Description of Requirement: The Department of Veterans Affairs, National Energy Business Center (VA-NEBC) is seeking to fulfill the mandated federal agency energy management requirements of renewable energy projects pertaining to geothermal energy sources at up to three (3) locations. The VA is currently conducting geothermal feasibility studies at seven (7) facilities (listed below). Depending on the results of ground water temperature obtained from these feasibility studies, the contractor will be required to design-build a single well ground source heat pump (closed and/or open loop) or a direct use geothermal system. The system would be designed and constructed to meet the primary loads of buildings ventilation air pre-heating, and boiler makeup water pre-heating. The control system would allow for the heating of domestic hot water in buildings when excess capacity is available from the geothermal well.
