Y1DA--NRM 630-24-105 Conduct Duct Bank Survey

The contract requires a service-disabled veteran-owned small business to conduct a comprehensive conduit duct bank survey across the Northport VA Medical Center campus in New York. The scope involves investigating twenty specified electrical manholes and potentially up to five additional ones based on field conditions. The contractor will perform detailed inspections of existing electrical feeders, high-voltage splices, conduits including spare conduits, and manhole structural conditions, while ensuring compliance with safety and confined space requirements. The feeders will remain energized during the survey, necessitating stringent safety precautions and certifications such as NFPA 70E, OSHA 30, and confined space permits. Deliverables include detailed as-built drawings in PDF and AutoCAD formats, an infrared scan of splices, photographs, condition assessments, and a comprehensive report summarizing the condition and usability of conduits and feeders. Work must be completed within eight weeks of the Notice to Proceed, with around 25% expected to occur after hours due to weather or site conditions, excluding federal holidays unless otherwise authorized. Coordination with the Contracting Officer Representative is essential for site access, safety monitoring, and scheduling, with strict adherence to government safety, security, records management, and regulatory requirements. No live electrical work is permitted, and all interruptions to service must be pre-approved. The contract emphasizes strict data and information security measures, including compliance with federal recordkeeping laws and privacy requirements, with all data and deliverables owned by the VA. Final payments are contingent upon acceptance of closeout documentation, including records that must be handled according to NARA and VA policies.
