Description

Page 1 of 3 (FOR MARKET RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY) Background: The Facility Management School (FMS) supports strategic VA missions by strengthening and fortifying over 30,000 Facilities Management (FM) lifecycle workforce personnel. Accordingly, the FMS provides the primary means to enhance the skills of the FM workforce and create a more comprehensive and structured approach to employee development. The competency-based curriculum offered by the FMS helps employees identify their training needs to assist with professional development, meet regulatory training requirements, identify appropriate training delivery methods, and track their professional development. The FMS serves as the primary focal point for career development activities for the ten main occupations/functions of FM: Biomedical Engineer Chief Healthcare Engineer Construction Manager Design Manager Energy Engineer Environmental Engineer Fire Protection Engineer Planner Project Manager Safety and Occupational Health Specialist Purpose: The FMS has a requirement to provide Building Automation System training for the FM workforce requiring practical skills to meet Federal Building Personnel Training Act (FBPTA) core competencies in the following areas: Energy Management, Facilities Operations and Maintenance, and Sustainability and Technology. Under Energy Management, FBPTA requires Facilities Management workforce to demonstrate knowledge of building systems and how building systems affect energy use (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning (HVAC), lighting systems, building envelope). In addition, the FM workforce must demonstrate knowledge of re-programming current systems and expanding network of sensors and control devices to optimize HVAC, lighting, and other automated systems. Under Facilities Operations and Management, Facilities Management workforce must demonstrate familiarity with building systems: HVAC, electrical, lighting, and fire protection systems. Demonstrate the ability to monitor and evaluate how well building automation systems perform. Under Sustainability and Technology, Facilities Management workforce must demonstrate knowledge of how to enter equipment in Building Automation Systems (BAS), participate in establishment of control strategies, monitor and implement overrides when necessary, monitor alarm procedures, monitor, analyze, and report on trends. Demonstrate ability to conduct trouble-shooting of critical systems: access control systems, fire alarm and suppression systems. Scope of Work The Contractor shall provide an instructor to instruct and manage student behavior in a learning environment for two hands on classes in Building Automation Systems: a foundational course and an advanced course. Contractor will assess and evaluate student s achievement. Through a stand-alone portable lab system with laptop attachment, the Contractor will provide classroom competency-based instruction at the VA FM defined foundational and advanced proficiency levels. The portable labs will allow students to exercise actively all the skills needed to complete the course and demonstrate competency improvement. The Contractor s instruction will provide students with the knowledge skills and abilities in the following areas/topics: Foundational: Identify and describe the major components in a BAS Identify and describe the basic mechanical components and controls in an HVAC control system Understand and wire field sensors and devices Describe and explain the basic functions of Direct Digital Control (DDC) systems Describe and explain Human Machine Interface (HMI) basics Explain the process of implementing and programming a BAS Explain basic HVAC equipment and Sequence of Operations Explain and confirm control components for projects Advanced: Apply and modify major components in a BAS Analyze the basic mechanical components and controls in an HVAC control system Modify wiring of field sensors and devices Apply a Sequence of Operations Critique strategies such as: Reset Strategies Sequencing Equipment Optimal Start Lead Lag Strategies Apply and modify Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) and Loop Tuning Discuss and describe Indoor Air Quality ASHRAE Standard 62 Apply BAS maintenance techniques Analyze BAS maintenance problems Instructions: Interested contractors/firms responding to this Sources Sought Notice must provide a capability statement demonstrating their skills and capability to fulfill the requirement listed above. Respondents shall also indicate whether they can provide Building Automation Systems training: foundational and advanced through a stand-alone portable lab system with laptop attachment in support of the Federal Building Personnel Training Act (FBPTA) core competencies. All respondents are requested to identify their GSA Schedule Number, if applicable; firm's size; and type of business based on NAICS 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training).
