- Description
- The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) occupies a 2.5 million square foot leased campus in Alexandria, Virginia. The campus was constructed with a major focus on creating redundancies in power to support Data Center operations. The USPTO assumed full occupancy of the campus between 2003 and 2005. As part of the initial construction, the lease stipulated that the campus be supported by two different power feeds and two rotary UPS systems so that the critical load of the Data Center equipment could be supported without any delay. See Attachment 1 for an excerpt from the lease. In July of this year, the lessor performed a standard power outage for preventative maintenance. While performing the outage and in the subsequent week, there were three anomalies with the Piller systems. Unit one blew a fuse and then six days later, the flywheel failed. Subsequent to this, the Lessor has brought in Piller to perform diagnostics on Unit 1 and parts for replacement have been ordered, although the lead time appears to be 14 weeks plus shipping. The lessor has suggested that they perform diagnostics on Unit 2, but the unit will need to be taken down for an 8-hour period for that assessment. This Scope of Work requires a Contractor to conduct an assessment of the operating systems and to report on two elements: 1) whether it is risk-appropriate to allow the lessor to perform diagnostics on Piller Unit 2 in the near term, and 2) whether there are other considerations to mitigate risks (e.g., acquisition of temporary UPS systems) in the continued operations of the Data Center until Piller Unit 1 is fully operational. See Amendment for solicitation documents.
