Description: This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number for this request is F11PS00010 and is issued as a request for quote (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC 05-46) and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). This procurement is a small business set-aside. The applicable NAICS classification code is 336611 with size standard of 1,000 employees and PSC code is J999. SCOPE OF WORKThe U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is requesting quotes for rebuilding/repairing two Caterpillar engines, series (3412) with a rated Horsepower of 425. The serial# for the port engine is 60M02792, AR# 1W0733 and for the starboard engine is 60M02794, AR # is 1W0733 from the M/V Tiglax located in the Homer, AK small boat harbor. BackgroundM/V Tiglax is a 120 foot science support vessel owned and operated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and has a home port of the small boat harbor at Homer, Alaska. More information on the vessel can be found at: http://alaskamaritime.fws.gov/tiglax.htm. This scope of work entails rebuilding/repairing two Caterpillar engines, series (3412) with a rated Horsepower of 425. The serial# for the port engine is 60M02792, AR# 1W0733 and for the starboard engine is 60M02794, AR # is 1W0733 from the M/V Tiglax located in the Homer, AK small boat harbor. Both of the engines have 17,000 hours/meter units since the last rebuild. The port main developed a pinhole coolant leak between the water jacket and the crankcase in the area of #4 cylinder. The leak is currently stopped with automotive stop-leak. The starboard engine has no known problems other than high hours. Description of WorkThe contractor shall provide all labor and materials necessary to complete the repair/rebuild of two Caterpillar engines listed above. Any materials or services furnished by the Government have been clearly stated within this scope of work. The contractor shall travel to the vessel's home port of Homer, Alaska to perform all services required. The contractor shall dismantle and rebuild both the starboard and port engines. All engine parts can be removed through the engine room access hatch and then removed from the ship via the deck hatches that provide access to outside the ship. The old parts and new parts can be put on and off the ship via the Homer Fish dock by using city cranes operated by the FWS crew, if necessary. Pad eyes may need to be welded onto the engine room overhead to assist in the removal of the old heavy engine parts. Should the pad eyes become necessary, FWS will provide the hot work and fire watches. The contractor will provide all materials, labor, and tools necessary to rebuild the engines. The contractor shall, at a minimum the following install new or remanufactured parts:-crankshaft-camshaft (after inspection confirms need for replacement) -Injector pump -water pump-oil pump-cylinder heads-turbo charger cartridge-fuel transfer pump-power packs (i.e. pistons, connecting rods, piston rings, wrist pins, liners) -rocker assemblies- intercooler -vibration dampers-engine gasket set- seals-timing gears -head bolts-head divider plates-push rods-bearings -hour meter-adapters All parts that are to be reused will be cleaned by the contractor. Upon cleaning, FWS personnel will inspect and approve the reused parts for reinstallation. Once the parts are approved for reuse, the contractor shall reinstall according to manufacturer specifications. The contractor is not responsible for painting the engine upon completion of the job. The contractor shall ensure proper disposal of all unused/damaged/removed parts, as well as any cleaning solvents as a result of the engine rebuild. The contractor shall provide two (port & starboard) satisfactory operating engines in accordance with manufacturer specifications. Therefore, any parts necessary to meet this standard shall be included in the contractor's quote. Please note the existing injectors were installed in the winter of 2010 and are presumed to be in good working order. The contractor shall use the existing injectors in the new engines. It is imperative that the contractor begins rebuilding/repairing the port engine first, as it is the engine needing critical repairs. The engines will need to be moved forward from the reduction gear on the engine beds. This process movement could damage the existing chockfast. FWS personnel will determine the need for this repair. If the chockfast is found damaged, a modification shall be issued by the Contracting Officer prior to the contractor proceeding with this repair or any other additional work. The FWS personnel will provide the adapters to move the engine. After each engine has been rebuilt, FWS will perform a dockside test of the engine, followed by a 2-4 hour sea trial. FWS will provide and replace all fluids (inclusive of coolant and oil) necessary for these tests. **NOTE**If the contractor and COTR agreed that the port side and/or starboard side engine blocks cannot be repaired, new blocks will be required. Should the blocks need to be replaced, the replacement blocks may be new or remanufactured parts. If it is necessary, FWS will use the shore side city cranes alongside the city dock to remove the engine blocks from the ship. It is at this point, the contractor has the responsibility to dispose of the block(s) properly. If the blocks are found to be non-repairable, a modification shall be issued by the Contracting Officer prior to the contractor proceeding with this replacement or any other additional work. Period of PerformanceWork shall begin by November 22, 2010 and to be completed no later than January 10, 2011. The period of performance shall be increased by the number of days identified for each of the optional line items exercised. Optional Site VisitThe ship and its engine room will be available for a site visit prior to the solicitation closing period. Offerors are encouraged to visit the vessel, but not required.
