- Description
- 17. The Government intends to issue a solicitation for the design, development, documentation, and fabrication of two (2) handling carts for the cooling chamber used in the TRIDENT II (D5) weapon system. An option for one (1) to four (4) additional carts may be requested. The Cooling Chamber Handling Cart (CCHC) must be able to remove, install, and transport the cooling chamber on a rail system onboard the TRIDENT II (D5) submarine. The cooling chamber is cylindrical and approximately 58 inches high, 30 inches outside diameter, and weighs approximately 4,000 pounds. The cooling chamber contains bolt holes inside, near the top, that may be used for a specially designed handling fixture. The space in which the CCHC must operate is extremely limited and the CCHC must be able to safely lower/lift and hold the cooling chamber into a tight tolerance space approximately 4 feet below deck. The handling cart will be developed using performance specifications provided by the Government. The Government intends to provide a cooling chamber to the contractor for design, development and test purposes. This information may be updated periodically and expanded as additional information becomes available. The anticipated contract type is Cost Plus Incentive Fee awarded on a performance basis, but the Government retains the right to award another contract type if it is deemed more advantageous. The Government intends to release the solicitation, including any subsequent amendments, via the Internet. The solicitation release date is projected to be in late July 2003 and will be released through FedBizOps electronic posting (http://www.fedbizopps.gov). The Government reserves the right to conduct a pre-award survey to include production facility site visits to verify manufacturing capability. Prospective offerors are invited to submit expressions of interest and questions/comments to the POC Thomas L. Heilig, by e-mail to spn62@ssp.navy.mil or US Mail. (E-mail is encouraged, as security measures have delayed regular US Mail deliveries in the Washington area). Prospective offerors are also invited to provide a statement of capabilities and information demonstrating management and technical experience on similar acquisitions and resources necessary to successfully compete for award. Respondents should demonstrate knowledge/expertise in the following areas: design and development of handling equipment; development of drawings and operations/maintenance manuals; fabrication of industrial handling equipment and program management. Respondents should also provide information on contracts for similar work within the past five (5) years. Include complete references, contract titles, dollar values, and points of contact and telephone numbers. The Government is not requesting proposals in response to this pre-solicitation notice, does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this pre-solicitation notice, and does not intend to pay for any information received regarding this pre-solicitation notice. *****
