Description
The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH) requires services to provide operation and maintenance to the Central Utility Plant (CUP) at the NIH Research Triangle Park, North Carolina location. The CUP provides all utility services for heating, cooling, electrical distribution, and hazardous waste incineration for NIH’s National Institute of Environment Health Sciences (NIEHS) campus and the adjoining campus of the Environmental Protection Agency at Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. The NAICS code for this requirement is 561210 and Small Business size standard is $32.5 million. NIH intends to procure these services as a competitive Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set side. The projected date for issuance of the solicitation is on or about November 21, 2008. The Solicitation will be available on the Federal Business Opportunity (FedBizOpps) site only. NIH anticipates award of a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract with performance period of one base year and four one-year options. The anticipated award date is February 20, 2009. The government anticipates allowing a site visit to provide potential offerors an opportunity to tour the facility. It is anticipated that the site visit will take place approximately one week after the RFP is released. BACKGROUND: The NIEHS Campus, completed in 1982, is Government-owned, expandable location which includes administration, laboratory, and support facilities. The NIEHS Campus consists of 374.5 acres of land, eight buildings, roadways, parking areas, and an underground utilities system. There are also 13 temporary modular type buildings on the northern portion of the site. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also has a facility located on the adjoining Government owned property which includes approximately 1,000,000 sq. ft. of office and laboratory space. This facility is heated and cooled from the NIEHS CUP. The NIEHS and EPA are research complexes containing complicated and sophisticated building environmental support and utility systems to support long term research. Animals are widely used in this research. These test animals are housed in very tightly controlled conditions of temperature and humidity, and are supplied with conditioned air that has been filtered to remove microorganisms and chemicals which could adversely affect the outcome of a research project. Laboratories contain extremely complex and expensive test equipment which requires, in many cases, a very closely controlled environment to function properly. Responsiveness and skill by contractor employees to operate, maintain, repair and restore operation and control of the utilities support systems is extremely critical for the protection of the integrity of the many research programs being conducted at this facility. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES: Provide all personnel, supervision, management, equipment, materials, supplies, tools, and all other items necessary to operate and maintain the CUP, which provides all utilities’ services for heating, cooling, electrical distribution, and hazardous waste incineration for the NIH/ORF North Carolina Facilities and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Services shall include, but not limited to, operation of utilities systems and their associated mechanical/electrical plants; preventive maintenance and repair maintenance on utility plants and equipment. The contractor will be required to operate, maintain and repair all mechanical, electrical and utility systems in four buildings which include 1) Consolidated Computer Room, 2) Central Utility Plant, 3) Incinerator Building, and 4) Electrical Sub-Station. Three of the buildings include distribution of high voltage electricity, high temperature hot water (HTHW), chilled water (CHW). The requirement includes operations, maintenance and management of repair of all underground and above ground distribution piping and wiring and equipment associated with electricity, HTHW, CHW, PW (Domestic Water; underground piping only), valve pits and sewer effluent piping and fire protection distribution piping, and system controls up to and including the first cut-off valve or disconnect inside all buildings on the NIH/NIEHS Campus and between the CUP and the outlet of the isolation valve within the valve pits serving the EPA Campus. Contractor personnel shall have experience with various sizes and types of complex equipment. Examples would be experience with high temperature hot water generators (40 MBTU each), water chillers (greater than 2,000 tons each), electrical substation distribution (13,800 volts), hazardous waste incineration, wet scrubber operation and the operations of facilities that contain multipurpose laboratories to include animal laboratories. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: All questions concerning this solicitation must be directed in writing via email to ervin.spivey@nih.gov. No questions or inquiries will be accepted by telephone. The distribution of the resulting solicitation will be accomplished solely through FedBizOpps website. Hard copies of the solicitation documents will not be available; therefore, no written, telephone, or facsimile requests for the documents will be accepted.
