Bechtel National, Inc., acting as agent for the US Army Corps of Engineers on the Chemical Stockpile Disposal Program (CSDP), intends to competitively solicit 1 Projectile Deformation Equipment (PDE), with options for 2 additional PDEs that may be exercised through the year 2000. The PDE consists of a deformation press, hydraulic power unit, scale receptacle, controls and control panel. The deformation press is comprised of modular, double acting hydraulic cylinder assemblies to deform 4.2-inch/105-mm, 155-mm, and 8-inch munitions. The hydraulic double acting cylinders shall be ENERPAC Models RR506, PR-1006, and PR-1506 rated at 10,000 psi with up to 150 ton capacity. The hydraulic power unit shall be a packaged unit, capable of supplying hydraulic fluid to the cylinders of the projectile deformation press. Hydraulic fluid shall be supplied by a fixed-displacement pump designed for 2.0 gpm at 5,000 psi and 1.8 gpm at 10,000 psi. The contractor shall fabricate, test, and deliver the deformation press and hydraulic power unit as a build to print. Additional equipment for a complete and operable PDE shall be designed, manufactured, tested and delivered in accordance with the performance requirements given in the specification. This includes the PLC control system, control panel, scale/residue receptacle and munitions backstop. The PLC shall be programmable on-line or off-line through a personal computer and communicate with an Allen-Bradley Data Highway Plus (DH+) local area network. In addition, calculations are required to: confirm the seismic structural design (per ICBO Uniform Building Code, Seismic Zone 3, Importance Factor l=1.0); provide a Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM) analysis (for a system availability of 90% or greater) and provide a Mean-Time-to-Repair (MTTR) analysis. Delivery will be required approximately 7 months after award. This procurement is unrestricted with regard to business size. Evidence of shop capacity and capability to perform projects of this size, type, and complexity, on schedule, will be required.
