- Description
- The Government intends to procure, under only one responsible source, where no other suppliers or service will satisfy the agency requirements. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Pacific is seeking alternate products/sources comparable to the electric valve actuators, manufactured by EIM Controls, Inc., 13840 Pike Road, Missouri City, Texas 77489. The alternate product/source must meet the following requirements/specifications: 1. The electric valve actuator shall include as an integral unit the electric motor, actuator unit gearing, limit switch gearing, position limit switches, torque switches, drive bushing or stem nut, declutch lever, wiring terminals for power, remote control, indication connections and handwheel. The electrically actuated valve shall be set to open and close completely in 30 to 60 seconds against a differential pressure of 1896 kPa. The actuator settings of torque and limit contacts shall be adjustable. The valve actuator shall be suitable for mounting in a vertical or horizontal position and be rated for 30 starts per hour. The valve actuator shall be capable of functioning in an ambient environment temperature ranging from 0 to 37 degrees C. 2. The electrical enclosure shall be specifically approved by UL or Factory Mutual for installation in Class I, Division 1, Group D locations. 3. The electric motor shall be specifically designed for valve actuator service and shall be totally enclosed, non-ventilated construction. The motor shall be capable of complete operation at plus or minus 10% of specified voltage. Motor insulation shall be a minimum NEMA Class F. The motor shall be a removable subassembly to allow for motor or gear ratio changes as dictated by system operational requirements. The motor shall be equipped with an embedded thermostat to protect against motor overload and also be equipped with space heaters. It shall de-energize when encountering a jammed valve. 4. The reversing starter, control transformer and local controls shall be integral with the valve actuator and suitably housed to prevent breathing or condensation buildup. The electromechanical starter shall be suitable for 30 starts per hour. The windings shall have short circuit and overload protection. A transformer if needed shall be provided to supply all internal circuits with 24 VDC or 110 VAC may be used for remote controls. 5. The actuator gearing shall be totally enclosed in an oil-filled or grease-filled gearcase. Standard gear oil or grease shall be used to lubricate the gearcase. 6. The actuator shall integrally contain local controls for Open, Close and Stop and a local/remote three position selector switch: Local Control Only, Off, and Remote Control plus Local Stop Only. A metallic handwheel shall be provided for emergency operation. The handwheel drive must be mechanically independent of the motor drive. The remote control capability shall be to open and close. Rim pull to operate valve manually shall not exceed 356 N. 7. Position limit switches shall be functional regardless of main power failure or manual operation. Four contacts shall be provided with each selectable as normally open or normally closed. The contacts shall be rated at 5A, 120 VAC, 30 VDC. 8. Each valve actuator shall be connected to a PLC supplied by "others". 9. The actuator shall have a local display of position even when power has been lost. 10. The actuator shall be supplied with a start-up kit comprising installation instruction, electrical wiring diagram and spare cover screws and seals. 11. The actuator must be performance tested and a test certificate shall be supplied at no extra charge. The test should simulate a typical valve load with current, voltage, and speed measured. It should not be construed as a commitment of any kind by the U.S. Government to issue a solicitation. Interested parties meeting the requirements described in this announcement are invited to submit complete information and specifications. Any information provided to the Government in response to this RFI will become U.S. Government property and will not be returned. All proprietary or classified information will be treated appropriately. Interested parties shall submit information and specifications to Ms. Carol Tanaka via email at carol.tanaka@navy.mil. Interested parties responding to this announcement by Tuesday, November 25, 2008 at 4:00 p.m. H.S.T. will be considered.
