The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Relocate Generator Pump Controls and Fuel System - 14-0317911 BD Introduction to MD Anderson MD Anderson is known throughout the world for high-quality cancer care, research, academic programs and prevention services. Since its establishment in 1941, MD Anderson has made major contributions to improve the outlook for cancer patients everywhere. MD Anderson was one of the first three federally designated comprehensive cancer centers by the National Cancer Act of 1971. A survey of health professionals has routinely ranked MD Anderson as one of the two premier cancer centers in the nation for the past eight years. Over 55,000 persons annually seek care at MD Anderson. The team approach to cancer care, pioneered at MD Anderson, has been strengthened by consolidating specialty clinics into multi-disciplinary care centers that allow patients to receive more ambulatory care and treatment in a single location. MD Anderson offers one of the largest bone marrow and stem cell transplantation programs, as well as clinical trials to improve existing therapies. Teams of clinical specialists collaborate with scientists on problems of common interest and test theories that shorten the application of better treatment methods. Translational research studies are responsible for the promising field of chemoprevention, which uses synthetic vitamins to reverse pre-malignant lesions and halt the recurrence of some cancers, and for innovative gene therapy strategies being evaluated for several forms ofcancer. With faculty and staff working in more than 30 buildings in the greater Houston area and in central Texas, MD Anderson is the largest freestanding cancer center in the world. The physical plant covers more than 11 million square feet, featuring the latest equipment and facilities to support growing needs in outpatient and inpatient care, research, prevention and education. It includes inpatient hospital facilities with 571 beds. Construction projects include the addition of 12 floors that can accommodate more than 300 new inpatient beds in Alkek Hospital on the North Campus; two new research buildings on the South Campus that will house the Center for Advanced Biomedical Imaging Research and Center for Targeted Therapy as part of the McCombs Institute; and MD Anderson's first facility on its Mid Campus, a 25-story building to support current office space and future growth needs. In addition to its main campus in the Texas Medical Center and two research campuses in Bastrop County, Texas, MD Anderson has developed a number of local, national and international affiliations RFx Overview PRE-SUBMITTAL CONFERENCE: April 23, 2014 10:00 AM Local Time Fannin Holcombe Building 6900 Fannin Street Room 8.1035 Houston, Texas 77030 PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE: Plumbing 1. Upgrade all the fuel systems except the system serving the Gimbel Building, Anderson Building, and the Bates Freeman Building. Therefore, (3) master fuel control panels and (2) leak detection/fuel level panels will be replaced with a new master fuel panel for each system which will include the fuel transfer pump controls and the fuel level monitoring for the underground storage tanks including leak detection into a single panel for each system. 2. Provide a total of (3) new master fuel control panels. Provide one master fuel control panel for the Clinic Research Building/Alkek Building and another panel for the Basic Science Research Building. Provide another master fuel control panel for the Old Clark Clinic/Lutheran Hospital Pavilion fuel system and the New Clark Clinic/Love Clinic/Le Maistre and Basic Research Building fuel system. 3. Interface the new master fuel control panels with the DOC system and the SquareD Powerlogic system. 4. Per direction from MD Anderson, the (2) existing underground fuel storage tanks, fuel transfer pumps and master control panel which serve the New Clark Clinic/Love Clinic/Le Maistre Clinic and Basic Research Building will be taken out of service. The generators serving these buildings will be now be served from the same underground fuel tanks which serve the Old Clark Clinic/Lutheran Hospital Pavilion. 5. Replace the monitoring panel for all the generator day tanks with more reliable and intelligent panels which will interface with the master fuel control panels. 6. Rework the venting systems for the generator day tanks to be code compliant. 7. The day tanks have a gravity fuel return system will flow back to the underground storage tank, if the day tank overfills. In order to test the operation of the day tank fill valves, level sensors, alarms, etc. the gravity systems should be reworked to become pumped fuel return systems. To accomplish this, a fuel return pump will be added to each generator day tank assembly. A solenoid valve will be added to the return line on each individual underground storage tank. A solenoid valve on each tank return line will ensure the fuel will be returned to the same tank it is drawn from. 8. There are two fuel fill ports located outside for the (6) underground tanks. There is not a fill monitoring panel for the tanks to allow the fuel delivery service to monitor the tank level as they are filling a tank. It is recommended to provide a separate fill port for each underground storage tank in order to eliminate potential user error when filling the tanks and to also shorten the fill time for the tanks. A tank fill monitoring panel will be provided which will monitor the tank levels during the filling of the tanks. 9. The fuel in the underground tanks is currently filtered and maintained by a service company to ensure the fuel does not turn bad. Provide a fuel filtration & maintenance assembly which will eliminate the need for a service company to maintain the fuel quality. Electrical 1. Provide all new low voltage wiring for new leak detectors, flow transmitters and flow sensors for the existing underground storage tanks and day tanks. 2. Upgrade power sources for existing underground submersible pump motors to allow for increased redundancy. 3. Provide new 120V emergency circuits for new return pump motors, underground storage tank pump motors, day tank control panels and master fuel control panels. 4. Connect the new Master Fuel Control Panels to the Square D Powerlogic system to allow for remote monitoring of all tank sensors. Powerlogic system shall provide a graphical representation of the entire fuel system with real time data on fuel levels, flows etc. This is just an outline of the scope of work. You will be expected to following all drawings and specifications furnished by Shah Smith and MD Anderson. Questions related to this RFP must be sent via the information request form. All questions must be received no later than April 25, 2014 4:00 PM. Questions received after this time will not be accepted. Questions will not be answered via telephone.
