Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy / NAVFACSYSCOM MID-ATLANTIC is soliciting proposals for a Design/Build project to replace two existing Makeup Air Units (MAU) in Building B562 at Naval Submarine Base New London, Groton, CT. This effort aims to upgrade outdated HVAC infrastructure, improve air quality, and ensure dehumidification. Proposals are due April 29, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST.
Scope of Work
This Design-Build project involves the replacement of two 26-year-old Makeup Air Units (MAUs) that lack dehumidification and have unavailable parts. The new units must match existing capacities, include dehumidification to 50% RH +/- 10%, and be energy-efficient and cost-effective. Innovative solutions like Dedicated Outdoor Air Units (DOAS) are permitted. The scope includes:
- Design, provision, and installation of MAU#1 (Base Bid).
- Design only for MAU#2 (Base Bid), with provision and installation as Option 1.
- Demolition of existing Horizontal Dehumidifier Fancoil Units (FC-1/2) and Air Cooled Condensing Units (CND-1/2).
- Integration of new MAU controls with the existing building DDC system.
- Installation of additional utilities (electrical, disconnect, piping, gas).
- Compliance with environmental regulations, particularly concerning a potential PFAS area.
