Please note that this is NOT a request for SF330's or proposals, the Government is seeking information for market research purposes only. The Government may or may not issue solicitation documents. The Richard L Roudebush VA Medical Center (RLR VAMC), Indianapolis, IN, is conducting a market survey for qualified (1) Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB): (2) Veteran Owned Small Businesses (VOSB); (3) 8(a) contractors, (4) HUBZone Small Businesses, (5) Women Owned Small Businesses (WOSB), (6) Small Business, etc, capable of providing the required services outlined below for the VA Medical Center located in Indianapolis, IN. Applicable NAICS code is 541330 size standard $15 million. Responses to this notice must be submitted in writing (email preferred) and received no later than November 10, 2015. No telephone inquiries will be accepted or returned. Additional information about this project may be issued under a different solicitation number on the Federal Business Opportunities website http://www.fbo.gov once available. Prospective SDVOSB firms are reminded that in accordance with VA Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) 852.219-10, at least 50 percent of the cost of personnel for contract performance of the contract shall be spent for employees of the SDVOSB concern or employees of other eligible service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns. Scope of project: The A/E design firm shall furnish all necessary architectural and engineering resources to provide a complete construction design and construction period services package for the replacement, repair or refurbishment of multiple Air Handling Units (AHUs) identified. AE shall provide engineering and design services necessary to furnish: Schematics, Design Development, Construction Documents, Technical Specifications, Construction Period Services, Site Visits, Cost Estimates, As-Built Documentation, and all other related information for the Project 583-15-101, Replace Air Handlers Design. All AHUs under consideration currently serve different portions of Bldg. 1 which is occupied with patients and staff. Any design must allow for the continuous operation of the Medical Center with minimal disruption to the delivery of patient care. For each of the AHUs under consideration, A/E design firm shall address the following: Provide a description of the existing and proposed HVAC systems and equipment, to include the mechanical condition and any functional deficiencies of existing equipment. Investigate the availability of utilities (electricity, steam, or hot water) for the HVAC equipment and provide description of their status. Indicate the tentative locations of proposed HVAC equipment, including any outdoor equipment. Determine the condition and availability of any spare capacity of the existing systems. Include specific recommendations for meeting the HVAC needs of the project in accordance with latest ASHRAE Standards and VA criteria. Describe the tentative zoning of the spaces, including those proposed with dedicated HVAC systems. Describe the locations of the proposed equipment serving each zone, focusing on the serviceability and maintainability of each major piece of equipment. Provide complete engineering criteria and rationale used for selecting a particular HVAC system, including life cycle cost analysis. Coordinate with the VA HVAC Design Manual to determine the restrictions on the system type and capacity limitations. Include all zone level and space level assumptions and parameters to be used in the analysis. Areas with particularly high internal heat loads should be identified as priorities for redesign of existing systems, with the design goal of optimizing outdoor air temperature reset on chilled water supply temperature setpoint. Simultaneous heating and cooling shall be minimized, except where required for dehumidification. Define energy conservation measures proposed to be used in the HVAC system design. Refer to VA guidelines for the mandated energy conservation requirements and energy consumption goals. State the logic and criteria for selecting each conservation measure. Develop a detailed phasing plan for the execution of all HVAC work, to include demolition, equipment placement and coordination with electrical, plumbing, sheet metal, fire alarm, controls and insulation disciplines. Include infection control and life safety procedures. Work to be performed includes testing the airflow and water flow balance of the AHU, to include system support components, such as heat exchangers, chilled water supply, circulation pumps and all distribution ductwork, including general and dedicated exhaust. Design would determine if the air supply volume and temperature requirements for specialized areas, such as clinical and research laboratories, operating rooms, intensive care and isolation rooms, sterile processing areas to include storage of sterile goods, contaminated material handling and storage areas, pharmacy and medical supply storage, food storage and preparation, information technology and communications equipment. All AHUs should be replaced with energy saving type AHUs with the possibility of adding heat recovery units to all of the new Air Handling Units. The use of mixed-air units is also an alternative to heat recovery systems depending on the function of the space served. The A/E design shall meet all VA space criteria requirements, VA HVAC design specific requirements, and all building codes, NFPA, NEC, OSHA, ASHRAE requirements. All requirements for Infection Control, Construction Waste Management, Life Safety Measures, and construction work permitting shall be provided by the VA to the A/E design firm for inclusion in the Project Specifications. The A/E Design Firm shall incorporate a Quality Assurance review, either internally or through the use of a third party, for each level of submission under this contract. Defects of a clerical nature or incomplete corrections from earlier VA reviews of prior design submissions will not constitute reason for delay or compensation. The A/E design firm shall provide evidence of prior experience as well as provide referenced projects of similar size, scope, and design regarding the type of work mentioned above. The A/E firm shall provide and present a detailed project work plan, including schedule, explicit phasing directions, space access and occupancy schedules, work schedules to include off-shift, weekend and holiday work requirements, staging and shop areas, construction waste management, infection and noise control, life safety compliance, wall material and finish schedules in areas where demolition of walls for access is required, work turnaround requirements, property protection and cleanup/restoration requirements. For equipment above ground level that requires lifting, a detailed site plan for lifting equipment, whether ground or air based, shall be provided, to include areas requiring evacuation, safety zones and demarcation, placement plans for ground-based equipment including load bearing capability of underground utility systems and soil suitability, overhead utility and obstruction avoidance, circulation plans to include routine and emergency access, pedestrian access control, and time of day/day of week definition to minimize patient care disruption. Anticipated time for completion of design is approximately 251 calendar days including time for VA reviews. The A/E firm shall also be required to perform construction period services after award of the construction project contract. In accordance with VAAR 836.204, the estimated magnitude of the resulting construction price range is estimated to be between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code is 541330, small business size standard of $15M in average annual receipts for the preceding three years. Interested firms must be registered in SAM.gov and qualified as a small business under this NAICS code. Qualified service disabled veteran owned businesses are encouraged to respond and register in the VetBiz registry. The response to this notice shall be in summary format and shall not exceed two (2) pages and include the following: Company name, DUNS number, social economic category (small business, SDVOSB, 8(a), etc), address, point of contact, telephone number and email address, sample information on same or similar type projects completed.
