The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) at the John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC) plans to issue Request for Proposal 80KSC021R0028, Replace Switchgears in the Booster Fabrication Facility (BFF) The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 237130, Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction with a small business size standard of $39.5 million. This procurement will be a small business set-aside. The estimated solicitation release date is June 20, 2021, with a project period of performance of 730 calendar days. Estimated award amount is between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000. SCOPE OF WORK The replacement of existing AFT Skirt Test Facility, L7-0251, electrical substation 1116A/B (MV Switch, transformers and secondary switchboard). The original building substation is approximately 25 years old and is obsolete. The new substation will be customized as a M-T-M (main-tie-main) configuration and will be customized to match the dimensions of the existing concrete pad and associated circuit conduits. The new substation will share a separate control panel that will contain integrated PLC controls. The replacement of existing Manufacturing Building, L6-0247, electrical substations 1114A/B & 1115A/B (MV Switch, transformers and secondary switchboard). The original building substations are approximately 25 years old and are obsolete. The new substations will be customized as a M-T-M configuration and will be customized to match the dimensions of the existing concrete pad and associated circuit conduits. The new substations will share a separate control panel that will contain integrated PLC controls. The replacement of existing Chiller Building, L6-0147, electrical substation 1113A/B (MV Switch, transformers and secondary switchboard). The original building substation is approximately 25 years old and is obsolete. The new substation will be customized as a M-T-M configuration and will be customized to match the dimensions of the existing concrete pad and associated circuit conduits. The new substationwill share a separate control panel that will have integrated PLC controls. Where used below, “removal” means selective demolition and potential storage of items removed, “replacement” means installation of new components/systems, and “reinstallation” means reuse of existing equipment removed and placed in a new configuration, as specified in contract documents to later be formally solicited. The work includes, but is not limited to, the following: Removal existing electrical equipment and Installation of new substations (switchgear/transformers/medium voltage switches), including installation of PLCs at locations inside the new substation, installation of PLC control and power wiring, installation of sensing devices, and connection to PLCs for the circuit. Existing equipment, components, assemblies, etc., that must be removed and replaced/reinstalled are known to have coatings containing or are partially comprised of asbestos, heavy metals, and/or PCBs. Abatement procedures will be required for certain construction activities. This project includes working in a fully operational facility that cannot have any significant duration of downtime without substantial coordination around launch, launch vehicle processing schedules, and testing and manufacturing related to various launch vehicles. Phasing of work around daily operations of the BFF AFT Skirt Test Facility, the Manufacturing and Chiller Building are critical to the success of the project. Daily coordination with operations personnel for outages and work in different areas will be required to keep the BFF buildings operational while performing the work specified in the contract documents. No solicitation exists at this time; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If a solicitation is released it will be synopsized in Sam.Gov Website. It is the potential offeror’s responsibility to monitor this site for the release of any solicitation or synopsis. NOTE: It is anticipated that Specifications and Drawings for this project will have an Export Determination of EAR 99 – EAR Controlled – ITAR Controlled - and are considered controlled documents. Therefore, download of documents won’t be permitted until requesters have been cleared through the Defense Logistics Information Service (DLIS). Please begin DLIS registration immediately since clearance could take a couple of weeks. All contractors that will be interested in receiving drawings and specifications for this project will have to ensure they have been screened by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Joint Certification Program (JCP) by completing a DD Form 2345. To complete the DD Form 2345, go to the website at https://www.dla.mil/HQ/LogisicsOperations/Services/JCP/, then in the Search Box enter “Joint Certification”, then click on “JCP DD Form 2345 Instructions”. This process does take time and the Government encourages contractors to start as soon as possible. If a contractor has been previously screened by DLA they can verify if their status is still active by utilizing their cage code at: https://public.logisicsinformationservice.dla.mil/jcp/search.aspx. Notice is hereby provided that access to the drawings and specifications will be limited to offerors certified by DLA.
