Renovation of a military facility in Seattle, Washington. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a military facility.

The VA Puget Sound Health Care System currently has a requirement for a study to right-size the scope of follow on Air Handler projects. The intent of the study is to obtain detailed information of the existing AHUs and their associated equipment, seek solutions to mitigate the risks during design and construction, and allow the Medical Center to address critical HVAC improvements, enhancing the efficiency, reliability, and resiliency of the facility thru the replacement of AHUs at Seattle VAMC in order to better serve our Veterans. The Magnitude of the project is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. This acquisition is a Total Set-Aside for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) in accordance with VAAR 852.219-73 with NAICS Code 541330. Any subsequent award will require the firm to be registered in System for Award Management (SAM) at www.sam.gov and the U.S. Small Business Administration at https://dsbs.sba.gov/search/dsp_dsbs.cfm.
