GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION: The West Haven Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) located at 950 Campbell Avenue, West Haven, Connecticut, has a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Contract requirement to provide professional A-E Design Services for the Roof Replacements and Solar Upgrades project also identified as Project Number 689-22-209. The project area and roofing systems for Project Number 689-22-209 are Building 1 and Building 2 at the West Haven VAMC. The professional A-E Design Services shall consist of site surveys, field data acquisition, as-built conditions verification to assure accurate development of design and bidding documents, space programming, schematic design, design development, construction documents, PHASING PLAN, specifications, cost estimates, construction period services, and site visits. The West Haven, Connecticut VAMC plans to repair and/or replace the roofs for the primary medical-related facilities, Building 1 and Building 2, that comprise of approximately eighty (80) roofs covering one hundred eighty thousand (180,000) square feet. Said roof replacements will be subject to a properly devised and approved phasing plan. The aforementioned roof replacements shall include the insulation of existing roof penetrations, roof drains, flashing, coping caps, and other designated roofing-related specifications. Testing, sampling, and inspecting for asbestos-containing materials (ACM) shall be performed on all roofs. To properly replace the roofs of these essential medical buildings, a preliminary study and thorough conditions report must be conducted for subsequent issuance. Additional requirements also include Roof Moisture Surveys and Nuclear Roof Moisture Testing. This project design will also upgrade the existing Photovoltaic (PV) Solar System currently utilized on Building 2 only. The current PV Solar System operates with a centralized inverter unit for a grouping of panel units; however, the restored PV Solar Panels shall be converted to function with a dedicated micro-inverter per solar panel. If a dedicated micro-inverter install is not available with existing PV Solar Panels, then new solar panels that will allow for this micro-inverter option may be considered. Nevertheless, every attempt will be made to reuse the existing PV Solar System. The existing PV Solar System shall be protected during removal and while in storage. Once the roofing portion of the project is completed, said PV Solar System shall be restored and verified to be fully operation upon completion of the reinstallation. C. MAGNITUDE OF CONSTRUCTION: The Magnitude of Construction, in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 36.204, is more than $10,000,000.00.
