Kennedy Space Center, Procurement, Kennedy Space Center, FL 32899 Description SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE Safety and Reliability Upgrade, KSC Institutional Power Systems, Phase 2. PCN 98966.2 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 Large, Small, Small Disadvantaged (SDB), 8(a), Woman-owned (WOSB), Economically Disadvantaged Woman Owned Small Business (EDWOSB), 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 a potential construction project to Reliability Upgrade, KSC Institutional Power Systems, Phase 2 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 237130, title Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction, with a size standard of $36.5 million. Estimated award date for this contract is early 2016. NASA/KSC is considering soliciting and awarding a single firm-fixed price construction contract with an estimated contract value between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000. The period of performance is approximately two years. SCOPE OF WORK The work to be performed under this project consists of providing all labor, equipment, materials, tools, test equipment, specialized services, and subcontracts to revitalize various medium and low voltage power systems at the Kennedy Space Center. The work includes but is not limited to the following: a. Demolition, replacement, and installation of underground low and medium voltage cable systems to 15kV class, including installation in underground duct systems, manholes, and conduit systems. Use of personnel certified in complex cable splices while wearing arc-flash personnel protective equipment in manholes. b. Installing new and replacing various exterior 15kV switches with pad-mounted or vault style types. Installing new 15 kV class pad-mounted power transformers. c. Replacement and refurbishment of outdoor medium voltage (13.2 kV) air insulated bus structure at a high voltage (115 kV) substation. Work includes replacement or repair and refinishing of structural steel, reuse/replacement of electrical components (insulators, copper bus, surge arresters, switches, breaker jumpers, instrument transformers, lighting, grounding, etc.) supported from the structural steel, and protection of components and cables to remain in place and be reused. Providing engineering services to fully detail and specify the installation prior to construction. d. Interior and exterior low voltage (to 600 Volts) demolition and installation work. Work includes the replacement of an existing outdoor 480V substation equipment with new 1500 KVA double-ended switchgear including programmable logic controller and automatic transfer sequences. e. Site work (excavation, backfill, concrete, concrete reinforcement, bollards, de-watering, etc.) associated with underground electrical work and electrical equipment installation including foundations and pads for switches, transformers, and other electrical equipment enclosures. f. Structural steel design, detailing, fabrication, and finishing. g. Hazardous material sampling and abatement (paint, oil, and asbestos). h. Planning and sequencing work to minimize both the quantity and duration of power outages. i. Power system control power, instrument/metering, and transfer control systems including the use of programmable logic controllers and Schweitzer Engineering protective relay systems.Networking of metering, programmable logic controllers, and protective relays for customized remote monitoring and control. Providing detailed as-built wiring and software documentation for all such systems. j. Power system analysis, coordination studies, arc-flash studies, and protective relay settings. Performance of electrical safety hazard analysis, detailed job hazard analysis, and use of electrical personnel protective equipment, arc-flash and shock prevention. k. Power system equipment testing and validation including factory testing, customized and comprehensive field testing (commissioning), and NETA testing.
