Description

Sources Sought For Brand Name Heating, Ventilation, And Air Conditioning Control System – Consolidated Vehicle Maintenance And Security Forces Operations Complexes At Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota DISCLAIMER: This sources sought is for informational purposes only. This is not a request for proposal (RFP). It does not constitute a solicitation and shall not be construed as a commitment by the government. Responses in any form are not offers and the government is under no obligation to award a contract as a result of this announcement. No funds are available to pay for preparation of responses to this announcement. Any information submitted by respondents to this technical description is strictly voluntary. INTRODUCTION The US Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District is issuing this sources sought synopsis as a means of conducting market research to identify potential sources having an interest and industry technologies available to support/provide Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) controls to include Direct Digital Control (DDC), Energy Management Control System (ECMS) and Java Application Control Engine (JACE) systems. All proposed control systems must be fully compatible and interoperable with existing Johnson Controls infrastructure. HVAC control systems are required for the Consolidated Vehicle Maintenance Complex (CVMC) and Security Forces Operations Complex (SFOC) Sentinel program construction contracts at Minot Air Force Base, ND. The result of this market research will contribute to determining the method of procurement. Based on the responses to this sources sought notice/market research, this requirement may include specifications regarding the HVAC control systems or, if justified by market research, a brand name Justification and Approval. USACE intends to issue one design-bid-build construction contract. The solicitation is anticipated to be full and open competition. NOTE: The Air Force is currently developing a class J&A for Brand Name HVAC control systems. Minot AFB's 5th Civil Engineering Squadron (5CES) reaffirmed this intent requesting the use of Johnson Control systems. This is a supplementary market research effort conducted by the Army to support these specific projects. Given the high percentage of Jonhson Control systems currently on the Installation, technicians have significantly more experience and familiarization working with this brand name equipment than other manufacturers. Additionally, use of the Johnson Control systems would interface seamlessly with the existing base wide EMCS system without duplicative backbone and interface systems. The CVMC and SFOC projects are in support of the integrated Sentinel weapons system beddown at Minot AFB. The projects above vary in scope, magnitude, and complexity, but will both require installation of HVAC control systems. The proposed brand-name acquisition of Johnson Control systems was deemed necessary to avoid significant training costs and achieve missio…
