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; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The Aviation Development Directorate-Aviation Applied Technology Directorate (ADD-AATD) Contracting Office, U.S. Army Contracting Command, intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract. The contract document and incorporated clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-96. The solicitation number is W911W6-18-R-0004 and is issued as a request for quotations. The proposed contract action, a commercial item purchase in accordance with FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, is for the expansion of an existing turbine engine test facility, to provide full functionality to an existing Kahn TM Model 406-040-008 Engine Water Brake Dynamometer. The system shall include all facilities, infrastructure, and support equipment necessary for operation of the identified dynamometer. The new system shall be co-located at the existing Engine/Countermeasures Research Facility (ECRF) at Building 3517, Fort Eustis, Virginia 23604, and be integrated to function with existing laboratory test and operation equipment. The selected offeror shall possess experience in the development, maintenance, and operation of a turbine engine test cell, its specific facilities, requirements, and/or equipment. In order to be considered, offerors shall include all design, fabrication, infrastructure and equipment necessary to expand the current ECRF capability to operate a Kahn TM Model 406-040-008 hydraulic dynamometer rated at 10,000 HP. NOTE 1: The facility already possesses the identified dynamometer; all offerors will be allowed to visit the existing plant at Fort Eustis during the proposal process. This ECRF upgrade is to include all hardware, facilities, and installation support necessary to control and operate the identified dynamometer and shall adapt to function with all existing laboratory equipment to include control, operation, and data collection. It is anticipated that the upgrade shall be completed in three tasks, to include a closed-loop water processing system sized to enable full dynamometer functionality combined with a large capacity cooling plant appropriately sized to process the closed water storage system, concrete slabs sized for said components, a collapsible or retractable test cell shelter with build-up area sized to house the identified dynamometer and its support equipment, and other subsystems and infrastructure as required to achieve full functionality of the Kahn TM Model 406-040-008 hydraulic dynamometer. Task 1 shall result in a completely functional water brake operations and build-up-area, infrastructure for the water processing plant, and a detailed preliminary design for the entire project. Task 2 shall result in a completely functional water cooling and processing plant. Task 3 shall result in all plumbing, electrical and control, and hookup. NOTE 2: The design, fabrication, and installation requirements shall generally follow that described by the hydraulic dynamometer manufacturer, Kahn Industries Inc., but shall be modified as necessary to ensure that the dynamometer water outlet temperature does not exceed 140° F during continuous operation of up to 10,000 HP engines at maximum N2 for extended durations (greater than one hour) with cooling tower outlet temperatures of 95° F. (1) The system shall meet the following criteria to be technically acceptable: (a) The new system shall be a stand-alone, modular design capable of providing full functionality of an existing Kahn TM Model 406-040-008 hydraulic dynamometer rated at 10,000 HP (7460 kW) and 16,500 rpm (18,300 rpm overspeed). (b) The new system does not include any aspect of running the turbine engine. It is exclusively responsible for the operation of the Kahn TM Model 406-040-008 hydraulic dynamometer only. (c) All new hardware and facilities shall, to whatever extent possible, utilize existing equipment and facilities. (d) The new engine test cell shall include a movable or collapsible enclosure, which will allow open air running of the test engine setup while providing cover from the elements when closed and not in use. The enclosure shall be appropriately sized to allow working in and around the dynamometer test bed while in place. (e) The test cell shall include a fixed minimum 15' x 24' enclosed, build-up area attached to the movable or collapsible enclosure identified above, which will permanently house all of the ancillary support equipment required for dynamometer and engine operation. (2) Installation requirements: (a) The design, fabrication, and installation requirements shall generally follow that described by the hydraulic dynamometer manufacturer, Kahn Industries Inc., as previously described in NOTE 2 above. The installation requirements provided to the government by the dynamometer manufacturer can be obtained from the government upon request. Other details as needed can be obtained directly from Kahn Industries Inc. (b) This effort shall include all materials and facilities, to include excavation and installation of load appropriate concrete slabs to support the test cell, a cooling/processing plant, fabrication and assembly of a movable or collapsible environmental covering with an attached enclosed build-up area, and all hardware, installation, and documentation. (c) The movable or collapsible test cell structure must allow for removal and installation of the dynamometer test cart. (d) The new system must utilize the existing control room for operation located at Building 3517, Fort Eustis, VA. (e) The system shall provide enclosed access for data acquisition cabling and hardware to be attached to test engines from the existing control center. A diagram of the facility shall be available upon request. Contact Beth Chapman at beth.k.chapman.civ@mail.mil to obtain a diagram or to set up a visit. An on-site visit during normal business hours is permitted. (3) Installation conditions: (a) The ADD-AATD, Fort Eustis, VA, shall provide access to existing test cell equipment for purposes of design and to complete installation. (b) To whatever extent possible, ADD-AATD shall provide details of the existing test cells equipment. (4) The following shall be included on your quote: (a) Description of all hardware, components, and materials. (b) Requirement for any Government-furnished property/data/support/facilities. (c) Travel costs to include number/duration/destination of proposed trips and number of personnel traveling. (d) Identification of any and all subcontracting proposed, to include company name and phone number. (e) Any issues that should be given special consideration such as procurement lead times, duration of installation process, and dependency of system success on any outside sources, etc. (f) Work approach, cost breakdown, delivery schedule, and warranty terms. (g) Because of the unique nature of this requirement, offerors shall identify their experience in the development, maintenance, or operation of a turbine engine research test cell, its specific facilities and/or unique equipment requirements. (5) Work Breakdown Structure: Each offeror shall submit a detailed breakdown, by task, of their proposed solution, culminating in a fully functioning system. The following tasks are anticipated for the order and type of effort required: (a) Task 1 - Initial design, excavation, concrete pads, test cell structure: The first task shall result in a completely functional water brake operations and build-up area, infrastructure for the water processing plant, and a detailed preliminary design for the entire project. Specifically, the contractor shall provide a complete detailed preliminary design for the entire project for review and acceptance by the government. Once accepted, all permits can be obtained and the construction site excavated and concrete poured. The collapsible structure to house the dynamometer and the build-up area building can then be erected and the dynamometer installed. (b) Task 2 - Cooling tower, water storage tanks, and infrastructure: The second task shall be to assemble the water processing system to include the large capacity cooling plant, the closed water storage system, all structure, piping, pumps., etc., sized to enable full dynamometer functionality of the Kahn TM Model 406-040-008 hydraulic dynamometer. (c) Task 3 - Plumbing, electrical, control, etc.: The third task shall be to complete assembly of items to include connection of the cooling plant to the water brake, all electrical and control systems. Delivery, Inspection, Acceptance and F.O.B. Point are at Destination, Fort Eustis, VA 23604. Completion date shall be not later than 24 months after contract award.
