The contractor must remove three existing York RTUs and install three new constant volume RTUs with specific corrosion-resistant features, including powder-painted steel casings certified to 1,000 hours salt spray test per ASTM B-117 standards. The workshop and warehouse buildings require two RTUs with 150,000 BTU cooling capacity each, while the gym requires one RTU with 80,000 BTU capacity, all at 460V, 3-phase, 60 Hz electrical systems with MERV 8 minimum return air filters. New equipment must include motor-operated outdoor air dampers, controls, thermostats, and building automation system connectivity with remote monitoring panels. The contractor is responsible for all mechanical, electrical, roofing, flashing, carpentry, and painting work; Test, Adjust, and Balance (TAB) procedures; startup and commissioning; and formal training to the Facility Manager. The contract is firm-fixed price with task orders payable in currency specified on SF1442, with no cost adjustments for material escalation or currency fluctuations. Work hours are 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM, five days per week, with potential weekend requirements if operations are disrupted. The contractor must submit detailed construction schedules, equipment submittals, and quality assurance plans for COR approval before equipment procurement, and any delays are subject to USD $500 per day penalties.

Warehouse, Shop and Gym HVAC equipment Replacement

12 APRIL 2023

1. GENERAL REQUIREMENT

The project is described as “Warehouse, Shop and Gym HVAC equipment Replacement”. The United States Department of State (DOS) requires engineering and construction services to remove and replace three (3) curb mounted roof top units (RTU’s) installed on the warehouse, Workshop and Gym at the U.S Embassy Compound in Paramaribo Suriname. The buildings are one (1) story buildings located around the perimeter of the compound. The intent is for the new RTU’s to fit on the existing to remain RTU curbs. The contractor shall remove and properly dispose of demolished equipment and materials or otherwise instructed by COR or Facility manager. This work will also include any necessary modifications to the building’s roofing/flashing, electrical, and HVAC systems and their associated components. The anticipated project schedule will be provided during the pre-bid walkthrough. The contractor shall furnish services under task orders issued by the Contracting Officer.

I. BACKGROUND

The Roof top units located at the warehouse, workshop and the Gym are required to be replaced, due to the local weather condition, high level of moisture and salty environment along the coast where the salts have negative impact coil fins and metal enclosures /surfaces.

II. SOLUTION

The intent is for the new RTU’s to fit on the existing RTU curbs with new like-for-like equipment as prescribed in Section 2.E in this scope of work under New Work - New Requirements. All roof top units should be replaced with powder-painted steel casing coatings certified at 1,000 hours salt spray test ASTM B-117 standards (to increase life expectancy, to include condensing coils protective layer e.g., OEM factory e-coats and spray-applied coatings) and other requirements as described in Exhibit E. This coating process is both cost-effective and provides a long-term solution against corrosive agents and can also include anti-microbial properties.
