SOLICITATION NUMBER: FA8601-12-B-0002
This effort includes one project: (Project 090187), Replace Steam Lines, Area A. Project scope includes replacement of steam heat system from underground steam distribution lines with gas-fired boiler heating systems for Bldgs 879, 867, 278, 256, 1403, 293, 295 and 296. Remove overhead steam lines at Bldgs 278 and 867. The heating system components are assumed to contain asbestos containing insulating materials. Also included is the replacement of the steam heating coil inside the air handling units inside the facilities listed above, with a new hot water heating coil, along with the installation of a new HTHW to heating hot water heat exchanger, hot water pump, and new DDC controls. Special requirements/concerns related to this project:
High Temperature Hot Water (HTHW) steam distribution systems require specialized construction skills and safety preparations. Standard facility construction experience is not sufficient. Construction timelines are very tight since these repairs cannot be started until after the steam heating system is turned off, and must be completed in time for activation in the fall for this critical utility system. Numerous facilities will not have heat until this project is completed. Work will need to be carefully coordinated with the Mechanical Shop to minimize impact to mission. Project also includes HVAC and asbestos work.

The Air Force intends to award a contract with a 210 day period of performance.

The estimated magnitude of the entire contract is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000.
