- Description
- THIS IS A MARKET RESEARCH/SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE SEEKING INFORMATION ONLY. THE GOVERNMENT IS LOOKING FOR BUSINESS SOURCES THAT CAN OR COULD PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING: Manufacture of reclaim (closed loop) vehicle wash system. Information will be used to determine the acquisition strategy for the installation of reclaim vehicle wash systems at various Marine Corps Reserve Centers throughout the United States. The requirements of the reclaim system are as follows: 1. The system (excluding portable wash pads) shall fit in a 40 foot long shipping container in order to allow for the movement of the system to different sites. System includes all components (ex. oil water separator, filters, pumps, pressure washers, storage tanks, controllers, air compressors (if needed for control)) needed to treat, store, and dispense all wash effluent. 2. Wash effluent shall be processed through the reclaim system at a minimum of 70 gpm in a single pass system. Wash effluent shall be recycled without the use of blending treated effluent with city water supplies. Discharging untreated wash effluent to sanitary or storm drains is prohibited. Makeup water shall only be introduced to the system when the system is low on water from evaporation or drive off, otherwise, all wash effluent must be collected properly and reused to avoid contamination to the environment. 3. Utilizing a single pass system, wash effluent must first have its hydrocarbon content reduced to a maximum of 5mg/L by passing it through an oil water separator. Thereafter, the reclaim system shall be capable of treating the wash effluent to meet the following standards: effluent must be colorless and odorless with TSS (total suspended solids) less than 30 mg/L, BOD (biochemical or biological oxygen demand) less than 20 mg/L, and COD (chemical oxygen demand) less than 50mg/L. The system must be capable of removing heavy metals and other organic and inorganic contaminates allowing excess process water or rainwater to be discharged to local sewer systems or storm water as directed by local regulations. 4. The oil water separator shall use a permanent coalescing media (no skimming systems in tanks or disposable absorbents). 5. System shall utilize four (4) hot water pressure washing systems (minimum 4.5 gpm at minimum 2500 psi with max 180F water). 6. System shall utilize two (2) low pressure, high flow heavy solids removal systems (25 gpm minimum and 150 psi minimum operating pressure). 7. The container shall be maintained at 105oF maximum in the summer and 40oF minimum in the winter regardless of location. 8. All electrical systems must meet wet location electrical NEC ratings. 9. Reclaim system shall have a telemetry/control system meeting the following minimum requirements: A.Programs, Passwords and Machine Code: All machine codes associated with PLC programs in the control system, PLC passwords, and user interface associated programs become property of the Marine Corps Reserve after a system is purchased and installed. B.Communications: The system must be capable of being remotely accessed via the Internet by means of GPRS cellular modem, dedicated landline, or Ethernet connection with dedicated static IP address outside of the NMCI system. The telemetry system must also be able to deliver information to end users via the same modes of communication as remote access. C.Communications Security: The telemetry system must have adequate security to limit the threat of unauthorized users from accessing the system. At a minimum each system must have a unique identification number, user name and password, and at least two levels of access: full access and read only access. D.Communication Access: End users of the system must have the ability to access the system remotely via communications methods detailed above. The user must be able to remotely access and retrieve reporting data and all input and output status, operate system outputs, calibrate appropriate systems, add or delete system parameters, view communication settings, add or remove authorized users and alert email recipients, change system user names and passwords, remotely disable or enable the entire reclaim system, view real time system status, view graphing and trending reports, and export such reports to the remote users computer. E.Analog System Input Capabilities: At a minimum, the system must be able to monitor in real time the following input parameters: air temperature (inside, outside, and transfer line temperatures), system air pressures (if air is used for control), incoming water pressures, effluent pH and temperatures; effluent total dissolved solids (TDS), real time flow and flow totals, and media vessel pressures. F.Digital System Input Capabilities: At a minimum, the system must be able to monitor in real time the following input parameters: equipment on/off, high/low critical fluid tank levels, pit levels, chemical levels, oil water separator oil level, emergency stop position and consumable media levels. G.System Reporting: The system must be capable of creating alarms for any system analog or digital input and must be capable of delivering such alarms via email to the end users within no more than 5 minutes of any such alarm. The system must be capable of sending daily, weekly or monthly system status reports via email, along with minimum monthly data log reports in Excel format. Each report must have the ability to contain all analog input devices connected to the system. Please note that this is a REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY. This is NOT a request for proposal and there is no solicitation package available at this time. Participation does not imply any obligation by the United States Government or any agency thereof. Proprietary information will be protected to the greatest extent provided by law. THE GOVERNMENT WILL NOT PAY FOR ANY INFORMATION RECEIVED IN RESPONSE TO THIS REQUEST, NOR WILL WE COMPENSATE ANY RESPONDENT FOR ANY COSTS INCURRED IN DEVELOPING THE INFORMATION PROVIDED. WE WILL ALSO NOT PAY FOR ANY DEMONSTRATION NOR COMPENSATE ANY RESPONDENT FOR ANY COSTS INCURRED WITH DEVELOPMENT OR PERFORMANCE OF A DEMONSTRATION THAT MAY BE REQUESTED. Interested organizations/companies/institutions are encouraged to respond to this notice by providing information indicating it can fulfill this requirement by 4PM Eastern Standard Time, Friday, January 30, 2009. Questions and/or comments will be accepted through 4PM Eastern Standard Time, Friday, January 23, 2009; however, they must be in writing. They will be accepted via email by Walter Gordon, Jr. at Walter.L.Gordon@usace.army.mil. Questions and comments will not be accepted over the phone.
