66 -- MACHINERY CONDITIONING MONITORING EQUIPMENT POC Alan C. Fudge, Contracting Officer, 931-454-4406 This is a notice of intent to negotiate a contract with Bentley Nevada Corp of Minden, NV for machiner conditioning monitoring equipment. This equipment is for motor/compressor drive trains typically consisting of a 14,000-28,500-HP, 1800-3600 RPM synchronous motor and 1800-3600 RPM axial-flow compressor. This equipment will monitor radial vibration, velocity, acceleration, thrust position, shaft RPM and phase, and bearing temperature. It will also provide inputs to existing data analysis systems, and communicate with networked control and monitoring systems. It must have an LCD display which can either be mounted with the monitoring system or up to 4,000 feet away. the dsiplay must be capable of displaying all proportional values, including overall vibration (displacement, velocity, acceleration), gap, 1X amplitude and phase, temperatures, and other process variables, from each of the monitors within its rack. Each display must have the capability of providing a minimum of 20 user-configurable screens. The system shall be capable of two-way communications with other systems (DCS or PLC based) over a plant communications network via a standard protocol (TCPIP or MODBUS). RS232/422 serial I/O capability shallbe available as an option. All available monitored paramaters shall be available through this communications link including overall value, gap, 1X amplitude and phase, 2X amplitude and phase along with temperatures and other process variables. The monitoring system, including the display, will be software configurable (windows based) using any standard personal computer running Windows 95/97 or Windows NT. Password protection shall be provided for control of access to the rack configuration. All equipment shall be compatible with existing Bentley Nevada equipment. This synopsis is for a sole source action as authorized by FAR 6.302-1. No solicitation documents are available. However, interested sources may identify their interest by responding to this notice. This response must provide proof of capability to provide an acceptable product by submitting pricing data, an accurate description of the equipment proposed demonstrating compliance with the requirements described in this synopsis, and make and model numbers of the equipment. Only responses containing this data will be considered for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. See Numbered Note 22. (0023)
