INTRODUCTION:
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Veterans Health Administration (VHA), Program Contracting Activity Central (PCAC) anticipates soliciting proposals and subsequently awarding a single Firm-Fixed-Price contract for the design-build (DB) project #695-24-101 Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center (VAMC) located in Milwaukee, WI, located at 5000 W National Ave.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The proposed project will be a competitive, firm-fixed-price contract utilizing the design-build
approach. The anticipated solicitation will be issued as a Request for Proposal (RFP) in
accordance with FAR Parts 36 and 15, considering Technical and Price Factors. This project requires
comprehensive design-build services for the Construct Chiller Plant project(695-24-101) at the Clement J.
Zablocki VAMC in Milwaukee, WI. Design requirements include full architectural and engineering
services, site visits, field investigations, studies, user interviews, and preparation of complete drawings,
specifications, and cost estimates for all disciplines necessary to develop a fully functional new Chiller
Plant (Building 153). The Design- Build contractor shall submit 35%, 65%, 95%, and 100% design
packages in accordance with VA Design Guides, VA Master Specifications, applicable codes, and VA
energy conservation requirements. Construction services include all labor, materials, tools, equipment,
supervision, and administration needed to build the new approximately 11,500 SF Chiller Plant.
Construction includes demolition of Building 109; relocation or protection of impacted utilities;
installation of upgraded chilled-water capacity to serve the Main Hospital (Building 111); construction of
a second-floor walkway connection to the existing Chiller Plant (Building 113); and providing full
generator backup. This project replaces the existing 3,150-ton chiller plant, which is undersized,
inefficient, and nearing the end of its 25 30-year service life. Increased cooling demand
associated with planned expansions in clinical, imaging, OR, and pathology services further
necessitates this modernization.

ADMINISTRATIVE:
The anticipated solicitation will be issued as an RFP in accordance with FAR Part 36.3 Two Phase Design Build Selection Procedures and FAR Part 15 Contracting by Negotiation. The solicitation will be advertised as Unrestricted. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 236220 with a size standard of $45 million. The solicitation is anticipated to be issued in January February 2026. The period of performance is approximately 730 calendar days from the issuance of the Notice to Proceed. In accordance with VAAR 836.204, the magnitude of construction is between $50,000,000.00 and $100,000,000.00. This notice is not a request for competitive offers. All questions must be submitted in writing to the issuing office via email to the CS and CO: Shardae.Webb@va.gov and William.Henkel@VA.gov . Telephone calls will not be accepted.
