- PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE SYNOPSIS: The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Office of Asset and Enterprise Management (OAEM) anticipates soliciting and subsequently awarding a single Firm-Fixed Price contract for a chiller efficiency program from a commercial provider. PROJECT SCOPE: VHA shall identify the selected facilities and provide them with the Chiller Data Form to send information on the types of chillers by make, model, size, efficiency etc to the contractor. The contractor shall use this data to set up the chillers on website and calculate energy costs, efficiency concerns and identify methods of correction. The contractor shall review the Chiller Data Forms and set up the chillers on the ChillerCheck website. After the chillers have been set up, the contractor will arrange for an online conference call with each individual facility to review the chiller technical data and to review the log data input process. The following topics shall be reviewed: instrumentation issues, calibration issues and procedures for accurately collecting operational data, review use of ChillerCheck website to achieve and maintain peak chiller efficiency, discuss using ChillerCheck for implementing conditioned based maintenance, discuss what performance measurements will be used to track chiller and location performance metrics, and method of data entry. The contractor shall explain to each facility the type of data to be collected and input into Chiller Check. It shall include: Condenser entering and leaving water temperatures, condenser refrigerant temperature, condenser refrigerant pressure, condenser water pressure drop, evaporator entering and leaving water temperatures, evaporator refrigerant pressure, evaporator water pressure drop, oil level, oil temperature, oil pressure, compressor amps, compressor volts, compressor run time, purge run time, etc. Each facility will assign an individual to monitor the ChillerCheck website to insure data is being entered as required and to determine if corrective action is required. The ChillerCheck monitor will coordinate with the contractor to review the analysis and recommended actions required, if any. ADMINISTRATIVE: The solicitation will be issued as a "Request for Proposal" (RFP) conducted in accordance with FAR Parts 15 and 19 and be evaluated in accordance with the procedures therein. The solicitation will be advertised as a Small Business set aside. Offers received from other than Small Business concerns will not be considered.
