STATEMENT OF WORK Seawater Pump Upgrade June, 2012 BACKGROUND The South West Fisheries Science Center in Santa Cruz is a fisheries research facility of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), which is part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Department of Commerce. It was occupied in December of 2001. It is located at 110 Schaffer Road, Santa Cruz, California. The Laboratory is approximately 1000 feet from the coastal surf zone, which is considered harsh environment for building structures and their systems. SCL receives seawater from the ocean through Long Marine lab. The seawater is stored in the two 30,000 gal storage tanks on the North side of the building. Water is gravity fed from these tanks to a sump where it is then pumped through sand filtration, a UV sterilizer and then distributed to the various aquariums for sustaining fish. Many of these “wet” studies are long term, delicate and cannot be duplicated should a system failure kill the fish or adversely alter conditions. Part of the lab’s work is with ESA listed Coho Salmon. Survival of these captive fish and success of the research require a constant flow of fresh seawater. Our existing seawater system utilizes two (2) Fybroc pumps with 20hp motors to distribute seawater to our fish tanks. The pumps operate in a lead/lag arrangement. Water is pumped from a sump, filtered and distributed to the fish tanks. The amount of water needed for the aquarium varies, but falls well below the maximum capacity of the pump. To maintain proper pump curves the return line is manually adjusted to send the unused water back to the sump (where it is re-pumped). Each time an aquarium tank is adjusted the return line must be recalibrated to maintain the proper pressure/pump curve. The existing pumping system is a significant waste of energy. Also, the pump motors are aging and rusting out and need to be replaced before they fail. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1. Replace two (2) existing 20hp seawater pump motors with energy efficient, TEFC motors. 2. Install a VFD drive for each pump motor. 3. Install a pressure sensor on the aquarium supply line. 4. Calculate and redesign the system to meet variable load conditions that track consumption and optimum energy efficiency utilizing the new VFDs, pressure sensor(s) and integrate with monitoring points in the existing Delta EMS system to automatically regulate the pressure in the seawater distribution line to meet optimum pump curves and maintain optimum pressure regardless of changing downstream demands. 5. The new system shall work as a completed and functional system meeting all applicable current federal, state, and municipal laws, codes and regulation and including the State of California Title 24. 6. All construction materials shall match the existing system. Hangers, strut, hardware, wire ways and electrical enclosures must be constructed of plastic, fiberglass, stainless steel or other corrosion resistant materials. Painted, zinc plated or epoxy coating of steel or aluminum is not sufficient to prevent saltwater corrosion. 7. Startup and commission the pump systems. 8. Clean up the area of any debris. 9. Provide on-site training to NMFS facility staff for operation of the pump control system. 10. Warranty on installed equipment and work. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 1. All work shall be performed by trained and qualified employees of the Contractor, or approved sub contractor. 2. All work under this contract shall take place during regular hours of the trade. 7:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. No weekend, federal holidays or overtime work is included in this proposal. 3. It is the responsibility of the successful bidder to determine site conditions, equipment, specifications and requirements to successfully complete this project. This statement of work should not be relied on alone to make those calculations or determinations. 4. The seawater system is critical to the processes and survival of the fish. Notification must take place prior to any shutdown of equipment. Only specified NMFS staff shall shut down equipment. 5. Floor drains/troughs in the work area lead directly back to the ocean. All precautions must be taken so that no chemicals or contaminants enter the drains. 6. The contractor must have a minimum of 10 years experience in the mechanical/electrical/motor installation trades. 7. Evaluation Factors--Award will be made based on Best Value, taking into consideration both Price and Experience 1. Submit Motor & VFD make, model and type. 2. Past experience/references. 3. Ability to provide factory authorized warranty & service on installed equipment. 4. Ability to provide 24/7 emergency service on site. 5. Total cost to government
