THIS IS A PRESOLICITATION NOTICE The Department of Veterans Affairs, Nashville VA Medical Center is preparing to issue an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for
Project 626-18-601 Provide Emergency Power to Telecommunication Rooms
SET ASIDE: 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB)
PROJECT MAGNITUDE: Between $1,000,000.00 and $2,000,000.00
NAICS: 236220 Commercial and Institutional Building Construction
SMALL BUSINESS SIZE STANDARD: $36.5 million
PROJECT OVERVIEW:
This project will provide construction services for the the upgrading of the electrical service to the closets from 120V normal power to 208V emergency power to accommodate the Cisco Systems Catalyst 4500 Series Switches operating at their maximum power configuration. The affected closets are:
Building 1, Room D-002b
Building 1, Room B-016a.
Building 1, Room D-102
Building 1, Room C-132c
Buildign 1, Room B-237
Building 1, Room C-219
Building 1, Room B-328
Building 1 Room C-306e (Deduct Alternate #3)
Building 1, Room B-435a (Deduct Altnerate #1)
Building 1, Room A-933
Building 3/4, Room 3201 (Deduct Alternate #2)
Building 5, Room 5104
Building 6, Room 6101
Building 8, Room 8101 (Boiler Room)
Building 12, Room 12002
Most of the closets are interior rooms without an adjacent exterior building wall. The size of the cooling units will take into consideration the heat loads of the new Cisco Systems Catalyst 4500 Series Switches.
Statement of Work
The scope includes upgrade of the electrical service from 120V normal power to 208V emergency power for the new Cisco Systems Catalyst 4500 Series switches operating at maximum power configuration. Cooling systems for the affected closets will also be revised, and electrical circuits for the revised cooling system will be included.
The proposed scenario for serving the TIP units and closets is to circuit power from existing panels which were added in prior construction and add additional panels if those are needed.
Emergency power is to be provided via a 30A 208V twist lock receptacle intended for a UPS in each TIP room, as well as Normal power distributed via two (2) 208V 20A twist lock receptacles for the normal power feed to the new switches. The normal feeder power will be distributed from an existing normal panelboard located in the basement electrical room of Building 1.
Where TIP rooms are located in buildings other than Building 1, power will be served from adjacent panels which exist in the buildings being served.
One UPS will be provided and turned over to the VA OIT, for each TIP room, with the following characteristics: NEMA L6-30P input; 8 NEMA 5-15/20R, 2 L6-20R & 1 L6-30R outlets, Rack mounted, 5kVA / 5000VA line interactive UPS; Sine wave output, 208 & 120V output during brownouts to 167 and over voltages to 260V, 3750W. The delivery of the UPS will be coordinated with the COR and the OIT.
The solicitation is anticipated to be posted to the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website www.fbo.gov on or about April 15, 2019.
