Renovation of a mixed-use development in Little Rock, Arkansas. Working plans call for the renovation of a medical facility.

Abbreviated Scope of Work: A. The objective of the project is to remove and replace the existing heating water infrastructure with a new system while offering minimal system interruption. The work will be completed in phases to help alleviate service interruptions. A brief description of each phase is listed below. The construction period of performance for this project is estimated to be 240 days. B. The work includes replacing steam pressure reducing stations, steam to hot water convertors, pumps, automatic valves, piping, and other boiler / hot water pumping system related equipment. Project will include extending piping system to permit tie-in for new equipment. This list is not exhaustive. Detailed construction and equipment plans have been provided with the packet. C. Phase 1 will consist of coordinating a shutdown of the high-pressure steam distribution to the steam pressure reducing station (PRS) in the 3rd level mechanical equipment room (MER). Demolish the existing PRS piping and valves and prepare the remaining connections for the new work. Install the new PRS piping and valves. Contractor to provide testing and demonstration of the new system for proper operation and response to outside air temperature inputs prior to turnover to the VA. Demolish existing medium pressure condensate flash tank at the mezzanine level of the energy center and prepare piping connections for new equipment. Install new medium pressure condensate flash tank in the same location. contractor to provide testing and demonstration of the new system for proper operation prior to turnover to the VA. D. Phase 2 will install (2) new steam-to-hot water heat exchangers, pumps, auxiliary equipment, and concrete housekeeping pad on the north side of the MER stairwell, as shown on the plans. Install new condensate piping to accommodate the new equipment and prepare for connection to existing piping. Contractor to test and demonstrate proper operation of the new system and response to control inputs prior to turnover to the VA. Demolish (2) existing steam-to-hot water heat exchangers, pumps, and auxiliary equipment, as shown on the plans. Demolish existing steam/hydronic/vent/condensate piping to the limits of demolition and prepare for connection to new piping. E. Phase 3 will install new steam-to-hot water heat exchanger, pump, and auxiliary equipment to serve the operating suites in pods 2B & 2F, as shown on the plans. Install new steam/hydronic/vent/condensate piping to accommodate the new equipment and prepare for connection to existing piping. demolish existing steam-to-hot water heat exchanger, pump, and auxiliary equipment, as shown on the plans. Demolish existing steam/hydronic/vent/condensate piping to the limits of demolition and prepare for connection to new piping. Install new automated crossover valve spool-piece between the primary HHW and operating room HHW distribution systems to permit full-temperature HHW to the operating room suites during the summer season. Extend the HHWS/R piping from the operating room heat exchanger to the pod 2F operating room suites. Contractor to provide testing and demonstration of the new system for proper operation and response to control inputs prior to turnover to the VA. F. Phase 4 will extend 1-1/2"HHWS/R piping from the 6th floor level in mechanical shaft NE-2 up to the 7th floor level and connect to existing HHWS/R piping to serve pod 7E. Contractor to provide testing and demonstration of the new system for proper operation prior to turnover to the VA. Demolish existing steam-to-hot water heat exchanger, pumps, and auxiliary equipment in the 7e penthouse. Demolish existing steam / hydronic / vent / condensate piping to the limits of the demolition. G. Work consists of the contractor providing all labor, equipment, transportation, materials, quality control and supervision necessary to conduct construction in accordance with the project specifications and drawings. H. The project is in an occupied and fully functioning hospital. All technical considerations associated with such, as well as appropriate noise, language and behavioral considerations shall be followed to the maximum extent. Quiet hours must be observed during non- business hours. Business hours are between 7a - 5p/7 days a week. This includes Asbestos Abatement. I. Contractor parking shall be coordinated with the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR). The contractor shall park in the designated spots only. Contractor parking will be located adjacent to the Grounds Building. VAAR 836.204| Disclosure of the magnitude of construction projects. Between $2,000,000 and $5,000,000.
