Description

Pre-SOLICITATION: A&E 442-21-012 OR HVAC System Upgrade PH 2 DESCRIPTION: This is a Pre-Solicitation Notice for the establishment of an Architect-Engineering (A-E) contract with services to be performed at the Cheyenne VA Medical Center, 2360 E. Pershing Blvd., Cheyenne, WY 82001. This requirement is being set-aside to Small Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) firms. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL; NO SOLICITATION PACKAGE WILL BE ISSUED UNTIL AFTER AN EVALUATION HAS BEEN MADE ON THE PROVIDED SF-330s. The SF-330 can be downloaded through the GSA Forms Library at: http://www.gsa.gov/portal/forms/type/TOP, scroll down to locate and click on the SF-330 hyperlink entitled, Architect-Engineer Qualifications. Please note: Funds are not presently available for this contract. The Government s obligation under this contract is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds from which payment for contract purposes can be made. No legal liability on the part of the Government for any payment may arise until funds are made available to the Contracting Officer for this contract and until the Contractor receives notice of such availability. Magnitude of Construction is between $2,000,000 and $5,000,000. Written questions pertaining to this requirement should be submitted no later than 1:00 p.m. Mountain Time (MT), Tuesday, June 8, 2021. Interested firms should submit their current SF-330, Parts I and II, to ilze.karklins-powers@va.gov The SF-330s are due no later than 1:00 p.m. Mountain Time (MT), Tuesday, June 22, 2021. SCOPE OF WORK: Objective The Cheyenne Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) is seeking a qualified A&E Firm to provide design and construction management services to modify existing heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems serving operating rooms (ORs)/ operating suites to bring them into compliance with current code and VA design standards. The anticipated cost of construction for this project is $2,550,000. Scope Field survey, analyze, and design upgrades necessary to existing HVAC system to bring four ORs at the Cheyenne Veteran Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) into full compliance with an approved equivalency to meet the VA surgical and HVAC design standards. The design will include the features summarized below in addition to any other modifications needed to have a complete and working system: Replace all diffusers in the ORs and clean core/ operating suite with a welded stainless steel HEPA filtered diffuser. Diffusers to include features such as dirty filter indicator, front access for filter change, and ability to challenge filter from faceplate. Design a properly sized laminar flow diffuser array in the operating suites in lieu of a laminar flow with air curtain system. Install two additional return grilles in each OR. Install booster fans, fan terminal unit, or fan powered diffusers as appropriate in each space where additional static pressure is needed to overcome HEPA filters at diffusers. Preform acoustical analysis where booster fans are added and provide appropriate silencers if needed. Validate the existing ductwork can handle the increased static pressure caused by the terminal HEPA filtration. Modify the after filter in the air handler serving the operating suites from a HEPA filter to a MERV 14 filter. Provide a DX condensing unit paired with existing DX coil in AHU serving the operating suites. Condensing unit shall be on emergency power. Verify emergency power availability in the penthouse, otherwise provide new feeder from the basement switchgear room. Modify AHU control sequence to enable DX cooling when desired discharge air conditions are not being met with the primary chilled water cooling coil. Provide humidity sensors in all four ORs and modify AHU control sequence to humidify/ dehumidify according to the space that is most out of the permitted range. Provide pressure independent return air terminal units for all four ORs to be controlled by pressure differential. Pressure sensors are present for ORs 3 & 4 but shall be added for ORs 1 & 2. Pressure differentials shall be visible on the building automation system. Evaluate temperature set back techniques to improve energy efficiency. Install occupancy sensors in spaces to control setback schedule. Create two computational fluid dynamic (CFD) models, one for OR 1 and one for OR 3, to ensure laminar flow diffuser array is properly sized to ensure proper airflow patterns and maximum air asepsis in the existing operating rooms. Also use the CFD model to identify the best location to add two additional return grilles in each OR to prevent recirculation/ entrainment of air from the non-sterile zone back into the sterile zone. CFD models shall be completed during schematic design to validate proper air distribution prior to design proceeding. In addition to the HVAC system the following will be addressed in the renovation of these spaces: Replacing the ceiling mounted light booms in ORs 1 & 2. Relocating one ceiling mounted light boom in OR 3 & OR 4 to obtain better lighting of the surgical field. Patch and paint all ceilings and walls in area of renovation. Replace lights in all four ORs with a sealed LED fixture suitable for use in an OR with dimming capability. Demolish abandoned pump and piping that previously served AHU-23 in ceiling plenum of OR 3 & 4 storage rooms back to mains in penthouse. Construction the walls surrounding ORs 1 & 2 to deck. Seal any openings above the ceiling in walls to deck surrounding ORs 3 & 4. Replace sprinkler heads in ORs. Provide a phasing plan to keep one set of operating rooms and surrounding departments operational throughout the duration of construction. Design shall be phased so that ORs 3 & 4 are renovated while ORs 1 & 2 remain in service. Once ORs 3 & 4 are in service, ORs 1 & 2 will be taken offline to be renovated. Whole system shutdowns will be limited to weekend work if possible. Existing ductwork will be cleaned prior to putting a set of ORs back in service. All outages and shutdowns shall be closely coordinated with the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) with minimum 2 weeks notice, any major shutdown impacting utilities to space (power, HVAC, medical gas) will be coordinated on a night or weekend. All work shall be planned and scheduled to minimize the construction activity impact on the operation of the medical center. All work shall be conducted with strict adherence to Cheyenne Medical Center and Veteran s Health Administration regulations, infection control requirements, and life safety requirements. Provide three (3) design period visits to the site. Participate in design review meetings for each deliverable over Microsoft Teams. Provide six (6) site visits during the construction phase of this project with a schedule determined by mutual agreement between the COR & the A&E firm. Provide on-site inspection with written evaluation and/or punch list upon completion of each phase. Provide all typical CA services such as answering RFIs, evaluating change orders, and reviewing submittals. Contractor shall place emphasis on cost and scope management. An estimate of construction cost based on level of design detail will be required at each design phase. Refer to the appended A/E Submission Instructions for Minor and NRM Construction Program (VA Guide PG-18-15) for minimum deliverable requirements at each phase. Also include any other submittal requirements detailed in this SOW. The NAICS code for this project is 541330 Engineering Services.
