Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Program Contracting Activity Central (PCAC) is seeking sources and intends to award a firm-fixed price design contract for Architect-Engineering (A-E) services for Project #558-324 “Expand Cancer Center Building 42” design project located at the Durham VA Medical Center (VAMC), 508 Fulton Dr., Durham NC, 27705. The A-E shall include site visits, field investigation, studies and user interviews to prepare drawings, specifications, and cost estimates for all facets of work and disciplines/trades to facilitate a construction project to expand Building 42. The building needs to have an additional two floors added to expand its capabilities for cancer treatment. The building was originally designed to be completed as a 4-story building. The concept design developed by the VA is to add a floor for chemical infusion (2nd floor) and an additional floor for exam rooms (3rd floor). Each floor is roughly 10,000 sq.ft. Further work is detailed in the Statement of Work and attachments.

The A-E Services contract anticipated to be awarded will be procured in accordance with the Selection of Architects and Engineers Statute [formerly known as the Brooks Architect Engineer Act], Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 36.6 “Architectural and Engineering Services,” VA Acquisition Regulation 836.6, and VA Acquisition Manual M836.6 Architect-Engineer Services. In accordance with FAR 36.209 “Construction Contracts with Architect-Engineer Firms,” no contract for the construction of a project shall be awarded to the firm that designed the project or its subsidiaries or affiliates, except with the approval of the head of the agency or authorized representative.
