Statement of Work (SOW) for HVAC System Replacement-PMIS 314962A

Project Title: Mitsubishi Mini-Split HVAC System Replacement Location:

Chickamauga/Chattanooga National Military Park (CHCH) Contracting Agency: National Park Service (NPS)

1.0 Introduction and Background

This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the requirements for a contractor to provide all necessary labor, materials, equipment, and supervision to remove and replace existing Mitsubishi mini-split HVAC systems with new, comparable, and energy-efficient units within designated facilities at the Chickamauga/Chattanooga National Military Park.

2.0 Scope of Work

The contractor shall be NATE (North American Technician Excellence) certified which entails at least 2 years field experience, that they recertify every 2 years to stay knowledgeable on new, efficient refrigerant technologies.

More information about NATE under 2.1. The Contractor shall perform a complete, turnkey replacement of the existing HVAC equipment as detailed in Section 3.0. This is a Firm-Fixed-Price contract, and the Contractor is solely responsible for ensuring the new systems are installed, tested, and operational in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local codes, and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Historic Preservation where applicable.

2.1 NATE Certified Technicians are required because many manufacturers only validate warranties if the tech is NATE, Installation results in better energy efficiency and lower utility bills, they follow precise specifications for less callbacks, and they are certified to handle specific chemicals (refrigerants) safely and in compliance with EPA. NATE certified techs ensure the highest quality of work.

2.2 The contractor must be certified NATE by reasons above and disqualified by same reasons above. Non-NATE certified will be automatic disqualification.

2.3 Best Value Analysis will be used for this contract.
