- Description
- This is a Sources Sought synopsis for market research purposes. No formal solicitation for this work exists at this time. All qualified concerns may submit capability statements for consideration. Capability statements received will be reviewed to determine the availability of contractors with the technical level of expertise, administrative and management capability to perform the effort described below. This capability statement will be used to determine the overall procurement strategy. Naval Facilities (NAVFAC) Sealift Support Program Office (SSPO) has a potential requirement for the overhaul and refurbishment of Side Connector, Remote Hydraulic Carts and 8ft X 8ft X 20ft ISO 668 containers. The overhaul and refurbishment will take place at the contractor's facility. The Improved Navy Lighterage System (INLS) Side Connector System consists of two major assemblies: The INLS Side Connector (SC) and the Remote Hydraulic Cart. The main purpose of the SC is to provide a means of connecting the INLS Combination Modules (CMs) side-by-side to form a rigid connection. The connectors mate with female pockets located on the side of each CM when engaged. The connectors are designed to be capable of operation through Sea State 2 and survive in Sea State 4. The SC is a two-trapezoidal box structure which houses eight bullets at top and bottom for connection. These eight bullets work in pairs and are moved inward or outward by hydraulic cylinders with controls at the top of the connector. Each bullet engages with a female socket that conforms to the shape of the bullet. Female sockets are installed on the CMs. The objective is to use four side connectors to hold two CMs together side-to-side. For each connector, all eight bullets engage the female sockets forming a rigid joint. The hydraulic power is supplied via flexible quick disconnect hoses that connect to the top of each SC. The Remote Hydraulic Cart provides the means to hydraulically power and electrically monitor the connector operation. The Remote Hydraulic Cart receives 3000 psi hydraulic pressure from a separate hydraulic power unit to a hose connection into the back of the Remote Hydraulic Cart. Electrical power (24 VDC) is provided via a generator located in the crew shelter and cabling into the back of the Remote Hydraulic Cart. The wheeled Remote Hydraulic Cart houses a mobile multifaster, remote control station, electrical interface box, manifold assembly, gage panel and floodlight. The mobile multifaster is designed to mate with the hydraulic and electrical connections on the connector's fixed multifaster. The remote control station contains the operator controls and indicators for operation of the connector. The remote control station is operated via a hand held tethered remote. The manifold has five solenoid operated valves (one for circulation of fluid and four for supply/return to the connector cylinders). The gauge panel is provided with four pressure gauges, one for each of the side connector lines. The electrical interface box is mounted on the rear side of the Remote Hydraulic Cart. The box provides connections for the incoming hydraulic and electrical power. Also contained in the box is a programmable relay module that receives inputs from the side connector cylinder sensors and the remote control station, and provides outputs to the solenoid valves and the remote control station status indicators. The electrical interface box also contains a proportional valve controller module that receives inputs from the remote control station operator control, and outputs to the hydraulic proportional valve that is located with the Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU). The SCs and Remote Hydraulic Cart are shipped and stored in 20-foot long ISO containers. The containers contain pallets, strapping material and safety chains required to keep the SCs secure while in transit. The ISO containers can be shipped via commercial means. Principle features of the work will include the following: Side Connectors: - Unload eight SCs each weighing 4760 lbs out of the ISO containers.- Electrically, hydraulically, mechanically test SCs.- Repair/Replace items as necessary on SCs.- Brush blast entire assembly then repaint.- Create label plates out of Stainless Steel and affix to SCs.-Update 20 SCs by putting 8 bullets per SC on lathe to meet dimensional requirement. ISO Containers: - ISO containers shall be inspected for conformance to ABS rules of certification for cargo containers.- Examine for any missing lashing hardware in the ISO Containers.- Examine for rust/holes in ISO Containers.- Repair and Repaint ISO containers as necessary. Remote Hydraulic Carts: - Electrically, hydraulically, mechanically test remote hydraulic carts.- Repair/Replace items as necessary remote hydraulic carts.- Repaint remote hydraulic carts as necessary. This contract will also require the contractor establish storage space for depot level material, 20 Connectors two remote hydraulic carts in three ISO containers at their facility during the length of the contract. Materials will supplied to the navy, as needed, and replaced by the contractor.
