Sources Sought Notice / Market Research for information on capability and availability of potential contractors interested in proposing on Firm-Fixed-Price Contract to provide operations and maintenance, and repair in support of Balboa Naval Medical Center. The intent of the contract is to perform plant operations, preventive maintenance, predictive maintenance, and repair of real property installed equipment (RPIE), facilities, exterior maintenance and repair, and supporting facilities in a continuous and satisfactory manner on a 24-hour basis, 7 days per week. It is incumbent on the contractor performing the operations and maintenance (O&M) services work to recognize their required, instrumental role in fully and effectively supporting the NMCSD ongoing activities, and to take all necessary precautions and protective measures to maintain full staffing resources and implement the required maintenance and operations activities in and around the potentially infectious patient care environment.

Work will vary from site to site and will require extensive knowledge of the functional operation of medical facilities, including equipment, facility support systems, and building structures.

Since the facilities will typically be in full operation, the contractor will be required to minimize interference with the daily operation of the facilities and will be required to implement infection control processes and to comply with The Joint Commission (TJC) requirements for work in occupied medical facilities. The contractor shall have a thorough understanding of, and comply with, the most recent standards established by applicable accrediting Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) such as the Joint Commission, the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC), The College of American Pathologists (CAP), the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB), etc., as well as other applicable industry medical codes and standards governing the operation of a medical facility such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), etc. Work may range from reconfiguration of a single room or repair of a single utility system component to renovation of a hospital wing to include both repair of failed and failing systems and components, and minor construction of new systems and components incidental to the O&M requirement. Key personnel, to include on-site supervisors, are required to hold an American Society of Healthcare Engineering construction certificate. For the purpose of this procurement an active medical facility is defined as a full functional facility with patients.

The following are the places of performance for the subject requirement:

• Naval Medical Center San Diego – NMCSD Balboa Complex, and multiple outlying sites

The anticipated period of performance is a base and three one year options.

The Performance Work Statement includes the following:

The contractor is expected to provide supervision, labor, materials, and equipment to operate and maintain the facilities systems and utilities infrastructure including recurring scheduled Preventive Maintenance (PM); Predictive Preventive Maintenance (PdM); Corrective Maintenance (CM); Service Orders (SOs); Unscheduled Maintenance and general repair work.

Services include but are not limited to general and specialized Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems; electrical lighting systems; production and generation of high and low voltage electrical systems; fire detection, annunciation, notification and suppression systems; security cameras, sensory detection, and infant abduction systems; plumbing supply, drain, waste and vents; medical gas supply and waste systems; facility interior and exterior finishes; wayfinding signage; support nutritional medicine equipment; Regulatory Compliance items (e.g., The Joint Commission, installation, state, and federal codes and statutes). All code required testing or certifications shall be the contractor’s responsibility.

The Contractor shall be responsible for verifying all existing conditions, quantities, measurements, and distances, as they are only used in the Performance Work Statement (PWS) for the estimation of the Scope of Work. The government is responsible for identifying the facility or location of work and shall not be held responsible for other inaccuracies.

All these special requirements combine to create a demanding work environment for contractors, where the contractors must be willing to take on the risk performing work that may impact patient health and safety and may even expose their own workers to toxins or infectious diseases.

This necessitates measures such as increased liability insurance, special immunizations for workers in certain facilities or areas of facilities, additional worker training in the use of specialized personal protective equipment, etc.
