Description

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial services prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 12.6, Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested, and a written solicitation document will not be issued. This solicitation is issued as an RFQ. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2022-01 (eff. 12/06/2021). This solicitation is set-aside for SDVSOB firms. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 238220, with a small business size standard of $16.5 Million. The FSC/PSC is J045. The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office (NCO) 2 (James J. Peters VA Medical Center, 130 West Kingsbridge Road, Bronx, NY 10468-3904) is seeking to acquire services to restore their steam trap monitoring system. All interested companies shall provide quotations for the following: Line Item Description Quantity Unit of Measure Unit Price Total Price 0001 Repair the Gateway 1 JB 0002 Locate, Identify, Test, and Tag Steam Traps 1 JB 0003 Replace Transmitter Batteries 1 JB 0004 Ensure Transmitter Communication 1 JB 0005 Program All Equipment to Relay Status 1 JB 0006 Troubleshoot/Repair SteamEye® Gateway 1 JB 0007 Assist with Integrating Existing SteamEye® System into The BMS 1 JB 0008 Perform Pre-Commissioning Testing 1 JB 0009 Provide Manuals and Training 1 JB STATEMENT OF WORK General Objectives and Requirements: Title: Restore Steam Trap Monitoring System Purpose: The current steam trap monitoring system at the facility requires repair, upgrading, and expansion to ensure adequate and accurate monitoring of the steam traps, to increase energy efficiency, safety, and ease of maintenance. Background: The James J. Peters VA Medical Center (130 W. Kingsbridge Rd., Bronx, NY 10468) has a requirement to restore and improve the SteamEye® wireless steam trap monitoring system in buildings 100, 101, and 105. This existing monitoring system consists of transmitter models URFM4700 & URFC4700, SteamEye® Gateway receiver, and repeaters model RP4000. In a separate effort with Energy Savings Performance Contracting (ESPC), a contractor installed the same type of steam trap monitoring devices (transmitters) on the HVAC units installed at the James J. Peters VA Medical Center. Program Office needs to revitalize the existing SteamEye® monitoring system and register the new transmitters in the existing monitoring system (which is not currently functional) to be able to monitor all the existing and newly installed transmitters for steam trap failures. Since the ESPC contractor also installed a new Building Automation System (BAS), it is also in the scope of the ESPC to tie the existing SteamEye® (wireless steam trap monitoring system) into the new BAS. This will enable monitoring of failed traps from the new BAS. Previous configuration for the existing SteamEye® monitoring system was accomplished by allowing the Program Office to utilize a contractor s website to identify the failed traps, but this is no longer necessary with the newly established BAS. To incorporate the existing SteamEye® monitoring system to the new BAS, the Program Office has a need to repair and upgrade the existing SteamEye® wireless steam trap monitoring system so the Program Office can identify failed steam traps in real time and deploy a crew to repair as necessary. Failed steam traps allow live steam (not just the condensate) to flow into the condensate line, which creates energy loss and increases fuel consumption, an obvious energy inefficiency. Scope: All tasks shall be performed during a time and in a manner not to interfere with building normal activities and operations. Contractor shall submit work schedule to COR to ensure minimal impact to ongoing activities. Normal hours of work are defined as Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time, excluding Federal holidays or as otherwise arranged with the Contracting Officer s Representative (COR). There are eleven Federal holidays set by law (USC Title 5 Section 6103) that VA follows: Under current definitions, five are set by date: New Year's Day January 1 Juneteenth National Independence Day June 19 Independence Day July 4 Veterans Day November 11 Christmas Day December 25 If any of the above falls on a Saturday, then Friday shall be observed as a holiday. Similarly, if one falls on a Sunday, then Monday shall be observed as a holiday. The other six are set by a day of the week and month: Martin Luther King's Birthday Third Monday in January Washington's Birthday Third Monday in February Memorial Day Last Monday in May Labor Day First Monday in September Columbus Day Second Monday in October Thanksgiving Fourth Thursday in November Place of Performance: Tasks under this SOW shall be performed at the James J. Peters VA Medical Center (130 W. Kingsbridge Rd., Bronx, NY 10468). Period of Performance: Contract performance shall not exceed 60 days from Notice to Proceed. Safety: All work shall comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards. Contract Type: Firm Fixed Price Contract Information Security and Privacy Considerations: This requirement was assessed for Information Security per Handbook 6500.6 Appendix A and no IT Contract Security clauses, as found in VA Handbook 6500.6 Appendix C, are applicable. The C&A requirements do not apply, and a Security Accreditation Package is not required. VHA Supplemental Contract Requirements for Combatting COVID-19: Contractor employees who work in or travel to VHA locations must comply with the following: Documentation requirements: If fully vaccinated, contractors shall show proof of vaccination. NOTE: Acceptable proof of vaccination includes a signed record of immunization from a health care provider or pharmacy, a copy of the COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card (CDC Form MLS-319813_r, published on September 3, 2020), or a copy of medical records documenting the vaccination. If unvaccinated, contractors shall show negative COVID-19 test results dated within three calendar days prior to desired entry date. Test must be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for emergency use or full approval. This includes tests available by a doctor s order or an FDA approved over-the-counter test that includes an affiliated telehealth service. Documentation cited in this section shall be digitally or physically maintained on each contractor employee while in a VA facility and is subject to inspection prior to entry to VA facilities and after entry for spot inspections by Contracting Officer Representatives (CORs) or other hospital personnel. Documentation will not be collected by the VA; contractors shall, at all times, adhere to and ensure compliance with federal laws designed to protect contractor employee health information and personally identifiable information.  Contractor employees are subject to daily screening for COVID-19 and may be denied entry to VA facilities if they fail to pass screening protocols. As part of the screening process contractors may be asked screening questions found on the COVID-19 Screening Tool. Check regularly for updates. Contractor employees who work away from VA locations, but who will have direct contact with VA patients shall self-screen utilizing the COVID-19 Screening Tool, in advance, each day that they will have direct patient contact and in accordance with their person or persons who coordinate COVID-19 workplace safety efforts at covered contractor workplaces. Contractors shall, at all times, adhere to and ensure compliance with federal laws designed to protect contractor employee health information and personally identifiable information.  Contractor must immediately notify their COR or Contracting Officer if contract performance is jeopardized due to contractor employees being denied entry into VA Facilities. Specifications: Wireless Steam Trap Monitoring: System includes wireless, radio frequency steam trap monitoring equipment which alerts the moment a steam trap fails. System includes transducers which can measure a blow-through condition via ultrasonic test and via conductivity test; and a cold plugged condition via temperature test, in compliance with Department of Energy guidance to use two distinct methodologies to perform trap testing.
