(ALTESS) Project Office Radford Army Ammunition Plant, Radford, VA

Part 1 General Information

1. General: This is a non-personal service(s) contract under which the personnel rendering the service(s) are not subject, either by the contract’s terms or by the manner of its administration, to the supervision and control usually prevailing in relationships between the Government and its employees.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: This non-personal services contract outlines the obligation to adhere to all state, federal, and environmental safety regulations while providing all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, specialized tools, materials, supervision, and other items for the Domestic Water System Upgrade. This service shall entail the removal of all aging and obsolete valves, ball valves, and associated piping, as well as all regulators, check valves, and relief valves associated with the upgrade. Provide and install all new valves (with ball valves) with piping to be copper, all regulators, check valves, and relief valves that all should be sized appropriately. These repairs and replacements are urgently required to prevent potential water shutdowns that could directly impact the cooling and heating of the building and server rooms situated inside the ALTESS data center located within the Radford Army Ammunition Plant, Radford, VA 24141.

The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. These contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor, who, in turn, is responsible to the Government.

1.2 Background: During the late 1940s, the Army completed construction of a covered and protected underground facility that would be stood up as an Army classified facility to support undisclosed work that would span numerous foreign conflicts and beyond.

As the Army’s mission and footprint evolved over time, the facility’s technological, environmental, and support requirements expanded to encompass advancements in data storage and processing, back up equipment and support equipment, and growing personnel. In 1959, the Army relocated ALTESS to the Radford Army Ammunition Plant due to its secure location and the presence of a fully functional, covered, and protected facility.

Since the construction of the building, the water lines, valves, and plumbing system have been maintenance and repaired, replaced as necessary throughout the years. However, over the past five to seven years, ALTESS has experienced an influx of personnel, mission workload increases, and usage that has placed a heavier burden on the water lines, valves, and plumbing system, resulting in increased decay.

To prevent a potentially hazardous shutdown of water systems that could directly impact on the Army mission, ALTESS is requesting upgrades to the current infrastructure of the domestic water system. These upgrades aim to bring the water system up to date, improve efficiency, and ensure its ability to handle the increased demand while also extending the lifespan of newer lines and valves.

1.3 Scope: The contractor shall furnish all labor, tools, materials, equipment, and supervision necessary to complete work associated with providing Domestic Water System Upgrade. This service shall include removal of all aging and obsolete valves, ball valves, and associated piping, all regulators, check valves, relief valves, and associated piping. Provide and install all new valves (with ball valves) with all piping to be copper, all regulators, check valves, and relief valves that shall be sized appropriately. Services will be located within the ALTESS data center on the Radford Army Ammunition Plant, Radford, VA 24141

1.4 Objectives: The objective of this service is to provide Domestic Water System Upgrade.

This service shall include removal of all aging and obsolete valves, ball valves, and associated piping, all regulators, check valves, and relief valves associated with the upgrade. Provide and install all new valves (with ball valves) with all piping to be copper, all regulators, check valves, and relief valves that shall be sized appropriately. rooms located with the ALTESS data center on the Radford Army Ammunition Plant, Radford, VA 24141
