Water Meter Replacement

This Statement of Work outlines the requirements for project PRQE 262839 to replace water meters across multiple sites at McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita, Kansas. The contractor must furnish all labor, materials, equipment, and expertise to deliver a complete, operational system. The scope of work requires removing existing water meters in Buildings 3, 4, 33, 36, 37, 40, 41, 42, 48, 49, 50, and 65. The contractor will install new Sierra Instruments 203-4-CP-NIST Ultrasonic Digital Liquid Flow Meters with Modbus communication. Key tasks include conducting pre-installation site assessments, coordinating utility shut-offs, providing dedicated power sources, integrating the meters physically and digitally with existing Direct Digital Control (DDC) systems, and performing startup, calibration, and operational testing. Upon completion, the contractor must deliver installation reports, calibration certificates, and O&M manuals. Contractors must comply with federal, state, and local codes, including Kansas Department of Health requirements. Strict operational protocols are detailed for confined space entries, mandatory "call before you dig" utility locating, and base access. Additionally, the contractor must adhere to the McConnell AFB Hazardous Materials Management Program (HMMP), which includes submitting Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and providing monthly chemical usage reports. A mandatory pre-construction meeting and site inspection acknowledgement are required, and the contractor is solely responsible for safety compliance and off-base debris disposal. No government resources will be provided.

This document is a sample National Guard Bureau (NGB) Sources Sought Response Form for 2025. Its primary purpose is to gather market research data from interested contractors to help the government determine if a future construction project can be set aside for small businesses or specific socio-economic categories under FAR Part 19. The form requires interested firms to provide their core company details, including their registered name, address, CAGE code, DUNS number, and socio-economic designations (such as Small Business, 8(a), HUBZone, Woman-Owned, or Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned). Respondents must verify their registration status in the System for Award Management (SAM) under the designated NAICS code. Additionally, businesses must certify their bonding capabilities for both individual and aggregate construction projects. Completing and signing the form is mandatory, as incomplete submissions or missing certifications may exclude a firm's capability from being considered in the government's set-aside determination.
