FLAT PLATE HEAT EXCHANGE INSTALL - FEMA REGIONAL CENTER, DENTON TEXAS

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has a requirement for Flat Plate Heat Exchange Install in the Denton, TX FEMA Regional Center. This notice is a Request for Information only and is not a request for quote or solicitation. The government will not reimburse parties for responses to this notice. FEMA is requesting interested parties submit an interest and capability statement per the information provided below. PURPOSE The objective of this project is to enhance energy efficiency and temperature control in the FRC building located at 800 N. Loop 288, Denton, Texas 76209. The requirement includes installing a flat plate heat exchanger system to make the property more energy efficient. The goal is to optimize power consumption while saving wear and tear on the new chillers with the intent of improving climate control within the building. During the winter months, when the flat plate system is running the chillers can be turned off and the building can be cooled with outside air and two pumps. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The primary goal of this project is to install a new flat plate system with all the required pipe work, valves and controls connected to the Metasys system. The purpose is to require a design to save power and wear on the new chillers in order to make the HVAC system more efficient as the flat plate has no motors or moving parts so when the flat plate is engaged it consumes NO POWER. The installation should include: 1. The new flat plate unit. The sizing of the new unit to be determined by the contractor. 2. Removal of any abandoned fan units or equipment in the central plant space to make room for the new equipment. To include attached ductwork or pipework. Be aware the units may contain asbestos or lead based paint as the vintage of the property is pre-1989. 3. Installing new and rerouting the original pipework on the condenser and chilled water sides to install the flat plate. And adding necessary manual valves to control the flat plate. 4. All removed items will be disposed of in an environmentally sustainable manor off the Region 6 site. 5. Temperature check points will need to be installed and tied into the Metasys system so the system can be monitored from the Metasys central control computer. EXPECTED PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS The contractor will submit a detailed Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlining the tasks, schedules, and resource requirements. The expected PWS will require the following: A project schedule, including a Gantt chart outlining all milestones. Provisions for minimizing disruptions to employees, including noise levels, power outages, and operational impacts. Physical oversight during the entire project lifecycle.
