HAWAII COMPUTER ROOM AIR HANDLING REPLACEMENT

Performance Work Statement (PWS)

This PWS outlines the requirements for replacing two existing Computer Room Air Handling (CRAH) units in computer room 191 and adding aisle containment to computer room 191 at Data Center Hawaii. The goal is to address the end-of-life status of current units, which no longer provide adequate room cooling.

• Task 1: Project Management and General Requirements: Includes developing a project schedule, conducting kick-off and weekly status meetings, submitting shop drawings, product data, and other deliverables, investigating existing conditions, and ensuring protection of existing systems.

• Task 2: Replace Computer Room Air Handler (CRAH) Units: Involves removing existing CRAH units, procuring and installing new CRAH units, ensuring at least one unit remains operational during replacement, and connecting to the Building Automation System (BAS).

• Task 3: Electrical for Replacement CRAH Units: Details requirements for reusing or upgrading electrical cable and conduit, conductor identification, and ensuring compliance with electrical codes and safety programs.

• Task 4: Aisle Containment: Covers the procurement and installation of end-of-aisle doors and rack gap panels, including specific configuration and material requirements.

• Task 5: Project Close-Out: Includes providing warranties, final redline/as-built drawings, training for operation and maintenance staff, and submitting Operations & Maintenance (O&M) binders.

• Period of Performance: 12 months upon award.

• Place of Performance: Data Center Hawaii, 477 Essex St Ste 180 (Building 77), Pearl Harbor HI 96860-5815.

• Work Hours: Normal business hours (Monday – Friday, 0700 – 1530), with potential for additional hours coordinated with the Government.

• Noise Limitation: Installation noise limited to 85 dBA during normal working hours; work exceeding this limit requires coordination.

• Hazardous Condition (HAZCON) Notification: Requires notification and approval for HAZCON events, with specific lead times.

• Security: Work is UNCLASSIFIED. Personnel must comply with all local and Government security regulations, including potential escort requirements and restrictions on personal electronic devices.

• Standards: Work must comply with numerous applicable codes and standards, including ANSI, ASHRAE, NFPA, and DISA standards.

• Deliverables: Various submittals are required throughout the project, including project schedules, shop drawings, test results, O&M binders, and warranty information.

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides answers to questions raised by potential bidders regarding Solicitation No: HC102826R0004 for the Data Center Hawaii Rm 191 Computer Room Air Handling (CRAH) Replacement.

• Proposal Due Date Extension: The government noted the closing date on the SAM.gov Amendment and did not explicitly grant a 7-business day extension in this document.
• Volume II Organization: The "List of Table and Drawings" requirement applies only if Volume II contains tables or drawings. Product data sheets and other required attachments can be part of Volume II or an appendix.
• Pricing Submission: Quotes for pricing should be submitted within the Solicitation document CLINS on pages 31-33. The price proposal spreadsheet should be in MS Excel 2007 or newer format.
• CUI: The project is not expected to generate any Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) after award.
• Splices: Splicing is not allowed on existing feeders.
• Cooling Capacity: The required cooling capacity for the new units is 10 tons nominal. The Stulz COS-120 has a capacity of 35 kW, which conflicts with Appendix D's requirement of 140 kW. The proposed unit must fit through the door and into the room without removing the door.
• BAS Compliance: DISA will review product data sheets for BAS compliance. Integration into DISA BAS requires confirmation, as it was not explicitly in the PWS. Paragraph 6.2.3.4 was updated to focus on commissioning and remove BAS interaction.
• Dual Power Source: Only internal dual power is required. If unavailable, single power is acceptable. The project connects to the existing power source regardless of dual power capability.
• CHW Lines: Existing CHW lines may be reused if sized correctly. If upsizing is needed, rerouting per concept drawing M-101 is required. It is anticipated that the existing 1-1/8" pipe will require replacement.
• Schedule: Contractors can choose the project start date; the duration between key tasks is the important portion of the schedule.

These clarifications address technical specifications, submission requirements, and contractual details, which may impact how bidders prepare their proposals. Bidders should review these answers carefully to ensure their proposals meet all updated requirements.
