Description
STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)
FOR
U.S Coast Guard Station Tawas
Fan Coil Unit Replacement
1.0 GENERAL
Background
The U.S. Coast Guard Station (STA) Tawas operates a facility equipped with an extensive hydronic heating and cooling system, which relies on fan coil units (FCUs) to maintain appropriate environmental conditions throughout the building. The existing FCUs have reached the end of their service life and require replacement to ensure continued operational efficiency and occupant comfort.
To address this need, the project seeks to procure Enviro Tech VFS-C size 02 fan coil units, which are direct replacements for the current units. These units meet the original design specifications and can be integrated into the existing system without requiring modifications to piping, wiring, or electrical services. This approach minimizes disruption to facility operations and avoids the significant costs and complexity associated with redesigning the hydronic system, which would be necessary if alternate coil units were used. Such redesigns would involve changes to wall structures, piping sizes, and electrical interfaces, potentially impacting installation timelines and increasing project risk.
The purpose of this project is to ensure reliable, efficient heating and cooling at STA Tawas by replacing aging FCUs with units that match the facility’s established requirements. This replacement supports ongoing facility maintenance and aligns with the Coast Guard’s broader objectives of maintaining safe, functional, and energy-efficient infrastructure. By selecting direct replacement units, the project leverages past practices and current policies that prioritize compatibility and operational continuity, thereby facilitating a smooth transition and minimizing impacts on station operations.
Scope
This Statement of Work (SOW) covers the fabrication and delivery of twenty (20) vertical, floor-mounted, exposed cabinet fan coil units (Enviro Tech VFS-C size 02) to the U.S. Coast Guard Station Tawas. Seventeen (17) units shall be 41” in length, and three (3) units shall be 51” in length, with all units meeting specified design and material requirements. The contractor is responsible for providing fan coil units that are direct replacements for the existing units, ensuring compatibility with the facility’s current hydronic heating and cooling system, and avoiding the need for modifications to piping, wiring, or electrical services.
The scope of work is limited to the fabrication and delivery of the specified fan coil units to STA Tawas. Installation, system redesign, or any modifications to the facility’s infrastructure are not included in this SOW. The contractor shall not provide alternate coil units or undertake any work beyond the supply and delivery of the specified units.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this project is to procure and deliver twenty (20) Enviro Tech VFS-C size 02 fan coil units that serve as direct replacements for the existing units at U.S. Coast Guard Station Tawas. The goal is to ensure continued, reliable, and efficient heating and cooling within the facility by providing fan coil units that fully align with established design specifications and operational requirements. The delivered units will be used to maintain optimal environmental conditions, support ongoing facility maintenance, and uphold the Coast Guard’s standards for safe and functional infrastructure, without requiring modifications to the existing hydronic system.
