Z -- REHABILITATION OF VARIABLE FREQUENCY SYSTEM BLDG. 64 SOL RFP3-079367 POC Erick N. Lupson, Contracting Officer, Phone (216) 433-6538, Fax (216) 433-5489, Email Erick.N.Lupson@lerc.nasa.gov WEB: Click here for the latest information about this notice, http://procurement.nasa.gov/EPS/LeRC/date.html#RFP3-079367. E-MAIL: Erick N. Lupson, Erick.N.Lupson@lerc.nasa.gov. The work to be performed shall consists of a Design/Fabricate/Install project providing the engineering, labor, equipment, materials, and installation for a new microprocessor based, solid state electronic synchronous motor starting system (ESMSS) to co-exist with the existing variable frequency motor generators that are currently in the building. The system shall include all necessary auxiliary systems, controls, switchgear, software and modifications to the existing system. The project consists of, 1) Design of Two (2) complete electronic synchronous motor starting systems, 2) Option 1, Fabrication/ Installation ESMSS2 and 3) Option 2, Fabrication/Installation of ESMSS1 unit. The design shall be performed using METRIC UNITS The contractor shall provide all services, labor, materials and equipment necessary to Fabricate, furnish, and install a new Electronic Synchronous Motor Start System (ESMSS). The new starting system shall interface with the following existing systems: 1. SMACS, 2.Louis Allis Solid State Excitation system, and 3. Basler Synchronizer (or supplied with new ESMSS) The Design shall consist of providing field investigation, engineering and detailed final design services, final operations and maintenance manuals, drawings, calculations, hardware submittals, and equipment specifications. A schedule, implementation plan, harmonics analysis, mechanical torsional analysis and test plan shall be prepared for each separate task. The project is to provide a new variable frequency starting system for The Central Air Equipment Building (CAEB). The new starting system shall increase operation, energy and maintenance efficiency. The new system shall increase operation efficiency by 50% (minimum) and energy efficiency by 20% (minimum). Maintenance efficiency is immediately expected to be reduced and many auxiliary systems and moving parts. The new system shall co-exist and integral with the existing variable frequency motor generators that are currently in the building. The new installation shall include all necessary auxiliary systems, software and modifications to the existing system. A new state-of-the-art microprocessor controlled, electronic synchronous motor start system shall use solid state silicon controlled rectifier (SRC) or power transistor technology. The system shall be installed to provide optimum control, start time, high efficiency, increase reliability and minimize maintenance. OPTION 1: The Contractor shall supply the Fabrication/Installation of ESMSS 2 to parallel the existing variable frequency motor generator (VFMG 2). OPTION 2: The Contractor shall supply the Fabrication/Installation of a identical second unit (ESMSS 1) to parallel the other existing variable frequency motor generator (VFMG 1). All requirements in this Statement of Work (SOW) shall apply to both the base contract, Option 1 and Option 2. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. FIXED PRICE CONTRACT is contemplated. Construction Estimate is between $1,000,000. and $5,000,000. Solicitation Forms will be made available as soon as opening date is established. Option may be part of the Construction package for additional work. Request for copies of this proposed procurement should be received as soon as possible in order to facilitate mailing of same to the extent copies are available directly to the inquirer at time of issuance. See Note B. An ombudsman has been appointed -- See Note "B". Prospective offerors shall notify this office of their intent to submit an offer. It is the offeror's responsibility to monitor this site for the release of the solicitation and amendments (if any). Potential offerors will be responsible for downloading their own copy of the solicitation and amendments (if any). Hard copies may be obtained from the identified point of contact; however, the closing date for the hard copy received shall be the same as the solicitation, inclusive of any amendments, released on the Internet.
