J059--Triennial Electical Panel Maintenance and Survey

The Department of Veterans Affairs is soliciting quotes for triennial electrical panel maintenance and survey services at the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center in Chicago. This requirement involves panel tracing, labeling, infrared scanning, and triennial testing across multiple facility buildings to ensure infrastructure compliance and safety. The work addresses specific deficiencies identified in preliminary surveys, including missing panel directories, unlabeled active breakers, and the need for physical hardware fillers. The procurement is supported by 15 attachments, including building-specific breaker surveys and an equipment inventory for the Taylor, Ogden, Damen, and Bed Tower buildings. The contract includes a base year and two option years, with a schedule provided for each performance period. Responses are due by June 22, 2026, at 7:00 AM EDT. Amendment 0001 extended the submission deadline, and the government is preparing responses to vendor questions. Performance is governed by the Service Contract Act, with wage rates defined for the Chicago locality. Technical documentation includes building-specific surveys and inventories that identify deficiencies like unlabeled breakers and missing directories. Work is based on building-specific breaker surveys from early 2025 that identify unlabeled breakers, missing directories, and the need for hardware fillers.
