About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) file for a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) HVAC Chiller System Repair contract (Solicitation 140L1725Q0039). The Q&A addresses the contractor's inquiry about the project's objectives, specifically focusing on the approach to HVAC assessment and potential repair work. The key discussion points include the phased nature of the project, which involves testing refrigerant charge levels (Objective 1), potential repair work (Objective 2), and addressing any identified system issues (Objective 3). The government's response suggests a flexible approach to pricing and execution, recommending that the contractor price out base objectives and potentially modify the contract on-site to address specific system needs, while being mindful of potential additional mobilization costs if extensive repairs are required.

Q&A CAMN HVAC CHILLER
Q:
Objective One calls for an HVAC Assessment, which aligns with the scope we are addressing in our initial quote. To proceed with Objective Two, we would need to issue a change order for the repairs identified during the assessment, this would fall under Objective Three. Once those repairs are approved and completed, we can then carry out the work outlined in Objectives Two and Four.
Are we just providing a quote for objective one? Then providing a change order to complete objectives two through four? We can not add refrigerant until we have addressed what is leaking and supply a quote for the repair and the additional refrigerant that may be needed.
A:
Objective 1 “…Test refrigerant charge levels of both system circuits.” will tell us if we need the Contractor to perform none, one, or both parts of Objective 2; this is why we’ve identified those as optional.
If we ask for up-front pricing on Objective 2a & b, the pricing will almost certainly be based upon the total circuit system capacity as shown in the manufacturer’s documentation (44 & 58 lbs. respectively).
We’ll be paying full freight, even if we only need a few pounds to restore functionality to that circuit.
The cost per circuit is roughly $2k.
Therefore, it may make the most sense to have them only price out all the base objectives and do a modification for the optional ones. But the catch is that the modification would need to be executed while they are there on site, as to not kick in a second mobilization cost.
And the last caveat, is that we may be looking at a second mobilization anyway, especially if we have to act upon Objective 3 – maybe they find a broken part or compromised gasket.
