- The Mine Safety and Health Administration is issuing this pre-solicitation notice in anticipation of releasing a request for proposals (RFP) for architectural and engineering services and the subsequent construction of a data center at the National Mine Health and Safety Academy (NMHSA) located in Beaver, WV. The NMSHA contracted for a preliminary site survey that determined the best location for the data center as an existing classroom in one wing of the Academy where classrooms are located The National Mine Health and Safety Academy (NMHSA) was constructed in the 1970?s with the intent to provide a self-contained training facility for the Agency and the mining industry, including classrooms, dormitories, auditoriums, office space and meeting rooms. Additionally, the NMHSA supports the DOL and MSHA Continuity of Operations Plans and, upon completion, the data center will be the backup network operations center for the Agency. The data center will house up to 30 equipment racks filled with computer file servers and telecommunications equipment such as routers and switches that will connect the data center to the DOL wide area network and the NMHSA local area network. The data center will support all of the NMHSA computer needs, approximately one-half of the Agency?s computer and telecommunications needs, support the MSHA continuity of operations plan, and augment the department?s IT needs in the event of a national emergency. The room that will be used for the data center is a classroom that is approximately 750 sq. ft. sitting at the end of one wing of the main NMHSA facility. .

The successful offeror will be required to provide a full set of architectural and engineering drawings with complete specifications for room construction, electrical, and data center environmental controls to satisfy, at a minimum, requirements that are industry standards for data centers.
