- Description
- The U.S. EPA, National Risk Management Research Laboratory, located in Research Triangle Park, NC, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with PS Analytical under the authority of FAR Part 6.302-1 to provide upgrades to two (2) Mercury Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (Hg CEM Systems). The systems will be modified to include the following upgrades: - be capable of performing automated, speciated Hg measurements from combustion processes from at pollution control inlet and outlet location - be capable of periodic, user defined, automated quality assurance/quality control checks that assess zero/span instrument drift and system bias using self-contained Hg0 gaseous standard calibration/calibration check source(s) - be able to control and automate measurement frequency from each sampling location, including independent control of the frequency of total and speciated Hg measurements -be equipped with 3 complete heated sampling probe, filter, pumping, and speciation systems - be equipped with Wet/Dry converter/sample conditioning system - be equipped with 3 heated (360F?), 50ft, PFA sample lines Probes: - be equipped with inertial probe sample interface systems for sampling in high PM environments (3) - each inertial probe/Hg CEMS must be capable of automated sample flow rate control - each inertial probe/Hg CEMS must be capable of maintaining sample flow at constant flow rates ranging from 5-50 lpm (? 0.5 lpm) - each inertial probe/Hg CEMS must be capable of measuring and monitoring sample flow rate accuractely and precisely (?5% of sample flow?) - each inertial probe/Hg CEMS must be capable of introducing the Hg0 calibration gases at multiple probe locations including as a mimimum the probe tip, immediately upstream of the inertial filter, and downstream of the inertial filter Hg0 calibration systems - the Hg0 gas generators must be upgraded, including factory calibration and check out to ensure that they are comparable - the Hg0 gas generators must be capable of delivering gaseous concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 250 ?g/m3 at flow rates ranging from =2lpm to =10lpm Since PS Analytical holds proprietary rights to this EPA-owned system, it is the only known source that can provide the equipment and services needed to complete the governments requirements. However, any firm believing itself capable of meeting EPA requirements may submit technical documentation to establish the potential of completing such work. Any such documentation must be submitted within 15 days of electronic posting of this notice (before Wednesday, August 23, 2006 at 10:00 AM EST). A determination not to compete the proposed purchase order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The applicable NAICS code is 334516. Parties should submit their technical documentation to Mr. Josh Bowers, using the following methods: 1.) by fax to 513.487.2107, or 2.) by email (bowers.joshua@epa.gov).
