John Day Powerhouse HVAC Upgrades

The US Army Corps of Engineers is seeking information from industry partners to inform a potential future solicitation for the John Day Powerhouse HVAC Upgrades project. The project involves replacing the primary and installing secondary chillers, as well as modifying the HVAC system to include a comprehensive smoke removal system. The work will be performed in an active powerhouse with high-voltage busbars and electrical transmission equipment. The government is seeking responses from both large and small businesses, including small disadvantaged businesses, historically underutilized business zones, woman-owned small businesses, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. Some key points about the project include: • The project requires at least 50% of the cooling systems to remain operational at any time using temporary chillers. • The project involves working in an active powerhouse with high-voltage busbars and electrical transmission equipment. • The project requires working around critical industrial control systems and fire suppression systems without fully inactivating those systems. • The project will include a fixed cost line item for asbestos remediation and lead testing. • The project requires installation of a range of HVAC systems depending on the specific space. • Significant structural penetrations of massive concrete walls in the powerhouse must be conducted as part of the ducting work.
