The objective of the project is to provide standby power for chilled water generation in support of laboratories and buildings on the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) campuses. **Background:** Currently, the RTP CUP does not have backup electrical power for any of the chilled water production facilities. If the campus electrical utility service were to fail, the RTP campus would not have the ability to provide chilled water for cooling and humidification control in the Vivarium and research facilities. Buildings, laboratories, and facilities on the RTP and EPA campuses require continuous chilled water flow. If chilled water service is interrupted vivarium research and highly sensitive scientific equipment that requires stringent temperature and humidity controls could be damaged. Therefore, the ability to quickly recover from electric power failure is of paramount importance for assured continued operations. The objective of this project is to improve the Medium Voltage Electric (MVE) infrastructure for the NIEHS campus and upgrade the power production and distribution system for standby chiller function within the CUP. This work will consist of correcting medium voltage and low voltage duct bank settlement concerns and conductors throughout campus, replacement of existing medium voltage feeder 107/204 fed from Building 107 to all connected loads, installation of above ground medium voltage switches for all taps, construction of a new medium voltage generator yard and electrical vault underneath ground to provide uninterruptable chilled water production and harden power distribution for critical support buildings serving the RTP campus. This requirement is a Design-Build (DB) project to improve the MVE infrastructure for the NIEHS campus and upgrade the power production and distribution system for standby chiller function within the CUP. The DB Contractor is to provide all services for review of existing conditions, preparation of stamped construction documents from the provided bridging documents, provide professional solutions supported by engineering calculations, and turnkey construction in accordance with the bridging documents and contract requirements. Magnitude of project: $25,000,000 - $100,000,000 Work to be performed under the project may include but is not limited to any of the disciplines listed in North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes as follows: NAICS of 236220- Commercial and Institutional Building Construction Contractors responding to this notice to perform the contract as small business joint ventures shall use the procedures described at the Small Business administration (SBA) web site.
