The purpose of this project is to repair the facility back to working order. The work includes demolition, renovation and incidental related work. Trades for this project include, but not limited to, Mechanical, Electrical, Structural, and Fire. BACKGROUND: • On 2 January 2018, the heat to Building 807 failed resulting in the facility freezing. The fire sprinkler piping was damaged along with most of the domestic water lines. Through inspection, fire suppression lines throughout the building have frozen and compromised the integrity of the entire system. Half of the building is not able to be used due to damage and the other side has been minimally repaired for operation. The main fire suppression system in currently not operational. Domestic waterlines were also affected by this freeze. Make-up air unit for the kitchen is inoperable and causes an overly negative pressure in the kitchen area. This results in infiltration through the attic space and drives further risk of frozen pipes. Last facility renovation was in 1994. The magnitude of construction is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. Respondents should indicate their size in relation to this size standard and indicate socio-economic status (i.e. SB, 8(a), HUBZone, EDWOSB, WOSB, or SDVOSB). Respondents are further requested to indicate their status as a Foreign-owned/Foreign-controlled firm and any contemplated use of foreign national employees on this effort. The Government reserves the right to consider a small business set- aside based upon responses hereto for any subsequent action. All prospective contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database to be awarded a DoD contract. No set- aside decision has been made.
