2. Contract or Task Order Title. Switchgear Repair DISA Data Center (DC) Columbus (COL)

3. Background.

DISA Core Data Centers provide routine and mission-critical computer processing resources and support to numerous Government agencies, 24 hours per day, and seven (7) days a week. DISA’s operational goal is to provide high availability and redundancy to all supported programs and workloads at a Tier III redundant datacenter. Currently, the two generators feeding the essential loads in DC COL both operate when called into service. Only one generator is required to be running to meet full operational requirements. The second generator is a redundant unit that should only be running if called into service. The DC COL requires the generator switchgear (SWGR) to be repaired such that the redundant generator will automatically place itself in a standby state, ready for operation if called into service.

4. Objectives.

Provide repair of the essential SWGR and generator system to such that the generator with the most runtime goes into cool-down mode after the generators have been called into service and the system is stable. Repair includes the system simulator as well as the main control Human Machine Interface (HMI). The service entrance equipment (C and D Bus Switchgear) require Surge Protective Devices (SPD) to be placed on the C Main and D Main breakers as well. Additionally, the Electrical Engineering Studies need to be updated to reflect the current facility configuration. The current HMIs implement Windows 7 operating systems. Microsoft has announced this operating system shall not be supported beyond January 2020. As such, the three HMIs are required to be upgraded to the Windows 10 environment.

5. Scope. Tasks 1 – 6 outline the requirements to allow for the programming, purchase, installation of the equipment, and testing and commissioning necessary to meet the objectives stated above. Paragraph 6 below provides specific requirements to be met in achieving those objectives.

5.1. Task 1: Develop detailed project schedule.

5.2. Task 2: Reprogram the SWGR/Generator system, including the Control HMI and Simulator, to provide Generator Demand.

5.3. Task 3: Upgrade the operating system for all three HMIs to the Windows 10 environment.

5.3. Task 4: Purchase and install new SPDs into the C Main and D Main SWGR.

5.4. Task 5: Prepare and submit Electrical Engineering (EE) Studies for Government approval for the ENTIRE facility.

5.6. Task 6: Provide commissioning activities to verify proper system and simulator performance.

5.7. Task 7: Provide Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Training and Close-Out documentation for Government review and acceptance.

1. Specific Tasks.

0. Task 1: Develop Detailed Project Schedule. The Contractor shall develop and submit for review and approval a detailed project schedule with phasing plan prior to proceeding with installation. The schedule shall be updated to reflect current status a minimum of once per month. The project schedule shall be developed using Microsoft Project or similar program. The schedule shall use the ‘critical path’ method and identify all milestones. The schedule shall include start date, submittal dates, Authorized Service Interruption (ASI-see below) dates, other key milestone dates, and completion dates as a minimum. The schedule shall sequence work in such a manner as to minimize impacts to the facility mission. The updated Project Schedule shall be reviewed at Monthly Progress Meetings.

0. Task 2: Reprogram the SWGR/Generator system, including the Control HMI and Simulator, to provide Generator Demand.

1. Generator Demand functionality shall be a user-selectable feature of the System. It shall be made available via the control HMI.

1. When generator demand is selected and the generators are called into service, after the system is stable, the generator with the most run time will automatically go into cool down mode for the predetermined amount of time until it eventually shuts down. If for any reason the running generator becomes unusable, the second generator will start and assume to load for the C and D Bus. Submit a narrative that describes the operation for Government review and approval prior to implementation.

1. The simulator programming shall be modified to mimic the Generator Demand functionality of the main system. For simplicity, the Simulator software may either randomly choose which generator will go into cool down or may toggle between the two.

0. Task 3: Upgrade the three HMIs to the Windows 10 Operating System.

2. This activity will require an ASI (see below) to accomplish the work. The Contractor shall develop and submit a Method of Procedure (MOP) (see below) for Government review and acceptance 60 days (minimum) prior to accomplishing on-site software installation. The MOP shall include a back out and recovery plan to bring the generator and switchgear systems online if mission requirements dictate. The back out plan may be a manual operation of the equipment as long as qualified Contractor personnel are onsite to operate the equipment. In any case, the generators and switchgear need to be brought online within two minutes in the event the system is needed to support mission operations.

2. The Contractor shall upgrade the HMIs in such a way that the visual characteristics of the graphics on the HMI is identical to the existing system. Furthermore, the Contractor shall demonstrate the touchscreen functionality and controls sequence response is identical to the existing system. Compliance with these requirements will be encompassed in the Contractor’s test procedures and physically demonstrated on site.

2. The Contractor shall develop and submit test procedures that demonstrate the HMI has the same functionality as the original installation and meets all contract requirements. The test plan shall be coordinated with the commissioning agent and be an integral part of the commissioning plan.

2. The contractor shall verify that no other components of the generators, paralleling switchgear, or C and D Bus distribution switchgear are utilizing Windows 7 operating system. Report results of investigation to DISA Facilities Engineering.

0. Task 4: Purchase and install new SPDs into the C Main and D Main SWGR.

3. SPDs shall comply with the requirements of UL 1449, NFPA 780, and UFC 3-520-01 and designed to mitigate surges on the line side of the Service Entrance Equipment (C and D Bus).

1. In the case where a conflict exists between codes and standards that are not specifically addressed in this SOW, the more stringent shall apply. The codes, standards and publications most current at the date of contract acceptance shall be those referenced for the installation.

1. Concept drawings provided with this SOW are intended to define the scope of work and are diagrammatic only. The Contractor shall field-verify all existing conditions prior to starting any work.

1. The Contractor shall not operate any Government equipment without prior approval and direct supervision by the Government. The contactor shall take precautions to ensure no equipment is taken offline (power, information technology, or communications loss) during this project. No unscheduled outages of any equipment shall occur without prior approval from the Government. The schedule shall include all sequencing to permit the existing minimally-required systems “N” to continue operating without interruption of service. Any given “N” condition shall be kept to the absolute minimum timeframe to accomplish installation objectives. Service must be maintained 7-days per week, 24-hours per day (7/24). A sequence of events shall be established to insure that no service interruption to the building critical and essential systems will occur during installation of the new and removal of the existing electrical distribution system.

1. All conductors shall have color-impregnated insulation denoting phase, neutral, and grounding conductors according to the following: Phase A-Brown, Phase B-Orange, Phase C-Yellow, Neutral-Grey, and Ground-Green. Ensure proper phasing of conductors in all circuits. All circuits are 3-phase, 4-wire.

1. Tack pads shall be used at work area entry ways to prevent dust from being carried out of work areas by people’s feet. Clean work areas at least once a day and remove debris from inside the building daily.

1. DISA utilizes the term Hazardous Condition (HAZCON) to describe when a given facility is operating in a decreased state of reliability or operational ability. A HAZCON is defined as an operationally (not safety) hazardous condition in which critical or essential loads normally fed by redundant sources (N+1) are limited to one power source (N) or subjected to a single point of failure. It is permissible for the Contractor to intentionally place the site in a HAZCON to support the installation sequence with prior DISA coordination and approval. The DISA PM is the final determining authority to determine if an installation activity is classified as a HAZCON or not. The Contractor must indicate anticipated activities on their proposed schedule. All work falling into this category must be coordinated via Authorized Service Interruption (ASI).

5. ASIs shall be submitted to the Government 30 calendar days in advance. ASI requests does not guarantee acceptance by DISA Operations. The 30 calendar day request period should be sufficient but approval is based on DISA Operations acceptance and mission requirements. The possibility always exists that an approved ASI can be canceled at the last minute due to mission requirements. Normally, HAZCONs shall only be allowed to occur after normal duty hours, usually on weekends or at night. ASI requests should include a narrative that describes:

· The beginning/Ending Date(s) /Time(s)

· Total anticipated HAZCON duration

· Worst-case recovery time to return to an N+1 condition

· The portion of the electrical distribution system that will be de-energized

· The affected electrical distribution equipment The Government will issue a Period of Non-Disruption (POND) timeframe when HAZCONS will not be allowed. This usually occurs during the months September and October. The Government will make this information available to the Contractor as soon as it is available, usually mid-August of the same calendar year. ASI requests must be accompanied by a Government-reviewed and approved MOP, see below.

5. MOPs shall provide a detailed, step-by-step, sequence of events detailing the steps taken to accomplish the work while minimizing risk to mission loads. Describe all steps taken by onsite maintenance and project Contractor personnel to accomplish the work. This requires the project Contractor personnel to have a functional working knowledge of the facility infrastructure. The Contractor is required to coordinate and consult with onsite maintenance personnel to determine steps necessary to de-energize and re-energize equipment prior to and after Contractor installation activities have occurred. Onsite maintenance personnel shall operate/de-energize equipment. In sequencing the steps, the MOP should address:

· Individual Roles and Responsibilities

· Back out Procedures/Recovery Time to N+1 conditions

· Pre-MOP Coordination

· Safety, including Lock-Out/Tag-Out, Emergency Response contact number/procedures for contractor personnel

· Detailed procedures with Timelines

· Contractor statement that equipment is de-energized/ready to energize.

· Operational availability of Mission Systems

· Coordination procedures.

A representative sample MOP is furnished as an attachment to this SOW. Contractors are strongly encouraged to coordinate MOPs for approval well in advance of the ASI request. Because the MOP must be approved to accompany the ASI request, It should be submitted for review and approval at least 60 days prior to the projected HAZCON date supporting installation. The Contractor is encouraged to request over-the-shoulder reviews for MOP development in advance of due dates.

(vii) Proposal Organization:

(A) Volume I Executive Summary. In the executive summary volume, the offeror shall describe the significant attributes and theme of its proposal. It should be concise, to include addressing any significant risks, and highlighting any key or unique features, excluding price. Any summary material presented in the Executive Summary shall not be considered as meeting the requirements for any portions of other volumes of the proposal. Include a master table of contents for the entire proposal.

(B) Volume II – Technical/Management. The technical/management volume should be specific and complete, and will be evaluated against the technical/management subfactors defined in FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items. The technical portion of the proposal is to be submitted as a Microsoft (MS) Word 2007 or PDF document. The page format shall have a 1 inch margin using no smaller than an 11 point Ariel, Times New Roman, or Courier New font for all text to include any text contained in a table. The file size of each document shall not exceed 2MB. Using the instructions provided below, provide as specifically as possible the actual methodology you would use for accomplishing/satisfying the factors/subfactors.

In the Technical/Management volume, address your proposed approach to meeting or exceeding the minimum performance or capability requirements of each technical/management factor/subfactors, as well as any risks in your proposed approach in terms of technical/performance, price, and/or schedule. Address any technical/management risk by identifying those aspects of the proposal you consider to have the potential for disruption of schedule, increased cost, poor performance, the need for increased Government oversight, and/or the likelihood of unsuccessful contract performance. Describe the impact of each identified risk in terms of its potential to interfere with or prevent the successful accomplishment of other contract requirements (e.g., PWS/SOW or specification requirements), whether or not those requirements are identified as subfactors. Propose a realistic "workaround" or risk mitigation for identified risks that will eliminate or reduce risk to an acceptable level. Identify any new risks introduced by such risk mitigation.

Volume II - Technical/Management shall be organized as follows:

-Table of Contents -List of Table and Drawings -Glossary -Subfactor One -Subfactor Two -Subfactor Three -All other aspects of the SOW

(C) Volume III – Price. The quotation will be evaluated using one or more of the techniques defined in FAR Part 15.404 in order to determine if they are reasonable and complete. Reasonableness is established through cost and price analysis techniques as described in FAR 15.404. For a price/cost proposal/quotation to be complete, all solicitation requirements must be priced, figures correctly calculated, and prices/costs presented in in a clear and useful format. You shall submit pricing for the base period and all option periods, including option pricing for an additional 6-month period that may be authorized IAW FAR 52.217-8. See FAR 52.217-8 which authorizes the Government to require continued performance of any services within the limits and at the rates specified in the contract. The CLIN Pricing Worksheet should include a separate line item for the additional 6-month period IAW FAR 52.217-8. These prices shall be identical to the proposed pricing in the 6 months prior to expiration of the base period, or the final option period, if option periods are present. The total evaluated price will consist of the contractor’s proposed price for the base period, all option periods, the option pricing for the additional 6-month period, and surge pricing as requested below. The price proposal spreadsheet shall be submitted in MSExcel 2007 format or newer. All formulas shall remain present in the spreadsheet for verification. The file size of each document shall not exceed 20MB. Information beyond that required by this instruction shall not be submitted, unless you consider it essential to document or support your price. All information relating to the proposed price, including all required supporting documentation must be included in the section of the proposal designated as the Price Volume. The Offeror shall propose a fixed price payment plan as a separate document commensurate with the value of the deliverables and/or significant milestones in the PWS for this requirement. A firm fixed price payment plan with the total dollar amount divided into equal monthly payments will not be accepted unless the offeror provides justification for this plan that the Government subsequently deems adequate. The eventual awardee will be authorized to invoice monthly for all approved travel costs incurred and approved by the COR. Under no circumstances shall the information and documentation from the Price Volume be included elsewhere in the proposal other than Volume II, Price Volume and Volume IV, Contract Documentation, which includes CLIN pricing.

Price submissions should be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate their reasonableness. Offerors should ensure price proposals include detailed information regarding the resources required to accomplish the task (e.g., labor categories, labor hours, number of employees for each labor category, rates, materials, etc.). Data other than certified cost or pricing data may be required to support the price reasonableness of your quotation in accordance with FAR 15.403.
