Air Compressor Relocation

This Request for Quotation (RFQ), solicitation number N0017326Q1905, is issued by the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, DC. The objective of this procurement is to secure a firm-fixed-price contract to relocate two air compressors from the interior to the exterior of NRL Building 65, in accordance with the provided Statement of Work and technical drawings. The solicitation is a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 238210 (Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors) with a size standard of $19,000,000. Proposals must be submitted electronically by September 23, 2026, at 1:00 PM GMT. The planned period of performance is from September 30, 2026, to December 4, 2026. Interested offerors must coordinate and complete a mandatory site visit prior to submitting a quote. Proposals must be organized into three distinct volumes: Technical Quote (Volume I), Past Performance (Volume II), and Price Quote (Volume III). Award will be made to a single responsible vendor using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process. Technical acceptability will be evaluated on a pass/fail basis, which includes the mandatory site visit requirement. Past performance will also be rated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis, and the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offer with a fair and reasonable price will be selected for award. Invoices and payments will be processed electronically through the Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) system.

This Statement of Work outlines the requirements to relocate two existing air compressors from mechanical room 026B in Building 65 to a new, exterior metal shed at the US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, DC. The contractor is responsible for providing all services, materials, and labor to construct an insulated, concrete-slab-founded metal shed (approximately 10’ x 21’) equipped with an exhaust fan, heater, electrical panel, and a fire alarm system integrated into Building 65. Key technical tasks include extending the Siemens BAS wiring, a 3” copper compressed air line, and 480V power from Building 65 to the new shed using rigid galvanized conduit and liquid-tight connections. To prevent operational disruption, one compressor must remain functional at all times, with outages restricted to weekends. The contractor must adhere to strict Federal, Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC), and OSHA guidelines, and submit an Accident Prevention Plan and Activity Hazard Analysis before starting work. Additionally, the contractor must conduct pre-construction asbestos/lead testing, coordinate utility interruptions, obtain required permits, and manage waste diversion through recycling. Comprehensive post-construction closeout deliverables, including O&M manuals, waste disposition records, and equipment warranties, are required before final payment is approved.

This federal government document contains engineering drawings and electrical panel schedules for the P275 Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Electronic Science and Technology Laboratory project, managed by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command. The primary scope of work detailed in the plans is the relocation of the Building 65 compressed air skid compressor units to an outdoor location. The document provides site plan details, mechanical elevations, and reconnection points for the compressed air system. Additionally, the document includes comprehensive electrical wiring panel schedules located in Electrical Room 026A to support the facility's power distribution system: - **Panel MP65A (480/277V, 3-Phase, 400A):** Details circuit connections for various mechanical loads, including pumps, air handling units (AHUs), and air conditioning units (ACs), with a total connected load of 183.1 KVA. - **Panel MR65A (208/120V, 3-Phase, 100A):** Details lower-voltage branch circuits for receptacles, unit heaters, and small exhaust fans. - **Panel MP65B (480/277V, 3-Phase, 400A):** Dedicated to Bid Item 1, scheduling circuits for electric unit heaters serving the basement, first, second, and third floors, with a total connected load of 252.6 KVA. These schematics serve as reference and design guidelines for contractors bidding on or executing the mechanical and electrical utility modifications at the NRL facility.
