J -- MAIN OF SWITCHGEAR SOL F33601-96-R-0076 DUE 020696 POC For copy, ASC/PKWO, Attn: Bldg 260, 1940 Allbrook Dr, Ste 3, WPAFB OH 45433-5309 POC: M Brant/PKWOV/513-257-5844 Fax NO 513-257-3926. To provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and services necessary to provide operations and maintenance (O&M) services for high voltage electrical equipment in support of the in-house Research and Development (R&D) mission programs for the Wright Laboratory Aero Propulsion and Power Directorate (APPD). APPD consists of 500 plus personnel distributed over 24 buildings on a 42 acre site. This effort would be to ensure uninterrupted availability of vital support equipment which enables orderly conduct of APPD R&D. LABOR CATEGORIES: It is estimated that various experience levels of the following labor categories will be utilized: Electrical Engineer, Electrical Journeyman, Electrical Helper, Electrical Foreman, Electrical Apprentice, Documentation Clerk. SERVICES REQUIRED: These O&M services encompass but are not limited to inspection, repair, adjustment, calibration, modification, maintenance and operation of electrical supply and distribution systems and facilities within the APPD, and specific high/medium voltage electrical equipment supplying the APPD from a nearby electrical power substation. A. Perform planned/preventative maintenance (PM) on transformers, breakers, switchgear (various types), motor control equipment, high voltage rectifiers, motors (low voltage, medium voltage--across the line starting, etc), cooling systems and specialized systems, APPD has approximately 800 pieces of electrical supply and distribution equipment (containing approximately 10,000 subordinate systems) which require testing annually on a six year cycle. A test plan and schedule is provided by the APPD. The testing methods are those specified by the National Electrical Testing Association (NETA), utilizing their formatted data recording test sheets. B. Provide electrical engineering services for the equipment covered by this effort to include system and fault studies, preparation of schematics, electrical test and check-out and/or other tasks beyond the layman capability. C. Provide labor to keep electrical equipment/electrical areas free of all dirt, dust, debris, oil and other materials that could impair the design operation of electrical equipment. (Electrical equipment cleanup operator with electrical background). D. Provide automated data processing equipment (ADPE) entry services for the Directorate's electrical equipment history, planned electrical maintenance schedules, electrical equipment specification/purchases, electrical operating and maintenance schedules, electrical material, control records and inventory control. (Documentation Clerk with ADPE experience). PROJECT INFORMATION: The installed electrical equipment ranges in age from 1921 vintage, six machine motor generator frequency converters and 1930's switchgear to state-of-the-art switchgear and rotating equipment. The large rotating equipment range from 600HP to 45,000HP (6.9KV). Transformers vary in size from small control transformers to 30 MVA, 69KV/6.9KV. Approximately 75% of the work effort will be devoted to planned maintenance. Work orders and projects on this effort will be diverse and vary across nearly the entire spectrum of electrical design, supply, distribution and upkeep throughout the 24 buildings comproising APPD. GOVERNMENT FURNISHED: Current contract is operated out of Bldg 62, Area B. This building is government provided/equipped and includes a fully-equipped electrical workshop for fabrication and repair, a meter/relay calibration and repair shop, parts and equipment storage and contractor administrative office space. Basic utilities and on-base telephone services are Government furnished. The contractor shall be expected to provide service vehicles to support the effort throughtout the work area. REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS: A secret clearance shall be required for designated personnel working in certain classified areas in APPD (must be completed by contract start date). (a) Sources applying shall have current full membership certification in NETA. (b) Capabilities Statements Submittals will be screened using the general guidance in Note 25 for the CBD with emphasis on experience, personnel and NETA certification. (c) A full-time professional electrical engineer experienced in and responsible for all phases of testing and maintaining electrical power systems including short circuit analysis, protection coordination studies, and the evaluation of test data is required for day-to-day performance of this effort. The electrical engineer shall also be sufficiently literate and experienced in computer-aided drafting and engineering to prepare, update and design line drawings of electrical systems. (d) Electricians shall be fully qualified electrician journeymen with a minimum of six years of post systems, four years (may be concurrent) experience in large AC and DC machinery (i.e. more than 600HP motors/1000KW generators up to 45,000HP) and associated control circuitry and be able to utilize engineering drawings and manufacturers wiring instruction and/or diagrams. At least one electrician shall have a watchmaker's background and at least two years experience in meter repair and calibration and have passed a one week course at Multi-Amp Company, or have the equivalent thereto, on the repair and calibration of protective relays. At least one electrician shall be a qualified cable splicer experienced in splicing lead-covered high voltage cable. (e) The electrician foreman shall have electrician journeyman qualifications as described above and shall be able to plan and execute the maintenance program described above, in addition to performance of administrative duties that include purchasing materials and parts for maintenance, repair, modifications and installation of equipment, and control use of hazardous materials, and prepare required reports associated with these duties. (f) The contractor must be able to obtain an Access Only Security Agreement plus Secret Clearance with the Department of Defense. This is required for the contractor to be permitted access to certain equipment in classified areas within APPD. Failure to be able to obtain a clearance and/or lack of full membership NETA certification shall automatically disqualify applicants for this effort.
