In the case of a contract for Specialty trade construction contractors, the contractor will not pay more than 85% of the amount paid by the government to it to firms that are not certified SDVOSBs listed in the SBA certification database as set forth in 852.219-73. Any work that a similarly situated subcontractor further subcontracts will count towards the 85% subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. Cost of materials is excluded and not considered to be subcontracted.

PROJECT INFORMATION/STATEMENT OF TASK: This project is to remove all dead leg piping sections. Re-apply insulation to all segments of HW piping where insulation is found to be missing. Install one chlorination injection station per floor. Increase temperature in water heaters to 140 F and where no existing mixing valve exists on the water heater, install a mixing valve to prevent scalding. Extend DHWR piping to within 6 feet of all fixtures and install small mixing valves at each sink/lavatory to allow increased HW supply temperature in piping to sink/lavatory. Replace DHW recirculation pumps to accommodate a larger flow rate. Install chiller (either air-cooled or include cooling tower and condenser water system), heat exchanger, chilled water pumps to chill all incoming domestic water down to below 68 F. Insulate all existing and new CW piping associated with new chilled conditions. Install insulated CW recirculation (DCWR) piping loop parallel to existing CW piping throughout the entire building. Install a continuous-monitoring system on incoming domestic water to monitor pH, chlorine levels, and temperature.
