66 -- FUEL CONDITIONING, DELIVERY, AND MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS SOL 98-09 POC Pam Legare WEB: Office of Acquisition Management -- Cincinnati Contracts, http://www.epa.gov/oam/cinn_cmd. E-MAIL: U.S. EPA -- Cincinnati Contracts Management Division, legare.pamela@epamail.epa.gov. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) seeks sources to provide standardized fuel conditioning and measurement systems for EPA's National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory(NVFEL ). These fuel systems will supply test fuel to engines undergoing exhaust emission testing in an engine dynamometer test facility. The systems will provide temperature conditioned fuel to an engine as well as accurately measure the quantity of fuel consumed by the engine. The engines being tested will be both spark ignited and compression ignited. The types of tests performed at NVFEL and the broad range of engines tested comprise a wide range of operating parameters necessary for the adequate delivery of fuel and the accurate measurement of fuel quantity consumed. The purpose of this effort is to meet the majority of these fuel conditioning and measurement needs within one fuel system design. The fuel system must be capable of handling diesel, gasoline (including oxygenated fuel blends), M-85 and methanol. The fueldelivery operating range will be from 2 grams per minute to 1500 grams per minute. Fuel consumption must be reported in mass units. The fuel flow measurement element may be volumetric or mass based. Interested parties should submit a written request to Pam Legare at the above address, by fax (513)487-2107/(513)487-2004 or by email (legare.pamela@epamail.epa.gov). TELEPHONE REQUESTS WILL NOT BE HONORED. The Request for Proposal is scheduled to be issued fifteen days after the date this synopsis is published. Posted 06/26/98 (0177)
