REVISED STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)\n\nThe Statement of Work (SOW) has been revised and is hereby replaced in its entirety.\n\nThe revised SOW clarifies the requirement for a 550-ton portable chiller and reflects that the primary purpose of this requirement is to obtain continuous temporary cooling services.\n\nThe revised SOW is attached to this amendment and supersedes all previous versions.\n\n\n2. CHILLER CAPACITY REQUIREMENT\n\nThe Government requires a portable chiller system with a minimum capacity of 550 tons.\n\nProposals that do not meet the 550-ton requirement will be considered noncompliant and may be evaluated as technically unacceptable.\n\n\n3. NATURE OF REQUIREMENT\n\nThis requirement is for the rental, delivery, installation, start-up, maintenance support, and removal of a portable chiller system to provide continuous temporary cooling at the facility.\n\nThe primary purpose of this requirement is to obtain continuous temporary cooling services. The portable chiller equipment is incidental to the performance of that service.\n\nOfferors shall propose solutions that meet the required performance outcomes as described in the revised Statement of Work.\n\n\n4. LIMITATIONS ON SUBCONTRACTING\n\nIn accordance with VAAR 852.219-75, the cost of materials and equipment is excluded from the limitations on subcontracting calculation.\n\n\n\n\n5.

Work will consist of providing a 550-ton air-cooled portable chiller to supplement the chilled water supply at the Carl Vinson VA Medical Center (CVVAMC) and all preventative maintenance and service calls to maintain operations of the chiller. All work must be in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal codes, rules, and regulations. Impact shall be minimized and mitigated in a way that limits disruption to the functioning of the Medical Center. Scheduling and coordination with the CVVAMC will be critical and must be coordinated and approved by Contracting Officer s Representative (COR). \n\nThe work shall include: \nThe Vendor shall provide one (1) 550-ton electric powered air-cooled chiller. The chiller must have its own breakers and main disconnect. The facility will not provide breaker protection for the chiller. The facility will not provide fuel for the portable chiller, only an electrical connection will be provided. The electrical connection will be from a 480V, 3-phase, transformer with approximately 1200-amp capacity. The facility will provide final termination into the power source.\nThe Vendor will provide this equipment for as long as the facility requires but no longer than the length of the contract.\nThe Vendor will provide comprehensive services consisting of emergency calls, services calls, maintenance, etc. to keep the portable chiller running.\nVendor must provide drop off and pick up of the portable chiller and drop off the chiller in a location deemed acceptable by the facility.\nThe Vendor will provide necessary hoses, couplers, adaptors, cabling, and other accessories needed to bring the portable chillers into service. \nThe Vendor will include enough hosing and couplers for a run of 200 feet to the facility water connection point, and at least enough cabling for a run of 75 feet for power connection. Vendor will assemble and bring power cables within arm s reach of the transformer but will NOT make the connection to the transformer. The VA will make the required electrical connection to the transformer.\nVendor will need to provide a 10 flanged reducer and enough bolts to connect to the facility s chilled water lines. This is per connection point needed. The facility connection points are 10 BFVs. The Vendor must provide their own reducers to connect to facility lines.\nVendor will connect water lines to facility system, bleed lines free of air, and ensure that all debris are flushed from the water lines and do not damage facility chilled water system. Vendor will perform initial startup and ensure that all systems are running as normal.\nThe vendor shall have no more than 72 hours to bring the equipment to the CVVAMC and have it up and operating upon request by the COR unless otherwise directed.\nIf the portable chiller has issues and goes down, the vendor must have personnel onsite within 24 hours to assess the equipment and try to resolve the situation as urgently as possible because the medical facility requires the environment to be always controlled within certain acceptable ranges day and night. If issues are unable to be resolved within 72 hours, a replacement chiller must be brought on site within 120 hours of the initial call from the facility. \n\nGeneral Requirements \n\nEmployees of the vendor and sub-contractors shall always conduct themselves in a professional manner while on medical center property. The vendor shall ensure all personnel working on this contract are aware of Medical Center rules pertaining to employee behavior and conduct.\n\nPhysical or verbal misconduct may be grounds for removing employees from Medical Center property, or grounds for arrest by the VA Police. Employees may be banned from Medical Center property as a result of inappropriate or illegal behavior. The vendor shall not be entitled to any compensation from the Government for any costs resulting from employee misconduct (including, but not limited to, delays in contract completion) and may be held liable for costs incurred by the Government as a result of employee misconduct.\n\nTobacco Use is 100% prohibited on all VA property. \n\nThe VA will not be responsible for storage of equipment, materials, or tools. \n\nIt is the vendor s responsibility to properly assess the working conditions and include in the bid any specialty equipment, training, additional time, personnel, or safety equipment to perform the work safely and in compliance with all applicable local, State, and Federal regulations. \n\nIf any damage is made to the property, building, or chiller, by the vendor, the vendor is fully responsible for bearing the costs of repair and interim costs for maintaining medical center operations. If the vendor causes damage or introduces debris into the facility s water lines, the vendor will be responsible for the cost of repair.\n\nHours of Work\n\nThis requirement is excluded from normal working hours due to the urgency of the matter.\n\nNormal working hours are 0700 1600 Monday to Friday, except for federal holidays. Preparation can be done during these hours. To reduce patient impact, all work that requires a utility outage will need to take place during afterhours (1700 0500) or during weekends. All work started shall be completed and the work area(s) ready for full operations no later than 0500 the following day, unless otherwise coordinated with the COR. All schedules and work hours shall be requested, coordinated, and approved through the COR. \n\nSecurity\n\nNo badging is required for this requirement due to lack of need for vendor to be working onsite without VA supervision.\n\nSafety\n\nWhenever executing work within the proximity of live electrical equipment (including testing, voltage/current measurements, infrared scans, ultrasonic scans, and/or verifying a de-energized condition prior to performing work), the vendor shall provide and wear full and proper Personal Protective Equipment per the requirements of VHA Directive 1028, NFPA 70E. The vendor must also provide all lockout/tagout equipment required to secure electrical safe work conditions. \n\nReferences \n\nContractors shall have ready access to the latest versions of the following references: \n\nVHA HVAC Design Manual \nAHRI 550/590\nNFPA 70B, Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance\nNFPA 70E, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace\nOSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910\n\n\nParking/Laydown Area\n\nThe vendor shall make arrangements with the COR for parking at the facility.

At no time shall vehicles be parked on roadways, patient parking areas, the loading dock, etc. \n\n\nPeriod of Performance\n\nPeriod of Performance is 210 calendar days.\n\nHospital operations shall take priority.
