- Description
- The USGS Western Fisheries Research Center, (WFRC) Seattle, WA is seeking a vendor to install two Freon leak detector sensors in the USGS cooler room and install a cooling tower treatment system to match an existing USGS owned tower. During a 2008 Condition Assessment site visit at the WFRC it was noted that the chiller room emergency ventilation system lacks automatic controls. In addition, an existing cooling tower chemical treatment system is inoperable. This treatment is critical to prevent scaling, corrosion, bacterial growths, and sludge from accumulating internally within the two Evapco cooling towers. The USGS operates two new Evapco cooling towers which were installed in 2008 and 2010. The Pulse Pure chemical-free cooling tower treatment system is a product of Evapco and is guaranteed to keep their cooling towers free of scaling, corrosion, bacterial growth, and sludge accumulation. This is a brand name specific requirement. Failures attributed to scaling and corrosion can be catastrophic, leading to costly downtime for repairs and equipment replacement, personal discomfort, and pose a direct threat to the mission essential aquatic experimentation at the WFRC. This project will provide the necessary personnel, equipment, and materials required to install one (1) chiller room Freon refrigerant detection system which includes; one (1) monitor module unit and two (2) local sensors in the chiller room at the WFRC. This project will also provide the necessary personnel, equipment, and materials required to install two (2) 4 Pulse~Pure chemical free water treatment units to service both Evapco cooling towers at the WFRC. This is a brand name specific requirement. The contractor will provide all equipment and man power necessary to install the Freon detection system and to replace the cooling tower water treatment system. Due to the highly critical nature of the cooling towers and the systems they support, the contractor must ensure any downtime of the cooling towers is preapproved by the USGS and must be kept to a minimum. The following replacement shall include the following: 1.Project administration and safety2.Provide a project timeline and work schedule 3.Provide and install one (1) Freon leak detection module4.Provide and install two (2) Freon leak detection sensors in the chiller room5.Ensure operation of the two sensors are fully integrated and operational with the detection module6.Provide and install two (2) 4 Pulse~Pure chemical free water treatment units which will replace an existing chemical treatment system located in room W-201 in the Wet Laboratory7.Start-up and system verification8.Provide a one year service agreement with purchase of water treatment system which shall include;a.Total of twelve (12) site visits conducted monthly to clean, test, and calibrate equipmentb.Verify proper operationc.Verify blow down controller conductivity sensor calibration. Clean and recalibrate as necessaryd.Manage water quality in both cooling towers. Field test pH and conductivity of watere.Take field biological dip-slide test as neededf.Inspect general condition of interior and exterior protective finishes and metal surfaces of both towersg.Clean fan screensh.Inspect condenser, make-up water, and conductivity sensors for proper operation9.Any and all original hardware and equipment which will be replaced are the property of the USGS and shall be returned to the WFRC in its existing conditionDeliverables A completed project will install a chiller leak monitoring, testing, and emergency ventilation system to the chiller room and a new chemical free water treatment system for both cooling towers. Point of Contact: Stewart Evans, Contract Specialist, (916) 278-9334, Fax (916) 278-9339. Email sevans@usgs.gov. Performance Location: Seattle, WA Anticipated award date is NLT 15 February 2012. Estimated period of performance: 90 Days from Award NAICS Code, 238220: Estimated project size between $25,000.00 and$100,000.00.
