Computer Room Sprinkler Project - ? -
1. On 28 April 1982, the undersigned. met with repre-
sentatives of the General Services Administration (GSA) to 3 0 APR 1982
discuss the project to install chilled water and steam lines
and a ductbank and feeder from the Powerplant to the north
side of the Headquarters Building and install sprinkler and
halon in the Headquarters Building Computer Centers. The
following were in attendance:
HEB/RECD/OL
fliomas Graves - GSA/Design Management
Elbert Humphrey - GSA Repair and Alterations (R&A)
Tony Rivera - GSA/R&A
Art Miller - GSA Estimating
Ken Ward - GSA Estimating
The meeting was called to attempt to clarify the contractual
and funding issues which must be resolved prior to award of
this contract.
2. Following are the major points that were discussed.
a.. GSA stated the prospectus authority for this
project expires at the end of FY-82 and that unless
they can obtain an extension, the contract would have
to be awarded in FY-82 or all funds would be lost and
the approval cycle reinitiated.
b. The prospectus funding limitation is approxi-
mately $1.35.million for the chilled water and steam
lines and $400,000 for the sprinkler systems. The
current GSA construction cost estimate is $314,000 for
the sprinkler systems and $1,950,000 for the chilled
water and steam lines which exceeds the prospectus
limit.
c. Various options for reducing the cost below
the prospectus limit were discussed. The most viable
options appear to be: 1. The elimination of the
chilled water and steam line runs in the Headquarters
Building (which would be completed at a later date),
or. 2. the elimination of the sprinkler work and steam
line runs in the Headquarters Building and Powerplant

(but not the underground lines). This latter option
would allow the entire chilled water line run to be
installed.
d. The undersigned stated that it was the Agency's
position that the ductbank must be installed with the
chilled water and steam lines in order to effect a
cost savings to the Government and not disrupt Agency
activities a second time for ductbank construction.
Further, it was stated that the ductbank and feeder
must be installed prior initiation of GSA RSA project
to replace the existing manhole cable racks. GSA had
no comment on the mention of the 28 March 1980 Agency
request to use $200,000 from the generator project for
the ductbank. The ductbank remains a reimbursable item
in the contract.
C. GSA R&A personnel stated that no add-alternates
could be included in the contract unless all RFA and
Agency funds were available and obligated. Furthermore,
no add-alternates utilizing FY-83 funds could be in-
cluded in an FY-82 contract.
f. The possibility of contracting any items not
completed under an FY-82 contract, with the exception
of the sprinklers, under a separate FY-83 contract may
be possible, but GSA indicated further investigation
on their part was necessary.
g. GSA will investigate the possibility-of being
granted an extension on the prospectus deadline and
obtaining the necessary FY-83 funds to complete all
chilled water, steamline and sprinkler work in FY-83.
h. GSA R&A personnel indicated the FY-80 Agency
work order for $200,600 written for the 1S KVA feeder
was fixed price and that if no Agency-operated modifi-
cations were made to the original scope of the project,
GSA would have to install the feeder at that price.
i.. GSA will perform all necessary cost estimates
and research and send a letter to the Agency in two to
three weeks outlining all of the available options
and required reimbursable funding necessary to award

the contract. GSA will also state in the letter
the date all reimbursable funding must be sent to
them to allow an FY-82 contract award. Mr. Graves
indicated informally that all Agency funds would
have to be received by them prior to 30 June 1982.
