Project Description: The project will be located at the UC Davis Health Central Plant in Sacramento. The Central Plant is to install a new ULTRA(R) thermal decomposition urea conversion system (by FuelTech) to provide ammonia for the reduction of NOx from the gas turbine prior to the exhausting out of the HRSG stack. This project scope is for the replacement of the ammonia injection system, including the ammonia distribution balancing manifold, header, and ammonia injection grid (AIG) to ensure the following design criteria are met: 1. The AIG will achieve 5 PPM NOX (corrected to 15% O2) or less continuously whole the gas turbine is operating at part load and full load. Inlet conditions for the AIG will be up to 562,000 LB/HR exhaust flow (flue gas) with 42 PPM NOX (corrected to 15% O2). 2. The ammonia/NOx molar ratio at the face of the SCR catalyst is less than 15% RMS across the entire cross section of the catalyst. 3. The velocity distribution at the face of the SCR catalyst is less than 15% RMS. Project scope shall include: - Demolition of existing ammonia distribution balancing manifold, header, and AIG including valves and instrumentation - Design and component fabrication for the replacement ammonia distribution balancing manifold, header, and AIG with valves and instrumentation - Demonstration of new AIG design meeting the above-mentioned design criteria - Ammonia balancing and tuning services to ensure the stack NOx emission and ammonia slip meeting the permitting requirements. - Modification/ repair of existing HRSG casing, internal liners, insulation, and other items as necessary to ensure the HRSG casing is leak tight, meeting industry standard, and safe for continuous operation upon completion of the demolition and installation (within the project scope) The UC Davis Health Central Plant is an operational hospital facility. The project will use the design-build delivery method, where the design builder will work collaboratively with the University and its internal and external partners to validate the programmatic requirements and develop the construction documents, and subsequently obtain all approvals necessary for construction. The project will be subject to internal design review prior to each submittal to the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). The AHJ for the Central Plant portion of project shall the UC Davis Health's Building Official and SFM. Maximum Design and Construction Cost: $500,000 Anticipated Project Award Date: August 2023 Anticipated Project Duration (Design, Approvals, Construction): 6 months Participants arriving later than 2:05 p.m. will not be allowed to submit proposals as a Design-Builder on the project. Attendance will be confirmed by contact information entered in virtual chat; please designate one person from each firm who will confirm attendance. Procedures: Editable copies of the Prequalification Questionnaire will be available at our website beginning on Wednesday, June 26, 2023. Questions may be addressed via email to Nicole Quintero, Contracts Administrator at nicquintero@ucdavis.edu. Design-Builders must agree to comply with all proposal conditions including state prevailing wages, 10% bid bond, 100% payment and performance bonds, insurance requirements, and attend in its entirety the mandatory prequalification conference in order to prequalify for this project. The 5 proposers receiving the top highest scores will be invited to participate in a Level 2 interview. From the Level 2 interview process, the three (3) most qualified teams will be invited to participate in the design-build solicitation process (RFP Phase). A copy of the Design-Build contract will be provided to the teams who successfully qualify to enter the Level 3 - RFP competition phase. Following the submittal of technical and cost proposals, a contract will be awarded to the team that offers the University the lowest cost per technical points. The University reserves the right to reject any or all responses to this notice, to waive non-material irregularities, and to deem design-builders prequalified to submit proposals for the project. All information submitted for prequalification evaluation will be considered official information acquired in confidence, and the University will maintain its confidentiality to the extent permitted by law. Every effort will be made to ensure that all persons have equal access to contracts and other business opportunities with the University within the limits imposed by law or University policy. Each Bidder may be required to show evidence of its equal employment opportunity policy. The successful Bidder and its subcontractors will be required to follow the nondiscrimination requirements set forth in the Bidding Documents and to pay prevailing wages at the location of the work. The work described in the contract is a public work subject to section 1771 of the California Labor Code. No contractor or subcontractor, regardless of tier, may be listed on a Bid for, or engage in the performance of, any portion of this project, unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5 and 1771.1. This project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. The successful Bidder shall pay all persons providing construction services and/or any labor on site, including any University location, no less than the UC Fair Wage (defined as $15 per hour as of 10/01/2017) and shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local working condition requirements.
