Gas Meter Replacement

The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command is seeking sources for a Gas Meter Replacement project at Travis Air Force Base in California. The procurement involves replacing gas meters across 10 different buildings, with a comprehensive requirement for contractors to provide all labor, materials, and supervision for the installation. Contractors must comply with Uniform Plumbing Code, NFPA standards 54/58, and International Building Code requirements, and will need to demonstrate capability to install analog gas meters with AMRS capabilities, pulse kits, and associated components like shutoff valves and earthquake valves. The Sources Sought notice requires interested parties to submit detailed response packages by February 20, 2025, at 4:30 PM PDT, including company information, CAGE code, company size status, and a written statement confirming compliance with government specifications. Potential respondents must verify receipt of their submission by contacting Contract Specialist John R. De Pedro and are advised that all submission costs will be at their own expense.

The current solicitation is not set aside for any specific business category, indicating open competition for qualified contractors. While specific award value is not disclosed, the project involves replacing gas meters in 10 buildings, suggesting a moderate-scale infrastructure upgrade. The work is to be completed during standard business hours (08:00-16:00 Monday-Friday), with contractors required to coordinate closely with the Civil Engineering Squadron IT department and provide 7-day advance notice for any system outages. Installation requirements include precise technical specifications such as maintaining analog meters without batteries, ensuring proper labeling, applying corrosion-resistant coatings, and passing AMRS testing before final acceptance. Contractors will need to provide comprehensive working drawings, follow specific installation sequencing, and ensure all pipe diameters match device sizes to minimize unnecessary fittings, indicating a high level of technical precision will be expected in the final implementation.
