Insulation for Heat Recovery Pipe in B852, 3-Bay Hangar

The 115th Fighter Wing at Dane County Regional Airport -Truax Field, Madison, WI intends to issue a Request for Quote (RFQ) for award of a single firm-fixed-price contract for construction services, non-personal, to provide all plant, labor, transportation, materials, tools, equipment, appliances and supervision necessary to provide for the insulation of the Heat Recovery Return (HRR) and Heat Recovery Supply (HRS) piping on the interior of the Corrosion Control and Fuels Cell Bays of Building 852, the 3-Bay Specialized Hangar. Frozen condensate accumulates on the interior piping when cold air rapidly floods the bays when the fabric doors are opened. When the doors are closed, the frozen condensate liquifies, and falls onto the aircraft and Airmen. Because the piping is cast iron, the liquid condensate appears to contain rust.

This project includes:

1. Provision and installation of 1.5” pipe insulation for approximately 400 feet of combined HRR and HRS piping in each the Corrosion Control Bay and Fuel Cell Bay (approximately 800 feet total).

2. Relabeling HRR and HRS piping on the exterior insulation, exactly as it appears currently on the piping, i.e., color, font, directional indications.

The base award Contract Line Item(s) (CLINs) are anticipated to be as follows:

CLIN 0001 – Insulation Materials and Labor

CLIN 0002 – Relabeling Materials and Labor

All work will be in accordance with any issued plans or specifications, which will be made available electronically without charge. The solicitation will result in a single construction contract.

The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 236220, with a size standard of $45,000,000. The magnitude of construction for this project is between $25,000 and $100,000.
