Renovation of a municipal facility in Centennial, Colorado. Completed plans call for the renovation of a municipal facility.

I. INTRODUCTION A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION/RESPONSIBILITIES/MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS The State of Colorado, Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA), is soliciting the submittal of qualifications from firms to provide engineering and design services for the replacement of select heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC) equipment at four (4) Colorado Army National Guard (COARNG) facilities. DMVA intends to retain the services of one (1) firm with qualified and experienced Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing Engineers for HVAC system replacement design. Project Scope: This project will design upgrades to selected major HVAC components at multiple Colorado Army National Guard (COARNG) facilities along the I-25 corridor. The design/construction documents will be used in the future to solicit bids to replace and construct the upgrades. The selected equipment has either a history of failure, is near the end of its useful life, or is inefficient. Facility 1: Watkins Readiness Center - The existing natural gas fired boiler is original to the building (1997) and has a maximum output of approximately 2,000,000 btu/hr. It is the sole source of heat for the entire facility and provides no redundancy in case of failure or malfunction. The associated circulation pumps are of the same age and also provide no redundancy in case of failure or malfunction. We anticipate the replacement design will incorporate multiple high efficiency (96%+) condensing type boilers to allow for a lead-lag control strategy and redundancy. There is also a cooling-only air handler (AHU-2) from 1997 which provides air to the variable air volume (VAV) boxes in the East portion of the building. During summer temperatures the unit requires daily manual resets to function and is at the end of its useful life. Facility 2: Ft. Collins Readiness Center - The existing natural gas fired boiler is an 84% efficient Lochinvar CHN501 with a maximum output of 420,000 btu/hr. It is the sole source of heat for the vast majority of the facility and provides no redundancy in case of failure or malfunction. We anticipate the replacement design will incorporate multiple high efficiency (96%+) condensing type boilers to allow for a lead-lag control strategy and redundancy. Facility 3: Joint Force Headquarters (JFHQ) Centennial Readiness Center - The air handler over the auditorium has shown multiple failures in meeting cooling demand during events and is at the end of its useful life being original to the 1997 building. The other units on the building are a similar age and are also at the end of their useful life. RTU-1 serves the auditorium, RTU-2 serves the locker room and RTU-3 serves the drill floor. Also included in the design is the replacement air handlers on the 2 story and 3 story buildings to move from water-cooled condensers to air-cooled condensers. Facility 4: Buckley Army Aviation Support Facility (AASF) - The air handlers AHU-1 (Trane SFSHC60) and AHU-2 (Trane SFSHC25) are original to the building (2006) and are suffering multiple failures which suggest they are at the end of their useful life. The scope of this project also includes the following items. At Watkins Readiness Center: The boiler, pumps and piping which feed the hydronic heating system for the building. The air handler (AHU-2) and ductwork associated with that unit. Any wiring necessary for functionality and integration with existing building automation. At Ft. Collins Readiness Center: The boiler, pumps and piping hydronic heating system for the building. Any wiring necessary for functionality and integration with existing building automation. At JFHQ Centennial Readiness Center: The roof top air handlers, associated ductwork, and any wiring necessary for functionality and integration with existing building automation. At Buckley AASF: The roof top air handlers, associated ductwork, and any wiring necessary for functionality and integration with existing building automation. Minimum Requirements for Selected Firm: o Qualification Based Selection limited to Professional Services as defined in C.R.S. 24-30-1402. o Past experience with projects of similar scope and complexity. Specifically, 4 similar projects within the last 5 years. B. SELECTION PROCESS The selection of a Project Manager will be conducted in accordance with the Colorado Revised Statutes, 24-30-1401 et. seq. The process will involve two stages. Stage One submittals will be screened and scored. Stage two: A limited number of firms will be short listed and invited to participate in oral interviews. DMVA will attempt to negotiate a contract with the highest ranked firm following the interview segment. Following is additional information relative to the selection process: 1. Mandatory Pre-submittal Conference: To ensure sufficient information is available to firms preparing submittals, a mandatory pre-submittal conference call has been scheduled. The intent of this conference call is to make DMVA staff available to discuss the project. Firms preparing submittals must attend and sign-in in order to have their submittals accepted.
