58 -- LASER LIGHT SHOW EQUIPMENT UPGRADE SOL 1425-97-SP-10-14280 POC Joe Pratt/Contract Specialist (208) 378-5139 E-MAIL: Click here to contact Mr. Pratt., jpratt@pn.usbr.gov. The Grand Coulee Power Office, located in Grand Coulee, Washington has a requirement for: furnishing, testing, and installing new (NOT rebuilt or refurbished) laser equipment for their existing laser light show. The tubes must match the existing installed system which projects a 30-minute laser light show on the face of Grand Coulee Dam each evening approximately late May through early September. The only known manufacturer of the laser tubes required is Coherent Laser Group of Santa Clara CA. The existing "Innova 200" system consists of power supplies, PCB scanner drivers, F/X driers, AO drivers, mirrors and optics, optical positioning equipment, actuators, a deionized water cooling system, 2 krypton lasers and 2 argon lasers, an ADAT digital playback system for 10 tracks of laser and 2 tracks of audio, computer controller, and other equipment. GCPO wishes to replace the Innova 200 tubes with the new "Sabre" system tubes (2 Sabre Skylight Krypton; 2 Sabre Skylight Argon 20 all with power supplies) andreplace the current "dual" scanning system to a single scanning system using "Cambridge 6810" x-y scanners. The requirement also includes: spare parts; alignment and calibration of the system; replacement of the optics components; a 30-day after installation "checkup"; and a training program. After the installation of the new equipment the system will be a "push button" operation. The installation is highly sophisticated and very unusual since the laser show is projected several thousand feet onto the irregular surface of the dam face at a scan angle of nearly 100 degrees horizontal. This requires high power densities, low beam divergence, low loss optics, and a high degree of color collimation. This requirement is not a set-aside. The associated standard industrial classification code is 3674 and the small business size standard is 500 employees or less. The required dates for installation is May 10, 1998 -- the entire system must be returned to full working order by that date. Offers will be evaluated for compatibility with existing equipment, the offeror's proposed warranty, experience of the proposed service/installation personnel, and other factors. A 36-month (or 1,500 hours of use, whichever occurs first) warranty from the date of installation of the tubes by the Contractor is desired, with terms and conditions of the warranty pursuant to the clause at FAR clause 52.246-17. This solicitation will be issued on 3.5 floppy disk. Contact Joe Pratt via by email at jpratt@pn.usbr.gov to request a copy of the solicitation, or fax your request to 208 378 5108. Phone requests for the solicitation will not be honored. All responsible sources may submit a proposal, which we will consider. (0337)
