This announcement constitutes the only solicitation, which is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). Quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation being issued is 07SQ340174 and proposals (including the completed FAR 52.212-03, Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial Items) are due Thursday, September 13, 2007, 4:00 p.m. local time. This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-19. This procurement is being issued as full and open/unrestricted competition. The NAICS Code is 423830 and the small business size standard is 100 employees. The Government anticipates award of a firm-fixed price purchase order resulting from this solicitation, to the Contractor whose offer is the most advantageous to the Government. This award is contingent on the availability of year end funding. The Bureau of Reclamation, Yuma Area Office, has a requirement to purchase the following sizes of W-K-M Dynacentric, Cast 316 stainless steel, ? turn, double-offset, High Performance Butterfly Valves (HPBV) with Remote Control RCEL series electric valve actuators, with the necessary torque requirements for operating their mating, respective W-K-M butterfly valves under the following Operating Conditions: Valves shall be located at the Yuma Desalting Plant (YDP) reverse osmosis control blocks. The valves and associated actuators will be required to operate in a temperature range of 0 degree Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) to 50 degree Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit). Valves shall be bidirectional and shall be capable of handling water with a specific gravity of 1.0. The operational ph range of the water will be between 4 and 6, with a total dissolved solids content of 3,000 mg/l (3,000 parts per million). For the 300# Pressure Class valves, the maximum operating pressure differential will be 500 pounds per square inch (PSI). For the 150# Pressure Class valves, the maximum operating pressure differential will be 275 psi. The actuators shall be sized for the necessary torque requirements to seal, breakaway, and operate under the conditions outlined for their respective valves. This is an acquisition for Brand Name product based on the Bureau of Reclamations recent purchase of 120 butterfly valves and actuators from the same manufacturer at a total investment of $280,000. These valves and actuators meet the following minimum specifications: VALVES: 1) Valves shall be designed and built in accordance with ASME B16.34 (1996); 2) One Piece, Cast 316 Stainless Steel Body per ASTM A351 (2000), CF8M body material, wetted parts to be 316SS minimum; 3) Stainless Steel Shaft, 17-4 PH, blowout protected; 4) ASTM A351 (2000) CF8M disc with 316 SST/Grafoil laminated seal stack; 5) Monel bolting for wetted parts preferable, 316SS satisfactory; 6) Wafer or Lug end connections as stated below; 7) 316SS Metallic Seat with PTFE seat insert, fire-tested, bi-directional or other equivalent or better disc seal, subject to approval; 8) Grafoil or better packing; 9) Bare stem with no operator; 10) Meets ANSI 70-2 Class VI Shutoff Test Criteria in Preferred Direction; 11) Hydrostatic test report documenting seat leakage results; and 12) Bearing Protectors. ACTUATORS: 1) Voltage - Single phase 120VAC (60 Hz); 2) Action - Open-Close with Fail Last Position; 3) Motor Type - Squirrel cage induction type with class F insulation; 4) Motor Brake - Standard, or Self-locking Worm Gear Drive for holding valve position; 5) Motor protection - Thermal switch trip and torque switch trip; 6) Enclosure - Watertight, NEMA 4; 7) Surface Cooling; 8) Override Control - Manual Handwheel; 9) Control Input - Remote N.O. contacts; 10) Fully Open / Fully Closed Limit Switches - Rated at 10Amps; 11) Isolated Aux. limit switches or contacts for both full open and full close - Rated at 10Amps, Adjustable; 11) Mechanical Position Indicator - O/C Position, Continuous; 12) SS Valve/Actuator Adapter Plates; and 13) All gearing shall be grease lubricated and designed to withstand the full stall torque of motor, a seized or inoperable motor shall not prevent manual operation. Purchasing these valves and actuators from these suppliers achieves two goals - it reduces spare-part replacement and inventory costs and it increases plant operational efficiency and reliability. Because of the Yuma Desalting Plant (YDP) unusual size and configuration, it is standard practice to stock spare parts on site to minimize operation down time due to equipment or instrument failure. To reduce the cost of purchasing parts and the cost of managing the inventory of spare parts, the goal is to maintain a uniform, interchangeable set of accurate and reliable equipment. Purchase of the valves and actuators from these manufacturers will enable the valves, actuators, gaskets, etc., to be interchanged, increasing operational effectiveness/efficiency/reliability, and reducing the variety of parts that must be stocked. YAO currently has spare parts for these valves and actuators with an estimated value of $34,700. During the recent 90 day demonstration run, these valves and actuators proved that they can withstand the difficult service of the YDP's reverse-osmosis process control blocks. Since the YDP is normally offline and only runs when called upon, we have to be sure that our equipment will meet the challenge when told to do so. We do not have the luxury of gambling on unproven products. The YDP is a very high visibility Reclamation site that is always in the public eye. If the plant does not run reliably and well when called upon, it is very detrimental to the reputation of the Bureau and its Commissioner. These valves and actuators are being purchased to replace 1/3 of the originals valves obtained by the Bureau when the plant was first built. The originals are being replaced because they failed to meet YDP's difficult service requirement. In fact, the original valves and actuators are formally recognized as a "Design Deficiency" of the YDP. If we purchase unproven valves for this service, we risk replacing one "Design Deficiency" with another. This requirement will include a 200 percent option quantity for each line item. The Contractor shall furnish and size all necessary valve/actuator adapter plates. The option quantities will be a separately priced line item.
