Description: NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE ORDER: The U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville, has a requirement for demonstration services for the Diesel GeneratorsFamiliarization and Testing, GENSET Demonstration. There will be one session as follows: Session 2010-01, 17-21 May 2010, Myrtle Beach, SC. This course teaches the proper inspection and check-out procedures to follow prior to accepting generating units from the construction contractor. Through lectures, conferences, and demonstration sessions, the Diesel Generators Course covers governors, mechanical systems, instruments, relays, electrical systems, installation of prime movers, and generator pre-start check-out, unit startup, operational test, transient load test and recording of data. There will be a Meeting of Understanding with the contractor shall discuss the schedule for testing equipment, test instrumentation, actual test and safety. The contractor shall provide a totally functional Diesel Generator Test Set, one mechanic operator, and one testing technician to simulate Acceptance Testing for two sessions of approximately 25 students each. The mechanic operator and testing technician shall have 100 hours operation experience minimum, and knowledge of the theory of operation of the test equipment. Bids shall be evaluated on proof of meeting the following requirements. Generator Set must be 100 KW minimum and capable of withstanding a block load of 50 KW in both droop and isochronous modes. Load Banks must be air cooled resistive type of sufficient size to load the above Generator to 110% of its full load rating. It must also be capable of adding and removing block loads of 25 KW at a time. Load cable shall be provided by the contractor to safely interconnect the Load Bank to the Generator. Sufficient fuel shall be provided by the contractor to run the above Generator to full load for 6 hours. Test Instrumentation - All meters shall be located outside the roped off safety area. Instrumentation described shall be provided in addition to that instrumentation normally provided with the test. The following equipment shall be provided wired and completely operational: One-Dual Trace Chart Recorder or other data acquisition means capable of recording Voltage and Speed Transients with a resolution of at least 32 samples on both inputs per cycle. Typically 10 seconds of data shall be recorded and printed. Traces for voltage and frequency will show the normal signal centered on the graph but capable of recording 10% of normal across the full width of the chart. Voltage and Speed Transducers capable of producing a signal compatible with the above Chart Recorder or data acquisition system. Volt Meter for measuring voltage on the Generator. Ammeter for measuring AMPS on the Generator going to each phase of the Load Banks. Watt Meter for measuring the Wattage on the Generator. Frequency Meter and Tachometer for measuring the frequency and speed of the Generator. Temperature Monitoring to measure cooling inlet, cooling outlet, outside air, generator housing and a spare. Test manifold for simulating low lube oil pressure with the unit running. Sound level meter. Controls to be tested: Manual Safety Circuit and Overspeed Device. Test Run - Two Acceptance Demo Sessions shall be conducted: one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. The following tests shall be done each sequence: Manual Shutdown Control Test; Start Time Test; Manual Shutdown; Heat Run for one hour with measurements being taken every ten minutes at loads selected by the Test Coordinator; Transient Response Test for both Voltage and Speed at 6% droop and isochronous; and low lube oil pressure test. Technical qualifications are as follows: EDUCATION - The generator representative that participates in the annual 'Acceptance of Diesel Engine Generators' course should be factory certified in the brand represented; and should have completed USACE, Acceptance of Diesel Engine Generators course in the past 5 years. DEMONSTRATOR EXPERIENCE: Minimum of two years experience in a training role for the diesel generator equipment (Cat dealers call us Technical Communicators and/or trainers). Practical Work Experience 10 years experience as follows: demonstrator should have a minimum four years field experience in commissioning generator systems up to 2 megawatts; demonstrator must be proficient with load bank testing and be able to work with the KW equation for 3 phase generators; demonstrator should be proficient in automatic transfer switch operation; demonstrator should be familiar with the electronic and manual tooling necessary to commission a generator and demonstrate the tooling during class; and demonstrator should be able to set up a SAFE live demo and be aware of local electrical codes for temporary sites. The demonstrator shall have practical work experience working with engineers. Interested parties shall provide a capability statement to the following e-mail address: Laura.M.Stiegler@usace.army.mil by March 8, 2010, 4:00 p.m. local time which will be considered by this agency. If no capability statements are received by the date and time required, a sole source award will be made at that time. No telephone calls will be accepted.
