- Description
- High Pressure Fire Loop Project at the B&W Pantex Plant Babcock & Wilcox Technical Services Pantex LLC (B&W Pantex) is seeking companies experienced in the underground installation of high density polyethylene pipe (HDPE) for fire-suppression systems. Further to the goal of B&W Pantex to utilize small businesses, B&W Pantex will allow small businesses to team with other companies(small business to large business) to perform this project. B&W Pantex is interested in a company that has a core competency required for the opportunity at hand, a proven track record for performance, a good safety record, and the necessary financial stability to bond this project and perform the work. Other teaming relations one might consider are: mentor protégé and small business to small business. BACKGROUND: Babcock & Wilcox Technical Services Pantex LLC (B&W Pantex) is the Operating and Maintenance (O&M) Contractor for the U.S Government Department of Energy (DOE) Pantex Plant located near Amarillo, TX. PURPOSE: This contract will provide construction services for the replacement of the existing cast iron and ductile iron High Pressure Fire Loop (HPFL) underground piping and valves at the Pantex Plant. The existing pipe is to be replaced with HDPE. The construction activities are to be planned and executed in such a way to minimize interruption of fire protection services to the various site facilities. SYSTEM DESCRIPTON: The HPFL is designed to provide non-potable water to various site facility fire suppression (sprinkler) systems. The distribution system is arranged to afford at least two flow paths to each facility on the grid with valves to isolate sections while maintaining water supply to the remainder of facilities. The current system consists predominantly of ductile and cast iron pipe. Pipe sizes range from 6 inches to 14 inches in diameter. Fire hydrants connected to the system are located throughout the areas served. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this project is to enhance the reliability of the HPFL. The current system comprised of ductile iron and cast iron piping is aged and prone to corrosion-induced failures. The facilities rely on the HPFL to provide fire protection water in accordance with the Pantex plant site Technical Safety Requirements. The Contractor shall furnish equipment, material procurements, construction services, start-up testing, plant personnel training, and completion of project closeout documentation (such as submittal of as-built drawing “mark-ups” and NQA-1 project documents) for the HPFL project. SCHEDULE Construction shall be completed no later than 730 calendar days from Notice of Award. ESTIMATED COST RANGE The total cost of this project is estimated to be more than $10,000,000.00 SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION: Although this project is not being solicited as a small business set-aside, small business participation is important to the corporate goals of B&W Pantex. Teaming arrangements involving small businesses proposed for the Request for Proposal (RFP) are encouraged provided that the Offeror can demonstrate that the relationships are established ones with proven track records of successful construction projects similar in scope to this RFP. *********************************************************************** All questions whether technical or contractual, must be sent electronically to Bill Cover at bcover@pantex.com.
