Description

RECOVERY TAS::14 1041:: TAS RECOVERY GOGA 150682 Design-Build Photovoltaic Power/Roofing Project. This project will be funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA)(Pub.L. 111-5) and is subject to the reporting requirements of the Act. The project is located on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco (San Francisco County), California. The National Park Service (NPS), Denver Service Center, 12795 West Alameda Parkway, Denver, Colorado 80228 anticipates awarding a firm-fixed price Design-Build contract based upon a two-phase selection procedure. The project solicitation consists of two (2) phases. This Pre-solicitation Notice represents Phase One, Request for Qualifications (RFQ), of the Two-Phase Design-Build process. To be further evaluated, firms must submit information in response to the criteria established in this RFQ by the specified due date and time. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this requirement is 237130, and the U.S. Small Business Administration Size Standard is $33.5 Million. This project is reserved solely for 8a Certified firms. The Scope of Work includes design and construction of a photovoltaic (PV) - Diesel power generation system with battery power storage to provide power to the Alcatraz Island facilities. The system will be designed to optimize energy efficiency and minimize green house gas emissions while maintaining the energy performance requirements of the Island facilities. The project also includes the roof replacement at the Main Prison Building and the execution of the non-operational recommendations of the December 17, 2009 Alcatraz Island Energy Audit Report. Alcatraz Island is located approximately 1.4 miles from the San Francisco waterfront. The island is a National Historic Landmark that hosts 1.4 million visitors per year. Transportation of construction crews and materials to the island and to the construction sites will the responsibility of the Design-Build contractor. All transportation and construction activities must be coordinated and approved by the relevant authorities. All designs and installations are subject to review and approval by historic, cultural, operational, environmental, and other relevant authorities. The PV Arrays will be located on the roofs of two historic structures on the Island, the Main Prison Building and the New Industries Building. The Main Prison Building roof will require replacement in coordination with the installation of the PV arrays and supporting structures. The Main Prison Building PV System is to consist of a photovoltaic array capable of producing a minimum of 188 kilowatt (kW) DC under average conditions at Alcatraz Island. The New Industries Building PV System is to consist of a photovoltaic array capable of producing a minimum of 97 kW DC under average conditions at Alcatraz Island. The DC power is fed to a power processing unit (PPU) which will produce 480V AC power that is then routed to a distribution panel located in the Power Plant. Conduits shall be routed through existing utility chases and tunnels in between buildings. Work shall include the installation of a new 250 kW diesel fired generator, to operate in conjunction with an existing 250 kW Tier 3 generator. The new generator will match the existing generator in performance and emissions restrictions, and will be located in the Power Plant with the existing generator. The new generator will be connected to the Island electrical distribution system located in the Power Plant. Battery Power Storage will be located in an open area on the first floor of the New Industries Building. The estimated 480V DC, 4800AH battery bank will be connected to the PPU and provide energy storage and stability to the electrical distribution system. All necessary safety and monitoring systems required for the battery installation are included. This project also includes re-roofing the Main Prison Building; including removal of existing built-up roofing system on roof, parapet walls and curbs. The new roof will consist of 2-ply modified bitumen on a reinforced concrete deck using a smooth cap sheet with a reflective coating. Flashing, along with associated improvements and minor repair of some existing roof projections, is included with the re-roofing. In addition, replace the bird deterrent system with an in-kind product. Previous projects on Alcatraz Island have identified the presence of lead and asbestos in, and/or on, some of the existing materials. Appropriate testing, abatement and/or construction precautions will be performed as part of this project. Further develop and execute energy efficiency measures as outlined in the recent Alcatraz Island Energy Audit Report including: - Expanded Energy Audit and Demand Metering- Lighting Efficiency Analysis, Design, Recommendations and Upgrade- Water Heater Efficiency Recommendations- Mechanical Equipment Efficiency Analysis, Design and Recommendations- Operational Recommendations- Comprehensive Strategic Energy Management Plan for Alcatraz Island The contractor's design will be based upon the Schematic Design concept, project requirements narrative and Performance Technical Specifications (PTS) that will be provided in a subsequent Request for Proposal (Phase Two). Contractor recommendations for creative cost savings and/or quality-enhancing design solutions will be considered via the later RFP/Phase Two process. The project process will follow the National Park Service (NPS) workflows (http://www.nps.gov/dsc/workflows/designbuild.htm ). The estimated price is between $5,000,000 and $7,500,000, including all design and construction. All work will be completed no later than June 27, 2011. ARRA funding has been secured for this project. The contract provides for preparation of design development, value analysis of system alternatives, and construction documents. It is anticipated that the project will follow "Fast-Track construction" processes to meet schedule goals. Record (redlined) hard copy drawings and As-Constructed AutoCAD files drawings will also be required upon construction completion. All Design-Build firms have until 4:00 P.M. (Mountain Time Zone), March 4, 2010 to provide qualifications for evaluation based upon the following criteria in descending order of importance: 1. Past performance, demonstrating quality of work, professional expertise, technical competence, and ability to effectively schedule and manage a multi-disciplinary work force; 2. Extent of design/build experience of the firm and key personnel, especially experience that the offeror's A/E/construction company partnership has working together, particularly with the PV-Diesel power generation contracts; 3. Demonstrated ability to provide innovative, cost effective design and construction solutions, with emphasis and a commitment to improving on the initial design concepts without adding to the overall project cost; 4. Experience with projects of a type and scope similar to that of this project, which includes design and construction involving PV-Diesel power generation, battery power storage, and roof replacement in and on historic structures and historic sites;5.
