Statement of Work Replace Fresh Air Machine HQ Big Cypress National Preserve

1. Background:

a. Big Cypress National Preserve (BICY) is a United States National Preserve located in South Florida, about 45 miles west of Miami on the Atlantic coastal plain. The 720,000-acre Big Cypress, along with Big Thicket National Preserve in Texas, became the first national preserves in the United States National Park System when they were established on October 11, 1974.

b. Big Cypress manages water flow coming out of Central Florida through Lake Okeechobee over the land as sheet flow through what is know as a River of Grass. The canals build in the 1950’s and 60’s divert this sheet flow through diversion canals and road canals. During periods of high-water volume, Big Cypress, due to the canals, diverts an extremely high volume of water to the city of Everglades City. Traditionally, man made structure know as ditch plugs, act to slow the volume of water down to prevent flooding in Everglades City. This water management technique is crucial to the homes and business in Everglades City and has become a major part in reducing the Service’s Liability risk in the local community.

2. Objectives:

a. Big Cypress Headquarters has 6 HAVC systems that are near or have exceeded their 10 year life expectancy that need to be removed and replaced with the same or equivalent to the existing air conditioners.

3. Place of Performance:

a. Big Cypress National Preserve (BICY) 33100 Tamiami Trail E. Ochopee, Fl 34141 Building A51, A54, A67

4. Period of Performance:

The period of performance is estimated to be 30 calendar days. Site Visit Date and Time is posted within the Solicitation Clauses.

5. Scope:

The planned HVAC units are highly energy efficient (20 SEER). Each unit will be equipped with a programmable smart thermostat.

The HVAC systems are near or have exceeded their life expectancy and are due for replacement. Increased unscheduled repairs coupled with the ever-increasing cost of electricity have created an economical burden on the limited resources available to the Preserve. The additional down time has had a negative impact on the employees, volunteers, and visitor’s satisfaction. Frequent extreme room temperature changes limit the use of sensitive equipment hindering the most basic operations Estimated annual energy savings of 20% or 28,000 Kw
