67 -- ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS - BOREHOLE VIDEO SYSTEM Sol 143868-RFP95-12078. Due 041795. POC Judy M. Gerlach, (412) 937-2842. The OSM has a requirement to purchase electronic components for a borehole video system. The borehole video system includes downhole camera probes, wire-line telemetry cable, wire-line winch reel system, and surface control and monitoring system. This system is used for viewing borehole, shafts, and mine voids with axial and radial view cameras. This system includes components that provide appropriate lighting, side view scanning, compass azimuth of side view, hole orientation, and measurement of side view distances. The system was designed and fabricated by Science Applications International Corporation, SEA Operations for OSM in 1992. Two major components were destroyed and require replacement. The components interconnect with other probe modules and the surface control console. One component is a radial pinhole camera with lens and lighting to provide a close-up view typical in boreholes. The other component is an electronic/instrument module that provides power and signal conditioning for the camera module. This component also includes instrumentation for rotating the downhole probe, inclinometers, fluxgate compass and computer control circuitry. Modifications to the replacement components are being considered in this procurement. These modifications include a low light intensifier, adding radial distance measurement capability to the radial pinhole camera and a more compact electronic compass to the instrument section. The replacement and modification work requires extensive knowledge of the existing video system. The replacement components must operate with the existing cameras, telemetry and control system. One of each component is to be procured. Estimated cost is under $75,000. The components shall be compatible with existing equipment and shall undergo Final Acceptance Testing. Fabrication and delivery is to be completed within 120 days from date of award. Full warranty of components is required for one year from acceptance date. Negotiations to be conducted solely with Sachse Engineering Associates, Inc., (S.E.A), 5480 Baltimore Drive, LaMesa, CA 91942-2066. Any other sources that can meet the stated requirements must furnish proof of capability in writing not later than 30 days from the date of this publication. Funds are currently not available. Solicitation No. 143868-RFP95-12078 will be available on or after April 17, 1995. All requests must be in writing to the attention of Judy M. Gerlach at the above address. No telephone or facsimile requests will be honored. (066)
