62 -- DESIGN AND INSTALL DAYLIGHT/NIGHTTIME SIMULATION LIGHTING SYSTEM SOL DAAK60-97-T-7096 DUE 031797 POC Contract Specialist EMILY A. SMITH (508) 233-4368 (Site Code DAAK60) The U.S. Army Soldier Systems Command has a requirement for the design and installation of a daylight/nighttime simulation lighting system in shop building No 5, Rm S136, Natick, MA. Proposed design shall include the following information: Light fixture manufacturer and model; number, type and wattage of lamps/ballasts; method of installation in existing or modified hung ceiling, and a drawn to scale sketch detailing proposed fixture heights and positions relative to existing suspended ceiling. Proposed design shall meet the following requirements: System shall be manually programmable to achieve varying illumination levels and shall be capable of storing a minimum of 16 settings (8 daylight and 8 nighttime). Daylight settings programmed shall include average settings for dawn and sunset. Daylight simulation requirements: (a) Uniform illumination over a 32 ft by 16 ft by 16 ft (LxWxH) area. (b) Characteristics which simulate the shape of the spectral power distribution of average daylight for wavelengths in the 350 to 770 nanometer range. Vertical illumination level at 6 ft height shall be a minimum of 35 foot-candles. Nighttime simulation requirements: (a) Uniform nighttime sky illumination over a 32 ft by 16 ft by 16 ft (LxWxH) area. (b) Characteristics which simulate the shape of spectral power distribution for wavelengths in the 350 to 900 nanometer range to achieve the following 4 conditions: (1) Zenith full moon, clear sky -- LUX: .2, footcandles: .02 (2) Zenith quarter moon, clear sky -- LUX: .03, footcandles: .003 (3) Moonless, clear sky -- LUX: .003, footcandles: .0003 (4) Moonless, overcast sky -- LUX: .0003, footcandles: .00003. Proposals will be evaluated on technical merit and cost. A preproposal site visit has been scheduled for Thursday, February 20, 1997 at 1000 hrs in Bldg 5, Rm S136. The SIC Code for this acquisition is 1799. The Request for Quotations will be released on or about February 13, 1997. Requests for copies of the RFQ must be submitted in writing and should includethe requestors name, address, phone number, facsimile number, and e-mail address (if available). Requests may be submitted by mail, facsimile, or e-mail. Telephone requests will not be accepted. E-mail shall be used to the maximum extent possible to distribute RFQ related documents.
