JFSD230068 REPAIR HVAC SYSTEM HYDRANT FUELING B658

The contract involves the Architect-Engineer (A-E) in conducting comprehensive field reconnaissance, studies, site investigations, and preliminary design meetings aimed at developing contract documents required to address issues within Building 658, a 3,800 square-foot hydrant fueling facility for jet fuel located at Grand Forks Air Force Base, North Dakota. This facility comprises a significant fuels piping bay and smaller sections including a control room and bathroom, though these latter areas are not part of the current project focus. The main issues identified include inadequate heating for the fuels piping bay, currently maintained by four hydronic unit heaters supported by a 400 MBH boiler that also services the entire facility, and insufficient hot water availability at the bay's eye wash station due to an underpowered on-demand electric hot water heater. The fact that historical drawings of the facility have been lost heightens the need for accurate site investigation and measurement, critical for the project’s success. Posted on February 6, 2025, the contract is a presolicitation under the Department of Defense, specifically managed by the Department of the Air Force and Air Combat Command. It is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under the NAICS code 541330, focusing on engineering services. The deadline for response is February 12, 2025, at 4:00 PM Central Time. Contact points for the project include primary point Trenton Cott and secondary contact Monique Padilla, with both based at Grand Forks AFB. Important considerations for the project include scheduling design meetings with assistance from the Base Civil Engineering Project Manager and ensuring any updates account for additional heat load from operations, particularly during colder months. The contract aims to address the HVAC deficiencies to enhance the operational efficiency and safety of the hydrant fueling facility.
