SOURCES SOUGHT For REPAIR HVAC SYSTEM AND ROOF, B402, SHEPPARD AFB, TEXAS This is a SOURCES SOUGHT announcement; a market survey for information only, to be used for preliminary acquisition planning purposes. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR PROPOSALS AND NO CONTRACT WILL BE AWARDED FROM THIS SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this sources sought announcement or any follow up information requests. Respondents will be notified upon request following the sources sought evaluation results. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) - Tulsa District (SWT) is conducting market research for an anticipated two-phase design-build contract to be procured in accordance with FAR Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation, using the best value trade-off process and intends to solicit Phase 1 proposals on or about July 2024. The type of set-aside decision(s) to be issued will depend upon the responses to this sources sought announcement and associated market research. This project will replace the entire mechanical system throughout Building 402 that serves 87,510 total square feet within this 3-story building. New units will be chilled water/hot water that replace existing packaged DX refrigerant multi-zone RTU’s. Due to limited space for a mechanical room, the new system shall consist of roof mounted VAV air handling units using chilled water/hot water coils and hot water reheat (4-pipe system) coupled with a ground mounted self-contained chiller/boiler plant using a water cooled chiller with evaporative cooling tower and high efficiency natural gas condensing boilers. The work includes, but is not limited to: a. Provide complete architecture-engineering design package to replace the existing multi-zone RTU’s with a new 4-pipe hydronic VAV HVAC 3 system throughout the building. b. Design and install a new variable air volume (VAV) HVAC system using packaged Roof Top Units, utilizing chilled water temperatures capable of humidity control, hot water heating coil and reheat coils serving all spaces to provide fully conditioned building. If all equipment cannot be roof mounted due to interior space limitations, and eliminates the need for a new chase, locating a portion of the HVAC units for the first floor on the ground with screening (replacing existing) will be acceptable. Outside air intakes shall be 10’-0” AFG. c. HVAC work includes removal and replacement of existing controls with new Direct Digital Controls. Provide additional ventilation in restrooms. The electrical system includes the facility’s entire secondary distribution system as well as the pad-mounted 1000kVA service transformer providing power to the facility. d. Replace the existing built-up (tar & gravel) roof at 29,185 square feet. The preliminary expectation is replacement with white EPDM rubber roofing membrane. USACE will need to consult a contractor perform a preliminary investigation of roofing underlayment, including core samples to determine thickness and condition of ballast covering, membrane, insulation, and deck substrate. e. Building 402 will be occupied and in operation during construction and the performance period of this contract. The construction in the facility shall be completed by floor in three phases. The floor currently under construction will be un-occupied during the construction phase. All other floors will be occupied. Phase 1 shall consist of all construction related items on the 3rd floor of the facility. Phase 2 shall consist of all construction related items on the 2nd floor of the facility. Phase 3 shall consist of all construction related items on the 1st floor of the facility.
