The requirement is for supplying and installing all necessary hardware and software on the National Park Service's existing power generating equipment to allow remote monitoing and data logging of the equipment. When responding to this RFQ contractors shall provide pricing as follows: CLIN 0001 Supply and install all necessary hardware, software, labor and travel to allow remote monitoring of the NPS Generators as described below in the SOW. $_____________ CLIN 0002 OPTION #1: Replace existing Woodward EGCP-2 genset control units with Woodward GCP-30 series genset control units. $_____________. NOTE: The proposal must include all equipment, supplies, materials, transportation and labor to accomplish the items listed above. 1. SCOPE OF WORK: CLIN 1 (Base) Supply and install upgraded hardware and software to allow monitoring, diagnostic analysis and constant data logging to the generator switchgear PLC (Allen-Bradley SLC500), generator control panels (Woodward EGCP-2) and the existing Electronic Power Monitors (PML 7300) installed on the Bus and Main breaker at the Bartlett Cove power generation plant in Glacier Bay National Park, Gustavus, Alaska. The system must allow access to the monitoring systems via the park intranet from any secure NPS desktop or laptop computer (GFE). Non NPS access for monitoring or diagnostic functions must be accomplished by autonomous point to point (dial up) modem connection. The outside connection cannot contact or impact NPS communication systems due to security requirements. The access must include secure modification of the generator switchgear operating parameter data stored in the PLC and the PLC control program. The system shall include a dedicated desktop computer, supplied by the NPS, which will provide connectivity with the generator switchgear via an Ethernet connection at the switchgear. The preferred method of communication from the monitoring computer to the generator switchgear is Ethernet using Modbus TCP protocol. Communication gateway or protocol bridge/conversion hardware will be required to match the protocol of the equipment being monitored. The contractor will supply and install development software required to generate graphics screens that show the current operating status of each generator and the status of the distribution breakers onto the desktop monitoring computer. The minimum requirements of parameters monitored and recorded include: kWh; kW; kVA; kW peak demand; three phase voltage; three phase amperage; VAR; frequency; engine RPM; engine temperature; engine oil pressure; and engine run time. Also, the development software will include provisions for recording system alarm/event data and historically trending any of the available system power data with graphing capabilities. The Allen-Bradley RSLogix 500 software, required to program the Allen-Bradley SLC500 PLC, shall be included and installed on the desktop monitoring computer. The RSLogix 500 software shall use port 0 of the Allen-Bradley SLC 5/04 CPU. While on site the contractor will inspect the switchgear, PLC, generator controls and perform troubleshooting of the system and provide written documentation of any faults or potential problems with the automatic engine transfer and load-sharing systems. They will correct any functional or programming issues and set all parameters to meet the power generation systems present needs and confirm functional system operation. The contractor shall provide hands on training for power plant/switchgear operators in the operation and maintenance of monitoring equipment. CLIN 2 (OPTION 1): This optional bid is to replace the existing Woodward EGCP-2 genset control units in the switchgear panel with Woodward GCP-30 series genset control units. There are a total of three genset control units mounted on the switchgear panel, one 160 KW genset, one 275 KW genset, and one 325 KW genset. The work will include supplying all parts, supplies, materials and labor to modify the switchgear panel and generator control and installation of the GCP-30 series units. The new controls shall allow the gensets to operate independently or load share two or three gensets simultaneously. All monitoring and connectivity as described in item number one applies to this option. 2. DELIVERY: The contractor shall provide all labor, supplies, materials, software, hardware and tools to complete the work on site. The government will supply the desktop computer, dial up modem and the Ethernet connection at the switch gear. Gustavas Alaska IS NOT on the Alaska road system and can only be reached via airplane or boat. Once in Gustavas, Barlett Cove is accessible via a secondary road. The work must be completed no later than November 9, 2007.
