Synopsis:

Construction Project No. XQPZ 07-0303C, entitled 'Repair HTHW Phase 3'. The solicitation will be issued as a Request for Proposal (RFP) construction project, which is 100% SET ASIDE FOR Economically-disadvantaged Woman-owned Small Business firms. All offerors must be registered on www.sam.gov. The NAICS Code 238220, along with size standard $15 million applies. The procurement is entitled 'Repair HTHW Phase 3' at the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) in Colorado. Contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, tools and equipment required to perform work for this project at USAFA, Colorado. The Academy's goal is to replace the aging High Temperature Hot Water (HTHW) piping system in separate phases. The HTHW system requires supply and return piping for each loop. The cadet area is fed by one loop, the hospital is fed by a different loop and the community center has its own loop. This project will focus on the third phase on the community center loop and will replace the 8" Community Center High Temp Hot Water (HTHW) distribution system for supply and return. From Valve Vault (VV-8) the HTHW distribution system consists of a shallow concrete trench system running north to south from the Douglas Valley Housing area to the Community Center for approximately 700LF ending at Valve Vault (VV-10). Some of the piping is located in shallow concrete trenches and some of the piping is direct buried. Some of the existing piping will be left in place and receive new supports and new insulation and some pipe sections will be completely removed and replaced. The project will potentially require abatement of the old insulation, vault demolition and replacement. Since the HTHW is in operation, coordinating the times when the HTHW system can be taken down for repairs will be crucial to the success of the project.

Work is to be completed in accordance with the contract drawings and specifications. Any amendments issued to this solicitation will ONLY be available on the FBO website (www.fbo.gov). Offerors are advised that they are responsible for obtaining all amendments. NO HARD COPY DOCUMENTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. All project information is available free of charge on the www.fbo.gov website.

The estimated dollar value for this procurement is between $1,000,000.00 and $5,000,000.00. All questions must be submitted in writing. No telephone calls will be returned. The solicitation will be issued on/about 10 Apr 2015.
