The Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) is issuing solicitation 15BFA025B00000034 for the award of a firm-fixed-price construction contract for a project entitled Replace Fire Pump at the Federal Correctional Complex Tucson (FCC Tucson), located in Tucson, Arizona. FCC Tucson is a federal correctional facility located at at 8901 South Wilmot Rd., Tucson, AZ, 85756.

The FBOP intends to make a single award to a responsible entity that will provide all necessary labor, equipment, materials, and related services for the Replace Fire Pump project. This work shall be performed in accordance with the specifications and drawings.

The project consists of the following:
SCOPE OF WORK:
Contractor shall completely prepare site, including demolition and removal of existing equipment, structures, and furnish labor and materials and perform work for removal of the existing diesel fire pump and replacement of the electric fire pump, including all necessary modifications to power supplies and equipment pads. The replacement electric fire pump will be a similar size to the existing fire pump, but its new controller will be equipped with a transfer switch, and a new jockey pump will also be installed, as shown on the attached drawings and specifications.
The work includes, but is not limited to, replacing the electric fire pump controller with a controller that includes a transfer switch. The facility will be decommissioning the existing diesel engine-driven fire pump and the controller, jockey pump and controller fuel tank and venturi test meter. The fire pump system will be out of service during this time. The contractor shall provide a temporary fire pump while the existing pump is out of service. The temporary pump shall be an electrical driven pump on a flatbed truck and connected to the system with hard suction hose connected to the nearby fire hydrant and interfaced to the existing system piping. The temporary pump shall have integral controls for automatic starting upon system pressure drop. The existing fire pump is to remain in service while the temporary arrangement is fitted. The temporary fire pump shall be sized for sprinkler demands. Additional work includes modifications and upgrades to power supplies and equipment pads as necessary to accommodate the new fire pumps and associated equipment for a fully functioning and operating system.
