Council Directed The Public Service To Implement The Ceir In July 2022. In Addition, The  Ceir Identifies That After Reducing The Need For Energy And Increasing Energy Efficiency,  Electrification Of Heating In Buildings Is Key To Meeting City Of Winnipeg Climate Targets. (i)     The City Is Committed To Optimizing Energy Efficiency And Reducing Carbon Emissions Within  The Pan Am Pool Building. To Align With The City’s Climate Target Of Achieving Net-zero Emissions  By 2050, The Consultant Must Consider Any Elements Within The agreed-upon Finalized Scope That Impact Energy Consumption And Carbon Emissions. If Such Elements Are Identified, The Consultant Shall: (i)     Design With Net Zero Carbon Ready And/or Low Carbon Principles In Mind.

The Consultant Should Explore "solar Ready" Principles: (i)     The High Humidity In A Pool's Exhaust Air Presents Challenges During Winter When Utilizing  A Heat Recovery Unit. In These Conditions, The Moisture In The Exhaust Air Freezes Upon Contact  With Outside Air Temperatures, Severely Compromising The Efficiency Of The Unit Or Rendering It  Completely Ineffective. The Building Provides A Good Opportunity For Solar Energy Capture To  Pre-heat The Ventilation Air. Kgs Conducted A Solar Energy Report, Evaluating Two Options For Solar  Ventilation Air Heating: A Solar Wall Covering The Main Pool Area's South-facing Elevation, And  Solar Ducts Installed On The Roof Of The Lap Pool Addition. (ii)     When Installing New Hvac Or Other Rooftop Equipment, It Is Crucial To Select Locations On  The Roof That Do Not Obstruct Or Cast Shadows On The Designated Area For Future Solar  Installations. Please Note, The Weight Of The Solar Wall Cannot Be Supported From The Existing Wall  Structure; Therefore, A Dedicated Standalone Structural Support System Would Be Required. In  Addition, The Study Noted That The Installation Of Solar Ducts On The Main Pool Area Roof Is Not  Feasible Due To The Additional Structural Loads That The Roof Was Not Designed To Handle.

Details: Complete Rehabilitation Work of the Ground Floor Level and Partial Rehabilitation of the R+1 Level and Security of the Building of the Institute of Geology of Strasbourg - Relaunch of Lots 3, 8, 14 and 15 (cut stone, hard floor covering, HVAC, Sanitary) - The Institute of Geology was built in 1887 within the Imperial German University of William II. It extends over a total surface area of 7,950 M², close to the central garden built around the University Palace, on the historic campus of Unistra, at the heart of the revision and extension of the perimeter of protection and implementation. In Value (psmv). The Geology Building has already been the subject of various work programs, including recently the installation of the Energy Center (boiler room) in 2019. The operation concerns: ✓the Rehabilitation of the ground floor level with a view to 'a new use, ✓the renovation of the R+1 level, ✓the securing of the building (garden level, R+2 and R+3), ✓the provision of accessibility to the building. The operation is part of the project to create the Sciences, Culture and Society center of the Campus operation which will ultimately bring together the renovated Geology Institute, the renovated Zoology Museum and the new planetarium.

Known As The Army Contract Writing System (acws), This Modern Software Suite Will Soon Replace Most Existing Army Contract Writing Systems, Including The System Used To Create And Release This Solicitation. during This Transition Period, Offerors Are Hereby Advised: the Contracting Office May Use Any Combination Of Contract Writing Systems To Create And Release Documents Related To This Solicitation (e.g. Solicitation Amendments And Awards, If Any). Due To This: this Solicitation May Contain Different Offer Submission Instructions Than Other Solicitations Released By The Same Contracting Office (e.g. Requiring Offer Submission Via The Piee Solicitation Module Vs. E-mail). Offerors Should Review All Offer Submission Instructions Contained In The Solicitation Documents And Direct Any Questions Or Concerns To The Contract Specialist Or Contracting Officer. if The Contracting Office Switches Contract Writing Systems Prior To Award, Documents You Receive From The Contracting Officer Or View On Sam.gov Or Other Forums May Appear Noticeably Different Than The Initial Solicitation Or Previous Solicitations Or Awards From The Same Contracting Office. This Is Normal And Expected. a Change Between Contract Writing Systems May Cause Important Information Concerning Solicitation Response (amendments) Or Accepted Terms (awards) To Take On Different Formatting Or Appear In Different Parts Of Later Documents Issued. Offerors Shall Review All Documents Carefully To Locate This Important Information And Direct Any Questions Or Concerns To The Contract Specialist Or Contracting Officer. the Government Does Not Intend To Use The Transition Between Contract Writing Systems To Effect Any Changes To Solicitation Or Award Terms And Conditions Without Accompanying Document Narratives Explicitly Stating Such Changes Are Deliberate And Desired. While The Contract Specialist And Contracting Officer Will Take Care To Minimize Or Eliminate Any Inadvertent Changes When Adapting To The New Contract Writing Software, You, As The Offeror, May Still Be The First To Spot Such Errors. Therefore, Offerors Shall: notify The Contracting Officer Immediately If Any Observed Changes, Removals, Or Additions Affect Your Award Eligibility, Violate Or Alter Existing Quote/proposal Terms, Or Could Affect Contract Performance Post-award. take Special Care To Ensure All Fill-in Clauses Are Populated And Remain Populated Across Documents Received From The Contracting Office Throughout The Solicitation And Award Process. contact The Contracting Officer Listed On The First Page Of The Solicitation Or Solicitation Amendment For Guidance If You Notice Or Suspect Any Inadvertent Change Has Occurred Between Document Issuances. the Contracting Officer Will Correct Problems Affecting Award Documents (if Any) Via Bilateral Modification, At No Cost To The Contractor. Any Such Modification Will Reconcile The Award With The Latest Version Of This Solicitation Reflecting Deliberate Action By The Contracting Officer (e.g. The First Issuance If No Amendments, Or The Latest Amendment With Accompanying Narratives), Inclusive Of Any Documented Pre-award Negotiations Or Accepted Supplemental Offer Terms. in The Unlikely Event A Network Disruption, Contract Writing System Error, Or Financial System Error Threatens Timely Award Of The Requirement Set Forth In This Solicitation, The Contracting Officer: may Elect To Use Alternative Mechanisms To Obligate Funds And Allow Work Or Deliveries To Legally Begin To The Benefit Of, And With Legal Protection For, Both Parties. will Incorporate The Latest Version Of This Solicitation Into Such Mechanisms To Serve As A Framework For Contract Execution Until Any Such System Problems Are Resolved. will Ensure Any Action Taken Does Not Conflict With The Stated Offer Evaluation And Award Methodology Of This Requirement. will Issue A Complete, Properly-formatted Award Accurately Reflecting This Requirement And All Applicable Terms And Conditions Once Systems Return To Normal.
