VA San Diego Healthcare System is seeking a contractor to deliver 4 SC50 Liberty REV autonomous 20 REV Scrubbers with UV light kit. 2.2. Scope. Machine needs to be an autonomous 20-inch three wheel battery powered stand on automatic scrubber with the ability to scrub and vacuum in one pass. Machine needs to be operational in both autonomous and manual cleaning modes Machine needs to offer two modes of autonomous cleaning: Copycat mode shall replicate exactly what the operator does in a single manual ride and play it back each tie thereafter. Machine shall replicate when/where the operator adjusts down pressure, vacuum power, solution flow and water Fill0In mode shall allow the operator to drive the perimeter of a room once and automatically calculate the most efficient route to scrub each inch of the area and avoid obstacles along the way each time thereafter. Machine needs to be certified to meet CSA (Canadian Standards Association) and ANSI (American National Standards Institute) autonomous safety standards: CSA/ANSI C22.2#336:2018 ED.1 UL 60335-1: 2016 ED.6 UL 60335-2-72: 2017 ED.1 CSA C22#60335-1: 2016 ED.2 CSA C22.2#60335-2-72:2017 ED.1 UVGI Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation for disinfecting while cleaning Machine needs to have a separate safety system independent of the mapping, obstacle system and path planning. It shall override autonomous system and can stop immediately if an unsafe event is detected. Shall have drop offs sensors to detect drop-offs like a loading dock, stairs, escalators, etc. Machine shall notify people around the machine of direction with turn signals. Machine needs to operate up to 5-6 hours autonomously on a single charge (floor type dependent) and up to 2.5 hours of uninterrupted cleaning between dump and refill. Machine needs to alert the operator as soon as it needs assistance or is ready for another task. Operator will receive an SMS message directly to their cell phone with all the details. Operator shall be able to subscribe and unsubscribe to this service as they choose with a simple text message. Machine needs to communicate via WiFi/4G/etc. with devices and other machines for maintenance, troubleshooting and data transmission for other purposes. Machine needs to operate autonomously with or without the lights on with no compromise to safety using infrared sensors and cameras to sense and detect position and obstacles. This allows for a reduction in facility costs by operating with less lights and HVAC systems running. Machine needs to be unaffected by harsh bright lights while operating autonomously Machine needs to be equipped with SC-50-UV light for disinfecting surfaces while scrubbing located on the back of the scrubber. Machine needs to operate autonomously at a speed of 2.35 mph. Machine needs to sense an obstacle up to 80 feet ahead on the cleaning path and automatically create a safe path around without stopping. When an obstacle is suddenly added to the cleaning path, the machine shall stop and determine a safe route around the obstacle. Customer needs to have full access to reports, updated daily, that tracks and details autonomous/manual run time, time of the day operation, and error messages Customer needs to have access to TrackClean which records operational data of your fleet and ensures transparency. TrackClean data includes machine working time, machine down time, time of day that each activity occurred, the geographic location of the machine 24/7, Machine ID, and as an option can include information about the operator through the Smart Key system. Customer needs to have access to the Site Assist app to provide the site manager with reel-time machine usage data and send notification if there are deviations in start time or performance. Needs to be a minimum of 8.2 degrees for transport mode, 4.5 degrees in manual mode, and 2.8 degrees in autonomous cleaning mode. Software updates needs to be provided free of charge and installed on the machine as soon as possible through the machines interface. Machine needs to have secure communication ensure by IT encryption standards to prohibit any unauthorized party to access machine data or machine directly. No physical driving possible through remote machine access or maleficent self-driving software updates. Machine needs to use a two-key system to enable supervisors to configure the machine to best fit their facility. Lock out certain features like double down pressure, higher flow rates to reduce damage and operating costs. Assign keys to individual users to see who has been operating the machines. Yellow Supervisor Key: Allows for creating new autonomous cleaning plans and deleting old ones. Can also configure the machine to exact parameters for the most efficient clean. Blue Operator Key: Can only play back an autonomous cleaning path, can t create new ones or delete old ones. The machine needs to be available in the following configuration: 20-inch Orbital for the scrub system shall be a dual random orbital scrubbing system that utilizes one 20 scrub pad. Each pad shall have two rotational speeds. The micro-orbit speed needs to be 2,250 in ¼ inch (.64) orbits, and it shall be no greater than 10 RPMS for floor finish removal. Using one 0.74 hp (550 Watt) brush drive motor shall be used to drive the pad driver, onboard detergent dispensing system, onboard battery charger with a removable pad holder. Machine can not exceed a sound pressure level of 63 dB A when measured in accordance with IEC 60704-1/ISO 11201 for operator safety, comfort and daytime cleaning of occupied spaces. The machine needs to have a quiet mode that further reduces the sound level to 60dB A in noise sensitive environments. Machine needs to have as standard an onboard detergent dispensing system (EcoFlex onboard detergent dispensing system) utilizing a 1.3-gallon refillable cartridge that allows the use of any manufacturers detergent, operates at all available flow rates, and allows the quick interchange of multiple detergent for varied cleaning applications. The system needs to be able to clean in four distinct modes to minimize costs, reduce labor, and ensure environmental sustainability. Chemical-free cleaning (zero detergent) Ultra-low detergent strength (weak detergent) Full Detergent strength (strong detergent) Burst of Power (60 second increase in detergent strength, brush pressure and solution flow) The onboard detergent system needs to be capable of accurately diluting detergents at the following ratios at any flow rate. 400:1, ¼ oz/gal, 0.25% 300:1, -oz/gal, 0.3% 256:1 ½ oz/gal 0.4% 200:1 oz/gal, 0.66% 150:1 oz/gal, 0.66% 128:1, 1 oz/gal, 0.8& 100:1 oz/gal 1% 64:1, 2 0z/gal, 1.5% 50:1, 2.5 oz/gal, 2% 32:1, 4 oz/gal, 3% Orbital machines need to come standard with a calibrated low solution flow rate setting (Smart Solution) that consistently and repeatably sets a low solution flow rate to increase the per tank run time or productivity per tank full thereby lowing detergent costs, labor costs and reducing environmental impact.
