AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District, is soliciting proposals for the Chilled Water Plant Replacement and Site Utility Improvements (Phase A2) at the VA Medical Center in West Haven, Connecticut. This firm-fixed-price construction project, estimated between $75 million and $150 million, involves the demolition of the existing chilled water plant (Building 16a) and the construction of a new multi-story facility featuring chillers, cooling towers, pumps, and associated mechanical and electrical equipment. The scope includes the construction of a new fuel tank farm, the installation of redundant electrical feeders, and extensive site utility upgrades, including the replacement of domestic and fire protection water mains and the creation of utility main loops for chilled water, steam, condensate, and fire protection. The project must adhere to the DVA Physical Security Resiliency Design Requirements and is expected to achieve USGBC LEED Silver certification. Due to the location within an active medical center campus, the contractor must minimize operational impacts and manage constrained laydown areas. The project requires the use of specific brand-name systems for compatibility with existing campus infrastructure, including Johnson Controls for fire alarms and electronic security, Siemens or Johnson Controls for building automation, and AMAZ Consulting for SCADA programming. Award will be based on a best-value tradeoff process evaluating past performance, management approach, small business participation, and price, with non-price factors being significantly more important. Proposals must be submitted electronically via PIEE and must meet a minimum small business participation requirement of 10 percent to be considered acceptable.

Full Description
The scope of the chilled water plant replacement consists of the demolition of the existing chilled water plant (building 16a) and construction of a new multi-story chilled water plant to include chillers, cooling towers, pumps, and all associated mechanical and electrical equipment. Due to the close proximity of the existing fuel tank farm adjacent to the existing chilled water plant, a new fuel tank farm will need to be constructed as part of the project, which primarily serves the central boiler plant, requiring close coordination with the medical center and ongoing related projects.The scope of the site utility upgrades consists of the replacement and upgrade of the existing fire protection water main and the domestic water main from Campbell Avenue to Building 15. Site utility upgrades also include providing utility main loops of chilled water supply and return, steam supply, condensate return, domestic water supply, and fire protection water supply which will originate from the new chilled water plant and back-feed to Building 1. The work also includes the installation of redundant electrical feeder from the utility demarcation point to Building 19 and coordination with the local electrical utility provider to provide further electrical redundancy offsite as well. In addition, new water storage tanks will be constructed. This project involves civil/site, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, geotechnical, and architectural disciplines. The project must also comply with the DVAs Physical Security Resiliency Design Requirements (PSRDM). It is expected that the chilled water plant will be constructed to meet USGBC LEED Silver certification. The work is located adjacent to and within an active Medical Center campus which will be operational at all times. Impact to on-going operations must be kept to a minimum and carefully coordinated with the Contracting Officer and VAMC staff. In addition, the work area is constrained due to the active medical center operations which will limit laydown and storage areas during construction.
