Facility Location:

Department of Commerce (DOC) / National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) / National Ocean Service (NOS) Hollings Marine Laboratory (HML) 331 Fort Johnson Road Charleston, South Carolina 29412

Client Information:

The client is the Hollings Marine Laboratory (HML), represented by Richard Sparkman, Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and Supervisory Facilities Manager.

The Hollings Marine Laboratory, located at 331 Fort Johnson Rd., Charleston, SC 29412, requires the services of a company to provide semiannual and annual preventive maintenance for the five Hollings Marine Laboratory (HML) Chiller Systems. During these inspections, the company will troubleshoot, repair, or replace controls and primary pumps as necessary. Furthermore, the selected company must be capable of receiving and responding to emergency calls 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, within four hours of the initial request.

Objective The objective of this service is to obtain comprehensive, full-service semiannual and annual preventive maintenance for the five chiller systems and the associated equipment serving the Hollings Marine Laboratory (HML). These systems support critical HVAC operations in the H-Wing, NMR Facility, and F- Section. The objective is to ensure the continuous and reliable operation of these chillers and their associated components, with minimal risk of failure, thereby safeguarding essential laboratory functions and research infrastructure.

HML houses a diverse array of scientific laboratories and collaborative research programs. Uninterrupted environmental control is essential for maintaining specimen viability, preserving experimental integrity, and protecting the significant investments made in federal research. Equipment failure could lead to the loss of sensitive biological material, irreparable damage to long-term scientific studies, and financial loss to the United States Government. Preventive maintenance, under this requirement, is therefore vital to sustaining the facility’s mission and operational readiness.

Scope The contractor shall provide all labor, materials, equipment, tools, supervision, and reporting necessary to perform comprehensive preventive maintenance, predictive diagnostics, and emergency support for the chiller and HVAC systems at the Hollings Marine Laboratory (HML), located at 331 Fort Johnson Road, Charleston, SC. This service supports uninterrupted research operations, energy efficiency, and extended equipment life.

Maintenance Inspection

The contractor shall provide all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to perform one (1) semiannual and one (1) annual comprehensive factory-recommended preventive maintenance inspection on the five-chiller system and associated components listed herein. This includes performing all minor and major repairs associated with the scheduled maintenance services.

The contractor shall supply all required materials, including lubricants, filters, piping, electrical components, and any necessary consumables. The contractor shall also provide all labor, tools, test instruments, machinery, and travel expenses needed to complete the services as described.

In addition to scheduled maintenance, the contractor shall respond to all emergency and unscheduled service calls. The contractor must maintain a toll-free emergency service number that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The contractor shall respond to emergency contact within 30 minutes by notifying Hollings Marine Laboratory (HML) personnel of the assigned technician’s name and estimated time of arrival, which must not exceed two (2) hours from the time of the initial call.

Emergency conditions include, but are not limited to, chiller system failures or the loss of critical components such as pumps or control modules that support active research operations. All emergency services affecting research or scientific operations shall be treated as mission-critical and prioritized accordingly.

Upon arrival, the technician must check in and out with the designated HML facility maintenance representative and/or the service call desk. A service ticket must be completed and signed by HML personnel, describing the nature of the emergency, the work performed, and any follow-up actions. A copy of the completed service ticket must be left at the service call desk after each visit.

If additional labor or materials are required to fully resolve the issue after the immediate condition has been stabilized, the repair shall continue under the emergency service provisions until fully completed.

The services the contractor must provide at a minimum are preventative maintenance for one (1) annual shutdown and one (1) semiannual inspection of the following equipment:

Maintenance Frequency and Schedule

• Semiannual Inspections: All systems—spring (April–June) and fall (October–January)
