Description

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of Research and Development (ORD), intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, with Tekran Inc., to purchase three (Mercury/Hg) Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS). Based on the EPA?s knowledge of the CEMS , there are features covered in the specifications that may have unique capabilities to particular vendors. Specifically, each Hg CEMS must: - be capable of performing automated, total Hg and speciated Hg measurements from a variety of combustion processes at pollution control inlet and outlet locations - be capable of periodic, user defined, automated quality assurance/quality control checks that assess zero/span instrument drift and system bias; using self-contained, automated Hg0 and HgCl2 gaseous standard calibration/calibration check source(s). - be capable of periodic, user defined, and automated dynamic probe spiking of Hg using self-contained, automated Hg0 and HgCl2 gaseous standard calibration/calibration check source(s). - be equipped with inertial probe sample interface systems for sampling in high PM environments - inertial probe/Hg CEMS must be capable of measuring the sample flow rate. If a venturi is used for flow sensing, the absolute inlet pressure, pressure differential, and gas temperature must all be measured continuously and used to accurately calculate the volumetric flow rates. - inertial probe/Hg CEMS must be capable of maintaining sample flow at constant flow rates ranging from 5-50 lpm (? 0.5 lpm) - inertial probe/Hg CEMS must be capable of measuring and monitoring sample flow rate accurately and precisely (?3% of sample flow) - inertial probe/Hg CEMS must be capable of automatically introducing Hg0 and/or HgCl2 calibration gases at multiple concentrations at several probe locations including as a minimum the probe tip and downstream of the inertial filter - inertial probe/Hg CEMS must allow manual introduction of audit Hg0 and HgCl2 calibration gases at multiple probe locations including as a minimum the probe tip, immediately upstream of the inertial filter, and downstream of the inertial filter. - the Hg0 and HgCl2 gas standards must be capable of delivering gaseous concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 250 ?g/m3 at flow rates ranging from ≤2 lpm to ≥30 lpm - be equipped with heated (360F), 50ft, PFA sample lines - utilize the atomic fluorescence detection principle - utilize gold preconcentration to eliminate quenching of fluorescence caused by molecular species - be able to quantify Hg emissions levels less than 0.1 ug/m3. - have a computer-based process control for system automation and control, including data acquisition and data reduction/reporting software - have remote control facilities to allow remote access, troubleshooting and control of all analyzer functions - be able to control and automate measurement frequency from each sampling location, including independent control of the frequency of total and speciated Hg measurements - have demonstrated ability to operate unattended for extended periods. References for multiple installations required. - have demonstrated ability to operate reliably in high particulate loading environments Delivery Schedule: The equipment shall be delivered no later than 2 months after issuance or purchase order Warranty Requirements: Standard warranty clause for acquiring equipment using simplified acquisition procedures is acceptable. Installation Requirements: The Contractor shall provide all labor resources necessary to install and demonstrate performance at EPA?s Multi Pollutant Combustion Research Facility, Durham, NC 27709. Training Requirements: The Contractor shall provide as a minimum 3 days (8h/day) of on-site training. Documentation Requirements: The contractor shall provide documentation sufficient for the user to understand how to properly operate and maintain the equipment Electrical Certification Requirements: The equipment shall be UL certified or equivalent. However, any firm believing itself capable of meeting the EPA?s requirement may submit technical documentation to establish the potential of complying with the specifications. Such documentation must be submitted to the point of contact within 15 days of the posting of this notice. A determination not to compete the proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered only for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement or to proceed on a sole source basis. The applicable NAICS code is . Please submit your request in writing to Scott A. Folge at fogle.scott@epa.gov or fax your request to (513) 487-2107. No telephone requests will be honored.
