- Description
- Modify/Upgrade Existing Control System at the Energy Center. The Department of Veterans Affairs, Jesse Brown VA Medical Center, 820 S. Damen, Chicago, IL 60612 intends to negotiate and award a Sole Source design-build contract under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements to Energy Systems Group. Jesse Brown VA Medical Center has a requirement to have its existing energy system controls which operates the transition between the gas powered turbine and the local utility supply modified to operate with a new 750 KVA transformer that will be installed by the local utility company. The upgrade in controls is required since the electrical load for the facility will increase as a result of building a new patient bed tower. Controls are designed to provide a seamless transition from the turbine (electric power) to local utility which is the facility secondary source of power. These controls also allow the turbine to operate in parallel with the local utility when the electrical power requirements of the facility are greater than the capacity of the turbine. Replacement of these controls is critical to the operation of the Medical Center and must be designed to prevent the loss of power to the Medical Center in the event of a turbine failure. The proposed contractor, Energy Systems Group designed and installed the existing control system that is currently in operation. This contactor is owner and operator of the Energy Center that supplies electricity, Steam and Chilled Water to the medical center, VBA office building and the facility parking garage. It is believed that since Energy Systems Group is the original designer and installer of the system, has sole responsibility and liability for the proper operation of these controls under the Enhanced Use Lease contract, that they are the only responsible sole source capable of making required modifications to satisfy the agency requirement. A justification for other than full and open competition is prepared in support of this acquisition. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely at the discretion of the Government. Applicable NAICS codes 541330 and 238210. Inquiries will only be accepted in writing by email addressed to: Katherine.l.McClendon@med.va.gov Due date 4-30-2007 by COB.
