About CHAMP

NNSA has initiated enterprise level Asset Management Program (AMPs) as a key strategy for increasing its purchasing power to improve the condition of critical infrastructure systems that are common across the DOE/NNSA Complex. On December 8, 2015, DOE/NNSA announced its agreement with LLNS to implement the Cooling and Heating Asset Management Program (CHAMP) – formerly known as HVAC AMP. The CHAMP will develop partnerships within DOE/NNSA Complex and within the construction and HVAC communities to improve the condition of HVAC Systems to support mission requirements and to reduce deferred maintenance growth at Participating Sites. Demonstrated success of AMP and CHAMP will secure the success of future DOE/NNSA missions.

As the lead M&O Contractor responsible for CHAMP, LLNS will be responsible for ensuring the overall successful implementation of CHAMP and providing the technical direction, oversight, and subcontracting on behalf of the DOE/NNSA complex. LLNS looks forward to welcoming the successful Offeror in response to the CHAMP solicitation into this unique and exciting collaboration of government, M&O and industrial partners – all of whom are dedicated to arresting the declining state of NNSA infrastructure, improving its productivity and safety, reducing energy consumption, shrinking the footprint, and lowering operating costs.

As the CHAMP Subcontractor, the Subcontractor will provide both Architectural-Engineering (A-E) and Construction Management Services. As the A-E, the Subcontractor will provides designs for selected projects to replace HVAC Infrastructure. A-E efforts will include such services as Title I-III architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and civil engineering and other related engineering and professional support services in support of HVAC replacement. As the Construction Manager the Subcontractor provides construction management services. Construction Management efforts will include such services as scoping, competing and awarding the construction; managing, overseeing and administering the resultant subcontracts; and resolving technical clarifications for the Subcontractor’s lower-tier construction subcontractors. The Subcontractor shall not self-perform the construction nor award it to any affiliates. Instead, the Subcontractor shall compete the construction efforts and subcontract them to qualified lower-tier build subcontractors in accordance with the requirements of the MTA Statement of Work.

The Offeror is required to provide the following information to the LLNS Contract Analyst: names of persons attending (last, first and middle as shown on ID), date of birth, social security number, and the firm they will be representing.  Individuals must show proper identification prior to gaining access to Participating Sites.

LLNS desires a Subcontractor that is willing and able to proactively address the diverse needs for safety, environmental protection, security and quality across the DOE/NNSA Complex.

To familiarize the Offerors with the diverse needs of the Participating Sites, LLNS will lead tours of Participating Sites that are representative of these needs over a one-week period. The Participating Sites will be available for inspection ONLY during the specified time. 

The Participating Sites to be toured are as follows:

Offerors are required to plan, at their expense, to have the appropriate personnel participate in these tours. LLNS will furnish additional instructions for submitting information to secure site access as well as an itinerary once Offerors have provided their information.

U.S. citizens entering Participating Sites will be required to show a valid driver’s license from a jurisdiction that meets the requirements of the REAL ID Act of 2005, identify themselves as U.S. citizens, and provide other identifying information such as a social security number.  Information regarding the REAL ID Act, its requirements, and a list of noncompliant states may be found at: http://www.dhs.gov/real-id-enforcement-brief.  If an individual holds a license from a noncompliant jurisdiction, they will be required to show a secondary form of identification (i.e., U.S. passport, U.S. passport card, or U.S. military ID card) in order to be granted access to Participating Sites.

Offerors are responsible for arriving at each Participating Site early enough to allow sufficient time for the badging process.  Those attending the site inspection shall bring their own hard hats, safety glasses, and hard-toed safety footwear.

Site access to Participating Sites is affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.  To ensure the safety and security of all persons on site and Participating Site facilities, the Participating Sites follow evolving directions from the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and other authorities.   Consequently, the Participating Sites’ operational modes are dynamic, and may change with or without advance notice. 

For any site inspection at LLNL, Offerors shall follow the guidance provided in the COVID-19 Site Access Requirements document found at the website: https://supplychain.llnl.gov/supplier-information/special-provisions.  Please note that the COVID-19 Site Access Requirements document is subject to change as guidance evolves.

For site inspections at the remaining Participating Sites, the Offerors should review the local Participating Site Guidance displayed on this Website for applicable site access requirements.

Offerors should discuss each Participating Site’s access requirements with all proposed attendees.
