Description of Program Objectives The purpose of this sources sought notice is to conduct market research to seek out interested vendors capable of fulfilling the requirement. The VA San Francisco Medical Center is seeking a qualified General Contractor to construct Project 662-23-105, Renovate Sterile Processing Service. The general scope of this requirement is to construct via extensive renovation a sterile processing department that complies to current design criteria including HVAC and water processing.

Execution will also require site prep and rental of a mobile processing trailer for the duration of the interior work. The exterior area of construction is located directly adjacent to Building 2 on the northwest face of the building. This location is primarily pedestrian access with minor deliveries. Work is primarily site, and utilities work for preparation of trailers.

The adjacent building area is primarily engineering and administrative space and as such, no significant restrictions on hours of work will be encountered. The interior area of construction is located on 3rd floor of building Building 200; effectively the west side of the building on the top floor. This area is directly adjacent to the Operating Room Suite which will remain operational.

As such, hours of work for any activities that generate even moderate levels of noise will be restricted to weekends, holidays, evenings, and nights (WHEN) hours. Noise, vibration, and dust control should be expected to be heavily managed with limitations strictly coordinated. The period of performance is approximately 670 calendar days after NTP. A draft copy of construction drawings are attached for reference. Please see Sources Sought Notice No. 36C26126R0019 and attachments for details
