- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Kennedy Space Center (KSC)is seeking capability statements from all interested parties, including Small, SmallDisadvantaged, 8(a), Woman-Owned, Veteran Owned, Service Disabled Veteran Owned, andHistorically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) businesses for the purposes ofdetermining the appropriate level of competition and small business subcontracting goalsfor the repair by replacement of the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)systems at the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility (PHSF) at Kennedy Space Center,Florida 32899. Vendors having the capabilities necessary to meet or exceed the statedrequirements are invited to submit capability packages, appropriate documentation andreferences. The Government reserves the right to consider a Small, Small Disadvantaged,8(a), Woman-Owned, Veteran Owned, Service Disabled Veteran Owned, or HUBZone businessset-aside. The NAICS code for this effort is 238220 and the small business size standard is $14.0M. MAGNITUDE OF PROJECT: In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 36.204,Disclosure of the Magnitude of Construction Projects, the estimated price range is asfollows: (f) Between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. SCOPE OF WORK: This project is to replace the main air handling units (AHUs), pre-conditioning coilunits (PCCs), and related HVAC control devices, instrumentation, and structural supportsfor these systems at the PHSF. The PHSF is a clean room environment and is utilized toprepare payloads/spacecraft launched through the Launch Service Program (LSP).Construction phasing of each AHU and PCC replacement along with its essential componentsmust be completed sequentially. Specifically, this project consists of: a.Replacing exterior chilled and hot water type air-handling units andpre-conditioning coil units at the PHSF to include:i.Selective mechanical component demolition with re-utilization of existingequipment.ii.Working around an operational critical facility with minimal impact.iii.Patching and routing of new ducting and piping around existing structuralmembers, electrical and mechanical equipment.iv.Installation of the following, but not limited to: flow meters, strainers,control valves, balancing valves, isolation and drain valves, test plugs, industrialthermometer gages, pressure gages, air vents, coil connections, piping insulation, filterassemblies, and dampers.v.Installation of compressed air piping and valves.vi.Testing, adjusting, and balancing chilled/hot water type AHUs and PCCs, both airand water side.vii.Water analysis and water chemical treatment.viii.Developing ISO Class 8 (100k) or more stringent cleanliness plans, certificationand execution of these plans on AHUs, PCCs, coils, instrumentation, and ducts during andpost installation and prior to startup to maintain the facilitys clean roomclassification.ix.Painting and coating applications on differing substrates.b.Providing modifications to structural support framing of the mechanical systemsto be replaced to include:i.Concrete demolition and replacement.ii.Soil compaction.iii.Working around existing underground utilities and trenches.iv.Dig/excavation permits are required.v.Selective structural framing demolition.vi.Coordinating with supplied mechanical systems to ensure adequate support andproper dimensions.c.Providing modifications to existing Direct Digital Control (DDC) panels andinstallation of new and reutilization of existing control device and instrumentation.Type of existing DDC panel includes Andover. Additional aspects of this work include:i.Selective safing and removal of instrumentation and controllers to bere-utilized.ii.Installation and routing of conduit, connectors, and junction boxes aroundexisting operational equipment.iii.Installation and connection of the following instrumentation and control devices,but not limited to: valve actuators, differential pressure sensors, smoke duct detectors,damper actuators, temperature sensors, humidity and temperature duct probes, humidity andtemperature space sensors.iv.Wiring to following, but not limited to: new/existing motor starters, relays, andcurrent-to-pneumatic (IP) transducers.v.Working with Andover control software including digital and analog signals andprogramming of DDC sequence of operations.vi.Field sensor calibration and proper range resistance manipulation.vii.Commissioning the control system, by checkout of equipment functionality andaccuracy of the sequence of operations.d.Environmental and safety work including worker protection, asbestos/leadavoidance or abatement, waste segregation, and waste disposal.e.Providing detailed system engineering and shop drawings including, but notlimited to, control system diagrams, ladder diagrams, product data, equipment schedules,wiring diagrams, sequence of operations, control panel arrangement diagrams, operationsand maintenance information, record fire alarm as-builts, fire alarm testing procedures,HVAC calculations, and other construction transmittals as required by the contractdocuments. These documents will be approved by the Government, prior to start of work.CAPABILITIES STATEMENT:It is requested that interested firms having the capabilities necessary to meet or exceedall aspects of the effort described herein, submit to the contracting office acapabilities statement demonstrating ability to perform the services listed above andproviding the following information: 1.
