No proposals are being requested nor accepted under this synopsis. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District, will use information obtained under this source sought for Building 110 Repairs – Design Build Phase 1 at Watervliet Arsenal (WVA), NY. The intent of this sources sought is to access industry's small business concerns including 8(a) companies with an SBA approved office, Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUB Zone) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), and all small businesses under the size standard, capability and interest in performing a construction project within Watervliet Arsenal, New York. The NAICS code for this project is 236220 – Commercial and Institutional Building Construction. The Government must ensure there is adequate competition among contractors for work to be performed under this solicitation. The New York District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (District) is requesting a Design-Build RFP for Building 110 Repairs at Watervliet Arsenal (WVA), NY. The scope of work consists of the Phase I repairs to Building 110 using the Design Build contract method. The general work involved is as follows: Replace exterior doors, transoms, and rolling overhead service doors that are approaching end of service life, targeting a minimum 30% improvement above ASHRAE 90.1-2019 thermal performance requirements. Areas of suspected air infiltration be sealed with either a low expansion spray foam or automated building envelope sealing system, including but not limited to: window and door perimeters, bottom and tops of walls where they intersect the floor slab and roof, as well as roof fastener penetrations. All interior surfaces of the building (floors, ceilings, walls, columns, and windows) require a thorough cleaning in accordance with historic preservation standards. Existing paint that is flaking and peeling on the roof deck and interior brickwork will be removed. Surfaces are to be re-coated in accordance with historic preservation standards. A vapor permeable coating compatible with the automated sealing system must be utilized on the inside face of the brickwork in order to allow the envelope to dry out. Structural scope for this project includes: masonry repointing, repair, and cleaning; reinstatement of truss anchors and braces as required to comprise a complete lateral load path; implementation of improvements to the ladder system and crane operator access; localized steel column repairs; localized floor slab repairs; localized roof deck repairs; and localized truss reinforcement in support of new roof insulation, as required. Removal of all B110 steam and condensate piping systems and providing new piping, pressure reducing stations, valves, fittings, and condensate receivers and pumps that meet the Watervliet Standards Reference for Design and applicable codes. Objectives for the HVAC design include renewing infrastructure. A new air compressor will be provided, and all of the distribution piping will be replaced. The compressed air system will continue to be tied into the existing campus compressed air system as well. All non-potable water distribution piping will be replaced. The electrical scope of work entails the removal of circuits to mechanical and plumbing equipment being demolished as well as providing new circuits for steam condensate pumps, an air compressor and fire protection system nitrogen generator. The fire protection scope of work for Phase 1 will provide an automatic wet pipe sprinkler system coverage throughout Lab 156, fed from Zone 1. The preaction sprinkler systems will be provided with nitrogen gas supervision. The fire protection scope of work will also remove the existing manual dry standpipe system and provide a new Class I automatic wet standpipe system with hose stations throughout the manufacturing area, tied into the existing 8-inch sprinkler loop feed main. The roof scope of work may include replacement and/or localized repair of the roof membrane. Abatement of hazardous materials to support repair work.
