N -- AIR COMPRESSOR SYSTEM SOL F04699-96-R-0150 DUE 062896 POC For copy, contact the info office indicated., For additional information contact Melby.K5s/Pkocd/916-643-3795 SACRAMENTO AIR LOGISTICS CENTER is procuring an air system to provide compressed air for the new CERP pilot metal casting facility. The systems requiring the compressed air will be used to support emission experimentation of automotive castings and production of Department of Defense castings. The Government is also procuring associated data, service visits, on call telephone assistance, and spare parts. It is the intent of the government to purchase a commercially available air compressor system, without the need for new development; therefore, the contractor shall demonstrate that the manufacturer of the air compressor system has a minimum of ten (10) years experience providing compressed air systems for foundry or similar dusty applications. The contractor shall include proof of the required qualifications in their solicitation response. The air compressor shall be an oil cooled, 200 horsepower (HP) positive displacement rotary screw type unit rated to deliver at least 990 cubic feet per minute (CFM) at 100 psig, 24 hours a day. The air compressor motor shall be at least 460 volt, 3 phase 60 cycle TEFC electric motor with oversized bearings suitable for foundry conditions. The compressor shall include all necessary components including a self-contained cooling system (no cooling water hook-up required_, microprocessor control system, motor starters, lubrication system, and all internal piping and wiring. The unit shall be suitable for continuous operation in ambient temperatures up to 115 degrees F. The unit shall include an integral air cooled aftercooler with a moisture separator and condensate trap. The control system shall include an operator input device for pressure set point adjustment and providing system automatic start and modulation. The control system digital display shall at a minimum include system status, total run time, and fault information displays and energy consumption. The unit shall be housed within a sound attenuated (to 75 dBA or less) and dust protected enclosure suitable for high dust foundry conditions. The enclosure shall have a rigid base with forklift fork holes for mobility and removable access panels for maintenance. The unit shall be capable of being installed outside without the need for any additional weather protection. Also included shall be a refrigerated type air drier to provide selectable dewpoint down to at least 35 degrees F at 1000 CFM, a filter separator providing at least 99.98% removal efficiency to 0.1 micron at 1000 CFM, a filter separator providing at least 99.98% removal efficiency to 0.01 micron at 125 CFM, and two each minimum 500 gallon vertical compressed air tanks with accessories. The drier shall be interconnected with the air compressor to automatically start whenever the compressor operates. The refrigerant shall comply with ozone depleting substance restrictions. The drier shall include a microprocessor based control system and digital display that a minimum provides user adjustable operating parameters (dewpoint control, automatic drain time, etc.), fault warning and failure status, and inlet/outlet air temperature and pressure, drier on time and compressor on time. The drier shall include a 99 percent or better efficiency centrifugal moisture separator with a solenoid operated automatic drain valve. The two each 500 gallon capacity air receiver tanks shall be ASME pressure certified to at least a 150 psi working pressure. The tanks shall each be fitted with a safety relief valve, a pressure gauge, and a drain connection with an automatic electronic solenoid operated drain valve to remove condensate. All interconnecting piping, electrical utility connections and installation shall be provided by the government. The air compressor system shall be provided FOB McClellan AFB CA and shall include three (3) copies each of standard commercial installation, operation and maintenance manuals for each component and three (3) copies each of a parts list for the system. An ombudsman has been appointed for this acquisition. The primary purpose of the ombudsman is to receive and communicate serious concerns from potential offerors when an offeror prefers not to use established channels to communicate his/her concerns during the proposal development phase of this acquisition. The purpose of the ombudsman is not to diminish the authority of the contracting officer or program director, but to communicate contractor concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations to the appropriate Government personnel.

Routing communication concerning this acquisition should be directed to the buyer listed elsewhere in this synopsis. When requested, the ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The approximate issue/response date will be 07 Jun 96. The anticipated award date will be 19 Jul 96. Written procedure will be used for this solicitation. No telephone requests. Only written or faxed requests received directly from the requestor are acceptable. All responsible sources solicited may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered. Specifications, plans, or drawings relating to the procurement described are incomplete or not available and cannot be furnished by the Government. (0152)
