockdown capability and addresses the fundamental security/infrastructure needs at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC), 200 Springs Road Bedford, MA. Currently buildings throughout the Bedford campus have doors, frames, and existing PACS in poor condition, some of which are beyond repair. These items have far exceeded their useful life expectancies. This project will replace damaged doors, frames and PACS deemed unsalvageable on the exterior of the buildings and at interior locations identified as high security locations. The project will upgrade the door hardware to the latest FIPS 201 compliant hardware on the approved GSA product list. By incorporating PACS, it will provide standardized security throughout the facility. Conduct as many preliminary project meetings and site survey investigations as necessary to develop the necessary elements for conceptual layout schemes with proposed alternatives consistent with the VA s project team goals and VA design guide requirements as prioritized during preliminary project meetings, field surveys and studies provided by VA Engineering and VA Police.
