About this file
This Statement of Work (SOW) details a design-build project for repairing plumbing and HVAC systems in 10 military family housing (MFH) units at Moron Air Base in Spain. The project involves comprehensive system replacements, including installing new underground water distribution lines, interior plumbing lines, solar water heaters, and 60 BTU ducted split heat pump units. The work scope covers complete demolition of existing systems, installation of new plumbing and HVAC components, architectural restoration, electrical work, and system testing.
The project is structured in two phases with a total performance period of 400 calendar days, including design and construction. Key requirements include compliance with Spanish, US, and NATO regulations, environmental standards, and energy efficiency principles. The contractor must provide detailed design submissions at 35%, 65-95%, and 100% completion stages, with comprehensive documentation including technical specifications, drawings, cost estimates, and Spanish translations. The solicitation follows a two-step sealed bidding process, with technical proposals due by 29 July 2025, and subsequent sealed price bids to be submitted by acceptable offerors.

PART 1 - GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
1. This project is intended to provide new HVAC and plumbing systems for the following military family housing units on Base: 643, 645, 647, 649, 664, 668, 696, 698, 688 and
690. MFH units, currently there are three types of housing over 200 square meters. Type D2 are Bldg.
696 and 698, Type D4 are Bldg. 688 and Bldg. 690 and Type A3 are Bldgs. 643, 645, 647, 649, 664 and 668.
2. The scope for the plumbing system basically consists on the repair by replacement of all the interior waterlines. Additionally, new solar panels will be installed for units 696 and 698 and connected to its respective existing electric water heaters. This includes all underground polyethylene water distribution lines and interior PPR plumbing lines and accessories to supply the existing fixtures and conveying water in the residence from the exterior water meter point of connection to the installation’s water distribution system to each air-gap/valve. Water quality issues were identified at the housing units and tests done by Bioenvironmental Engineering (BE) showed small amounts of regulated metals present in the water supply. This project is intended to mitigate the water quality issues by replacing the entire plumbing system of each unit housing unit.
3. HVAC Systems are to be replaced due to their obsolescence and noisy operation. The return air from the HVAC unit is also to be redirected.

To include the flexible pipes and shutoff valves from the wall to every plumbing fixture/appliance for both, cold and hot water.
2.1.2.2.3. The Contractor shall utilize attic space above the gypsum drop ceilings and beams to the maximum extent possible and embed in walls to run water lines for each existing plumbing fixture. There shall be no exposed pipes, except in the electric water heater rooms and laundry rooms. Take into consideration that the current space above the gypsum drop ceiling is mainly utilized by the HVAC ductwork and further investigation shall be required from the Contractor to define the final piping route.
2.1.2.2.4. Provide insulation to all pipes.
2.1.2.2.5. Provide hatches on the gypsum drop ceiling as required in order to access every shutoff valve for future maintenance.

Provide new opposed blades regulation dampers to properly balance the air flow withing the different areas and prevent noisy operation. Replace current supply registers in bad condition and those not having regulation damper on it.
2.1.3.4. Provide ducted air return for each room, since the current air distribution configuration is preventing the air supplied to be effectively returned to the HVAC unit and facilitates the interior unit noise transmission to the occupied spaces. Pay special attention to prevent undesirable noise transmission between the different spaces, especially from the HVAC mechanical room. Avoid the return of air though grille mounted doors.
2.1.3.5. Clean and re-use the existing drain located in the HVAC mechanical room. If not possible, provide a new one. Exterior unit shall drain into a new dry well.

5.7.2. Size of Drawings: The A-E shall use drawing size DIN A-1 841 mm x 594 mm in all cases unless specifically directed to use another size.
5.7.3. Lettering and Shading: The minimum size lettering on all project drawings shall be
2.5 mm high. Make minimum gap between lines equal to one-half the letter height. Shading is not acceptable.
5.7.4. Scales: Locate it directly under the title of each plan, elevation, section and detail and shall be an indication of the scale of the object drawn (example: SCALE 1:100) on the metric system unless otherwise approved. In addition to the conventional scales, and directly to the left of the title block, shall be a series of graphic scales, which shall include every scale used on the sheet. Scales shall be placed in sequence according to size with the smallest uppermost. If it is not sufficient to place all scales on one sheet, each sheet must be treated independently, as the drawings used usually are reduced in size and not always at scaled. For these reasons, it is imperative that graphic scales be shown.

On individual sheets, if the shape of the area dictates, the North symbol can be oriented between these directions to accommodate the site. For example, on drawings having excessive longitudinal but limited lateral dimensions, such as those for roads and railroads, the North symbol can be oriented obliquely to make the best use of available space. All drawings of the same discipline shall be consistent in orientation in so far as practicable.
SOW 20 of 112
