This notice is a market research tool and has not been set-aside for any small business category, however the notice is issued to determine appropriate set-aside categories. Responses to this notice, in conjunction with other Government market research resources, will be used by the contracting officer to determine the applicable socio-economic set-aside for the procurement. Failure to respond to this notice will not impact consideration of construction services companies (or joint ventures) which otherwise meet set-aside requirements and submit responses to the follow-up public announcement. Once the appropriate set-aside is determined, a separate public announcement requesting offers/proposals will be publicized on Contract Opportunities in accordance with FAR 36.213-2. General Project Description and NAICS 1. Provide all materials, equipment, and labor to complete the following inspection/testing work on the station electrical distribution system. a. Test, inspect, and calibrate all breakers and relays in the 15KV switchgear located in Building 83. Clean all relays before testing including, remove any metal filings from disks and magnets, clean/burnish contacts, and check contact wipe. b. Visually inspect and infrared test the15KV switchgear in Building 83, 41 pad-mount transformers, 10 vault mounted VFI switches, 3 sectionalizes, and the main building distribution panels in the following locations: G14-27, G05-46, G25-67, G02-77, 117-85, 133-88, 122-109, 201-109, 116-110, 115-114, 112-117, 102-120, GRNDS-121, GRNDS-122, 106-123, 200-123, and 127-124. Infrared test each breaker in the main distribution panels as described above. Test the GFI trip rating of each GFI breaker. Test and calibrate all relays in the main distribution panels. c. Obtain an oil sample from each of the 41 pad-mount transformers located throughout the campus grounds. Sample oil for dissolved gases, moisture content, dielectric breakdown voltage, acid, color, visual, specific gravity, and interfacial tension. Use ASTM D1816 to test dielectric breakdown voltage. Check the pressure gage to assure the nitrogen blanket is still intact. Check the oil level in each transformer. Clean any cobwebs and debris from each of the transformers. Check transformers to assure they are level. d. Infrared test and vacuum out 14 automatic transfer switches, 1 in B.46, 1 in B.27, 1 in B.77, 3 in B.67, 1 in B.88, and 7 in B.85. 2. At the conclusion of the above testing, inspections, and calibration, provide a written report to the VA M…
