This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION (FAR) Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; bids are being requested with literature to be included on the product and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is 09SQ170641 and is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). This RFQ document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-27. This acquisition is open for Full and Open competition. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 333911, and the size standard is 500 employees. Quotes are due on December 01, 2008, 4:00 PM, PST at the address above. The offeror must electronically complete annual representations and certifications via the ORCA website at http://orca.bpn.gov prior to award. The Government anticipates an award of a firm-fixed price purchase order resulting from this RFQ on or about December 03, 2008. To take advantage of business opportunities with Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) and Department of the Interior (DOI) you must register your firm with Central Contractor Registration (CCR) at www.ccr.gov. This equipment will be purchased in accordance with FAR Part 13, Subpart 13.5-"Test Program for Certain Commercial Items." Simplified Acquisitions Procedures apply. CLIN 0001: The Bureau of Reclamation has a requirement for a ONE STAGE VERTICAL TURBINE PUMP ASSEMBLY - The replacement pump part must have a nominal rating of 5000 GPM at 80 feet total discharge head. The water temperature is between 35 degrees F to 70 degrees F. The installation site is approximately 900 feet ASL. The available net positive suction head (NPSH) at the pump base is approximately 29 feet. The replacement pump must bolt into the existing discharge column. Figure 1 (drawing 222-D-04061) shows the existing pump installation details and dimensions. The existing pump is a "Layne and Bowler" brand, two-stage bowl assembly. It has an outer (discharge) pipe, and an inner oil tube, which surrounds and provides support for the drive shaft. An oil drip system provides lubrication through the inner tube for the line shaft bearings and the upper pump bearing. There is a discharge fitting at 30 feet, in this case at the fourth joint. The required base (suction) flange is an 18-inch IPS 150-lb flange. The existing pump is 63-3/4 inches long, from the suction base (flange) to the outlet connection. The outlet connection is a 16-inch IPS threaded female fitting. A short piece of pipe screws into the pump discharge fitting and connects to a flange in the discharge column. The Government will obtain an appropriate length of pipe to adapt to the existing discharge column, longer or shorter as needed. However, the maximum allowable replacement pump length is 74-3/4 inches, based on the available length to the lowest discharge column flange. Unlike some vertical turbine pump installations, this pump is not immersed in the sump. Instead, it is attached to the sump by piping. As such, the replacement pump must be able to prime itself through the suction (inlet) piping. Any proposed pump type that has priming holes in the discharge line will not be considered. The overall pump setting measured from the bottom of the sole plate to the bottom of the pump suction bell should be approximately 62 feet. To receive consideration, all proposals must include: The proposed pump manufacturer and model number.A complete set of pump performance curves, showing:Total head (in feet) as a function of capacity (in GPM), andNPSH required (in feet) as a function of capacity (GPM), andBrake HP required as a function of capacity (GPM), and Pump efficiency gradient lines near the proposed design point.Vibration limitations per Hydraulic Institute Standards.A detailed list of materials, consisting of (but not limited to):Piping and flanges required for connecting the pump to the existing system (drawings with dimensions)All required pump main shaft couplings, adapters, and extensions (drawings with dimensions)All required pump oil tube couplings, adapters and extensions.Bolts, nuts and gaskets required for installing the pump. An outline drawing of the pump with key dimensions.
