Description

The VA Medical Center, in Oklahoma City, OK, is seeking Architect-Engineering (AE) Firm to do Increase Electrical Capacity to the 9th Floor at VA Medical Center, 921 NE 13th Street, Oklahoma City, OK 73104. This project will engage an Architect Engineering firm to provide Contract Drawings, Functional Layouts, Specifications, Construction Cost Estimates, Engineering Calculations, and subsequent Construction Period Services for the above referenced project. The project specifically will involve: Increased electrical capacity is needed to accommodate four additional server racks to be added to the main IT server room on the 9th floor of the medical center main building, Building 1 and to convert two of the four existing server room air conditioning units to emergency power. The new server racks will consist of three new equipment racks for RTLS and one additional rack for commercial PACS. Each new rack will require approximately 50 amps, but the existing electrical panels serving the main IT server room have no additional capacity. Additional critical power will also be installed to convert the final two air conditioning units from normal to emergency power. The two existing server room air conditioning units on emergency power do not have the capacity to cool the room on the warmest summer days. This issue will be greatly exacerbated with the installation of the new server racks. The new power will be routed from Electrical Substation #2 on the 1st floor, through the existing "A" electrical riser up 8 floors, and then across the 9th floor to the main server room. This will require the installation of approximately 200 feet of new primary conduit and feeders, main breakers, secondary electrical panels, wiring and panel breakers. The primary feeders will need to pass through 8 occupied medical center floors requiring core drilling through each floor in addition to the installation of the new conduits and feeders. This requirement is 100% set-aside for Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 541310, and the Small Business Size Standard is $7.5 Million. The construction magnitude cost range for this project is $1,000,000.00 - $5,000,000.00. This contract shall be a firm - fixed price. The area of consideration is RESTRICTED to a 200 mile radius of the VA's Oklahoma City VA Medical Center, 921 NE 13th Street, OK, 73104, in which either the A/E Firm's Primary or already established Auxiliary/Satellite Office must be located. Note: The 200 mile radius will be measured by one or more of the nationally recognized commercial free on-line mapping services from the Primary or already established Auxiliary/Satellite Office Address to the above VA address (shortest driving distance option). Contract Award Procedure: The proposed A/E services will be obtained by a Negotiated Firm-Fixed Price Contract.
