About this file
This federal contract opportunity notice describes an unrestricted invitation for bid to construct a new three-bay specialized hangar at Dane County Regional Airport-Truax Field in Madison, Wisconsin. The project involves demolishing an existing 19,875 square foot building and constructing a new 31,000 square foot hangar facility to support F-35 operations including fuel cell maintenance, indoor washing, squadron-level surface coating, and weapons load training. The solicitation includes a base bid for construction and two options relating to a paint/mix addition and aircraft-rated pavement. Interested contractors must attend a pre-bid conference and site visit. Bids are due in accordance with FAR Subpart 14.4 procedures. The contract has a 550-day performance period from notice to proceed. The estimated value is between $25-100 million. The NAICS code is 236220 and small business subcontracting plans are required. The solicitation and justification documents for specified brand name items are available on SAM.gov. Award will be to the responsive and responsible lowest bidder.

1.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Provide wet pipe sprinkler system(s) in areas indicated on the drawings .
Except as modified herein, the system must meet the requirements of NFPA 13 , UFC 4-211-01 , UFC 3-600-01 , and ANG ETL 15-01-03 . Pipe sizes must be determined by hydraulic calculations.
1.2.1 Hydraulic Design
1.2.1.1 Basis for Calculations
A waterflow test was performed on October 21, 2020 utilizing flow hydrants HYDR-6026-9 and HYDR-6026-6 and test(gauge) hydrant HYDR-6026-4639 and resulted in a static pressure of 90 psi with a residual pressure of 80 psi while flowing 2886 gpm. Perform a new fire hydrant flow test prior to shop drawing submittal in accordance with NFPA 291 . Results must include hydrant elevations relative to the building and hydrant number/identifiers for the tested hydrants, including which were flowed, which had a gauge.
This information must be presented in a tabular form if multiple hydrants were flowed. The results must be included with the hydraulic
SECTION 21 13 13 Page 3 calculations. Hydraulic calculations must be based on contractor performed flow test noted in this paragraph with 15 psi margin of safety .
Hydraulic calculations must be based upon the Hazen-Williams formula with a "C" value noted in NFPA 13 for piping, and C=100 for existing underground piping.
1.2.1.2 Hydraulic Calculations
a. Water supply curves and system requirements must be plotted on semi-logarithmic graph (N^1.85) paper so as to present a summary of the complete hydraulic calculation.
b. Provide a summary sheet listing sprinklers in the design area and their respective hydraulic reference points, elevations, minimum discharge pressures and minimum flows. Elevations of hydraulic reference points (nodes) must be indicated.
c. Documentation must identify each pipe individually and the nodes connected thereto. Indicate the diameter, length, flow, velocity, friction loss, number and type fittings, total friction loss in the pipe, equivalent pipe length and Hazen-Williams coefficient for each pipe.
d. Where the sprinkler system is supplied by interconnected risers, the sprinkler system must be hydraulically calculated using the hydraulically most demanding single riser. The calculations must not assume the simultaneous use of more than one riser.
e. All calculations must include the backflow preventer manufacturer's stated friction loss at the design flow or 12 psi for a reduced pressure backflow preventer, whichever is greater.
f. All calculations must be performed back to the actual location of the flow test, taking into account the direction of flow in the service main at the test location.
g. For gridded systems, calculations must show peaking of demand area friction loss to verify that the hydraulically most demanding area is being used. A flow diagram indicating the quantity and direction of flows must be included.
1.2.1.3 Design Criteria
