Responses to this sources sought announcement will be used by the Government to make appropriate acquisition decisions. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District, requests capabilities statements from SMALL BUSINESS GENERAL CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTORS interested in performing work on a proposed retrofit project, titled Solar Thermal Ventilation and Pre-Heat & Space Heating Enhancement System, Buildings 732 and 760, Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). This proposed project is located at the Defense Distribution Center, Susquehanna, New Cumberland, PA 17070. This project will be either Design-Build or Design/bid/build, using NAICS Code: 236220 - Construction of Buildings, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction. The magnitude of construction for this project is between $1,000,000.00 and $5,000,000.00. Small Business contractors must perform a minimum of 20% of the work. The scope of the project consists of retrofitting (constructing, and possibly the design) of two existing buildings (constructed within the past 7 years) with transpired solar collectors on the exterior pre-cast concrete panel walls with southern exposure. Transpired Solar Collectors will be required to have a minimum efficiency of 35 percent when tested in accordance with CSA standard F378.2-11 with the following test criteria: Solar Insolation value of 900 W/m2, High Wind Speed (approximately 3.4 m/s), and minimum Airflow rate of 2.1 cfm /ft2. Additionally, the project consists of procuring and installing fans and ductwork that effectively integrate into the existing heating systems in building 732 and integrating the Transpired Solar Collector into the existing AHUs on building 760, including all control modifications. This energy-renewable project is required to reduce excessive energy waste and to help achieve the Army's 2009 Strategic Energy Security Goals. Other project features include HVAC and electrical system modifications, testing and balancing, commissioning, Energy Management Control System (EMCS) connections, building information systems integration, structural connections, and architectural work. The project will require a measurement and verification (M&V) plan and system to include installation of meters, sensors, software, hardware, etc. necessary to verify and quantify energy savings due to solar heating, recovery of heat loss from walls, and energy savings due to de-stratification. The system will also have to provide continuous monitoring and provide the amount of energy savings calculated hourly, daily, monthly and yearly with readouts in MMbtu saved. ). Full design drawings will not be required, manufacturer shop drawings will be acceptable as long as they are sealed by a structural engineer for installation and contain enough information to construct the project. In addition, an energy savings calculation using the latest version of RETScreen or approved equal program will be required. Interested sources are encouraged to demonstrate accreditation by the appropriate professional organizations, such as ASHRAE. Interested sources shall submit the following: 1.

Indicate name of solar collector manufacturer used for each project and names of major subcontractors (i.e., solar collector installer, controls, M&V, etc.) For design-build projects, indicate name(s) of designers and how design team was structured (e.g., AE firm vs. design by manufacturer). Contractors with unsatisfactory past performance may not be considered capable of successfully performing this type of work. Interested sources shall include experience in the following areas within the narrative: 6. Sources interested in this announcement shall have knowledge and experience to design (as applicable) and construct transpired solar collector air heating systems. 7.
