The Cheyenne VA Medical Center is seeking professional architect/engineering firms to provide all A/E services 1) for the installation of a three way actuating bypass valve on cooling tower #1. Install isolation valves on towers #2 & #3 and connect all three valves to the existing HVAC control. Test and balance the system to cooling tower to design specifications. 2) Survey steam lines, fittings, valves, pressure regulators, steam traps, steam lines, and heat exchangers for leaks, piping, and insulation. Prioritize repair/replacement of the above components, equipment, and fittings. Compile estimated costs for each repair or replacement. 3) Replace Elevator #4 cylinder for installation of buffer springs and provide required bottom run. On elevator S10 install additional cage wall section and lockable access door to allow access of authorized personnel only. On elevators P6, P7, S8, S9, and S10 install door restriction. Replace or repair voice annunciation system in elevators P6, P7, S8, and S9. The AE firm will prepare drawings and specifications in sufficient detail such that qualified outside General Contracting companies can prepare accurate and timely proposals for the desired construction work. The AE firm is responsible for ensuring that the specifications and drawings supplied by the Cheyenne VAMC fully represent all of the work described in the Request for Proposal (RFP). Microsoft Project scheduling and management software will be used by both the A&E and Contractors to allow for regular tracking of schedules and work by the VAMC. Schedules with MS Project will be regularly sent to the COTR upon project initiation and whenever significant changes occur in the schedule. All work must be designed within a construction cost range of $500,000 to $1,000,000. Buildings are considered historic and AE will be required to coordinate with the state historical society. The AE will provide an initial estimate of cost to perform the above work and will design only those items that can be provided within the cost limitation. Submission requirements are the initial estimate and preliminary design submission, a 50% design submission, and a 95% design submission. The Medical Center must remain operational throughout the construction period and a detailed sequence of work will be provided by the AE to minimize impact of the construction. The AE will provide 4 sets of documents at each submission including a cost estimate and will provide a set of AutoCAD drawings and specs in Microsoft Word at the final submission. The AE will provide 10 sets of the final drawings and specifications for the procurement. The NAICS code for this project is 541310.
