The Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command, Mid-Atlantic is seeking eligible small business firms capable of performing construction services for Design-Bid-Build (DBB) B300 Waterfront Machine Shop Roof & HVAC Repair, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Kittery, Maine.
Building 300 is a manufacturing and machining facility. The existing roof system has surpassed its design/service life and has deteriorated to the point where there are significant leaks to the interior. The building interior is exposed to water infiltration due to these roof failures. The HVAC systems were installed during the original construction of the building between 1979 and 1984. No substantial changes have been made to the HVAC system since. The existing HVAC systems have depositions of lead dust within them.
The project will remove existing roofing which has exceeded its useful service life and provide for replacement with new roofing in-kind. The project also provides the removal of all air handling units and associated ductwork that conditions the industrial work areas. The project includes measures to contain lead dust that is known to be present within existing air handlers and ductwork. The project provides the addition of unit heaters to provide heat to the industrial work areas and dedicated outdoor air systems to provide fresh air to the space accompanied by destratification fans for occupant comfort.
Site improvements include utility construction and restoration of disturbed areas resulting from demolition activities. Utilities include electrical, and fire safety systems.
All service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB), veteran-owned small businesses (VOSB), certified HUB-Zone, certified 8(a), and women-owned small businesses (WOSB), and small businesses are encouraged to respond.
