USACE SPK DB Construction - Building 1286 Steam Plant Upgrades at Hill AFB, UT

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Sacramento District (SPK), anticipates solicitation of a requirement for Two-Phase Design-Build (DB) construction services to be performed in support of Building 1286 Steam Plant Boiler Upgrades at Hill Air Force Base, Utah (UT).

The Government intends to solicit a Request for Proposals (RFP) that will result in award of a Firm-Fixed Price contract.

The project is anticipated to include the replacement of three (3) boilers in B1286 with two (2) new 50 MMBH boilers with new dual-fuel (natural gas/fuel oil) boilers that meet Best Available Control Technology (BACT), removal and replacement of existing boiler fuel oil underground storage tanks (USTs) with appropriately sized above  ground storage tanks (AST), upgrades to seismic retrofitting and supporting equipment (deaerator, pumps, etc.), and replacement of the undersized emergency generator at B1286 to accommodate larger blower motor sizes due to flue gas recirculation (FGR). Project is anticipated to require phasing the boiler replacement in the existing plants to maintain steam production for the existing load, and new wall openings and an emergency boiler to maintain “N+1” boiler redundancy in the plants.

This project may be delayed, cancelled, or revised at any time during the pre-solicitation, solicitation, selection, evaluation, negotiation and/or final award process.

The Government anticipates construction work will be performed from Fall 2022 to March 2024. All work must be complete by March 2024.
