Replace the three constant-flow condenser water pumps with three condenser water pumps with variable speed drives. Replace electrical for chiller and pump from their locations to the Motor Control Center (MCC). Provide common header for the chilled water pump system allowing different operational combinations of cooling towers with chillers. Replace chiller controls using a Chilled Manager Control System and complete testing, balancing, and commissioning. Replace the three damaged structural steel framed cooling towers and related system components. Repair damaged reinforced concrete basin walls and piers under the cooling towers. Repair various degraded components in the Chemical Treatment Building 618 Area B. The work will be phased as not all the chillers can be taken offline at once. Construction: Replace three 1100 ton Chillers, chilled water pumps, condenser water pumps, and electrical supplies. Provide variable speed drives for Chiller and Condenser Pumps. Install new refrigerant monitoring system, chilled water manager system control panel, building management system integration and control panel, suction and discharge headers on the chiller pump, balancing valves, and centrifugal water separators in the chiller room. Install automated exhaust fan, updated water softening system, HVAC (heating, ventilating, and air conditioning) unit, make-up water piping, emergency eye wash station, and lightning protection in the chemical treatment building. Replace three cooling towers (above basins), three sluice gates, repair reinforced concrete basin wall/piers, and install new isolation valves, necessary upgraded electrical, and lightning protection in the cooling tower area. Contract duration is estimated at 1095 calendar days. The estimated cost range is between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000. NAICS code is 236220.

Those not currently registered can obtain registration by going to the website http://www.SAM.gov and are highly encouraged to begin the registration process. The process can usually be completed from 24 to 48 hours after submission. Contractors will need to obtain a Unique Entity Identifier (formerly DUNS number) for processing their registration.

Effective 29 April 2018, the notarized letter process is now mandatory on all CURRENT registrants at SAM who have a requirement to update data on their SAM record. The notarized letter is mandatory and is required before the GSA Federal Service Desk (FSD) will activate the entity's registration. Effective 29 June 2018, vendors creating or updating their registration can have their registration activated prior to the approval of the required notarized letter. However, the signed copy of the notarized letter must be sent to the GSA Federal Service Desk (FSD) within 30 days of activation or the vendor risks no longer being active in SAM.
