SOL RFP-7241 DUE 091098 POC Karen Smith (202) 324-8808 This is a
combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial services prepared in
accordance with the format in FAR subpart 12.6 as supplemented with
additional information included in this notice. This announcement
constitutes the only solicitation of this requirement, proposals are
being requested and a solicitation package will not be issued. This
combined synopsis/solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses that
are in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular 97-05. The
Request for Proposal (RFP) number is 7241. This procurement is a 100%
small business set-aside under the standard industrial classification
code 7538. The 1997 North American Industry Classification System code
is 81111. The small business size standard is $5.0 million. The FBI,
Engineering Research Facility currently has in its possession two
enclosed cargo trailers -- 1 Sooner 7'x16' and 1 Cargo Mate 7'x14' with
a requirement to have the following installation and modifications
performed. This task will include the installation of a pneumatic mast
system, generator installation, generator enclosure, fuel cell, power
transfer devices, air conditioner unit, roof access ladder, rooftop
platform, low-profile pan and tilt unit, and wire an AC load center.
PNEUMATIC MAST SYSTEM -- The mast system consists of a Will-Burt model
7-42-367 mast. The air compressor is a 120-volt AC, 3/4 horsepower,
two cylinders, oil less air compressor, with an unloader check valve,
and a 0-60 gauge, and accommodates a manual valve to control the extend
and retract functions. A reserve air tank of approximately five gallons
will accompany the pneumatic system. The electric air valves control
mast extend and retract functions and are wired to operate with the
antenna positioner control box. 1" Nycoil (wire will be supplied by
FBI) is secured to the trailer roof with a 90-degree stress relief
connector. The top side of the Nycoil is secured with two stainless
steel clamps. The wire supplied for the Nycoil pull will have five feet
at the top and the remaining wire off the 100' spools will be coiled
neatly on the inside of the trailer. Note that the wire supplied and
pulled through the Nycoil will also accommodate the mast beacon, and
all necessary pan and tilt cabling. The mast lubricator will be mounted
to the front wall. A mast warning system consisting of a proximity
switch will detect a rise of two inches and will trigger the safety
system. The light warning system will consist of three bright red
lights (measurements are approximately 3"H x 4" W) mounted in two
different locations. The first location mounts one light in front of
each trailer fender skirt -- note that light front must face the front
of the pull vehicle and be detectable in mirrors. The second location
mounts the light on the front wall so it can be observed from the pull
vehicle rear view mirror. Mast lights -- not warning lights -- will
consist of 2 -- 100,000 candlepower lights mounted to the roof within
18" of the mast base. One is aimed straight in the air to observe
obstructions before mast is raised and the other is aimed at the top of
the mast when it is fully deployed. A clear strobe beacon will be
mounted to the pan & tilt unit. Light switches will be located on the
passenger side wall. One switch will control the mast beacon, the other
one will control the two 100K flood lights. Shipping and handling
charges to the vendor's location. The installation of the entire mast
system. The mast will be centered inside the front of the trailer
approximately 18" from the front wall. A second safety system will
consist of a relay trigger that disables the mast extend function while
the trailer's electrical system is wired to the vehicle. The mast
control box connectors (supplied with the pan and tilt unit) will be
located in two areas. The primary area will be on the front outside
wall located in a weatherproof housing -- it will have all control
functions. The weatherproof housing will have a screw cap to cover the
mast connector when not in use and have a spring to hold the cap up
when in use. Note that the connector will be mounted to the wall on a
.090" thick backing plate. The second connector will be located on the
driver side wall near the work station area -- it will have all
control functions EXCEPT the mast extend function. This connector will
be mounted in the wire trough. GENERATOR -- The generator is supplied
by the FBI and is a 7 kW Onan model NHM -- Marquis series gas
generator. Company will follow manufacturers' recommendations for
proper installation. Wiring of generator system is necessary --
starting and electrical circuits. The FBI will provide the remote start
unit and harness. The generator will also be connected to the fuel
cell. GENERATOR ENCLOSURE -- The generator enclosure will be fabricated
and installed -- following manufacturers recommendations for minimum
clearances -- for an Onan model NHM generator. The enclosure will be
manufactured from .090 aluminum with corners overlapping one inch,
welded and sealed to eliminate vapor entry, lined with sound deadening
material, and have a small 12 VDC light mounted to the interior
compartment ceiling controlled by a switch triggered when the door is
opened. The door will be fabricated from the same thickness material as
the enclosure itself, use gas springs to hold the door open, and mount
flush with the frame. The door and frame unit will be cut into the
trailer side and painted to match the exterior color. The door hardware
will utilize a stainless steel keyed paddle lock, and a continuous
stainless steel hinge. The door will be hinged at the top. The
generator enclosure will be located on the driver side wall and in the
forward part of the trailer. Any sidewall support structure that is
removed to accommodate the generator enclosure, must be reinforced.
FUEL CELL -- Will have a capacity of approximately 18 -- 20 gallons and
be constructed of aluminum. The fuel nozzle will twist off and have a
visible fuel level indicator. It will be mounted in such a way to the
tongue of the trailer to accommodate a load distribution hitch bracket
and not affect the operation of the leveling cam lever. The fuel
outlet -- if mounted on the top of the tank must have a protective
cover to avoid damage if someone steps off the ladder an onto the tank.
A plastic fuel cell is unacceptable. POWER TRANSFER DEVICES -- These
devices will be supplied by the FBI and include two Marinco 30 amp
twist lock power inlets, two Magnetek generator transfer switches, and
the Statpower Prosine 2.5 sine wave inverter. The power inlets will be
mounted to the outside driver side wall next to the generator
compartment at approximately chest height. These connectors will have
a .090" thick aluminum backing plate attached to the outside trailer
wall and then have the inlets mounted to it. The transfer switches and
inverter will be mounted on the inside driver side wall above the
wiring trough. The inverter will be mounted to a reinforced wall
mounted bracket system. It will also have an enclosure that houses the
remote panel which will be located next to the inverter and just above
the wiring trough. The 20 amp circuit will power up the mast compressor
and the pan and tilt unit. AIR CONDITIONER UNIT -- The roof top air
conditioner will be supplied by the FBI, and it will be installed
according to the manufacturers specification it is a Coleman 13,500 BTU
unit. Wiring to the AC Load Center is required. Note that the inverter
will not control this circuit. ROOF ACCESS LADDER -- A ladder will be
fabricated and mounted to the front outside wall on the curbside of
the trailer. It will be constructed of 1 1/4" round aluminum side rails
that terminate at the top in a "candy cane" formation -- approximately
18" above the roof line. The ladder rungs are constructed of 1 1/4"
aluminum channel with non-slip tape on each tread. ROOF TOP PLATFORM --
This work surface area is located around the mast and positioned such
that the first step getting off the ladder is the platform when
accessing the roof. It will measure approximately 60"W x 47"L and be
constructed of Grip-Strut safety grating with perimeter reinforced
aluminum channel. The top edges will be marked with yellow and black
striped reflective safety tape. LOW-PROFILE PAN AND TILT SYSTEM -- The
pan and tilt system will measure approximately 25"L x 10"W x 18"H,
however, once mounted to the mast, it will not add more than 5" to the
top of the mast. It will be a 120 VAC model and be accompanied by a
mast control box that not only controls the pan and tilt unit, but also
controls all the mast system functions. A model LPAP-5HD variable speed
Antenna Positioner is required. WIRING OF THE AC LOAD CENTER -- The AC
Load Center (Square D) and breakers will be provided by the FBI and
wired it into the entire system -- following all applicable electrical
codes. It will be located on the driver side wall at approximate eye
level and about four to six feet from the front wall. The wiring will
be located in a 4" x 4" steel wiring trough with a removable face
plate. The wiring trough will be located along the width of the front
wall (approximately 4' in length) and down the driver side wall --
approximately 8' in length. The height of the wiring trough inside is
determined by the connectors located on the outside of the trailer
wall. Wiring that branches from the trough will be routed through
conduit. The general wiring circuit is as follows. The generator has
two circuits -- a 20 amp and a 30 amp. One circuit goes to each
transfer switch. The shore power inlets (2 separate circuits) one
circuit goes to each transfer switch. Out of transfer one switch, the
20 amp circuit goes to the inverter -- wired through its internal
transfer switch then back to the A phase of the load center. Out of the
second transfer switch, the wiring will terminate on the B phase of the
load center. Note that the inverter will be wired completely to battery
system. Note that the battery system is not supplied nor is required
for the installation. The FBI will wire the battery system and only
requires the contractor terminate the DC wiring to a specific area (the
front interior wall between the mast and the side entrance door). Note
that the battery system supplies power to the inverter, which, in
turn, energizes the A phase in the load center. The A phase is the
energized circuit which will supply power to the mast compressor and
pan and tilt controls. Required delivery is 45 days ARO, FOB
destination, Fredericksburg, VA. All reasonable sources may submit a
proposall which shall be considered by the agency. Responses to this
notice must be provided in writing. The provisions of FAR 52.212-1 --
