Expand Emergency Power to HVAC Systems (Phoenix VA Hospital)

The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers is seeking information from interested parties for a project to expand emergency power to HVAC systems at the Carl T. Hayden Medical Center, Phoenix VA Hospital in Arizona. The project scope includes providing 100% emergency backup power to operate all components of the VA's HVAC system, placing HVAC equipment on the Emergency Equipment power branch, removing and strengthening walls to make them blast resistant, and performing selective demolition as required. The estimated construction price range for this project is between $5M and $10M, and the total contract performance period is anticipated to be 700+ days. * The project requires experience with similar projects in magnitude and complexity. * The project involves providing back-up generator power to the campus, automatic transfer switch (ATS), and paralleling switchgear at the 12,470 Volt, main power distribution to the hospital. * The project requires ensuring all systems and structural upgrades fit within existing space constraints. * The project involves selective demolition as required to support new work.
