Bidders may share the two published single-line drawing PDFs with prospective subcontractors for quotation preparation, and the testing scope must include TN-LBSW; which drawing set controls where they differ still needs confirmation. The opportunity involves updated PDF/CAD drawings and study deliverables, and bidders need to confirm availability and permitted-use restrictions for native CAD files, the prior triennial test report with equipment lists/results, and existing coordination/arc-flash study/model files (SKM, ETAP, or EasyPower), since VA has not confirmed which existing source files it will furnish. For the Saturday outage, VA personnel will attend, VA electricians will be assigned to each shift, and the contractor must supply all testing equipment; the description asks who is responsible for medium-voltage switching, isolation, lockout/tagout, and restoration. Scope includes a complete list of facilities and associated equipment added since 2017 mapped to drawings, including the new parking garage, and the SOW’s Day 12 plus TBD entry is not exhaustive. Reno-specific credentialing and background-check requirements apply under FAR 52.204-9 and VAAR 852.204-70/852.204-72, with details still needed on risk designation, forms, sponsor/contact, processing lead time, and interim or escorted access; contractors must check in with police at the start of each shift for badges.

This is a total SDVOSB set-aside under NAICS 238210; offerors must be SBA-certified SDVOSBs and comply with the 75% special trade construction subcontracting limitation, including submitting a signed VAAR 852.219-75 certificate. Work at the Ioannis A. Lougaris VAMC (Reno) includes electrical testing, coordination study/arc-flash analysis and professionally engraved label updates, protective relay testing, and testing/quantities covering MV switches, MV/LV transformers, breakers, and feeder cables; deliverables must follow ANSI/NETA MTS and VHA Directive 1028, with the study/analysis sealed by a PE (Nevada licensure not required). Testing is off-hours (6 PM–6 AM, weekends, federal holidays), photography is during normal hours, and final outage windows are coordinated with the COR two weeks in advance; the vendor is responsible for medium-voltage (25 kV) switching under VA electrical supervisor authority, while VA electricians may assist at 600 V and below. An optional site visit is planned with date/time to be issued by amendment; anticipated award is within 2–3 weeks after evaluations, NTP is intended ASAP, coordination should start within one week of NTP, and crews need not be held before NTP.

The VA Sierra Nevada Health Care System in Reno, NV is planning a Triennial Circuit Breaker and Feeder Testing requirement per ANSI/NETA MTS, covering labor, materials, equipment, supervision, and testing for medium-voltage oil-cooled switches, liquid-filled and air-cooled transformers, low/medium-voltage circuit breakers 225A 3-pole and above, and feeder cables. The scope includes VLF testing of MV cables, torqueing/meggering, breaker functional testing/exercising, standard and infrared photography, MV vault site visits, an overcurrent protective device coordination study with updated single-line diagrams, and arc flash hazard analysis with new campus labels. Testing must be performed off-hours (6 PM–6 AM and weekends), photography during normal hours, and final report, photos, PDF/CAD studies, and deficiency/full MV cable replacement cost estimates are due within 7 days after completion. Period of performance is 60–90 days after notice to proceed, and interested vendors should provide capability information including business size/socio-economic status, SAM UEI, relevant NETA/VLF/225A+ breaker/IR/coordination/arc flash experience, teaming and subcontractor plans, and experience managing projects between $250,000 and $750,000. This is a planning-only sources-sought effort; no solicitation is currently available, NAICS 238210 with a $19M small business size standard applies, and responses will help the Government decide procurement strategy and any small business set-aside.
