Description

SYNOPSIS: INTRODUCTION: In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.215-3, "Request for Information or Solicitation for Planning Purposes" This Sources Sought Notice is for information and planning purposes only at this time and shall not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation on the part of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The Department of Veterans Affairs, Program Contracting Activity Central (PCAC) is conducting a market survey and is seeking potential sources for the construction of a new HVAC hot water recycling system at the Audie Murphy VA Medical Center in San Antonio, TX. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Audie Murphy VA Medical Center was constructed in 1973 and continues to operate with the original HVAC hot water recycling and domestic hot water systems. In an effort to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption, the Department of Veterans Affairs is planning to demolition and construct a new HVAC hot water recycling system and a new domestic hot water system. The existing HVAC hot water recycling system contains two tube and shell heaters, one of which is not functioning. Under this project the existing system will be removed and two new heat exchangers will be installed. The new heat exchangers will immediately provide the redundant capacity which is lacking with the current system as one heat exchanger is non-operational. In addition to the redundant capacity the new system will also provide gains in efficiency through normal usage and with the installation of anew flash steam recovery pit. All asbestos containing materials will be removed and replaces with non-asbestos containing materials. Hot water is critical to providing patient care. A major goal for this project is to keep the hot water system operational through the construction process in an effort to ensure the uninterrupted delivery of hot water throughout the hospital. To accomplish this goal the new domestic hot water system will be constructed in the location of the existing silver ion system. The silver ion system will be relocated to accommodate construction. All asbestos containing materials will be removed and replaces with non-asbestos containing materials. PROCUREMENT INFORMATION: The proposed project will be a competitive, firm-fixed-price contract utilizing the design-bid-build approach. The anticipated solicitation will be issued as an Invitation for Bid (IFB) in accordance with FAR Part 14, considering only price and the price-related factors included in the IFB. However, the results and analysis of the market research will finalize the determination of the procurement method. The type of socio-economic set-aside, in any, will depend upon the responses to this notice and any other information gathered during the market research process. This project is planned for advertising in early August 2013. In accordance with VAAR 836.204, the magnitude of construction is between $750,000.00 and $1,000,000.00. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 238220 (size standard $14.0 million) applies to this procurement. The duration of the project is currently estimated at 300 calendar days from the issuance of a Notice to Proceed.
