About this file
This Statement of Work (SOW) details a heating system installation project for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at the Rachel Carlson National Wildlife Refuge in Wells, Maine. The project requires designing and installing a complete propane-fueled heating system for a new 40'W x 60'L pre-engineered metal building with three garage doors, two man doors, and five windows. Key requirements include forced air or infrared tube heaters, exterior propane tank installation, proper ventilation, programmable thermostat, and freeze protection.
The contract specifies comprehensive design and installation tasks, including heat load calculations, propane system setup, code compliance, and permitting. The government anticipates a firm-fixed price award in August 2025, with a 45-calendar day completion timeline from the Notice to Proceed. The contractor must perform heat load calculations, develop a heating system layout, coordinate propane tank installation, obtain necessary permits, comply with local and national codes, commission the system, and provide owner training. Submittal requirements include manufacturer specifications, installation instructions, and warranty information.

PART 1 - PROJECT OVERVIEW
A. NOTICES
1. Project Information
Project Title: Heating System for Fire Building
Location: U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Rachel Carlson National Wildlife Refuge 429 Post Road Wells, ME 04090
Contracting Officer (CO): TBD
Project Engineer / Contracting Brian Waz, 413-253-8605 Officer’s Representative (COR):
FWS Facilities Manager: Spencer Goodrich, 978-518-9739, spencer_goodrich@fws.gov

2. Project Overview
Design and install a complete reliable and efficient propane-fueled heating system for a newly constructed 40’W x 60’L pre-engineered metal building (PEMB). The structure includes three (3) 12'x12' garage doors, two
(2) man doors, and five (5) windows (Refer to Appendix 1: Photographs). The heating system will be designed to ensure consistent, safe, and efficient indoor heating throughout the winter months in coastal Maine. The system shall accommodate high air-exchange areas due to large garage doors.
B. PROJECT DETAILS
1. Contract Work:
This Contract is to design and install propane-fueled heating system. The following system requirements are required but not limited too based on the design.
Heating Type: Forced air propane heater(s) or infrared tube heaters (based on usage and ceiling height).
Fuel Supply: Exterior propane tank(s) with regulators sized for demand.
Ventilation: Proper flue gas exhaust and fresh air intake as required.
Thermostatical Control: Programmable thermostat for zone control.
Combustion Air: Ducted or louvered openings for safe operation.
Freeze Protection: Heat to prevent water carrying equipment from freezing.
The work shall comply with all industry standard best practices, regulations, and materials.
