- Description
- The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Directorate of Contracting intends to insert a brand name specification into a firm fixed price contract for Project Number VA-0007-2016, New Bed Tower, Tampa, Florida. The New Bed Tower is an addition to the VA's James A. Haley Veterans Hospital (JAHVH) campus. It consists of 222,000 gross square feet and will feature approximately 100 medical surgical single patient rooms and 40 intensive care unit beds, as well as assorted support, education and canteen service spaces. The integration of building systems for the addition with the rest of the campus is critical to the operations, management, and ultimately the treatment of patients at JAHVH. The design for the New Bed Tower calls for a Johnson Controls HVAC Direct Digital Control (DDC) System like that used throughout the JAHVH campus. As the New Bed tower is integral to the treatment of patients at JAHVH, facility operations, management, and protection systems must be seamless throughout the entire campus. The JAHVH campus HVAC DDC system is controlled and monitored by a Johnson Controls Metasys Extended Architect system with proprietary system software. This system is critical for the VA Hospital to maintain proper chilled water for all of the air handlers throughout our facility. The system controls and monitors all refrigeration units, freezers, and air conditioning. This system allows for streamline and single point of operation for HVAC equipment, collection of operational and utility usage data, and potential load shedding. This system requires hardware and software engineering, commissioning, graphics, device verification, and project management to properly integrate all components into the existing building automation systems. JAHVH must be able to efficiently and effectively control heating, ventilation, and air conditioning in its facilities, ensuring energy efficiency and comfort for patients, staff, and visitors, using equipment specifically designed to interface with the building automation system already in place. It is therefore the Government's position that because the HVAC Direct Digital Control System for the New Bed Tower must seamlessly interface with the system used throughout the campus, and that the Johnson Controls system is proprietary and any attempt to make it interface with other systems, if possible, is cost prohibitive, the Johnson Controls system is the only feasible alternative for the New Bed Tower. However, the Government seeks comments from vendors regarding its position and, if any, reasonable alternatives. Please submit all capability statements to Jason Dalton at Jason.J.Dalton@usace.army.mil. NO FAXED DOCUMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
