PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Monocacy National Battlefield, in Frederick, MD seeks a licensed HVAC and/or licensed plumber contractor, with a minimum of 5 years of industry experience working specifically on geothermal HVAC closed loop piping. This requirement is for piping that is not in the ground but located in the interior of Thomas House. The contractor will replace existing interior piping with High-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe. Note this is an existing geothermal system and all work will be located in the interior of Thomas House where the current piping and system components are accessible in an underground basement with approximately 5 feet of clearance. Contracted services for this requirement include draining the system, removing the old circulation water, flushing the system to get out existing contaminants and refilling the system with properly mixed water and chemical solution (40 percent glycol). Existing piping must be properly removed without damage to the HVAC system and new HDPE properly installed on all interior sections. New circulation pumps will be furnished and plumbed to the new HDPE piping. All valves, solenoids or any additional or ancillary equipment that is in the current loop system will be re-plumbed to the new HDPE pipe. All existing heat pumps will be replaced in accordance with engineering drawing recommendations with `in-kind¿ units. The new system needs to have the same configuration as the existing engineering drawings, which NPS will provide. Once the new interior piping and components have been installed and reconnected to the existing outside geothermal wells, the entire system will need to be checked, tested, and placed in proper operation. It is anticipated the HVAC system will be off during rehabilitation activities. Overall safety, consultation, communication, and teamwork are critical.

In compliance with FAR 22.403-1, Construction Wage Rate Requirements, the prevailing wage rates will apply.
