About this opportunity
This solicitation seeks a contractor to modify vehicle assembly platforms in the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The selected contractor shall provide all resources necessary to fabricate and install new platforms weighing approximately 300,000 pounds each that can move along rail beams. Additional requirements include constructing new floors, walls, and ceilings; modifying existing building systems for fire suppression, alarms, gas distribution, and electrical power; and completing this work at heights ranging from 280 to 450 feet above ground. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical qualifications, past performance, and price, with award expected by October 2021. The closing date for questions is October 5th and for proposals October 19th.
There is no set-aside designation for this opportunity. The primary NAICS code is 237990 and PSC code is W912DR. The incumbent contractor is [contractor name]. The period of performance is scheduled from April 2022 through August 2024 with a total value of $150M. Construction must be completed during scheduled downtimes between launches at the Kennedy Space Center facility in Florida, involving dual occupancy of the workspace at heights up to 450 feet.
Notice text
Contractor shall provide the necessary resources to fabricate and erect new platforms in the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB). Each of these platforms weigh approximately 300kips, and consist of W44 rail beams that support a welded steel structure (approximately 38ft by 60ft) that can move along the length of the W44s, the mechanical, electrical, and control systems that drive the platform movement, as well as lighting, communications wiring, and fire suppression systems that support the operations and emergency egress. The W44’s will be welded to a large machined corbel structure, which attaches to a track system on the facility columns, by a set of 4-inch diameter pins. In addition, new floors and rooms, walls and ceilings will be constructed in the building. Other ancillary work on building system modification/extension is included for the following: fire suppression pipes and valves, fire alarm, gaseous Nitrogen and gaseous Helium tubing (>5,000psi), and electrical power. The VAB is a greater than 500ft tall steel frame structure with a cavernous interior: all of the above installation scope will be completed at heights ranging from about 280ft to about 450ft above ground, requiring extensive experience with personnel access, material delivery, and fit up/ bolting/ welding materials at such heights. This is an operational facility and construction will be completed in the operational downtime between launches, and dual occupancy of the work space is anticipated.
NOTE: Due to specification and drawing file sizes, Specification 79K40462 is split into 2 files and Drawings 79K40461, Vol 1 is split into 4 files to fit within the SAM.gov file size limitations.
