- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) in seeking to award one firm-fixed price contract for the design/build of the replacement of exhaust gas boiler at Thule Air Base, Greenland. The design-build process awards one single contract that requires the contractor to design and construct the project. This procurement shall be open to Offerors in the United States and/or Denmark, only. This solicitation is not a competitive open bid and there will not be a formal public bid opening. Although the Government has outlined the criteria in the RFP that is to be achieved, the Government has left the final solution for the complete design to the Contractor and his design team. The scope of work is as follows: the design and construction for the removal of six (6) and replacement of five (5) exhaust gas heat recovery boilers and the relocation of the existing diesel engine air intakes and engine radiators to new elevated structural steel equipment enclosure/shelter (approx. 4,000 sq. ft. unheated space) with metal siding, metal bar grating floors. The work shall be accomplished with minimal disruption to current plant operations. The new replacement boilers shall be sized and designed for dual output, steam and high temperature hot water. The M-Plant is presently operating with five (5) Cooper Bessemer turbo charged, diesel generators (Model #LSV-16; 3,000 KW), which provide the exhaust gases to each boiler. The existing boilers shall be removed from their present location, and their replacement boilers shall be located within the existing confines of the M-plant building space; some associated equipment will require relocation, re-conditioning, or replacement. Additionally, the M-Plants ventilation system will require restoration.
