Description

3 of 14 ACQUISITION INFORMATION: The VA Medical Center (CVAMC) in Coatesville, PA is seeking professional Architect and Engineering (A&E) services for Project No. 542-11-103, Upgrade HVAC & Fan Coil Units Building 57. This announcement is being issued in accordance with the Selection of Architects and Engineering firms (Public Law 92-582) and implemented in the Federal Acquisitions Regulations (FAR) Part 36. Architectural and Engineering (A&E) firms permitted by law to practice the professions of architecture or engineering are requested to send two copies of an SF 330 (8/2016 Edition) and CD from qualified and eligible firms classified as 100% SERVICE DISABLED VETERAN OWNED SMALL BUSINESS CONCERNS. Firms will be selected for negotiation based on demonstrated competence and qualifications for the required work. This is not a Request for Proposal and an award will not be made with this announcement. This announcement is a request for SF 330s from qualified firms that meet the professional and set aside requirements listed in this announcement. GENERAL SCOPE OF WORK: The consultant shall provide all architectural and engineering services as defined to accomplish complete contract drawings, specifications, technical reports and cost estimates for the scope of work. Existing Buiding Overview: Building #57 is a building located within this campus s second oval constructed in the early 1940 s time frame and is a brick and masonry constructed building consisting of 2 floors and the basement which is at ground level for the most part. Scope of Work: A. Existing HVAC Systems Overview: Ventilation Systems: Building 57 is ventilated by two 100 percent outside air modular air handling units (AHU) located in the attic. Each of these existing units have a two-bank pre-filter section with 30 percent panel and 85 percent bag filters, energy recovery coil, steam pre-heat coil, direct steam humidifier, chilled water cooling coil and supply fan. The energy recovery coils for both AHU were part of an energy recovery runaround loop utilizing 30 percent ethylene glycol. This energy recovery loop has been abandoned. Heating System: A steam PRV in the basement mechanical room reduces medium pressure steam (approximately 60 psi) from the central boiler plant to LPS (approximately 15 psi) for the AHU steam pre-heat coils and for the steam to heating water converter. This heating water is pumped by two lead/lag end suction pumps located in the basement mechanical room to 4-pipe fan coil units (FCU) throughout the building. Cooling System: Chilled water from the central chiller plant is pumped by secondary chilled water pumps located in the basement mechanical room to the AHU cooling coils and to FCU located throughout the building. This chilled water system is being converted to a variable flow system. B. Project HVAC Scope: The project will comprehensively renovate the attic mechanical room and subbasement pump/service room, and will upgrade the HVAC system, including replacement of all fan coil units within this building for this project. This project includes the replacement of all of the building's main HVAC equipment and shall include all necessary work for complete and functional systems in accordance with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) requirements, industry standards and all applicable code requirements. The systems and equipment must maximize energy efficiency to the extent practical. In general, the redesigned HVAC system must condition the building without the use of FCU except where allowed by VA Central Office. This project must provide complete functioning systems in existing-to-remain areas of the building. The scope of work includes but is not limited to the following: Evaluation of existing conditions, Architectural programming and design charrettes as required, Sizing calculations, Providing recommendations and cost estimates, Implementing value-engineering decisions to meet required construction budget, Involvement of a certified industrial hygienist (CIH) to incorporate the necessary guidance in the construction documents as applicable, Providing submittals and final documents as indicated below. C. The Following Investigative Work shall also be included Within the Scope of this Project: Perform a Code analysis to insure that the applicable Codes are being applied. Provide any civil, structural, architectural, electrical and mechanical investigative work necessary for properly designed and coordinated systems and elements. Prepare any measured drawings of existing systems or facility required to insure the accuracy of your design. Take digital photos of site major features and connection points. Digital format must be compatible with VA software. VAMC Coatesville photo ID badges are required to be worn by all A/E personnel during all project site visits. D. Other Complete review and analysis of contractor's project cost proposals. Provide a Commissioning agent acceptable to both the A/E as well as the VA to commission the necessary systems as required by VA standards for Commissioning at the end of the project as well as be involved during the design period. The A/E shall check Government furnished and/or the Construction Contractor's shop drawings, detail drawings, schedules, descriptive literature and samples, testing labor atory reports, field test data and review the color, texture and suitability of materials for conformity with the design concept and construction documents. The A/E shall recommend approval, disapproval, or other suitable disposition. He shall evaluate the submittals with reference to any companion submittals that constitute a system. When necessary, the A/E shall, through the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), request the Contractor to submit related components of a system before acting on a single component. The A/E may be required to hold joint reviews with the VA technical staff on complicated system submittals. The A/E shall notify the COR in writing of any and all deviations from the requirements of the construction documents that he has found in the Construction Contractor's submittals. Such responsibility shall be carried out with reasonable promptness as to cause no delay. Construction period site visits as required.
