Building 1515 Steam System Replacement with Gas-Fired Hot-Water Boilers

Hill Air Force Base is seeking a design-build replacement of the steam heating system in Building 1515 with a decentralized natural-gas hot-water boiler plant. - Government buyer: U.S. Air Force, Air Force Sustainment Center / 309th SWEG, Hill Air Force Base, Utah; related project documents also identify the 75th Civil Engineering office. - Scope: Design, remove the existing steam and condensate equipment, install new boilers and hydronic equipment, connect natural-gas and venting systems, and integrate the new plant with existing building controls. - Primary equipment and OEMs: Three RBI Futera III gas-fired boilers (or approved equivalents), three Patterson vertical inline boiler pumps (or equivalents), and one Niles Steel Tank hydraulic separator/buffer tank (or equivalent). The boilers are to be sized for the building load and N+1 or partial redundancy. - Controls and delivery requirements: Integrate with the existing Direct Digital Control/Energy Management Control System using BACnet. Provide design and engineering, commissioning and testing, manufacturer-recommended startup, and warranties. Design and material acquisition are to precede the planned steam shutdown; construction is estimated at about 60 days after shutdown. - Notable site conditions: An inspection for steam-line removal reported no asbestos in sampled areas but found lead-based paint on some metal components, requiring appropriate handling and abatement before renovation or demolition. Hill AFB mechanical, natural-gas, electrical, safety, environmental, and quality requirements apply. - Procurement information: The solicitation attachment reports an estimated value of $1 million–$5 million and a small-business set-aside. The Q&A attachment describes the acquisition as full and open and notes that room-by-room scope, equipment sizing, and some schedule details were unresolved; these documents appear inconsistent, so the solicitation controls. - Other named manufacturers and products in reference attachments: Supporting standards and legacy as-built schedules name Cummins/Onan, Honeywell/Vindicator, Schneider, HES, Adams Rite, Ditek, Trane, Bell & Gossett, Wessels, Ruskin, and Spirax Sarco. These are mentioned in facility standards or background drawings and should not be read as additional Building 1515 boiler requirements. - Reference attachment caution: Some supplied drawings concern other Hill AFB facilities and list HVAC equipment unrelated to the Building 1515 boiler replacement. Their listed items are recorded below as attachment line items, not as confirmed purchases for this project.

Description

Upgrade the existing heating infrastructure in building 1515 on Hill AFB in accordance with the Statment of Work. The objective is to transition from the current steam heat exchanger system to a more efficient, decentralized gas-fired hot water boiler system.
