No contract shall be awarded from this Presolicitation Notice. The US Dept. of Veterans Affairs intends to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for general construction services for the installation of mixing valves at the Northport VA Medical Center (VAMC), 79 Middleville Road, Northport, New York 11768. VA Directive 1061 and Northport VAMC Policy 042 requires that potable water point of use outlets be equipped with hot water mixing valves to control the temperature of hot water at the outlet, and thereby reduce the risk of scalding of employees, patients and visitors using hot water. This is an employee, patient, and visitor safety issue. Northport VAMC needs 900 mixing valves to be installed to meet the requirements of the directive. There is also a need for 225 water stop valves at locations where the existing valves do not operate properly. This procurement will satisfy the requirement. The capabilities needed are standard plumbing and mechanical hardware installation in a hospital and office setting. The requirement will be issued as a Service-disabled Veteran-Owned Small business (SDVOSB) set-aside in accordance with Public Law 38 U.S.C. 8127 and 8128 and VAAR 819.203-70. The North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) is 238220 and the Business Size is $16.5 million. The solicitation will be electronically posted at the beta.sam.gov Website on or about January 30, 2021, with a receipt of proposals at a minimum of thirty (30 days) calendar days. There is expected to be a pre-proposal site walk-through. Project completion 180 calendar days from notice to proceed. This project requires bonding and all responses/submissions to the solicitation shall be electronically. All prospective offers must be currently registered in www.sam.gov, www.dnb.com (Duns and Bradstreet) and be registered and verified as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) in www.vip.vetbiz.gov at the time of offer submission and before award of this procurement. -END-
