Prospective Contractors are cautioned that a proposal submitted in response to this solicitation must meet the criteria identified in VAAR Clause 852.219-73, VA Notice of Total Set-Aside for Certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (JAN 2023) (DEVIATION).

Prospective Contractors must comply with VAAR Clause 852.219-75 VA Notice of Limitations on Subcontracting Certificate of Compliance for Services and Construction (JAN 2023) (DEVIATION). In the case of a contract for Specialty trade construction contractors, the contractor will not pay more than 85% of the amount paid by the government to it to firms that are not certified SDVOSBs listed in the SBA certification database as set forth in 852.219-73. Any work that a similarly situated subcontractor further subcontracts will count towards the 85% subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. Cost of materials is excluded and not considered to be subcontracted.

For an SDVOSB to be considered as a prospective contractor, the firm must be certified and listed in the SBA certification database (veterans.certify.sba.gov/) and registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database (sam.gov) at time of submission of their qualification. A joint venture may be considered eligible as an SDVOSB if the joint venture complies with the requirements in 13 CFR 128.402 and the managing joint venture partner makes the representations under 852.219-73(c). A joint venture agrees that, in the performance of the contract, the applicable percentage specified in paragraph 852.219-73(d) of the clause will be performed by the aggregate of the joint venture participants. Failure of a prospective SDVOSB to meet these certification requirements by the SBA shall result in elimination from consideration. The firm must also report to VETS-4212 Federal Contractor Reporting in accordance with FAR 52.222-37, Employment Reports on Veterans at dol.gov/agencies/vets/programs/vets4212.
PROJECT INFORMATION/STATEMENT OF TASK: This project is to remove all dead leg piping sections. Re-apply insulation to all segments of HW piping where insulation is found to be missing. Install one chlorination injection station per floor. Increase temperature in water heaters to 140 F and where no existing mixing valve exists on the water heater, install a mixing valve to prevent scalding. Extend DHWR piping to within 6 feet of all fixtures and install small mixing valves at each sink/lavatory to allow increased HW supply temperature in piping to sink/lavatory. Replace DHW recirculation pumps to accommodate a larger flow rate. Install chiller (either air-cooled or include cooling tower and condenser water system), heat exchanger, chilled water pumps to chill all incoming domestic water down to below 68 F. Insulate all existing and new CW piping associated with new chilled conditions. Install insulated CW recirculation (DCWR) piping loop parallel to existing CW piping throughout the entire building. Install a continuous-monitoring system on incoming domestic water to monitor pH, chlorine levels, and temperature.
