99 -- REPLACE EXISTING SCREEN FABRIC WITH NEW STAINLESS STEEL WOVEN WIRE SCREEN FABRIC. SOL 00SQ1000010 DUE 101499 POC Sue Fraser, 208-378-5103 E-MAIL: Click here to contact the contracting officer via, sfraser@pn.usbr.gov. This is a Pre-Solicitation Notice for Request for Quotes (RFQ) No. 00SQ1000010. The RFQ will be issued on or about October 18, 1999. Estimated price range of the work is $25,000 to $100,000. The Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region has the following requirement: The work consists of 1) disassembling and rebuilding an existing traveling water screen, replacing the existing screen fabric with new stainless steel woven wire screen fabric, reinstalling the screen assembly, and installing a complete set of new seals; and 2) earthwork for excavating existing reinforced concrete and furnishing and placing new reinforced concrete. The Patton Valley Pumping Plant is located approximately 1.5 miles northwest of Gaston, Oregon in Washington County. We expect that this requirement could most practicably be performed by USFilter/Intake Systems. The original traveling water screen was manufactured by Envirex, which later merged with other companies to become USFilter Intake Systems. We believe that the work can best be performed by the original manufacturer of the equipment for the following reasons. 1) USFilter manufactured and supplied the screen in 1974. The company has the original design drawings and/or shop drawings for the equipment, which means they have access to complete fabrication and materials details of the equipment. 2) We anticipate that some of the moving parts are in need of replacement. This company can use O.E.M. (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts. The components used in the screen are designed to work together efficiently and effectively. The use of non-O.E.M. components may reduce the service life and the efficiency of the equipment. Interested parties may submit written, faxed, or e-mail requests to receive a copy of the RFQ. The fax number is 208-378-5108. There is no charge. Telephone requests will not be accepted. The standard industrial classification is 4971, the size standard is $5 million.
