Statement of Work Replace Electrical Panels in the Patriot Store VA Montana Project 436-24-101 GENERAL A site walk-through is highly recommended to be performed prior to submitting a proposal. Offerors shall not visit the site without prior approval from the Contracting Officer and an escort from the Engineering Department. The contractor shall ensure to follow VA Master Specifications as found in the website link provided. Additionally, the Contractor is required to meet all applicable laws and regulation not explicitly stated in this document as considered best practice for the State of Montana. As-built drawings shall be conducted and produced in compliance with VA Publications including Master Construction Specifications, Electrical Design Manual, and automated drawing standards (http://www.cfm.va.gov/TIL). Compliance with public law regarding energy utilization is required. If two or more requirements conflict, notify the Contracting Officer immediately and the more stringent requirement shall apply. Should a conflict exist between VA requirements and VA adopted nationally recognized codes and standards, the conflict shall be brought to the attention of the VA. The resolution of the conflict shall be made by the authority having jurisdiction for the VA to ensure a consistency system-wide. PERIOD OF PERFORMACE The period of performance is 90 days from issuance of the notice to proceed. AS-BUILT DRAWINGS The contractor shall maintain, As-built construction drawings on-site. The contractor shall visually identify any red line changes in person with the VAMC Ft Harrison COR. Within 10 days from construction completion, the contractor shall furnish As-built Constructed Record drawings in the latest AutoCAD version. Autodesk Revit © drawings shall NOT BE submitted. All drawings shall comply with VA s PG-18-4 Standard Details and CAD Standards. SCOPE OF WORK The VA Montana Healthcare System requires the services of a qualified Electrical engineering firm and Registered Electrical contractor in the State of Montana to provide services to build out an electrical room in the Canteen. The project consists of the replacement two (2) existing electrical panels supporting the patriot store, kitchen, and other locations as well as one bid alternate (Appendix D, Panel 106-A Replacement). The feeder for Panel 106-A comes directly from the switch gear. Confirmation of circuits and a balanced load per this Scope of Work. This will include the installation of a separate switched light in the electrical room, and the relocation/ replacement of a camera and a fire sprinkler head. Contractor shall confirm existing conditions for construction. The new electrical panels will need to support a minimum of 42 new circuit breakers each as determined by the electrical engineer. Panels, circuit breakers and other parts will be offered to the facility maintenance staff prior to disposal. The existing panels have out of date panel schedules and the new schedules should reflect the current use. The contractor will be responsible for tracing the current usage and what each breaker is servicing. The Electrical Engineer will evaluate Arch Flash study and provide for considerations for this application and submit remediation requirements as needed. See Appendix F for the Bullet Point Scope of Work document. Information provided by the Electrical Engineer shall require verification by the contractor who receives a contract for this project. Contractor shall completely prepare the site for building operations, including demolition, infection control and replacement of existing electrical panels, wiring, and associated equipment, to include all labor and materials required to perform the work for this project as required. The project is an electrical modernization project. Contractor to determine the best engineering solution (Value Engineering) to install the new panels for Ft Harrison approval. The contractor shall provide full coordination drawings (existing and new as-built constructed drawings) as part of this project. CURRENT CONDITIONS The Canteen panels are currently served from building 154, room 144 (DEE panel) at the VA hospital, Ft. Harrison. There is a 2500A 208Y/120-volt distribution board located on the room, the main distribution board is in fair condition. The main distribution board feeds equipment that ranges in age from original construction in 1961 to equipment that has been installed within the past few years. This information must be confirmed by the Contractor. Although some of the electrical distribution is nearing the end of its useful life, no additional electrical distribution equipment replacement is anticipated because of this project. The new meter shall be provided by the contractor, the current metering system the Square D Power logic, which is monitored and recorded by the facility. The emergency power for Building 154 is provided by a 500-kW generator that was installed in 2000.

The nonmanufacturer rule and the limitations on subcontracting apply to all SDVOSB and VOSB set asides and sole source contracts. (2) Service-disabled Veteran means a Veteran, as defined in 38 U.S.C. 101(2), with a disability that is service-connected, as defined in 38 U.S.C. 101(16). (b) General. (1) Offers are solicited only from eligible service-disabled Veteran-owned small business concerns. Only VIP-listed service-disabled Veteran-owned small business concerns (SDVOSBs) may submit offers in response to this solicitation. Offers received from concerns that are not VIP-listed service-disabled Veteran-owned small business concerns shall not be considered. (2) Any award resulting from this solicitation shall be made to a VIP-listed service-disabled Veteran-owned small business concern that meets the size standard for the applicable NAICS code. (c) Representation. By submitting an offer, the prospective contractor represents that it is an eligible SDVOSB as defined in this clause, 38 CFR part 74, and VAAR subpart 819.70. Pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 8127(e), only VIP-listed SDVOSBs are considered eligible. Therefore, any reference in 13 CFR part 121 and 125 to a service-disabled Veteran-owned small business concern (SDVO SBC), is to be construed to apply to a VA verified and VIP-listed SDVOSB and only such concern(s) qualify as similarly situated. The offeror must also be eligible at the time of award. (d) Agreement. When awarded a contract (see FAR 2.101, Definitions), including orders under multiple-award contracts, or a subcontract, an SDVOSB agrees that in the performance of the contract, the SDVOSB shall comply with requirements in VAAR subpart 819.70 and SBA regulations on small business size and government contracting programs at 13 CFR part 121 and 125, including the nonmanufacturer rule and limitations on subcontracting requirements in 13 CFR part 121.406 and 125.6, provided that for purposes of the limitations on subcontracting, only VIP-listed SDVOSBs shall be considered eligible and/or similarly situated (i.e., a firm that has the same small business program status as the prime contractor). An independent contractor shall be considered a subcontractor. An otherwise eligible firm further agrees to the following: (1) Services. In the case of a contract for services (except construction), it will not pay more than 50% of the amount paid by the government to it to firms that are not VIP-listed SDVOSBs.

(3) General construction. In the case of a contract for general construction, it will not pay more than 85% of the amount paid by the government to it to firms that are not VIP-listed SDVOSBs. (4) Special trade contractors. In the case of a contract for special trade contractors, it will not pay more than 75% of the amount paid by the government to it to firms that are not VIP-listed SDVOSBs. (5) Subcontracting. Any work that a VIP-listed SDVOSB subcontractor further subcontracts will count towards the percent of subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. For supply or construction contracts, cost of materials is excluded and not considered to be subcontracted. For mixed contracts and additional limitations, refer to 13 CFR 125.6. (e) Joint ventures. A joint venture may be considered an SDVOSB if the joint venture is listed in VIP and complies with the requirements in 13 CFR 125.18(b), provided that any reference therein to service-disabled Veteran-owned small business concern or SDVO SBC, is to be construed to mean a VIP-listed SDVOSB. A joint venture agrees that, in the performance of the contract, the applicable percentage specified in paragraph (d) of this clause will be performed by the aggregate of the joint venture participants. (f) Precedence. For any inconsistencies between the requirements of the SBA program for service-disabled Veteran-owned small business concerns and the VA Veterans First Contract Program, as defined in VAAR subpart 819.70 and this clause, the VA Veterans First Contracting Program requirements have precedence.
