Chiller Replacement Roybal Campus

This contract, identified as solicitation number 75D301-26-R-73398, is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 238220 for the design-build modernization of Building 10’s central plant at the CDC Roybal Campus in Atlanta, Georgia. The project aims to replace aging chilled-water equipment, upgrade electrical and controls infrastructure, and ensure uninterrupted campus operations through carefully planned phased execution. The work includes full design and construction services resulting in a fully commissioned and documented facility, with deliverables encompassing detailed engineering studies, shop drawings, construction phasing and outage plans, commissioning documentation, and comprehensive closeout packages including as-builts, O&M manuals, warranties, and training materials. All work must comply with local codes and adhere to sustainable practices outlined in the Statement of Work and technical attachments, including the B10 Power System Study, Electrical SOW, and Building Automation System requirements. The contract is firm-fixed-price, non-severable, and requires compliance with stringent federal regulations, including Davis-Bacon wage rates, anti-kickback statutes, contractor ethics policies, and hazardous material handling protocols. Proposals must be submitted in four volumes—Administrative, Technical, Past Performance, and Price—by the extended deadline of July 7 at noon, and must demonstrate a clear understanding of operational continuity in an active federal facility, with detailed organizational structures, qualified key personnel, and a credible, milestone-driven schedule covering design, procurement, phased construction, outages, commissioning, and closeout. Past performance is the most critical non-price evaluation factor, emphasizing experience with comparable design-build central plant modernizations in occupied settings, followed by technical approach, team qualifications, and schedule realism. Price is evaluated for completeness, reasonableness, and balance but is secondary to non-price factors, which are significantly more important in the tradeoff decision. Contractors must execute CDC-specific non-disclosure agreements for themselves and all employees before gaining site access, and are required to maintain active SAM registration, comply with federal records management obligations, and submit all correspondence and invoices referencing the solicitation number. Performance will be monitored through the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System, and all payments will be processed via electronic funds transfer through the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform. The entire scope must be completed within 462 calendar days after the Notice to Proceed, and work must begin no later than 10 calendar days after receipt of this notice.
