The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 90-37. This procurement is unrestricted. CLIN 0001 Compressor, 2 EA, 208 VAC, 3 phase, 60 cycle motor. Configuration for vertical permanent installation. D.F.M. rating of 20.4.The Compressor will come with a gauge panel which has individual pressure gauges for all stages and the oil pressure; and hour meter for logging operational run time and maintaining a maintenance schedule; a high temperature switch which will shut down the system if there is a problem with excessive heat; a low oil pressure switch which will shut down the system due to low oil pressure; an automatic condensate drain which will automatically dump condensate as required by the system; an automatic start/stop switch that will start the system at a specified low pressure and stop the system at a predetermined high air pressure. Capable of processing a minimum of 80,000 cubic feet of air between cartridge changes. Compressor shall have one purification filter system consisting of the following main components: (1) Coalescing oil and water separator. (2) Two purification chambers with replaceable purification cartridges. (3) Electronic moisture monitoring system. (4) Panel for mounting the system. The high pressure purification chambers must have a working minimum pressure of 5,000 PSIG. The design of the cartridge pressure chambers must eliminate the possibility of operating the system without purification cartridges installed or with improperly installed cartridges. CLIN 0002 Compressor; 2 EA, 208 VAC, 3 phase, 60 cycle motor, deployable, self contained, with heavy duty locking wheels, lifting rings, a flexible high pressure air line, an electric power cord, heavy duty frame. Compressors must be capable of being readily configured for operation in a lag/lead configuration with compressors listed in (CLIN 0001). Minimum C.F.M. rating of 20.4. The compressor shall have a gauge panel which has individual pressure gauges for all stages and the oil pressure; an hour meter for logging operational run time and maintaining a maintenance schedule; a high temperature switch which will shut down the system if there is a problem with excessive heat; a low oil pressure switch which will shut down the system due to low oil pressure; an automatic condensate drain which will automatically dump condensate as required by the system; an automatic start/stop switch that will start the system at a predetermined low air pressure and stop the system at a predetermined high air pressure. Capable of processing a minimum of 80,000 cubic feet of air between cartridge changes. The compressor shall have one purification system. The system shall come with the following minimum main components: (1) Coalescing oil and water separator. (2) Two purification chambers with replaceable purification cartridges. (3) Electronic moisture monitoring system. (4) Panel for mounting the system. The high pressure purification chambers must have a working minimum pressure of 5,000 PSIG. the design of the cartridge pressure chambers must prevent the possibility of operating the system without purification cartridges installed or with improperly installed cartridges. CLIN 0003 Fill station; 4 EA, capable of filling six air bottles simultaneously. Two separate distribution systems shall consist of 2 fill station panels each with the following minimum features: (1) Inlet/supply pressure gauge. (2) Adjustable pressure reducing regulator. (3) Outlet pressure gauge. (4) 6 control valves, one for each fill whip. (5) 6 individual pressure gauges. All control valves are on the panel next to corresponding gauge. Each 4 foot whip comes with a scuba yoke and bleed valve so that the whip pressure is relieved between tank fills. The pressure reducing regulator adjusts from 0 to 4500 PSI with an operation set pressure relief valve set. CLIN 0004 Four storage vessel racks wall mounted, each capable of holding (4) vertical storage vessels (total of 16 vessels). Storage vessels shall conform to American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) with a minimum of 439 cubic foot and 5250 PSI.. The vessels desired sizes are 55'' tall with a diameter of 9.5''. The system shall include all cylinder valves, safety relief valves, and all necessary plumbing, hardware, and mounting racks. The storage vessels shall never require hydrostatic testing. This system shall be capable of receiving a minimum of 3500 cubic feet of air in storage for immediate distribution. CLIN 0005 Oxygen booster system with pump, 2 EA, capable of completely draining the oxygen supply bottles. The system shall come with the following minimum components: (1) An air drive supply adjustable reducing regulator with pressure gauges. (2) oxygen booster. (3) Pump. The booster shall pump from high or medium pressure sources. (4) Mounted in a deluxe roll cage assembly. The booster shall be rated for a minimum continuous compression ratios of over 15:1, and intermittent to 40:1. It shall have a pneumatic control package which continually monitors both inlet and outlet receiver pressure, stopping the booster automatically when desired outlet or minimum inlet pressure is reached. The supply drive air will come from the high pressure system after purification. CLIN 0006 Oil, 20 GAL, manufacturer's standard, for maintenance of the air system. CLIN 0007 Provide preventative maintenance components parts for a period of 2 years ensuring compatibility with all system components of offered products and compliance with United States Navy NAVSEA and 3M (Material Maintenance Management) directive and orders.
