- NASA/LaRC plans to issue a Draft Request for Proposal (DRFP) for Construction of a Liquid Nitrogen Supply System for the National Transonic Facility (NTF). The supply system shall be of the air separation type with a nitrogen liquefier, providing only liquid nitrogen via a pipeline at a purity level defined by MIL-PRF-27401D as Type II, Grade B. The plant shall be located on NASA Langley Research Center Government property, Hampton, VA, using Government provided power, and operated by Government designated personnel. The plant capacity shall be a minimum of 300 Tons per day, using new equipment. The design life and efficiency of the plant shall be equivalent to a state-of-the-art merchant plant, and shall incorporate automation and configuration for minimum operating personnel. This requirement will consist of a base period of performance and one option period. The base period of performance will be approximately 480 calendar days from Notice to Proceed and will be for (1) Plant Engineering and Design, complete engineering and design, labor and resources to develop the Liquid Nitrogen plant drawings, equipment specifications, and supporting analyses; and, (2) Plant Equipment, consisting of procuring and manufacturing equipment, factory testing, shipping, customs, and off-loading at the site. The Option 1 period of performance, if exercised in May 2006, will be approximately 515 calendar days from the day the option is exercised and will be for (1) Site Modification and Preparation, including renovations of NASA Langley Building 1241 as required by your design; (2) On-Site Construction, including mobilization, site construction labor and materials required to install and connect the plant equipment; (3) Commissioning and Start-up, including labor, materials, and replacement parts required to start-up all equipment, perform subsystem tests, perform performance guarantee tests, and transfer an operating plant to the Government; (4) Training, including labor and materials to train operators in all modes of operation and routine maintenance of the plant; and, (5) Documentation related to the Liquid Nitrogen Supply System and its components. The order of magnitude for the procurement is over $10,000,000 and the base and option period shall be completed within approximately 650 calendar days after notice to proceed of the base requirement.
