GOVERNMENT SPECIFICATIONS: INTEGRATED REMOVAL OF NINE DISCONTINUED TELEDYNE CONFIGURED MODEL 500c/550 OPACITY MONITORS AND MANUFACTURE, INSTALLATION, AND CERTIFICATION OF NINE TELEDYNE MODEL 560 CONTINUOUS EMISSION MONITORS FOR BOTH HEAT PLANT FACILITIES, WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE (WPAFB), OH 88 ABW/CEVY, DATED MARCH 21, 2008 1.0 PREAMBLE ABOUT ACQUIRED UNIQUE SUPPLIES/ANCILLARY SERVICES: This specifies unique commercial supplies/services to remove and replace nine (9) Teledyne opacity monitors (serial number controlled) with 9 new Teledyne opacity monitors and associated equipment at each heat plant at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) Ohio. Acquisition costs and mission performance risks prohibit replacing existing Teledyne equipment infrastructure with non-Teledyne opacity monitors. This specifies WPAFB technical requirements inherent with buying nine (9) non-national stock numbered commodity items. Acquired commodity items are equipment identified as Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing for Measuring, Displaying, and Controlling Industrial Process Variables (North American Industry Classification System, NAICS 334513. Only one company, TEMCO, has integrated capabilities required to achieve WPAFB specifications and delivery schedule requirements. Only TEMCO, a small business, has sufficient integrated capabilties to achieve WPAFB requirements because the Original Equipment Manufacturer of all Teledyne opacity monitors has designated TEMCO to be the exclusive sales and installation representative for all Teledyne equipment sold in significant quantities to cities, universities, and power compainies through out Ohio and Kentucky. 2.0 SPECIFICATIONS AND DELIVERY SCHEDULE FOR UNIQUE SUPPLIES/ ANCILLARY SERVICES: Supplies/services to be acquired are nine unique Air Force commodity items because only the Original Equipment Manufacturer (Teledyne) manufactures Teledyne Model 560 opacity monitors and associated equipment which are compatible with existing opacity monitors at WPAFB. Teledyne opacity monitors used in each coal-fired heat plant are unique to WPAFB because WPAFB is the only air force base that uses opacity monitors to record pollution control compliance with U.S. EPA regulations. Only WPAFB requires integrated manufacture, installation, removal of nine (9) Teledyne opacity monitors, compliance certification, initial consumable materials and repair parts. The 36 month repair warranty will sustain tailored quality control over the existing WPAFB measurement process of 6 Teledyne opacity monitors configured for Facility 31240 and 4 Teledyne opacity monitors configured for Facility 20070. Further Teledyne has authorized only TEMCO to sell and install all opacity monitors that achieve herein delivery schedule. This delivery schedule identifies Not Later Than (NLT) completion of all CEVY specifications Government acceptance in terms of weeks after award date (WAAD).

The base Title V Operating Permit requires WPAFB to continuously monitor coal emission opacity from four smoke stacks at heat plants, Facilities 770 and 1240. These two coal-fired heat plant facilities provide heat to over 300 buildings in three areas of WPAFB (Area A, B, and C). Both heat plants operate continuously, 24 hours per day and 7 days each week for 9 months each year. These two facilities rely on automated opacity reading systems that use a total of ten (10) automated Teledyne Continuous Coal Emission Monitors (CEMs) to monitor coal-fire particulate emissions (air pollution) from Buildings 770 and 1240. The system in Building 770 uses four CEMs, the Building 1240 uses six CEMs. Both coal-fire heat plants use fabric filter bag-houses to reduce air pollution from WPAFB. Maintenance of all ten CEMs is performed quarterly as required by the CAAA under a separate contract. 3.1 Building 770 ? Serial number equipment items of the automated opacity reading system at Building 770 1240 (Teledyne configured infrastructure) records continuous air pollution readings by way of three boiler management monitors (Teledyne Model 550 CEMs). These three Teledyne Model 550 CEMs, are located on exhaust ducting after the cyclones but before the economizers. EPA compliance readings of the single smoke stack are recorded by way of one Teledyne Model 560 CEM. This single Teledyne Model 560 CEM is located on the exterior duct leading to the single smoke stack. 3.2 Building 1240 - Serial number equipment items of the automated opacity reading system at Building 1240 (Teledyne configured infrastructure) records continuous air pollution readings by way of three boiler management monitors (Teledyne Model 550 CEMs) and three Teledyne Model 550 CEMs used for EPA compliance readings from three smoke stacks. The boiler management monitors, three CEMs, are located on the exhaust ducting after the cyclones but before the economizers. EPA compliance CEMs are located outside on the first platform of each of three smoke stacks. 3.3 The contractor shall remove nine (9) serial numbered Teledyne Model 550 CEMs. The contractor shall manufacture and install new model Teledyne CEMs to replace all serial numbered CEMs except the existing Teledyne Model 560. 4.0 CONTRACTOR PROVIDED SUPPLIES/SERVICES: 4.1 Removal - The contractor shall furnish all labor, material and equipment necessary to remove nine (9) existing CEMs. The contractor shall leave any parts or structures that can safely be used with the new installation. 4.2 Installation ? The contractor shall furnish all labor, material and equipment necessary to install nine (9) new Teledyne Model 560 CEMs. The model should be the most current available to perform continuous opacity monitoring at stoker-coal fed boiler plants. 4.3 Certification ? The contractor shall conduct performance testing on the three CEMs installed on the smoke stacks at Bldg. 1240 as required in Title 40, Part 60, and Section 60.8 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The contractor shall submit a report ready for submission to the Environmental Protection Agency based on the results of the performance testing. Documentation of these tests shall be submitted to 88 ABW/CEVY, Attention: Air Quality Program Manager, Bldg. 89, Room 5, 5490 Pearson Road, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, OH, 45433-5332. 4.4 Normal Duty Operations.
