Batteries are located at 6501 Beacon Dr. Kansas City, MO. Maintenance shall include the following: Guaranteed 4-hour response, 7 days/week, 24 hours/day. Includes 100% parts (excluding batteries and air filters) coverage. Includes 100% labor and travel coverage 7 days/week, 24 hours/day, within 48 contiguous states and Hawaii. Includes one Semi-Annual and one Annual Preventive Maintenance Service scheduled by the customer at the customer?s convenience (excluding national holiday). Includes 1-800 Customer Response Center. Includes access to Customer Services Network on-line internet portal .UPS FULL PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE SERVICE: Semi-Annual Service: Perform a temperature check on all breakers, connection, and associated controls. Repair and/or report all high temperature areas. Perform a complete visual inspection of the equipment including subassemblies, wiring harnesses, contacts, cables and major components. Check the air filters for cleanliness. Check module(s) completely for the following (if applicable): Rectifier and inverter snubber boards for discoloration; Power capacitors for swelling or leaking oil; DC capacitor vent caps that have extruded more than 18%; Record all voltage and current meter readings on the module control cabinet or the system control cabinet; and Measure and record harmonic trap filter currents. Annual Service includes the above, plus: Check the inverter and rectifier snubbers for burned or broken wires. Check all nuts, bolts, screws, and connectors for tightness and heat discoloration Check fuses on the DC capacitor deck for continuity (if applicable). With Government approval, perform operational test of the system including unit transfer and battery discharge. Calibrate and record all electronics to system specifications. Install or perform Engineering Field Change Notices (FCN) as necessary. Measure and record all low-voltage power supple levels. Measure and record phase-to-phase input voltage and currents. Review system performance with customer to address any questions and to schedule any repairs. Battery Inspection Service ?Performed during the UPS Semi-Annual and Annual PM services. Check integrity of battery cabinet (if Applicable). Visual inspection of the battery cabinet and/or room to include: Check for NO-OX grease or oil on all connections.

Recommended use, Recommended by ANSI/NFPA 70B electrical maintenance standard and most insurance companies, annual infrared scans (IR Scan) can identify potential problems before an incident or failure occurs, avoiding costly unscheduled downtime and business interruption. Procedure, scan each accessible load current carrying piece of equipment using an infrared camera. Verify actual temperature of problem areas relative to ambient temperatures noted during thermographic survey. Verify proper working clearances. (NEC 110-16 or 110-34). Document instantaneous current measurements of all safely accessible problem areas. Document contact resistances by millivolt drop method of safety accessible problem areas. Deliverables, Results of the IR Scan shall be summarized in a final report containing the following items: Inventory of equipment tested (equipment description, manufacturer, model). Discrepancies. Temperature difference between the area of concern and the reference area. Probable cause of temperature difference. Areas inspected. Identify inaccessible and/or unobservable areas and/or equipment. Load conditions at time of inspection. Photographs and/or thermograms of the deficient area. Recommended action for repair. Anyone wishing to submit a quote on this solicitation also need to registered in CCR & ORCA. Submit your lump sum quote in writing to: USDA, FSA, KCAO,CAB, P.O. Box 419205, Kansas City, MO 64141-6205, Attn: Sharon Dowse, or by fax to 816-823-4248, Attn: Sharon Dowse. Quotes need to be received no later than October 31, 2006 at 2:00 p.m. CDT. .
