CLIN 004: On-site replacement, including removal, installation, testing, and startup, one (1) job, lump sum. Unit Price/Each Piece of Equipment and Total Cost, as well as Equipment Manufacturers and Model Numbers are to be provided in proposals responding to this solicitation. Description literature for CLIN 001, CLIN 002 and CLIN 003 demonstrating compliance with salient characteristics is required for all products, including those of the ‘sole source' or ‘brand name.' (vi) SPECIFICATIONS: The Contractor shall provide all labor, equipments, materials, appurtenances, specialty items, services and all required work to replace the existing three Unstabilized Sludge Storage Tank (USST) 125 HP mixing pumps and motors with new 75 HP pumps and motors with Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) in accordance with the attached performance work statement (PWS). The new pumps shall be Horizontal End-Suction back pull-out disc pumps, 10-inch suction and 8-inch discharge, with Capacity: 1500.0 GPM (US), Total Dynamic Head: 40.0 ft., Pumpage: Wastewater. The new pumps shall have non-impingement pumping action, with minimal contact between pump and fluid (non-contact pumping mechanism). DiscFlo Model 1008-2-2HHD Pump Salient Characteristics: The pumps shall provide external recirculation mixing of the combined primary sludge and primary skimmings of the Unstabilized Storage Tanks. The Mixing pumps to meet or exceed requirements: Total Dynamic Head: 40.0 ft., 75 HP, Horizontal End -Suction back pull-out disc, 10-inch Suction and 8-inch discharge, Capacity: 1500.0 GPM (US), Wet end materials in Maxalloy 700 construction and Non-impingement pumping action, with minimal contact between pump and fluid (non-contact mechanism). GE Ultra Electric Motor Salient Characteristics: 75 HP, 1800-RPM, TEFC, 460-volt, 3-phase, 60-Hz, Cast iron construction, totally enclosed non-ventilated or totally enclosed fan-cooled construction for sewer environment. Reliance GV3000 Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) Salient Characteristics: 75 HP, 460 VAC 150 Amps, 3-phase Fuses, Super remote interfaces, Remote key board, Interface cable, and Nema 1 force vent positive pressure cabinet. The justification for other than full and open competition (J&A) Authority Cited: The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302.-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. Reason for Authority Cited: Pumps - Discflo model 1008-2-2HHD horizontal end -suction back pull-out Disc pumps are the only pump on the market that provides non-impingement pumping action, with minimal contact between pump and fluid (non-contact mechanism). Motors - Powered by a GE Ultra 75-HP, 1800-RPM, TEFC, 460-volt, 3-Phase, 60-Hz electrical motor or equal. Pumps shall be operated by Variable Frequency Drives (VFD), Reliance GV3000 75 HP, 460 VAC, Super Remote Interfaces, Remote Keypad, 3Phase Fuses (75 HP @ 460 VAC 150 Amps), Interface Cable and Nema 1 force Vent Positive Pressure Cabinet or equal VFD. Efforts to Obtain Competition: Intent publicized in FedBizOpps within the combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial item and associated installation services on-site. Actions to Increase Competition: Salient characteristics will be provided for potential brand name or equal responses. Solicitation evaluation will be based upon lowest-price technically acceptable offer. Market Survey: Research conducted on-line through catalog searches of manufacturers and suppliers with only the identified manufacturer clearly meeting the salient characteristics. There were a very limited number of additional manufacturers that were located; however, it was unclear as to whether, or not their product met all required salient characteristics. Other Factors: The sludge handling pumps have been problematic since the startup of the plant due to the fine silt present in the influent. This silt causes excessive wear, greatly shortening the life of the packing piston. The proposed Discflo pumps offer the potentially best solution. These types of pumps have non-impingement pumping action with minimal contact between pump and fluid (non-contact pumping mechanism). Disc flow pumps also eliminate the need for constant rebuilding of the pumps saving on money, man power and down time. The maintenance for the pumps would be minimized to routine inspection and cleaning. END OF SPECIFICATIONS. (vii) Delivery of the equipment and installation shall be F.O.B Destination to the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant (SBIWTP), 2995 Clearwater Way, San Diego, CA 92154, as directed by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR).
