- Description
- Engineering Services are required to perform a Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) Study and Implementation on a limited number of systems to be selected by the contractor and subject to Government concurrence at the Naval Submarine Base, New London, Groton, CT. The objective of the study is to apply integrated RCM strategies to maximize facility and equipment reliability while minimizing life-cycle costs. The RCM study will provide the Navy with the optimum mix of reactive, time-or interval-based, predictive-based, and proactive maintenance practices for a limited number of systems at the Submarine Base. The objective of the implementation phase of the effort is to demonstrate the return on investment of the recommendations made in the study. The study shall include but not be limited to the four principles of RCM defined and applied to facilities maintenance as the integration of reactive maintenance (run-to-failure or breakdown maintenance), preventive (interval based) maintenance, Predictive Testing and Inspection (PT&I) (condition based), and proactive maintenance. Techniques used in applying the principles of RCM shall include but not be limited to the following: (1) Age Exploration to determine the most effective intervals for maintenance tasks, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to determine what parts fail, why they usually fail, and what effect their failure has on the systems in total, (2) Predictive Maintenance (PdM) to monitor system performance and/or use of condition monitoring technologies, (3) Preventive/Interval Maintenance to determine time- or cycle-based actions performed to prevent failure, monitor condition, or inspect for failure, and (4) Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) to explore all possible causes related to a machine failure. Specific work items of the study will include: (1) Develop a detailed list on a limited number of systems/components/devices on infrastructures such as piers, HVAC systems, steam generation and distribution systems, and electrical generation and distribution systems selected by the contractor and subject to Government concurrence to which the principles of RCM (preventive, proactive, predictive and reactive maintenance) can be applied; (2) Provide examples of items in private industry and other government agencies that are maintained using RCM that are similar to the items developed in paragraph (1). Also provide the specific RCM procedures used by private industry and other government agencies on the items identified. (3) Develop a prioritized list of recommendations with the top priority being the highest potential payback item; (4) Estimate cost of applying consolidated RCM program recommendations; and (5) Provide any other requirements or identified impediments to the incorporation of RCM principles in Naval Facilities such as organizational changes, revised procurements and/or construction specifications, modifications and/or replacement of existing maintenance management software, logistics, or recommended training. The implementation of this study will be included in this contract, and may be identified as an option or phase that can be exercised at the discretion of the government, and will include: (1) Implementation of selected recommendations from the prioritized list developed in item (3) above. (2) A recommended scope identifying specific facilities systems within the Navy where RCM can be easily (cost/effort) implemented. Firms must be able to accept and accomplish work that involves asbestos, lead paint, PCB, and other hazardous materials. The contractor will be required to provide all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to perform the study and potential implementation. Selected firm will be required to provide documents on a CD-ROM disk in Microsoft Office 2000 for PC (or compatible) format. PDF Files are not acceptable. The contract requires that the selected firm have on-line access to e-mail via the Internet for exchange of correspondence and information. Each firm submitting qualifications for consideration for this contract will be evaluated based on the following evaluation factors. Those firms considered most qualified will be slated for interviews and rated in order of preference based on the evaluation criteria, their ability to fulfill all project requirements, project management, and their proposed approach to accomplish this project which will be presented at the interview. The selected firm will be the firm determined most highly qualified to perform the work based on these evaluation factors and the information presented during the interview discussions. SIGNIFICANT EVALUATION FACTORS (in order of importance): 1. SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE: Specialized experience and technical competence in the type of work required, including where appropriate, experience in energy conservation, pollution prevention, waste reduction, and the use of recovered materials. Provide your firm's experience in the implementation of RCM principles for infrastructures in private industry or government agencies. Specifically identify reactive, preventive, and proactive solutions your firm recommended and implemented for these organizations. 2. PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS: Technical competence by discipline (education, registration and experience) of individual team members. Work must be under the direction of a registered engineer. 3. CAPACITY: Capacity of the firm and project team to accomplish the work within the required time frames and ability to sustain the loss of key personnel. 4. PAST PERFORMANCE: Past performance ratings by government agencies and private industry with respect to work quality, performance, compliance with schedules and cost control. 5. QUALITY CONTROL PROGRAM OF THE FIRM TO ENSURE TECHNICAL ACCURACY OF SUBMITTALS: Firms will be evaluated on the acceptability of their internal quality control program used to ensure technical accuracy and coordination of submittals. 6. LOCATION: Location in the general geographical area of the project and knowledge of the locality of the project (provided that application of this criterion leaves an appropriate number of qualified firms, given the nature and size of the contract). 7. SUBCONTRACTOR UTILIZATION: Use of Small Business (SB), Small Disadvantaged Business (SB), Women Owned Small Business (WOSB), Historically Black Colleges/Universities/Minority Institutions (HBCU/MI), HubZone Small Business, Veterans Owned Small Business (VOSB), and Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), as primary consultants or subconsultants.
