Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy, NAVFACSYSCOM MID-ATLANTIC, has issued a Solicitation 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 opportunity is specifically for Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC) holders only. Proposals are due by March 4, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST.
Project Overview
This project addresses the need to replace two 26-year-old MAUs in Building B562, which currently lack dehumidification and have unavailable parts, leading to unsafe conditions. The scope requires the design, provision, and installation of new energy-efficient and cost-effective MAUs that include dehumidification to 50% RH +/- 10%. Innovative solutions, such as Dedicated Outdoor Air Units (DOAS), are permitted. The base bid includes the design, provision, and installation of MAU#1, and design only for MAU#2, with an option for the provision and installation of MAU#2. The work also involves installing associated utilities, integrating new controls with existing building systems, removing old units, testing, and demolishing related equipment like dehumidifier fancoil units and a concrete pad. Environmental considerations include managing excavated soil in a potential PFAS area.
