THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY. This notice does NOT constitute a request for proposal, request for quote, or invitation for bid. The intent of this notice is to identify potential offerors for market research purposes and to determine whether to set-aside the requirement for small business concerns. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Mid-Atlantic is seeking eligible Small Businesses, HUBZone Small Businesses, Small Disadvantaged Businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, and Women-Owned Small Businesses capable of performing construction services for the following project: Project Description: RM17-0429 – This project proposes a renovation of existing Building 102, Chamberlain Hall, Dam Neck, Virginia, to accommodate United States Fleet Forces (USFF) Live Virtual Training Operation Center and Navy Continuous Training Environmental (NCTE) mission. The building is approximately 46,378 SF in area. The existing building is a two-story structure, originally built in phases during the 1970s and 1980s. The entire building will be assigned to USFF which will be utilized by NSWC Corona to meet their mission. The current facility is to be reconfigured to accommodate evolving mission of B102 users. Asbestos abatement and mold remediation are included in the project. Repairs include replacement of all exterior doors, windows, and louvers to comply with ATFP requirements. Some existing windows and louvers will be removed and openings will be filled in with equivalent thickness CMU and finished with parging coat to match existing adjacent surfaces. Most of the scope of work is a reconfiguration of interior non-load bearing partition walls, replacement and addition of raised access flooring, replacement of fixtures, replacement of finishes, and mold remediation. Existing restrooms will be demolished, and new restrooms will be ABA compliant. The first and second floors renovation will contain a partial Control Access Area (CAA) and will contain a secure grouping of spaces. The second floor will contain two Controlled Areas to be accredited. ESS controlled access will be required for most of these spaces. In order to comply with egress requirements, a third egress stair will be added on the exterior south face of the building. An existing roof hatch will be demolished, and the remaining opening will be patched with matching roof construction. A new roof hatch will be installed in a new location outside of the controlled area boundary. The building renovation maintains the form and size of the existing building shell, so the primary gravity and lateral systems of the building, which did not show signs of distress, are maintained and reused. Within the building, the interior renovation scope necessitates a variety of minor structural modifications. New or relocated wall openings are framed using steel lintels and/or infill masonry. Abandoned openings are infilled. An existing slab-on-grade depression is infilled with foam and slab. New mechanical duct openings in the elevated slab are reinforced using carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips. The east wing of the building is also reinforced with CFRP to carry additional live load. The roof structure is strengthened to support a new operable partition. The overbuilt bathroom and corridor slabs are demolished, and new overbuilt slabs are installed at the toilets and ramp areas. Several steel posts are added to comply with the ATFP upgrades. The aggregate effect of these modifications is to prepare the building structure for the service life extension inherent with such a renovation. The existing Fire Protection System will be overhauled, including repair of sprinkler heads and release devices. The project will repair sprinkler water supply equipment and piping. The system riser will be configured as required to provide a new backflow preventer. The existing fire alarm system will be replaced with a new fire alarm and mass notification system. Site improvements include removal of vegetation and parking to establish ATFP standoff clearance around the building. Restripe the parking lot servicing the building. Repair of select concrete pavement around the building for dumpster pad and delivery service area. Repair sanitary sewer service lines and water service lines and hydrants servicing the building. Constructing a new Mechanical Chiller Yard. Removal of Electrical Systems with repair of electrical systems include the following: Existing pad mounted transformers, interior transformers, switchgear, panelboards, electrical devices and telecommunications/security systems will be replaced. A new medium voltage feeder and duct bank will be used and extended to serve new secondary unit substation with transformer. Site lighting for exterior and special security including underground distribution, hand-holes, grounding, fixtures and controls will be provided for a complete and usable system. Backup power generator shall be provided for the total load of the building with 5 - 600KW parallel diesel/natural gas bi-fueled generator sets. Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) will be provided for data room areas. A complete lighting system will be provided consisting of exit and emergency lighting as well as area lighting consisting of solid-state LED lighting. Area Lighting for sidewalks and building exterior will be provided with LED type lighting fixtures. An automatic lighting control system will be provided for exterior lighting fixtures utilizing lighting contactors, time switches, and photocell switches. The exterior lighting will use full cut-off type luminaries, minimum 4000K CCT and 70 CRI. Exterior lighting levels will be in accordance with IESNA standards. The total exterior lighting allowance for all exterior applications will comply with ASHRAE 90.1. Lighting levels will meet minimum requirements for security system cameras nighttime operation. Where emergency lighting is required, fixtures will be served by a central emergency battery unit. Interior electrical system consisting of service entrance wiring and equipment, distribution and panel-boards, dry type transformers, conduits, feeder and branch circuits, HVAC equipment, lighting and branch wiring, communications, security/alarm systems, emergency lighting and power, and grounding. 120 volt power receptacles will not require automatic control per ASHRAE 90.1-2013, as receptacles specifically designed for equipment requiring continuous operation (24 hours/day, 365 days/year) are except, as stated per ASHRAE 90.1-2013, section 8.4.2 This exception shall be invoked for this facility. A complete lightning protection system will be provided in accordance with NFPA 780, UL 96A, IEEE C2 and MIL-HDBK-1004/6. The lightning protection system will be provided with a UL Lightning Protection Inspection Certificate certified to UL 96A and will include strike termination devices, conductors, ground terminals, interconnecting conductors, surge suppression devices and other connectors and fittings required for a complete and usable system. Support for Audio- Visual Systems will consist of junction boxes and conduit with pull-strings to above the ceilings. Power receptacles will be provided in locations as applicable.
