- Description
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District (USACE LRN) will be issuing a task order against Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC) W912P521D0002 which was awarded to replace exciter equipment for all of USACE LRN's area of responsibility. The task order will be for Old Hickory Power Plant located in Hendersonville, Tennessee. This includes removing four (4) existing excitation systems and installing four (4) 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 is included in the 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. For the purposes described herein, USACE LRN intends to issue a task order that will include the brand name or equal items listed below: Item���� ������������ ����������������������������������������������������������������������������������Manufacturer Terminal Blocks������������� ��������������������������������������������������������� ������������� States Field Ground Module���� ��������������������������������������������������������� ������������� SEL-2264 This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive proposals.
