Description

INTRODUCTION: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Program Contracting Activity Central (PCAC) anticipates soliciting bids and subsequently awarding a single, Firm-Fixed-Price contract for the construction of a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Plant at the West Haven, CT VA Medical Center (VAMC). PROJECT DESCRIPTION: In an effort to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption, the Department of Veterans Affairs has commissioned the design and construction of a Combined Heat and Power System (CHP) at the VA Medical Center in West Haven, CT. Two gas-fired turbine engines will be sized for a minimum of 1.2MW of power each and the rejected heat from the engines will supply steam for heat and hot water in the winter and will feed two new 800 ton absorption chillers, which will provide chilled water, for cooling in the summer. This CHP system will provide new, reliable, and efficient sources of steam, chilled water, and electrical generation for the facility. In addition, by capturing heat from the engines that make electricity, the hospital can reduce its reliance on the existing boilers which result in reduced source emission levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) and greenhouse gases when compared to conventional means of power, cooling, and heat generation. The project shall consist of a new three story ~18,000sf building addition to the B16 Boiler Plant Building for the installation of two gas turbine CHP units, two steam absorption chillers, emissions treatment systems, associated mechanical and electrical systems, and administrative support space. The new CHP addition and the existing B16 Boiler Plant Building are located on the back side (North Side) of the West Haven VAMC campus. The new CHP plant displaces a masonry enclosure which currently serves as the Sand & Salt Area. A new Sand & Salt Area with storage building is included in the project to replace what is displaced. Civil/site work will be provided to accommodate the new structure, pedestrian and vehicular building access, surrounding site access, site utilities, landscaping, and associated site modifications in support of the project. High pressure steam piping and chilled water piping will be connected to the existing mains in the B16 Boiler Building and B16a Chiller Plant. Electrical feeders will be extended around the perimeter of the campus to connect to the existing Load Center #1 which is located on the front of the campus (South Side) along Campbell Avenue. The Boiler Plant control system will be expanded and enhanced to incorporate the CHP system, to monitor control operation of the gas turbine, new heat recovery boilers and all associated components to track campus loads and cross plant operation. Plant controls' will also be integrated into the Building Automation System. The Building Automation System shall monitor/control the operation of the new Combined Heat and Power Plant, the existing Boiler Plant and the existing Chiller Plant. The CHP system's electrical output will be interconnected to facility's incoming primary grip power supply (13.8 kV) primary distribution system through new primary utility service switchgear and per agreement and compliance to interconnection agreement with United Illuminating. During CHP system normal operation, its power output will be delivered to the medical center's distribution system, partially offsetting power delivery required from the electric utility grid. Utility and owner required relaying and metering will also be provided to ensure safe, reliable interconnection to the medical center's electrical distribution system. ADMINISTRATIVE: The solicitation will be issued as an "Invitation for Bid" (IFB) conducted in accordance with FAR Parts 14, 19, and 36 and be evaluated in accordance with the procedures therein. The solicitation will be advertised as Full & Open Competition. The applicable NAICS code is 237130 with a size standard of $33.5 million. The solicitation will be issued on or about April 22, 2014. The period of performance is approximately 540 calendar days from the issuance of the Notice to Proceed. This notice is not a request for competitive offers. The Magnitude of Construction is expected to be between $20,000,000.00 and $50,000,000.00. All questions must be submitted in writing to the issuing office via email to donald.marsh2@va.gov. Telephone calls will not be accepted. -END-
