- Description
- Preliminary Installation Drawing HVAC Chiller System Recapitalization The United States Coast Guard is seeking sources for the recapitalization of three (3) 55 ton R-22 Chiller A/C Units aboard the USCGC POLAR STAR (WAGB-10) with increased capacity HFC-134a units. Depending on lead time and availability, the Coast Guard intends for installation in September 2016 or April 2017. The current units are obsolete and have experienced frequent failures. In addition the capacity of the three 55-Ton air conditioning units does not satisfy the original cooling load design, or equatorial conditions that will be encountered more frequently and are more severe than the original design requirements. The new system will require an increase in capacity while maintaining current electrical & footprint restrictions with a primary focus on increasing reliability and supportability. Early draft specification is attached to this notice. Some references in Specification are subject to Export Control limitations or have otherwise restricted distribution, and have been deemed "limited access" and "export controlled" packages. In order to access these documents, vendors must be certified as a US or Canadian contractor by the Joint Certification Program (JCP) administered by the Defense Logistic Information Service. Instructions and procedures for being certified by JCP can be found at http://www.dlis.dla.mil/jcp/. Only those vendors that have current certification by JCP will be able to be granted explicit access to these packages by the USCG. SHIP CHECK The USCG intends to make USCGC POLAR STAR available during solicitation phase for a ship check.
