SYNOPSIS: INTRODUCTION: In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.215-3, "Request for Information or Solicitation for Planning Purposes" This Sources Sought Notice is for information and planning purposes only at this time and shall not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation on the part of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The Department of Veterans Affairs, Program Contracting Activity Central (PCAC) is conducting a market survey and is seeking potential sources for the construction of a Chilled Water Loop, a Library Air Handling System, and a Tank-less Domestic Water Heater at the Sheridan, WY VA Medical Center (VAMC). PROJECT DESCRIPTION: In an effort to reduce energy usage and the overall operating cost at the Sheridan VAMC a chilled water loop is being constructed. This project includes the construction of a portion of this loop. Another energy and operating cost reducing effort in this project is the construction of a Variable Air Volume cooling and heating system for the Library and Computer learning center. This project will use an existing air handler, and will provide new ductwork, variable air volume units with reheat coils, and exhaust air. This air handling system will be computer controlled, and will have night setback and airside economizer features. Therefore this system will conserve energy in comparison to the existing through the wall units. The final portion of this project will be the addition of a tank-less steam to water heater in the homeless shelter. Currently the building domestic hot water is coming from a tank type water heater with a large quantity of storage located in another building. Energy will be saved in a reduction of heat loss in the distribution system from one building to the other, and will not have a storage tank continually requiring water to be heated.
