Kennedy Space Center, Procurement, Kennedy Space Center, FL 32899 Description SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE Refurbish Ground Cooling System (GCS), Launch Complex (LC) 39B INTRODUCTION The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) at the John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC) is seeking capability statements from all interested parties, including Small, Small Disadvantaged (SDB), 8(a), Woman-owned (WOSB), Veteran Owned (VOSB), Service Disabled Veteran Owned (SD-VOSB), and Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) businesses for the purposes of determining the appropriate level of competition and/or small business subcontracting goals for Refurbish Ground Cooling System (GCS), Launch Complex (LC) 39B at Kennedy Space Center, Florida 32899. The Government reserves the right to consider a Small, 8(a), Woman-owned (WOSB), Service Disabled Veteran (SD-VOSB), or HUBZone business set-aside based on responses hereto. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 238220 Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors with a size standard of $14.0 million. Estimated award date for this contract is July - August 2014, with a project period of performance of approximately 240 calendar days. Estimated award amount is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. SCOPE OF WORK The work includes but is not limited to the following: The refurbishment and/or replacement of various Ground Cooling System (GCS) components at LC 39B. The completed GCS will provide R-134a through a closed loop as a heat transfer medium to the new Space Launch System (SLS) vehicle. The refurbishment / replacement scope includes the following components, but is not limited to; heat exchangers, high pressure stainless steel piping, reservoir tank, chemical pumps, valves, structural steel, insulation and coating systems, associated electrical equipment, and instrumentation / controls work. All equipment will be installed at KSC Building J7-337 (Launch Pad 39B). Existing valves, heat exchangers, regulators, refrigerant and GN2 (Gaseous Nitrogen) piping will be replaced, requiring careful removal and demolition.Electrical equipment supporting the GCS will be will be modified to accommodate the new equipment. New piping will be installed to interface with the Mobile Launcher and require modifications to the electrical platform structure. Evacuation of existing refrigerant and installation of new refrigerant will be required for various modules along with total system cleaning requirements based upon level 300 of KSC-C-123J, Surface Cleanliness of Ground Support Equipment Fluid Systems or similar cleanliness level based upon ISO-14952. Control System work will require development of a temporary industrial process control system using a National Instruments or approved equal control chassis to test and commission that all construction changes have met the required system performance requirements. This facility will be undergoing other construction modifications during the performance of this construction project and close coordination with the Governments team will be required. Specifically, this project consists of, but is not limited to: A.Refurbishment of the LC 39B Ground Cooling System. 1.Selective demolition and replacement of heat exchangers and their support mechanisms within steel enclosures 2.Selective demolition and replacement of welded stainless steel piping inside the ECLSS building and out to the Mobile Launcher Interface. 3.Selective demolition and replacement of control / system components including but not limited to; pumps, reservoir, valves, regulators, filters, and gauges. 4.Change out to different refrigerant and oil in various closed loops 5.Installation of government provided transducers and instrumentation devices. 6.Development, installation and testing of a temporary control system to verify the complement refurbishment meets system performance requirements. B.Contractor will be required to closely coordinate all sub-contractors trades and provide detailed CAD based dimensioned fabrication, coordination, and installation drawings for the multiple systems described above. C.Contractor will be required to provide independent (without Government witness) testing results of each system, sequence of operations validation, and provide full support to operate the system for the Governments witnessed Commissioning including functional and system integration testing.
