This is a Statement of Work (SOW) for the replacement of a motor on Chiller #8 at the USDA National Centers for Animal Health (NCAH) facility in Ames, Iowa.

The contractor's technical requirements include providing a crane for motor delivery and offloading, installing the motor on the chiller using the crane, coupling the motor to the compressor with proper alignment verification, and performing start-up procedures to confirm proper chiller operation. All work must comply with EPA refrigerant regulations. Access to the facility is limited to normal business hours (excluding nights, weekends, and holidays) unless alternative arrangements are made with two weeks' notice. All contractor personnel must be U.S. citizens with valid Real IDs, must check in at the main gate daily for contractor passes, and must be accompanied by a USDA escort while on-site.

2.0 Background: The National Centers for Animal Health (NCAH) campus is located at 1920 Dayton Ave. Ames IA. The USDA/NCAH campus is a premier facility dedicated to safeguarding animal health through advanced research, diagnostics, and disease control measures, comprising of National Animal Disease Center NADC), National Veterinary Services Laboratories (NVSL, and the Center for Veterinary Biologics (CVB). The NCAH serves as a critical hub for addressing both endemic and foreign animal diseases. These facilities conduct vital work in biosafety levels (BSL) 2 and 3 laboratories, involving the study of zoonotic diseases, vaccine development, and diagnostic testing. Established to enhance the USDA’s capacity to support the livestock industry and protect public health, the NCAH is equipped with state-of-art laboratories and containment facilities. The center’s mission aligns with the USDA’s broader goals of ensuring a safe, abundant food supply, and improving animal health and welfare through scientific excellence and innovation.
The NCAH central utility plant provides chilled water throughout the campus for animal containment areas, offices, and laboratories. The chiller in question is an extremely important part of being able to provide cooling for these areas. Without the repairs, animals, equipment, and personnel would be under undue hardship with the possibility of loss of animal life and scientific data.
