About this file

This document is a Work Item specification for repairing the Air Conditioning Plant on the USCGC Hamilton, a Coast Guard vessel located in North Charleston, SC. The work is scheduled for February 23 to March 6, 2026, and involves comprehensive repair and renewal of the #1A refrigerant circuit, including replacing the 130-ton chilled water condenser, flushing the refrigerant system, and overhauling multiple components such as compressors, oil separators, valves, and transducers. The contractor must provide a qualified technical representative familiar with York 130-Ton HFC-134A Air Conditioning plants, ensure proper refrigerant handling with EPA-certified technicians, and perform detailed testing and documentation throughout the repair process.

The contract will be awarded on a best-value basis, considering factors such as prior performance in Contractor Performance Assessment Reports (CPARs), cost, and the quality of the bid proposal. The work requires strict adherence to specific Coast Guard technical publications and standard specifications, with requirements for environmental protection, refrigerant disposal, leak testing, and post-repair operational testing. Government-furnished property includes key components like the condenser and compressor, with an estimated total cost of over $123,000 for these items. Contractors must have a valid REAL ID and complete a background check prior to the performance period, and the contract is firm fixed-price with potential performance evaluation in CPARs.
