J -- REPAIR, OVERHAUL AND IMPROVEMENT OF HYDRAULIC POWER SYSTEM FOR HYPERBARIC OCEAN SIMULATION FACILITY SOL N61331-96-R-0015 DUE 011696 POC Phillip Morris, Contract Specialist, (904)235-5387 Carol A. Dreger, Contracting Officer, (904)234-4863. The Coastal Systems Station, Panama City, Florida has a requirement for the repair, overhaul, and specific improvements to be made in the Hydraulic Power System used to control operation of closure doors located in the hyperbaric Ocean Simulation Facility (OSF) located at the Naval Experimental Diving Unit (NEDU), Coastal Systems Station, Panama City, Florida. The existing Hydraulic Power System is part of the control system that is considered ''critical life support equipment'' in the operation of the manned hyperbaric OSF. This hydraulic system is more that 20 years old and must be overhauled with improvements made that will enhance operation and maintenance of this part of the life support equipment. This work will consist of an improved design of the hydraulic Control Panel console, overhauling that part of the hydraulic system that operates the Wet Chamber Closure (door) on the OSF, and the removal of all existing pipe-threaded components in the hydraulic piping network of the power System and replacing them with new all welded joint, or O-ring type joint components. In order to provide detailed proposal for performing the tasks outlined in the SOW, all prospective contractors will be provided access to the OSF to inspect existing conditions in relation to the required work tasks prior to submitting their bids. All proposals submitted will be accepted based on the contractors' affidavit that an on-site inspection has been made, and that the proposal addresses all requirements stated in the SOW. Any conflicts between requirements of the SOW and the existing conditions as found by any prospective contractor's on-site inspection will be reconciled with all bidders prior to submission of final bid proposals. Fax or written requests only will be accepted. The fax number for requests is (904) 234-4251. (0333)
