- Description
- NASA/KSC is hereby soliciting information about potential sources for Meters, Partsand Services for the Gaseous Nitrogen Pipeline system at KSC. ******No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of thesolicitation************ NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) is hereby soliciting information for potential sourcesfor 1) the KSC Gaseous Pipeline System Multiple Meter Upgrades and 2) a rechargerconnection station at the GN2 contractors production plant, located outside KSC. Thepurpose of this requirement is to provide NASA KSC with potential, interested,competitive sources for the contractors use in providing these contracted services toKSC. The current contractor has expressed difficulty in locating sources of parts,supplies and spares as they apply to the KSC pipeline, and difficulty in locating sourcesor competitive rates for needed services and repairs. The contractor has been requestedto provide and install upgraded (digital) flow measurement/instrumentation units atseveral meter stations on KSC as follows: Replace the existing Elliot flow computer withan Emerson Remote Operations Controller, #809 Ref:http://www.emersonprocess.com/flow/Emerson/products/roc800-series.html. Replace theexisting Ratelco 24V power supply with a SolarCraft 24V power supply Ref:http://www.solarcraft.net/power-components/dc-ups.htm. Replace existing pressuretransmitters with HART-communication 24v Honeywell pressure transitters. Only at onesite, replace the existing GHe flow measurement device with additional valve-positioncontrollers/indicators and similar devices to include Remote Operability to the SR3 ValveStation. Further, the contractor has been requested to provide a recharger connection(pumping) station at the contractors plant, for connection to Government OwnedRechargers, as follows: Contractor design and build a nitrogen recharger pumping stationwhich will enable continued GN2 supply into the pipeline when the plants normal systemsare unavailable, such as during a power outage. The Government will supply one or tworechargers which will be resupplied in-place from the Contractors onsite LN2 storagetank. Government personnel will operate the recharger and deliver its output GN2 intothe pipeline upstream of the plant meter station. Recharger physical data: Flow Capacity,SCFM 9000 @ 6000 psig; Flow Range, SCFM 350 9000; Minimum / Maximum GN2 Outlet Pressure4500 psig / 8000 psig; Liquid Tank Cap., Gallons 3000; Diesel Fired Vaporizer Yes;Overall Veh., L x W x H 36 x 8 x 11 4; LN2 Supply Size/Type/Location/Op Press 3Futurecraft/Curbside-middle/50-psig; Gas Outlet Size/Type/ Location 1-1/2 WECO; Aminco/ Rear bumperVendors having the capabilities necessary to meet or exceed the stated requirements areinvited to submit appropriate documentation, literature, brochures, and references.Firmshaving the required specialized capabilities in part or in all of the above requirementsshould submit a capability statement of a single page documenting their ability and pastexperience in performing similar efforts as described above.
