Specifications include, but are not limited to: 1.1The scope of work will be completed at the University of North Dakota (UND) Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC) site, 15 North 23rd Street, in Grand Forks, North Dakota. It is noted that, after the award has been made, the EERC will be the point of contact for this decommissioning project and will oversee the contractor’s effort. The EERC is acting on behalf of their client, the test facility owner, and will be coordinating contract selection, final scope of work, and cost with the client. Prior to award being made, all communication must be solely with the procurement officer listed on the cover sheet of this solicitation. 1.2The scope of work will involve a contract providing all necessary personnel, equipment (examples include but may not be limited to portable cranes, demolition excavator, manlift, required rigging such as shackles/slings, and tools), truck transport, and other materials and services as required to accomplish the test facility-decommissioning scope of work on the EERC site. The building shall remain intact along with other test facilities within the building. Figure 1 is a photograph of the north side of test facility. An identical overhead door exists on the south side of the building. The overhead door dimensions are nominally 11.5ft wide by 15ft high. These are clear opening-door dimensions. Clear floor space dimensions inside the building will be reviewed during an on-site prebid meeting. Figure 2 is an aerial view of the EERC site showing the location of test facility (High-Bay Technology Demonstration Facility) on the southeast corner of the EERC site. 1.3The general scope of work for the test facility-decommissioning activity will include removal of all 1) process piping/valves; 2) pressure vessels; 3) dry-solids pump and associated hardware; 4) roof discharge piping/stack; 5) pressure relief vent piping through building wall; 6) baghouse/dust collector; 7) equipment support stands; 8) process equipment electrical components and lighting, including wiring, conduit, and wall-mounted junction boxes; 9) cabinets, including contained spare parts for the test facility; 10) high-bay structural steel, including grating, guardrails, beams, columns, and stairwell; and 11) hydraulic power unit (HPU) components. HPU components are located within the building and outside of the west wall of the building.1.4Removal of the HPU components will include two hydraulic motors attached to the pump located on the third floor of the high bay along with a manual remote control unit. Hoses and piping extend from the third-floor motors in the high bay to the HPU cabinet on the west side of the building. Specific items located outside the building include the noise-dampening curtains and supporting structure, the HPU cabinet (including motors, pumps, and controls), three electrical boxes (including conduit/wiring), an air cooler, and hydraulic piping and hose connections. A portable crane will likely be required to remove the outdoor components from the operating location and subsequently load them onto a transport trailer. Hydraulic piping/hoses are located inside and outside of the building and will require some level of draining and spill containment prior to proper recycling or disposal. The EERC will have the local utility deenergize the system before any work begins. 1.5The EERC will provide one operations staff member to operate the building overhead crane to support the decommissioning effort, an electrician as needed to deenergize test facility components, and a project manager to provide project oversight and address any questions that arise during the decommissioning effort.
