The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District (USACE LRN) will be soliciting proposals for a Single Award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity construction contract to replace exciter equipment for all of USACE LRN's area of responsibility. The prototype project and planned first task order will be for Cordell Hull Power Plant located in Carthage, Tennessee. This includes removing three (3) existing excitation systems and installing three (3) new complete digital static excitation systems. The requirement also includes minor floor repair; and furnishing and installing wire, cable, bus, conduit, meters, switches, and all other required appurtenances. It is industry standard practice, while designing intricate mechanical and electrical systems, to base design around products that meet the needs of the project based on the standard of quality required and the make and model used as basis of design. As all the components of a system must work together and function as a system, the basis of design of each individual component may change based on substitution. The standard of quality must remain the same as the USACE design. In addition to a functional system, the products used as the basis of design for the subject project also fit within a specific footprint and are compatible with existing equipment systems in the power plant without major modification. Competition is only limited to the extent necessary to meet the Government's legitimate needs of this project. Contractors are free to use any product which meets the Government's minimum needs. Other manufacturers may be substituted as long as the standard of quality and characteristics of the substituted manufacturer meet or exceed the standard of quality and characteristics of the basis of design. Reference clause Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.236-5, Material and Workmanship. The Materials and Workmanship clause will be included in the anticipated solicitation and resulting contract. This clause states that: "References in the drawings and specifications to equipment, material, articles, or patented processes by trade name, make, or catalog number, shall be regarded as establishing a standard of quality and shall not be construed as limiting competition." The Contractor may, at its option, use any equipment, material, article, or process that, in the judgment of the Contracting Officer, is determined to be equal through formal evaluation comparison against the specified salient characteristics as provided by the written specifications for each piece of equipment, material, article or process.
