The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 236220, titled Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, with a size standard of $36.5 million.
Estimated award date for this contract is May - July 2015, with a project period of performance of approximately 175 calendar days. Estimated award amount is between $500,000 and $1,000,000 and is intended to be awarded to one company as a firm-fixed price contract.
SCOPE OF WORK
The work for this project includes but is not limited to the following activities at the SSPF tech shop:
Converting the 2,760 square foot SSPF tech shop into a laboratory facility. The tech shop is a separate building that is attached to the SSPF and is fully enclosed and environmentally controlled. Renovations will include modifying the tech shop into three separate spaces consisting of one hardware lab and two science labs. The three lab spaces will total approximately 1,909 square feet with the remaining space left over for corridors, restroom, janitors closet, and a storage room.
A new DX unit will be installed with a separate HEPA filtration box. Each lab will be provided with a variable air volume box with an electric heating coil and room mounted thermostat. These systems will be controlled by a building automation system that is subsequently tied into the KSC center-wide monitoring system.
New electrical panel boards will be installed in the labs to serve the outlets and equipment. New fluorescent lighting fixtures will be installed with dual-switching for high/low levels. New ceiling mounted speakers will be installed in the labs corridors and wired to the existing system terminals.
Modifications to the existing potable water system will be necessary to provide service to the new restroom, janitors closet, safety stations, and lab sinks. Electric point of use water heaters located throughout the facility will provide the hot water. A new drain, waste and vent system will also be installed.
The exterior walls are comprised of a metal wall panel system. The only modifications to these walls will include the removal of the existing overhead coiling door and replacing that space with new metal wall panels.
The existing fire sprinkler system consists of exposed piping and fire sprinklers at the roof level. This system will be modified to install new piping above the new drop ceilings and new fire sprinkler at the ceiling level supplied by the existing riser and remove the current piping and sprinklers. Existing fire alarm pull stations and bell/strobes will be removed, relocated and added per code.
The scope of work includes civil, architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection disciplines.
