Fermilab Wilson Hall Floor 16 fire-rating and mechanical upgrades

Fermi Forward Discovery Group, LLC is seeking construction proposals for fire-rating and mechanical upgrades to Wilson Hall’s 16th-floor electrical and elevator machine rooms at Fermilab. - Buyer and location: Fermi Forward Discovery Group, LLC (FFDG), managing Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Science. The work is associated with Fermilab’s Infrastructure Services Division (ISD), ISD Engineering, Construction Management Office, and Procurement Department. Site: Batavia, Illinois. - Requested work: Upgrade the east and west electrical rooms and elevator machine rooms to meet fire-code requirements. Work includes field surveys, selective demolition, fire-rated construction, mechanical and electrical work, testing, commissioning, cleanup, and closeout. Project reference: 2-1-561; Itrack life-safety reference: document #11247, update E and W elevator room. - Products and quantities identified in the drawings and scope: - Four indoor mechanical units, tags AC-1 through AC-4, one per room; AC-2 and AC-3 are identified at 1,112 CFM each. - One outdoor VRF condenser, tag AC-5, located on a stand near the west-side exterior/roof area. - One electric unit heater, tag EUH-1. - Six 90-minute fire-rated doors and frames, including Steelcraft L-Series N4 galvanized-steel doors; scheduled tags include 1601, 1606, 1607A, 1607B, 1608A, and 1608B. - One prefabricated metal stair and one handrail/railing outside the east electrical room. - Other specified materials include firestopping systems, gypsum board and metal studs, CMU repair/infill, and electrical wiring, cable, low-voltage components, a transformer, and a sub-panel; quantities are not provided in the summaries. - OEMs and manufacturers named: Trane Inc. is specified for the VRF system; Steelcraft (Allegion plc) is specified for hollow-metal doors. Acceptable firestopping manufacturers include 3M, Hilti, NUCO, Specified Technologies, and Tremco. No specific models or part numbers are provided for most equipment. - Notable requirements: Construct two-hour-rated walls, ceilings, and penetrations; install rated doors and firestopping; keep existing sprinkler, standpipe, fire detection/voice alarm, exit signage, and emergency lighting operational during work. Electrical-room doors must swing in the egress direction and have panic hardware. HVAC work includes refrigerant and condensate piping, startup, testing, adjusting, balancing, commissioning, and owner documentation/training. Fermilab furnishes a fire-alarm relay for final connections. Field verification and coordination are required. - Performance schedule: One scope schedule describes 110 calendar days from Notice to Proceed, including submittals, construction, completion, and closeout. Another project-manual schedule sets construction completion by day 80 and closeout by day 100; no calendar start or end dates are specified. - Other referenced material: A CESHC exhibit describes general energy-savings performance-contract services, including energy-conservation project development, financing, and related operation and maintenance; it does not identify project-specific equipment or quantities.
