- Description
- The Alaska District Corps of Engineers intends to specify proprietary and/or sole source equipment known as Intelligent Parking Lot Controls (IPLC) developed and marketed by Vantera Incorporated, P.O. Box 334 Elie, MB R0H-0H0, Canada, www.iplc.com, f or Energy Conservation Improvement Programs and Construction Project at Various Army Post Locations, Alaska. This is a sources sought and not a request for proposal. No solicitation will be available, however, all submittals received within 45 days of th e publication will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete the requirement based on the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The product is a smart power receptacle that can replace any existing parking stall power outlet. It incorporates a microprocessor, temperature sensors, and red and green LED lights to tell users the status of the system. It measures temperature and wind chill, and is factory programmed to automatically regulate the optimum power flow to ensure strong starts at any temperature. The intelligent operation reduces electrical consumption and costs by up to 65 percent, or a full 30 percent more than competing systems. Each IPLC handles two circuits and each outlet can be individually programmed to prevent use of in-car heaters, or to meet the special needs of diesel engines or emergency vehicles. Each receptacle stores connection data that can be captured to assess use patterns. Red and green LEDs instantly tells users the status of the power outlet and their equipment, including: a live outlet, a functioning block heater, an open circuit in their block heater, a circuit overload from an in-car heater or a short circuit in the block heater. The salient features of the product are " Automatically controls the amount of electricity supplied based on ambient air temperature and the wind chill factor " Totally programmable via computer software to vary the fraction of electricity supplied based on temperature " In-built microprocessor which keeps track of energy consumed with and without the use of the controller and provision to download data from the microprocessor " Identify problem with open circuit and over load via LEDs or any other means " Temperature rating of -55 ?C to 225 ?C " Current rating of 25 Amps rms continuous and 200 Amps rms peak for one AC cycle The Alaska District Corps of Engineers request interested manufacturers to respond with their capabilities and marketing materials that identify the features of the equipment by email to kristine.g.stoehner@poa02.usace.army.mil, or to CEPOA-CT-CM, PO 6898, Elmendorf AFB, AK 99506-0898.
