Description

. 8 This is a Sources Sought Notice. (a) The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this Sources Sought or to otherwise pay for the information solicited. (b) Although "proposal," "offeror," contractor, and "offeror" may be used in this sources sought notice, any response will be treated as information only. It shall not be used as a proposal. (c) Any information received from a contractor in response to this Sources Sought may be used in creating a solicitation. Any information received which is marked with a statement, such as "proprietary" or "confidential," intended to restrict distribution will not be distributed outside of the Government, except as required by law. (d) This Sources Sought is issued by VISN 2 Contracting Office in Canandaigua, NY for the purpose of a one-time maintenance service of the Automatic Transfer Switches  at the Albany-Stratton VA Medical Center, located at, 113 Holland Ave, Albany, NY 13210, in accordance with OEM specifications and NFPA 8.3.5. The North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) code for this requirement is 541330 (Engineering Services) with a Small Business size standard of $15 million. The requirement is detailed in the Statement of Work section of this document. (e) Cursory market research has identified several small businesses that may be able to provide for this requirement. Contractors that are able to meet the requirements in the attachment are encouraged to email a capability statement and full information to Juan Cobas by August, 22, 2017, 1400 hrs. EST. at Juan.Cobas@va.gov. - Part of the purpose of this sources sought is to determine the viability of set aside to a specific socio-economic category. Contractors shall identify the NAICS code for the services being offered as well as their size status under said NAICS. This information will be used to determine the viability of a set aside for this requirement. - Contractors shall also identify any Federal Supply Schedules that may carry the desired services. - Contractors shall identify pertinent point of contact for company, contractor DUNS number for size standard and socioeconomic verification in SAM and VIP. - Contractors shall include any relevant comments about the Attachment(s) if applicable. General Scope of Work: Stratton VA Medical Center in Albany, New York is requesting quotes for a certified manufacturer s representative to perform maintenance on the Automatic Transfer Switches in the Medical Center. Switches are of various sizes and in various locations for emergency power distribution. NFPA 8.3.5 Maintenance should be performed according to manufacturer s recommendations. In the absence of such recommendations, the list given in 8.3.5 suggests minimal procedures. Transfer switches should be subjected to an annual maintenance program including: One major maintenance Programs should include all of the following operations where applicable: Note: Due to the critical nature of these devices, permission should be gained to perform these tasks since some of the following recommendations could cause disruption of power to the load. The following tasks should be carefully reviewed with facility management personnel to ensure agreement and plan for contingencies. Major Maintenance: Check connections. A thermographic or temperature scan should be done prior to this visit, while the ATS is under normal (peak) load. This thermographic scan should be repeated during the EPSS load test. Results should be available to the maintenance provider so that suspect conditions can be addressed during this activity. With power connected to the normal source, measure and record millivolt drop levels across each pole. Note: Any reading that is greater than 25 percent of the average of all poles should be carefully inspected when the ATS is de-energized. With power connected to the emergency source, measure and record millivolt drop levels across each pole. Note: Any reading that is greater than 25 percent of the average of all poles should be carefully inspected when the ATS is de-energized. If the ATS is equipped with a bypass isolation feature, operate the bypass to the connected source (emergency or normal) and repeat the steps in (a), (b), and (c). Levels should drop to approximately 50 percent of initial levels and be uniform relative to initial readings. This step verifies that the bypass feature is properly connected and that the connected load will not be affected when the automatic portion is isolated for maintenance. With power secured and both the emergency and normal sources properly locked out and tagged out, measure the micro-ohm resistance levels across the following connection points: i. Emergency source cabling lug to bus ii. Normal source cabling lug to bus iii. Load cabling lug to bus iv. Neutral cabling lug to bus v. Load connected to normal across each pole vi. Load connected to emergency across each pole Note: If the ATS is equipped with an isolation bypass and the bypass remains energized, perform these tests on the isolated transfer switch unit only. DO NOT APPLY DIGITAL LOW RESISTANCE OHMMETER (DLRO) TO ENERGIZED CIRCUITS. Any value greater than 20 percent of the average value of all similar type connections requires further investigation. Inspect or test for evidence of overheating or excessive contact corrosion. With power from both sources secured and properly locked out and tagged out, remove all protective pole covers and arc chutes. Carefully inspect main contacts and other current carrying parts for signs of corrosion or overheating. Note: Observation should correlate with previous results (i.e., thermographic or temperature evidence of higher than normal temperatures or heat migration, abnormal millivolt drop readings as previously noted, or abnormal micro-ohm (DLRO) readings as previously noted). Carefully inspect insulating materials or standoff insulators for signs of contamination (dirt, grime, oil, etc.). The combination of contaminants and possible introduction of high humidity or moisture could lead to insulation breakdown and subsequent destructive faults. Clean contaminated surfaces with a solvent approved for this purpose. Inspect control connection, plugs, and harnesses for signs of corrosion, heat, contamination, and so forth. Using a vacuum, remove all dust and debris from the ATS cabinet, transfer switch mechanism, bus, and so forth. Note: Never use compressed air to blow outdust. Doing so can blow dust and debris into controls and the transfer switch mechanism. Inspect cabinets for proper sealing. Open conduit knockouts or other penetrations should be properly sealed to prevent the introduction of dust, moisture, or other alien matter. Enclosures installed outside should be inspected for proper seal and appropriate gasketing. Ensure that enclosure door securing devices are intact and properly secured. Replace and secure all protective pole covers and chutes. Remove lockout devices and resupply normal power. If the ATS is of the bypass isolation type, reconnect the transfer switch mechanism. Observe proper manufacturer s procedures. Verify control and feature set points and operation. Measure and record the following data and set points: Normal source voltage phase to phase, phase to ground, and phase to neutral Engine start time (from crank start to source available light or relay pickup) Emergency source voltage phase to phase, phase to ground, and phase to neutral Load current each phase Momentary override normal deviation where provided Transfer time delay where provided Return to normal source time delay where provided Engine cooldown where provided List of Switches # ATS Designation Feeds Make / Size Location Notes 1 Fire Pump Fire Pump Master Control Systems SW30 Fire Pump 2 DA-50 EMP-S1&S2 ASCO - 800amp S15 E.D. 2B/6B Labs, Elevators, Med.
