This is a total set-aside for Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business under NAICS code 238210 Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors. Size Standard is $15M.
52.219-14 -- Limitations on Subcontracting
Construction by special trade contractors. The concern will perform at least 25 percent of the cost of the contract, not including the cost of materials, with its own employees.
Full solicitation to be published on or about 20 December 2018.
Increased electrical capacity is needed to accommodate four additional server racks to be added to the main IT server room on 9th floor of the medical center main building, building 1 and to convert two of the four existing server room air conditioning units to emergency power.
The new server racks will consist of three new equipment racks for RTLS and one additional rack for commercial PACS. Each new rack will require approximately 50 amps, but the existing electrical panels serving the main IT server room have no additional capacity.
Additional critical power will also be installed to convert the final two air conditioning units from normal to emergency power. The two-existing server room air conditioning units on emergency power do not have the capacity to cool the room on the warmest summer days. This issue will be greatly exacerbated with the installation of the new server racks.
The new power will be routed from Electrical Substation #2 on the 1st floor, through the existing "A" electrical riser up 8 floors, and then across the 9th floor to the main server room. This will require the installation of approximately 200 feet of new primary conduit and feeders, main breakers, secondary electrical panels, wiring and panel breakers. The primary feeders will need to pass through 8 occupied medical center floors requiring core drilling through each floor in addition to the installation of the new conduits and feeders.
Performance Period is 120 calendar days after Notice to Proceed.
