- Description
- NASA/KSC is hereby soliciting information about potential sources for replacementof industrial overhead bridge crane control, drive, and miscellaneous systems on theVehicle Assembly Building (VAB)175-ton crane located in the LC-39 Area of KSC, Florida32899. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)KSC is seeking capabilitystatements from all interested parties, including Small, Small Disadvantaged (SDB), 8(a),Woman-owned (WOSB), Veteran Owned (VOSB), Service Disabled Veteran Owned (SD-VOSB),Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) businesses,and Historically BlackColleges and Universities (HBCU)/Minority Institutions (MI) for the purposes ofdetermining the appropriate level of competition and/or small business subcontractinggoals for replacing control systems, motor drive systems, and other miscellaneousequipment on an existing 175-ton overhead travelling bridge crane with approximately160 hook height, 89 span, and 670 crane runway, in KSCs Vehicle Assembly Building.Specifically, this 175 ton crane project consists of: 1.Providing detailed system engineering and shop drawings including, but notlimited to: structural modifications, installation details for control and motor driveequipment, control system diagrams, ladder diagrams, wiring and interconnection drawings,product data, equipment schedules, sequence of operations, annotated software logic,control panel arrangement diagrams, reliability analysis, work plans, operations andmaintenance information, training programs, record as-built documentation, engineeringcalculations, and other construction transmittals as required by the contract documents.These documents will be approved by the Government, prior to start of work.2.Existing system demolition. Working around operational critical facilityequipment with minimal impact. 3.Factory fabrication and testing of customized control and drive equipment.4.Electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression and testing and crane drive,control, and power systems to military (EMI) standards. 5.Field demolition and replacement of the following drive systems on an existingcrane structure including drives, motors, control, instrumentation, power, grounding, andancillary systems.a.Twin main hoist drive assemblies.b.Main hoist hook rotation drive.c.Twin auxiliary hoist drive assemblies.d.Bridge drive assemblies (4 motors).e.Twin trolley drive assemblies.6.Replacement of the crane instrumentation, control, and operator interfacesystems.7.Field replacement of crane power, lighting, and grounding systems. Modificationof the 480V power facility power feeder to the crane feed rail system.8.Field modifications to the existing crane structure to replace the operatorcontrol cab and improve access and maintenance.9.Environmental and safety work including working at heights, worker protection,asbestos/lead avoidance or abatement, waste segregation, and waste disposal.10.Monitoring and control equipment installation including computer hardware,computer software, programmable logic controllers used in enhanced safety applications,electrical power and control wiring construction, control panel fabrication, engineeringshop drawing preparation, control sequence development, custom software development,human-machine interface development, test procedure development, user training, andperformance certification elements. 11.Electrical installation and routing of conduit, connectors, control cabinets, junction boxes, and wiring systems. 12.Development of training program and materials and the presentation of trainingmaterial for control system operators and maintenance engineers at KSC. 13.Testing and commissioning, including factory testing prior to deployment withfull control system input simulation, full field acceptance testing to include loadtesting. The Government reserves the right to consider a Small, 8(a), Woman-owned (WOSB), ServiceDisabled Veteran (SD-VOSB), or HUBZone business set-aside based on responses hereto.No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation.
