- Install Elevator, VAB Tower F, in the Vertical Assembly Building (VAB), at Kennedy Space Center Industrial Area Contracting Office Address NASA/John F. Kennedy Space Center, Procurement, Kennedy Space Center, FL 32899 Description SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE Vertical Assembly Building (VAB) - Install Elevator, VAB Tower F, KSC Industrial Area INTRODUCTION The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) at the John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC) is seeking capabilities from all categories of Small Businesses for the purpose of determining the appropriate level of competition and/or Small Business subcontracting goals for the project titled Install Elevator, VAB Tower F in the Vertical Assembly Building (VAB) at Kennedy Space Center, Florida 32899. Small business vendors having the capabilities necessary to meet or exceed the stated requirements are invited to submit capability packages, appropriate documentation and references. The NAICS code for this effort is 238290, titled Other Building Equipment Contractors, and the small business size standard is $14.0 million.The estimated price range of this project is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. SCOPE OF WORK The work to be performed under this project consists of installing a new freight elevator in high rise Tower F of the Vertical Assembly Building (VAB) at Kennedy Space Center. Also included is the replacement of the adjacent existing Tower F elevator control system and integration of operations with the new elevator. Specifically this project consists of: 1.) Providing detailed system engineering and shop drawings including, but not limited to: structural modifications, installation details for control and elevator equipment, control system diagrams, wiring and interconnection drawings, product data, equipment schedules, sequence of operations, annotated software logic, arrangement diagrams and details, work plans, operations and maintenance information, training programs, record as-built documentation, engineering calculations, and other construction transmittals as required by the contract documents. These documents will be approved by the Government, prior to start of work. 2.) Existing system demolition and rework. Working around operational critical facility equipment with minimal impact and system downtimes. 3.) Design, demolition, and modification of existing facility structural, power, lighting, grounding, fire alarm, and communication systems to support the elevator installation. 4.) Environmental and safety work including working at heights, worker protection, hazardous material avoidance or abatement, waste segregation, and waste disposal. 5.) Factory design, fabrication, installation, and testing of customized elevator equipment with the following characteristics: (a)Live load of 8000 lbs. (b)Nominal speed of 700 feet per minute (c)34 front stops and 14 rear stops (d)Rise of approximately 419 feet and 9 inches. (e)Front and rear doors doors shall be two speed type (f)A dupline network shall be utilized for calling elevators to various floors. (g)Monitoring and control equipment installation including computer hardware, computer software, programmable automation controllers,electrical power and control wiring construction, control panel fabrication, engineering shop drawing preparation, control sequence development, custom software development, human-machine interface development, test procedure development, user training, and performance certification elements. (h)Specialized control work to integrate into KSCs remote monitoring system. 6.) Existing elevator control system demolition with selective re-utilization of existing equipment and wiring. Replacement of the existing Tower F elevator control system and the integration of the existing elevator operation with the new elevator. Construction phasing of control system replacement along with all essential components must be completed sequentially in a pre-planned sequence to outages. 7.) Field modifications to the existing elevator shafts to support the new elevator and existing elevator revisions. 8.) Electrical installation and routing of conduit, connectors, control cabinets, junction boxes, and wiring systems. 9.) Modification of an existing Simplex 4100 fire alarm system hardware and software to provide required elevator system fire detection, control, and remote monitoring functions. 10.) Development of training program and materials and the presentation of training material to maintenance personnel at KSC. 11.) Elevator testing and commissioning including full field acceptance testing.
