- Description
- The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) is a project underway in Cadarache, France to construct a device that will demonstrate nuclear fusion power at a powerplant-relevant scale (http://www.iter.org/). Work scope associated with the electric supply and distribution system materials and supplies is assigned to the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), a national laboratory operated for the United States Department of Energy (DOE) by Princeton University under Contract No. DE-AC02-09CH11466, and PPPL is responsible for the work described in a Statement of Work (SOW) that will be published as part of the above-referenced RFP 11-032-G. The RFP SOW will cover engineering support services related to the specification, procurement, and manufacturing of the AC power distribution equipment to be provided by an Engineering Support Subcontractor (ESS). The ESS shall produce purchasing specifications suitable for the procurement of equipment that will consist of a subset of the High Voltage (HV) substation transformers, HV switchgear, Medium Voltage (MV) transformers, MV switchgear, and Low Voltage (LV) distribution equipment required by the ITER facility. The format/template of the specifications shall be determined by the ESS consistent with standard practice as applicable to each type of equipment. The ESS shall develop, in consultation with PPPL, a list of manufacturers from which bids will be sought. The PPPL Procurement Division will issue solicitations, lead the evaluation of offers, negotiate with selected suppliers, and place and administer all contracts for the purchase of the subject equipment. The ESS shall interface directly with each manufacturer to coordinate activities and to provide on-site Quality Control (QC) services. PPPL shall be informed of activities and shall have final approval authority with benefit of recommendations of the ESS. The ESS shall develop and maintain an overall schedule for the design and production of the equipment including major milestones. The ESS shall maintain an effective Quality Assurance Program with implementing procedures to assure compliance with this SOW. It is the intent of PPPL to distribute a Request for Proposals (RFP) to perform the work objectives described in the SOW. The subcontract period of performance will be approximately three years (July 2011 through December 2013). This announcement is not a solicitation and does not obligate PPPL to issue a solicitation. Interested parties who feel that they possess the capabilities to provide the services described above should submit a statement demonstrating their capabilities to perform this work. Information submitted should describe your organization, personnel, facilities, applicable subcontractor network and past experience to meet specific needs stated above. Include company name, address, telephone number, technical point of contact, item nomenclature, item description, and brochure/literature. Please send your documentation to Natalya Gnyp at the office identified above, by fax to (609) 243-2021 or by email to ngnyp@pppl.gov. Electronic submittals are preferred. To be considered by PPPL, documentation should be received within ten (10) working days after the date of publication of this synopsis. Please be advised that PPPL will not pay for any information submitted in response to this announcement.
