Description

THIS IS A 100% SET-ASIDE FOR SERVICE-DISABLED VETERAN-OWNED SMALL BUSINESS (SDVOSB) CONCERNS. Firms responding to this announcement must be registered and verified as eligible in the Vendor Information Pages database as a SDVOSB at https://www.vip.vetbiz.gov/ in accordance with VAAR 819.7005, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set-Aside Procedures. The NAICS Code for this acquisition is 541310 and the applicable Small Business Size Standard is $7.0M. The area of consideration is RESTRICTED to a 500 mile radius of the Shreveport VA Medical Center (Overton Brooks VA Medical Center), 510 E. Stoner, Avenue, Shreveport, LA 71101, in which the Architect/Engineer (A/E) Firm's primary office must be located. Note: The 500 mile radius will be measured by one or more of the nationally recognized commercial free on-line web mapping services from the primary company address to the above VA address (shortest distance option). The estimated Construction Range is between $2,000,000 and $5,000,000. A/E SCOPE OF WORK This project shall replace approximately 350 existing Fan Coil Units (FCU's) in Building #1. The FCU's will be replaced on the following floors of our main hospital building in both clinical and administrative areas: Basement floor, 5th floor, 7th floor, 8th floor and 10th floor. The project removes the existing units that are approximately 20 years old and related components and replaces the fan coil unit including, but not limited to, all coils, all associated valve packages, isolation valves, piping, unions, strainers, vents, insulation, fresh air ducts and thermostats. It also replaces the existing FCU control system with a new controls system capable of simple integration with the existing Johnson Controls system. The project will improve the heating and cooling of clinical and administrative areas of our main hospital building where Veterans receive care. The new system shall fully address replacement and installation of all system and component devices to meet and/or exceed all applicable VA Design and Sustainability Guidelines & Requirements, American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), International (IMC), National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), and National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements. Further, it shall also address system equipment, air and water rebalancing, construction phasing limiting the contractor to work in 2 rooms at a time, tie-in to existing Building Management System (BMS), and possible required asbestos abatement. This contract shall provide a complete design (construction documents) and comprehensive construction period services (CPS). The design shall include new heating and cooling load calculations for each room based on the current use of the space to properly size new FCU's. The design shall include an asbestos survey to determine if any asbestos is present and asbestos removal documents required for abatement.
