A -- ENGINEERING SUPPORT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF HYDRAULIC COMPENTS FOR EXPERIMENTAL VEHICLES SOL C500066T1 POC Contact Point, Raoul D. Scott, (513)366-2071, Contracting Officer, Raoul D. Scott, (513)366-2071 The Environmental Protection Agency has a need for a contractor to provide the Office of Air and Radiation, National Vehicle Fuels Emission Laboratory, Regulatory Programs and Technology Division, with specialized engineering support for the development, design, modification, fabrication, test, and installation of hydraulic subsystems for experimental drivetrains for use in passenger vehicles. Subsystems covered by any resultant contract shall include hydraulic pumps, hydraulic motors, control valves, hydraulic accumulators, hydraulic transmissions, and actuators. These subsystems may be designed and developed either independently or as integrated units. The contractor shall provide all the equipment, personnel, and facilities to design, develop, modify, fabricate, procure (as authorized and approved by written work assignments), calibrate, and perform engineering tasks on the requisite hydraulic components. Work shall include related actuators and sensors needed to support the given task. Specific directions regarding types of hydraulic pumps, hydraulic motors, control valves, hydraulic accumulators, hydraulic transmissions, actuators or other subsystems, and reporting requirements will be defined and provided in each work assignment. Work involving other facets of hybrid vehicle systems will be based on the needs of EPA and the capabilities of the successful offeror. The Government anticipates the award of a cost-plus-fixed-fee work assignment type contract with a twelve-month base term and two (2) twelve-month options to extend the term. The base level of effort for each term will consist of 10,000 direct labor hours. In addition, options will be included to increase the level of effort by up to 5,000 direct labor hours during each term. Request for the solicitation must be in writing to Raoul D. Scott as specified above. Request may be faxed to Mr. Scott at 513-366-2004. This procurement will be processed under FAR Part 15, using full and open competition. (0032)
