- Description
- This is a modification to the synopsis entitled "44 - FABRICATION INSPECTIONTESTING AND DELIVERY OF CHEMICAL STEAM GENERATORS FOR A3 ALTITUDE TEST STAND" which wasposted on 2/26/08. There has been an update to the requirement as well as newinformation regarding issuance of the solicitation. Therefore, offerors are notifiedthat the following changes are made: The requirement is modified to include thestructural skid on which the Chemical Steam Generators are mounted, piping and componentssuch as valves and instrumentation, and control system hardware. Due to the nature of thechanges being made and the length of time since this requirement was first advertised,the initial description is replaced in its entirety with the following:---------------------------------------------------The NASA/SSC Acquisition Management Office intends to issue a Best Value Request forProposal (RFP) for the project entitled Fabrication, inspection, testing, and deliveryof Chemical Steam Generators for A-3 Altitude Test Stand to be delivered to the John C.Stennis Space Center, Mississippi. The work to be performed under this requirementconsists of providing all labor, equipment, and materials necessary for the fabrication,inspection, and testing of Chemical Steam Generators, the structural skid on which theChemical Steam Generators are mounted, piping and components such as valves andinstrumentation, as well as control system hardware as stated in the referencedspecification with delivery to Stennis Space Center Building 2204. Twenty-seven (27)Chemical Steam Generators will be fabricated by the contractor awarded. Nine structuralskids will be fabricated with three Chemical Steam Generators mounted into each skid.Piping and component shall include all inlet and interconnecting propellant lines as wellas the steam outlet pipe.The CSGs required are a design that was produced for White Sands Test Facility in the1960s that is a proven design. The most similar component to these CSGs is a smallregeneratively cooled rocket combustion chamber or gas generator. The concept isbasically a small combustion chamber similar to a rocket engine combustion chamber thatburns isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and oxygen with a water diluent to produce the steam. Thisproject will require detailed machining, pipe modification and welding, plate steelforming and welding, detailed welding including some thin wall sheet metal welding. Cleaning for high pressure oxygen service will be required. The CSGs will be built perASME Code requirements but will not require a code stamp. Testing will includeinspections and proof testing as required but will not include a functional test or hotfire. The CSGs and all associated piping and components shall comply with codesreferenced in the RFP and shall be fabricated, cleaned, and tested per the requirementsin the subject specifications available on CDROM only as noted below.FOB is destination.
