Summary (Newest Update)

Background The Federal Bureau of Prisons, Field Acquisition Office, is issuing solicitation number 15BBNF26Q00000093 for the replacement of Summer Boiler #2 at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Marion, located in Marion, IL. The goal of this contract is to provide all necessary equipment, labor, materials, and incidentals to remove the existing boiler and install a new watertube boiler system in compliance with applicable codes and specifications. Work Details The contractor will be responsible for: - Complete removal and disposal of the existing 4,800 MBTU summer boiler; - Disconnection and removal of associated steam piping, feedwater piping, blowdown piping, safety valve vent, electrical connections, and a section of the existing stack; - Supplying, delivering, and installing a new Cleaver Brooks M5-700-7500-150St (or equivalent) natural-gas-fired watertube boiler with 7,500 MBTU input / 6,000 MBTU output capacity; - Installation of all required piping, valves, gauges, regulators, safety devices; low-water cutoff; stack components; gas train modifications; feedwater connections; electrical reconnections; installation of new steam spool pieces; a non-return valve; a 4" stop valve; tie-in to the existing steam distribution system; installation and testing of the HAWK actuator system; commissioning; boil-out procedures; operational testing and verification of all safety and control functions. All work must comply with Federal, State, and local codes including IBC, IMC, NEC, NFPA, OSHA standards. Period of Performance The contract performance period is 235 calendar days from the issuance of the notice to proceed. Place of Performance The construction projects will be performed at FCI Marion located at 4500 Prison Road, Marion, IL 62959. Bidder Requirements Bidders must provide performance and payment bonds within 10 days after award. Contractors are required to have an active registration. They must also submit NCIC background check forms for site visits. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent and/or closely related prior contract, as indicated by the closely related/potential incumbent award 15BBNF26C00000033 awarded to Voris Mechanical for $1,164,300 (03/05/26–08/08/26). That prior effort (“REPLACE BOILERS & CONTROLLERS”) aligns with the current requirement to remove an existing boiler and install a new watertube boiler system with associated controls and commissioning/testing. The scope suggests a continuation of boiler replacement work at the same type of facility infrastructure, focusing on similar equipment swap and control integration activities.
