66 -- VEHICLE EMISSIONS, SAMPLING AND GAS ANALYSIS SYSTEMS SOL 99-09 POC Lynne W. Lewis (513) 487-2007 WEB: Office of Acquisition Management -- Cincinnati Contracts, http://www.epa.gov/oam/cinn_cmd. E-MAIL: U.S.EPA -- Cincinnati Contracts Management Division, lewis.lynne@epamail.epa.gov. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) seeks to obtain modern, adaptable, well integrated, vehicle emissions test equipment with user friendly, open, automated control and data handling capabilities. These systems will be used to support certification compliance testing and research into low emitting vehicle emission control systems. Specifications have been prepared for the test equipment and subsystems which comprise the total integrated Chassis Dynamometer Test System (CDTS). This procurement is focused on obtaining an integrated test system with several associated component subsystems -- an exhaust emissions sampling system, a test process and control system, a gas sample analysis system, a data acquisition and test data handling system, and other auxiliary test equipment that will be necessary for EPA to expand its support. The contractor is responsible for the design, fabrication, installation, and operational commissioning of the total system, including performance based acceptance tests. The contractor is responsible for integrating the test cell signals with the test process control sequences, data acquisition hardware, test process control algorithms, and test results processing system, including some of the associated equipment which already exists. It is anticipated that a firm-fixed price contract will be awarded for one system with an option to purchase one additional system. Delivery of one system is 360 days from contract award. All responsible sources who submit a proposal will be considered by the Agency. Interested parties should submit a written request to Lynne Lewis at the above address. TELEPHONE REQUESTS WILL NOT BE HONORED. The request for quote is scheduled to be issued no sooner than 15 days after the date this synopsis is published. Posted 07/29/99 (W-SN360579). (0210)
