C1DZ--A&E Service to Bldg 17A&C HVAC project

PRESOLICITATION NOTICE

Project #659-20-202 Bldg 17A&C HVAC and Electric Power

The Department of Veterans Affairs, 1601 Brenner Ave Salisbury, NC has a requirement for a Architect & Engineering contractor (AE) to provide all administration, supervision, labor, tools and equipment, and perform all operations necessary to develop the construction project requirements and scope of work. This will require a comprehensive assessment of the buildings current climate control situation and current electrical power, and development of possible solution options to meet the project intent.

.

Bldg 17A is a Metallic brand all metal building approx. 60 x 50 , walls 13 (peak 18 ). The building is powered, single-phase, directly from Bldg 18 (boiler plant) and has a 100-amp breaker panel. Partial climate control, serving a partitioned interior area, is provided by one Mitsubishi R410A HVAC unit. The building is approx. one-half insulated with sprayed insulation of uncertain R-value.

Bldg 17C is a Kirby all metal building approx. 65 x 50 , walls 13 (peak 18 ). Bldg 17C and Bldg 17B are 3-phase and powered from the transformer directly across the road serving Bldg 16. Approximately one-third of the building is divided off and has climate control from a pad mounted Gree ductless split unit. Bldg 17C has roll-out type (batt) insulation on all walls and the ceiling.

Both 17A and C are equipped with overhead lighting and electric powered rolling doors.

Electrical. VA Electric shop believes the transformer serving Bldgs 18 (Boiler Plant) and 17A may be undersized. Our shop further believes the transformer at Bldg 16 (which also serves 17B and C) may now be oversized due to lower demand resulting from discontinued laundry operations inside Bldg 16.

Note: there is one unused (primary) power switch serving the area, located between Bldgs 17 and 18.

Current available VA maps and drawings of underground utilities and obstructions are incomplete. AE will provide field verifications and determine requirements for locating services as appropriate.

A/E will develop plans, statement of work (SOW), options and cost estimates for the following:

-Insulation

-HVAC

-Electrical services

-Emergency power
