Description

PRESOLICITATION NOTICE The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking proposals from General Contractors to provide the Office of Construction and Facilities Management, design build construction services for substantial modifications to the boiler and control systems at the Miami VA Healthcare System Central Plant. During the time of installation in 2005, VA standards and specifications were not followed. This led to difficulties and safety hazards during current operation and maintenance procedures. The contractor shall provide all labor, materials, tools, equipment, supervision, and design-build services necessary for design and construction for the upgrade and correction of deficiencies of the boiler and control systems; boiler induced draft fan installation; boiler/plant control system upgrade; miscellaneous boiler plant corrections; control points as required by plans and specifications issued with this solicitation. Work shall include demolition, installation, site clean-up other specific tasks as further defined by this request for proposal (RFP). This procurement is set aside 100% for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB). The firm must be a General Construction Firm with an approved NAICS Code 236220, Small Business Size Standard of $33.5 million. The estimated cost for this project is between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000. This project (546PM2088) is for the Miami VA Healthcare System Central Plant, Miami, FL. All work shall be accomplished in accordance with VA standards and specifications outlined in the VA Technical Information Library (TIL) located at www.cfm.va.gov/til/. All work shall be accomplished within 215 calendar days of receipt of Notice to Proceed. Boiler Induced Draft Fan Installation The current boiler exhaust system is undersized to operate the two (2) existing 400 HP boilers at full capacity. There is also a single point of failure identified to be an induced draft fan. The submission documents identify an upsize in stack diameter from 24" to 32" as well as the placement of two (2) new variable speed induced draft fans placed on the roof of the old boiler plant. The fan speed will modulate to maintain a constant boiler breeching pressure. The power from these fans will come from an electrical panel located on the mezzanine of the old boiler plant. A structural analysis of the old boiler plant roof was performed and was determined that additional framing/support is not required. Boiler/Plant Control System Upgrade The current control system, instruments, monitoring and data management systems and accessories for the boilers, burners and other boiler plant mechanical equipment is subpar. The submission documents identify the replacement of the boiler/burner combustion control systems, burner management systems (flame safeguard), and data management and instrumentation systems. This also includes parallel positioning with O2 trim control, boiler efficiency monitoring, boiler master, plant master, single element feed water, condensate/deaerator tank control and monitoring as well as induced draft fan control. New combustion control panels, new burner management panels and a new plant master panel will be provided. The combustion control and plant master system will be based on programmable automation controller technology with local touch screens. The existing deaerator tank (with three pumps) and condensate tank (with two pumps) will be provided with a new control and monitoring system. See the "Control Points" section for a list of systems, points, and devices expected to see installed. Miscellaneous Boiler Plant Corrections Many piping/testing items are identified in the submission documents. The major items include providing new pressure relief valves and vent piping for the boilers and deaerator, relocating the deaerator steam pressure reducing station, modifying the feedwater pumps and piping to continuously operate and testing deaerator performance. Also included under this category is the installation of a plant combustible gas/carbon monoxide detection system. Control Points The following systems/points/devices are expected to be replaced: ; Burner Combustion Control System with touch screen interface ; Burner Management System ; Data Management/Instrumentation systems with touch screen interface ; Combustibles/CO Monitoring system Boiler Devices (existing burners to remain; count each line item twice for two boilers) ; O2 Analyzer ; Steam Pressure Transmitter ; FD damper actuator ; Level transmitter (for two element level control) ; Water high level switch ; Water low level switch (3) ; Feedwater control valve ; Boiler outlet temperature transmitter ; UV flame scanner/amplifier ; Furnace pressure transmitter ; FD fan current relay ; FD damper switch ; Diff pressure transmitter (windbox and outlet) ; Diff pressure transmitter (across FD fan) Natural Gas Devices (count each line item twice for two boilers) ; Control Valve ; Low fire control valve position switch ; Pressure transmitter ; High pressure switch (qty. 3) ; Low pressure switch ; Low pilot gas pressure ; Fuel safety shutoff valves (qty. 2) ; Safety valve proof of closure interlocks (qty. 4) ; Natural Gas flow meter ; Pilot safety shutoff valve (qty. 2) No 2 Fuel Devices (count each line item twice for two boilers) ; Control Valve ; Low fire control valve position switch ; High pressure switch ; Low pressure switch ; Fuel safety shutoff valves (qty. 2) ; Safety valve proof of closure interlocks (qty. 2) ; Low atomizing media pressure transmitter ; Low atomizing media pressure switch (qty. 2) ; Compressed air control valve ; control valve position switch Plant Control Devices ; Steam header pressure transmitter (qty; 2) ; Steam header pressure switch ; Draft Pressure transmitter ; Condensate tank makeup control valve ; Condensate tank emergency makeup control valve ; Condensate transfer pump header pressure transmitter ; Condensate makeup flow meter ; Condensate tank level transmitter ; Condensate tank temperature transmitter ; Condensate pump motor status (qty. 2) ; Condensate pump HOA switches (qty. 2) ; Condensate tank high level switch ; Condensate tank low level switch ; Deaerator tank makeup control valve ; Deaerator emergency makeup control valve ; Deaerator tank overflow control valve ; Deaerator level transmitter ; Deaerator steam pressure transmitter ; Deaerator high level switch ; Deaerator low level switch ; Deaerator tank overflow switch ; Feedwater pump HOA switches (qty. 3) ; Feedwater temperature transmitter ; Feedwater pump current switch (qty.3) ; Feedwater pump status switch (qty. 3) ; Feedwater pump header pressure transmitter ; ID fan current switch (qty. 2) ; ID fan damper control (qty. 2) ; ID fan HOA switch (qty. 2) ; Combined boiler flue pressure transmitter ; Combined ; Outdoor air temperature transmitter DESCRIPTION OF BID ITEMS: CLIN 001: Base Bid.
