It is for information and planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a solicitation announcement nor a request for proposals or quotes and does not obligate the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to award a contract. Responses will not be considered as proposals nor will any award be made to any parties responding to the sources sought announcement. The purpose of this Sources Sought Announcement is to conduct market research to locate interested, experienced and potential qualified constructions firms capable of completing this project. Firm must identify their socio-economic status for NAICS Code 238210, Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors. The appropriate North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 238210 with the applicable business size of $19.0 million. This sources sought seeks information for SDVOSB, VOSB and 8a companies for NAICS code 238210 Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors. GENERAL SCOPE OF WORK: The Construction firm must provide construction services as delineated in the Plans and Specifications. The following deficiencies below were identified during the FY2019 Triennial Electrical Testing required under VHA Directive 1028. This project will correct deficiencies remaining after testing. New equipment shall have all the required working clearances. A. Building 1 Replacement of panels per plans and specifications. B. Building 3 Replace Panel P3 in Basement Mechanical Room 001.

Building 51A Replace switchboard and other issues per plans and specifications. G. Building 53 - Replace (3) obsolete transfer switches and transformer per plans and specifications. H. The majority of electrical equipment in this facility has sprinkler heads, related water pipes and drainpipes directly over or within the spray pattern of the electrical equipment as represented by the picture to the right. Install protective covers to prevent water from getting into the electrical equipment nor are physical protective devices installed to protect the actual sprinkler heads from physical damage. Both are required by National Electric Code section 110.26(F)(1)(a) through (F)(1)(d). Shields need to be installed in all areas where electrical components are within the spray pattern or have overhead water lines to prevent damage to prevent overhead water sources (sprinklers and water lines) from penetrating the enclosures. Such penetration could lead to a potentially catastrophic failure. Protective covers or cages need to be installed on unprotected sprinkler heads to prevent accidental activation with the same potential for catastrophic failure as mentioned above per plans and specifications..
