The VA is seeking a 100 % Service‑Disabled Veteran‑Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) to provide comprehensive architect‑engineer design services for the renovation of Section A on the first floor of Building 1 at the Edward Hines Jr. VA Hospital in Hines, Illinois. The effort includes investigation of existing conditions, schematic through 100 % design deliverables, bid‑phase support, construction‑administration services, and close‑out documentation, all within a 449‑day performance period. The work must address complex hospital‑specific requirements such as pathology suite relocation, HVAC upgrades, vacuum‑tube system integration, and compliance with VA design guides, NFPA, ASHRAE 170, and other applicable codes. • Scope covers investigation, schematic, design‑development, construction‑documents, and bid‑package preparation (30 %, 60 %, 90 %, 100 % design milestones). • Mandatory multidisciplinary team (architect, M/E, electrical, plumbing, structural, interior design) with demonstrated experience in hospital renovations, especially pre‑1970 facilities and pathology labs. • Required deliverables include BIM models, renderings, detailed drawings, QA/QC packages, and as‑recorded drawings; the design fee is capped at 6 % of the projected construction cost ($10‑$20 M).
