The VA's Network Contracting Office 4 is seeking a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned small business to replace the flat EPDM roofs on Building 57 at the Coatesville VA Medical Center in Pennsylvania. An addendum adds replacing the stair-tower roofs and two lower roofs and restoring the roof's terra cotta balustrade (repointing, patching, mineral paint). It is a sealed-bid job with 90 days to finish after Notice to Proceed, and the VA puts its size at $100,000 to $250,000.
Watch out for
- Conflicting bid due dates. The SAM notice and a form block say 20 Oct 2026, but amendment 0002 item 4 says bids are due 22 Oct 2026, so confirm with the contract specialist before bidding.
Bids will be due on 22 October 2026 at 10:00AM EST
- Scope grew after the original notice. The addendum adds stair-tower and lower roofs plus full balustrade masonry restoration beyond the original EPDM roof work, which changes your price.
This Addendum work is in addition to the original Statement of Work for the Replace Flat Roof Building 57 project.
- Original SOW and drawings not provided. The addendum says it adds to the original Statement of Work and refers to drawings and specifications, none of which are in the files.
General Requirements – same as in original SOW.
- Patient safety and entrance shutdown. Demolition must be coordinated so debris does not fall near patients, which can mean a building entrance shutdown.
This must be coordinated with the COR to ensure the safety of the patients
- Crane required. A crane is needed to move debris and materials on and off the roof, adding cost and scheduling.
A crane will be required to lift debris and materials to and from the roof.
- Site must never be left unmanned. The worksite may never be left unmanned, which affects staffing; work hours are Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM.
The worksite may not be left unmanned at any time.
- Tight 90-day schedule. The job includes roofing, deck repair and masonry restoration within 90 days of Notice to Proceed, with weather risk.
The contractor will have 90 days from the Notice to Proceed to complete the project.
- Notice type label differs from documents. SAM calls this a Presolicitation, but the attachments are amendments to an IFB with a bid date, so check SAM for the current status.
