Replace Vacuum and Compressed Air Systems

Introduction

The Conte Anadromous Fish Research Laboratory has a requirement to remove and replace the existing laboratory vacuum and compressed air systems, with an option to replace the regenerative blower system. The point of contact at the facility will be a Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) appointed by a Contracting Officer (CO) with the Reston Acquisition

Branch of the USGS. A site visit will be scheduled, and attendance is highly recommended to observe the unique conditions that are present in the project area.

The Period of Performance for this contract will be 120 days from issuance of Notice to Proceed.

Background

Air and Vacuum:

The Conte Lab has four dry labs used to conduct fisheries experimentation. The lab was commissioned in 1991, the systems were sized to provide air and vacuum to four fully staffed dry labs. The compressed air system with air dryer includes a 120-gallon tank with a 10hp motor, the vacuum pump has a 120-gallon tank with a 2.4hp pump. The scope of the research has shifted, and the demand is much lower than what is provided. A downsized system will provide the capacity that is required while also saving considerable energy and space in the mechanical rooms. Both the air and vacuum systems are also beyond their service. Both units were also identified in the 2013 Condition Assessment as needing replacement.

Optional Regenerative Blowers:

This system is used to oxygenate holding tanks in the aquarium. It is currently mounted on the wall in the same mechanical room as the other equipment included here. The blowers are set up as a duplex system, but if one fails the other one must be started manually. One blower is beyond its service life and the other is oversized. The new system will feature two properly sized blowers mounted on an adjacent wall with check valves and inlet air filters, and a fail-safe system to start one pump in case the other one fails.

Scope of Work

Air and Vacuum:

• Accessibility: The equipment is in the second-floor mechanical room of the Research Lab Building. The only indoor access to the room is via a metal stairway from the first-floor mechanical room, which contains sensitive equipment and restricted access points that make moving the required equipment in and out extremely difficult. The second-floor mechanical room has double doors adjacent to the equipment which lead to the roof. The required method of removing the existing equipment and delivery of new equipment is with a crane.

• Existing air compressor and vacuum pump will be demoed and broken down into components which can be man-handled to the roof and removed with a crane for recycling. Unused concrete spring mounted isolating pad will be removed by crane and stored by facility staff for use elsewhere.

• New pump and compressor will be mounted on existing concrete spring isolated pads. Pads will be rotated 90 degrees and anchored as close as possible to outside wall while still ensuring safe working clearances and access for maintenance.

• Compressor and vacuum pump will be connected to existing piping.

• Compressor and vacuum pump will be connected to existing power sources.

• Both units will be tested for leaks and test reports completed.

• Mechanical room will be cleared of debris.

Optional Regenerative Blowers:

• Existing regenerative blowers will be removed and delivered to facility staff for storage or use elsewhere.

• Framework for blowers and electrical equipment will be demoed.

• Piping and wiring will be relocated from south wall of mechanical room to east wall.

• New stand for blowers will be provided by contractor and securely fastened to wall and floor.

• Blowers will be connected to existing power sources.

• New blowers, piping will be installed, including check valves and pressure switch.

• Adjustable pressure relief valve, pressure gauge and bleed valve will be installed on supply pipe.

Applicable Documents

• Contractor will provide a detailed safety plan in digital and hard copy form for all phases of the project, including plan to protect their staff from injury and to restrict access by facility personnel using barriers and signage. Plan must be approved by COR.

• Contractor will provide specifications of compressor with air dryer and vacuum pump including dimensions and capacity.

• Contractor will provide detailed technical approach with bid package. All logistics will be detailed including removing existing equipment, delivering, and installing new equipment to mechanical room.

• All personnel performing this work need to be licensed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts if required. All hoisting and material handling equipment must have valid inspection stickers and be operated by trained and licensed personnel.

Technical Requirements

Compressor Specifications:

• Commercial grade 5-HP 53-Gallon Rotary Screw Air Compressor w/Dryer, 460V 3-Phase 150PSI with continuous

100% duty cycle, integrated refrigerated air dryer, high efficiency electric motor, high efficiency air cooling system, integrated oil separator. Must generate minimum of 16 cfm. Noise attenuating enclosure with decibel rating no higher than 80dBA.

• Vacuum Pump Specifications: Medical grade Simplex vacuum system with single 15 cfm oil-lubricated, air-cooled rotary vane vacuum pump, 60-gallon tank,460V 3-phase, ¾” inlets/outlets, fully adjustable vacuum switches.

Optional Regenerative Blower Specifications:

• Sweetwater S-453-C or better, but specifications must match exactly.

• Pressure relief and bleed valve assemblies must allow for easy, tool-free field adjustments.

Worksite Specifications:

• All debris from demolition and construction must be removed daily or stored in an approved rubbish container and removed from the site at or before completion of the project. All recyclable materials must be delivered to a processing facility.

• All new wiring must be protected by metallic or flexible conduit and securely attached. Equipment must be properly grounded, wiring sized for amperages present, all connections to equipment to exact manufacturer’s specification.

• All work must meet reasonable standards for fit and finish. Piping will be plumb and level and fastened securely using proper hardware. All equipment and accessories will be neat and organized. Layout of equipment will be determined by consulting with COR, any changes must be authorized in advance.

• Extreme care must be taken to prevent damage to the roof or any part of the structure while moving equipment. Roof should be protected by plywood sheets in staging area.

Deliverables

• All work will be inspected and approved by the COR before the task is considered completed. Contractor will repair any deficiencies in materials or workmanship at their cost. The contractor will provide verbal progress reports to the COR or other representative authorized by Contracting Officer at regular intervals during the period of performance. Any delays or cost overruns will be communicated to the COR as soon as they are encountered. The customer reserves the right to have the project inspected for integrity and quality of workmanship by a third-party, including county electrical, plumbing, and building inspector.

• Any damage caused by contractor to facility will be repaired at their expense.

• The project will be considered completed and authorized for payment only when approved by the COR.

• All material and equipment are to be provided by the contractor. No tools, equipment or manpower will be provided by the facility. No government employees will assist contractor with unloading, installation or positioning of materials or equipment. Equipment may be stored in designated areas during the period of performance, but the facility assumes no liability against loss or theft.

• The contractor will complete the project within the period of performance (POP), any delays must be authorized in writing by the CO. Work may be stopped to avoid interfering with research projects. The work will be staged to allow access to the facility throughout the period of performance. Proper signage and barriers will be provided to restrict vehicle and pedestrian access to work areas and no hazardous conditions should be present in unguarded areas. All work must be performed during normal business hours, Monday-Friday 7:00 am to 4:00 pm. No weekend work may be performed unless authorized by COR. No work may be performed on Federal holidays without exception.

H.5. SECURITY REQUIREMENTS: FACILITY ACCESS and INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (AUG 2016)

(a) All Contractor employees must have an "Enter on Duty" (EOD) approval issued by the Bureau Personnel Security Office

(PSO) before they begin performing work on any Bureau contract. The Contractor must ensure that all employees requesting an EOD are citizens of the United States of America, or an alien who has been lawfully admitted for permanent residence or employment (indicated by immigration status) as evidenced by Immigration and Naturalization Service documentation and the employee must have resided in the United States for a minimum of 3 years. The EOD may be issued in advance of a completed Background Investigation and may be rescinded by the PSO at any time. However, all contractors who require network access are required to complete the identity proofing process, and must be able to obtain a successfully adjudicated

National Criminal History Check (NCHC) and National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) or higher to stay on the contract.

(b) Starting Work - Contractor employees with an approved EOD may begin performing unsupervised work on Bureau contracts. To remain on the contract, the Contractor employees will need a completed favorable Background Investigation.

(c) Rescission of EOD - The PSO may rescind the EOD at any time. This may occur as the result of additional information obtained or the final results of the background investigation.

(d) Background Investigation - Contractor employees who will have unsupervised access to Bureau facilities, access to the

Department of the Interior (DOI) information technology (IT) systems or DOI data, or will develop custom applications, must have a favorably adjudicated background investigation from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Existing clearances at the same or higher level are acceptable upon the PSO’s review and approval. If the employee does not already have a complete investigation, they must apply for one. The employee may begin work with an EOD, but must receive a favorable background investigation to continue working on the contract. The background investigation includes obtaining fingerprints through a USAccess Credentialing Center for an FBI criminal history and a credit report. Once the investigation has been scheduled by OPM, the Bureau will receive advance reports. If those reports are favorable, the Bureau PSO will issue the EOD. The type of background investigation required is based on the risk/sensitivity level designation. Citizenship requirements and guidance for determining the appropriate type of background investigation required for the designated risk/sensitivity level are contained in DOI Departmental Manual (DM) Part 441. The DM is available on the Internet at http://elips.doi.gov/app_home/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.

(e) Electronic Questionnaire for Investigations Processing (e-QIP) – The Bureau uses the e-QIP for all background investigations or reinvestigations. To initiate an investigation, the Contractor, in collaboration with the COR, will complete an e-QIP Request Form. This request form is available through the COR. The COR will submit the completed request form to the Bureau PSO. The PSO will enter the information into e-QIP to either establish a new applicant profile or determine if an existing investigation that meets Bureau requirements is on file. The PSO will then contact the applicant to provide additional information and instructions. Generally, the Contractor is required to complete the following forms:

e-QIP application (on-line)

Fair Credit Release

OF-306

Fingerprints via USAccess Credentialing Centers

The Contractor shall complete the required background investigation forms and submit them to the PSO. The PSO shall determine if individuals meet the required background investigation standards and citizenship requirements, and then make a suitability determination. Minimum standards used in suitability determinations are contained in the DOI Departmental

Manual Part 441. The Government will pay for any background investigations required for contractor employees. If the

Contractor employee’s background investigation is returned as unfavorable, the Government reserves the right to request reimbursement of the actual costs for the investigation from the Contractor.

(f) Reinvestigation - Contractor employees occupying high risk public trust positions must be reinvestigated every 5 years. A reinvestigation may be initiated prior to the normal periodic reinvestigation schedule when an individual’s continued ability to meet the minimum background investigation standards is in question. The electronic fingerprints on file in the USAccess system will be electronically submitted to OPM for the reinvestigation. The PSO shall review the records and documentation and make the suitability determination.

(g) Disputes - In the event of a disagreement between the Contractor and the Government concerning the suitability of a particular employee to perform work under this contract, the Government has the right of final determination. Determinations under this requirement are subject to the Disputes Clause, FAR 52.233-1. Failure of the Contractor to comply with the requirements of this clause could constitute grounds for termination for default.

(h) Physical Security Requirements - DOI Access Cards.

(1) Contractor employees must have a DOI Access Card before being given unsupervised access to a Government facility.

(2) To gain unsupervised access to Government facilities, Contractor employees must present their DOI Access Card for examination by the security guard or electronically authenticate their DOI Access Card, as required. Contractor employees must keep their DOI Access Card in a shielded card holder, and visually display the card at all times while in the facility.

Refusal or repeated neglect to display the DOI Access Card may result in limiting Contractor employee’s access to

Government facilities or revoking of authorized access.

(3) When a Contractor employee is no longer working under this award, the Contractor is responsible for returning all DOI

Access Cards, keys, and other Government property issued to that employee. The Contactor shall coordinate all returns with the COR. The COR is responsible for ensuring the Contractor complies with these requirements. However, failure by the

Contractor to comply with these requirements may result in the Contractor’s liability for all costs associated with correcting any resultant breech in building security.

(i) Issuance & Maintenance - DOI Access Cards

(1) Process: To obtain a DOI Access Card the COR will use the online DOIAccess System to initiate the access request.

Contractor employees will receive email notificat ions to enroll at a USAccess Credentialing Center with two forms of identification, and after adjudication, a second email notification to pick up and activate their DOI Access Card. The Contractor employee shall schedule an enrollment appointment at a USAccess center at least two weeks prior to the targeted EOD.

(2) Contractor Responsibilities: Contractor employees must complete actions in a timely manner to prepare for on-boarding and access to DOI network resources. The Contractor shall allow their personnel sufficient time to schedule and attend an enrollment appointment at the USAccess center prior to the contract start date. If the Contractor employee’s DOI Access

Card becomes lost or stolen, the contractor employee shall notify the COR immediately to request a new DOI Access Card.

(3) COR Responsibilities: The COR (or designated individual) and Contractor shall maintain a listing of all Contractor employees who received a DOI Access Card, the date the card was issued, the date the electronic certificates expire (3 years from issue date), and the date the DOI Access Card expires (5 years from issue date). If the Contractor employee’s DOI

Access Card or certificates will expire before the contract is completed, the COR (or designated individual) and Contractor is responsible for ensuring that the Contractor employee visits a USAccess center to update certificates on the existing card or obtain a new DOI Access Card. No later than one week prior to the DOI Access Card’s certificate or card expiration, the

COR (or designated individual) shall notify the Contractor that DOI Access Card actions are required. The COR (or designated individual) and the Contractor shall update their listing to reflect the new issue date, certificate expiration date and card expiration date.

(j) Information Technology Security Requirements.

(1) Training – If contractor employees require access to any DOI/IT systems, the Contractor shall ensure its employees complete all Bureau/DOI required IT security training. The Contractor’s employees shall complete this training before being granted access to Bureau/DOI data or being issued network access. The current training requirements are: (i) annual end-user

IT Security Awareness, (ii) annual IT Resources Rules of Behavior, and (iii) annual…
