A subsequent solicitation document will not be issued. FISC Norfolk intends to purchase Shipboard EDRO Dynawash, Model DW2000MNSWE-13A washer/extractor with integral S4B Programmable Logic Control for the USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70). A detailed description of the contract line items (CLINs) considered brand name or equal are as follows: CLIN 001: Supply and deliver, EDRO Dynawash, Model DW2000MNSWE-13A washer/extractor, with integral S4B Programmable Logic Control. The washer-extractor shall be front-loading, fully automatic, shell and cylinder, three-pocket, with rotating action about the horizontal axis. Axial rotation of cylinder shall incorporate reversing action during appropriate parts of the cycle. The shell shall be watertight and rigid. The front of the shell shall be removable to permit replacement of the cylinder and the shell seams shall not pass through the drain valve opening. The shell shall consist of the following: openings for a door; cylinder shaft; four-compartment automatic and manual supply dispensers; water piping and steam heat exchanger; drain outlet; overflow and vent outlet; and water level and temperature indicator. The cylinder construction shall be rigid. Perforations in the cylinder shall be sized and spaced for efficient washing, rinsing, and extraction. It shall be provided with a hinged door as part of the front head and a means to prevent laundry from falling between the cylinder and shell during loading and unloading. The door shall not be less than 150 square inches for each 50 pounds of rated capacity. The washer-extractor shall be provided with an electric and pneumatic power-operated brake for rapid deceleration and stopping of the cylinder. The brake shall stop rotation of a loaded cylinder within 60 seconds during any part of the extraction cycle. The contour and configuration of the shell plating and the location and configuration of the booster heater shall be such that the water consumption will be kept to a minimum. Water levels shall be readily adjustable in the field. Piping valves and fittings shall have a working pressure of 100 pounds per square inch. The drain valve, hot and cold freshwater inlet valves, and steam inlet valve shall be electric and automatically controlled by the automatic formula control unit. Two separate inlet valves, for hot and cold fresh water, shall be provided. The machine shall also be fitted with a threaded 1-1/2 inch connection on the top of the shell for manual salt water supply. A normally open drain valve shall be fitted at the lowest point of the shell. A filter shall be provided to prevent foreign objects from passing through the drain valve into the ship?s drainage system. The filter shall be readily accessible and easily removable for cleaning. The washer-extractor shall have an automatic supply dispenser for adding supplies under control of the automatic formula control unit. The dispenser shall contain not less than four compartments, which can be filled manually at the beginning of the wash cycle. Supply dispenser compartments shall be the water flushing type. Automatic supply dispensers shall not allow soap or detergent to clog or cake. Indirect steam booster heater shall be provided. The booster heater shall be located in the tub and shall remain fully submerged at inclination angles of 12 degrees at the lowest water level fill. The heater shall transfer heat to the wash and rinse solutions, without the steam or its condensate coming into direct contact with the solution or wash load. A steam heat valve, strainer, and trap shall be provided with the steam piping system and shall be suitable for 100 psi saturated steam working pressure. The heat exchanger assembly shall be in accordance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII. The cylinder shall be driven by electric motors through V-belts or a combination of gearing and V-belts to provide proper speed for the washing, extracting, and draining cycles. The cylinder shall perform not more than three reverse rotations per 95 seconds during the washing cycle. A means shall be provided for inching the cylinder door to the proper loading position. Means shall be provided for adjusting tension of the V-belts. Gears shall be in accordance with AGMA 2000-A88 and AGMA 2001-B88. The gears shall transmit full rated horsepower throughout the speed ranges without failure for the expected serviced life of the washer-extractor. Safety and interlocking devices shall function for both clockwise and counterclockwise rotation of the cylinder and when the ship is rolling or listing at not less than 12 degrees from its normal position. The driving arrangement shall permit changing from the wash to the extract cycle and vice versa with interlocking feature to ensure smooth transfer. The main brake shall be normally closed and prevent cylinder rotation while the machine is off. Also, in the event of power loss and/or loss of low pressure air, the brake shall close automatically. The shell door shall be fitted with an electric interlock that prevents the door from being opened when the machine is in the extract mode, and prevents rotation of the cylinder when the shell door is open except in the JOG mode. JOG or inching buttons shall be provided on the control panel. The JOG function shall require the use of both hands of the operator while inching the cylinder. Depressing both the JOG button and either of the directional buttons shall release the brake and engage cylinder movement. Releasing either button shall bring the cylinder to an immediate stop. Exposed belts, shafts, pulleys, and other moving parts shall be fully enclosed by metal guards. Gears shall be fully enclosed in gear housing. Metal guards shall be firmly supported, but shall also be readily removable for maintenance. The washer-extractor shall be provided with an adjustable vibration limit cutout device to disconnect service should excessive equipment-damaging vibration occur. An interlock shall be provided which will prevent the machine from extracting until the water level has drained to a safe level. The washer-extractor shall be provided with an emergency stop button, located on the front of the unit within an accessible area. The button shall bring the washer-extractor to an immediate stop when activated.
