W -- TEMPORARY DESSICANT TYPE DEHUMIDIFICATION SYSTEMS(TDD) SOL n00102-00-R-0931 DUE 042400 POC Kathleen Barry, 207-438-3866, Patricia Vachon, 207-438-3853 E-MAIL: Kathleen M. Barry, BarryKM@mail.ports.navy.mil. This is a combine synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This announcement is issued as N00102-00-R-0931 and incorporates clauses effective through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-15. This acquisition is not reserved for Small Business, however, the bidder's size status may affect entitlement to award. The standard industrial classification (SIC) code is 7359 and the small business size standard is 500 employees. Item 0001, 0002 0003- The requirements listed below are for equipment that will provide dehumidified, air-conditioned, and eventually heated air during the spring of 2000, to commence on May 11th, and continue into the winter of 2001 for an approximate period of eight (8) calendar months. The equipment will be used in Drydock 2 (DD#2) at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNS). The equipment must provide the proper conditioned air continuously without being manned while the diurnal and seasonal ambient temperatures vary greatly. The equipment will be exposed to the elements, although, it may be partially protected by a framed structure (e.g. herculite cover). For reliability, flexibility, and scheduling concerns, the equipment will be set-up as two (2) independent and non-collocated systems and therefore, will not be dependent on one another. Each duplicate assembly will consist of one (1) dehumidifier with an integral air handler and one (1) cooling or heating module also with an integral air handler. Please note that for increased system reliability and to accommodate temperature conditioning when transitioning from heating to cooling and vice versa during the spring and autumn seasons, an integral air-handler in both the dehumidification units and the separate coil modules is required. Initially, the module will be a cooling coil type and eventually be swapped for a heating coil type. The change over date for switching from cooling to heating modules will be Nov 10th (Friday) such that the rental period will be six (6) calendar months for the cooling modules and two (2) calendar months for the heating modules. A unique feature of Drydock 2 is a central chilled water (CHW) utility line with two (2) CHW utility stations for hose connections. Hence, a chiller unit is not required at this particular drydock. For bid comparison purposes, proposals will be given to Contracting based on a calendar month for a minimum of four (4) calendar months with the option to extend on a calendar month basis afterwards. A calendar month is defined as from the previous month's date number plus one to the date number minus one for the following month (e.g. May 11th to June 10th then June 11th to July 10th). The bid proposal shall list separately the rental fees for each of the three major pieces of equipment: (1) desiccant dehumidification unit, (2) cooling module, and (3) heating module. The proposal will also provide credit for the equipment's partial usage on the last month based on the number of days of use divided by thirty (30) and multiplied by its calendar monthly fee. 1. Each of the two (2) dehumidification units will be the same and have the following features: a. Each dehumidifier shall be of the non-cycling sorption type with a single desiccant rotary structure. Desiccant wheel shall be either titanium silica gel or lithium chloride. The desiccant type dehumidifier shall be manufactured as one (1) complete unit to include all necessary devices such as the desiccant wheel, desiccant driver, reactivation heater, energy control system, motors, air-handlers, filters, automatic controller, and other auxiliary components. The dehumidifier shall be factory assembled. The dehumidifier shall be functionally tested prior to shipment. b. Each dehumidifier shall be capable of removing a nominal 230 pounds of moisture based on ambient conditions of 75 F and 50% RH assuming an air delivery of 9000 scfm. The dehumidifier shall be capable of delivering processed air at 52 F dew point or lower when the ambient conditions approach saturation at the same 75 F. c. The dehumidifier shall be constructed with an integral air-handler. The supply fan shall be capable of delivering between 8,000 to 11,000 scfm at 2 inches of T.S.P. in WC. Air shall be pre-filtered. d. The processed air outlet transition piece shall be sized for or transitioned to accommodate an 18-inch inside diameter round flexible ducting. e. Required utility shall be electric: nominal 460 volt AC / 3 phase / 60 hertz. Equivalent dehumidifiers meeting the above requirements are (1) Munters Model Number HC-9000 or HCD-9000 EA desiccant dehumidifier unit as manufactured by the Munters Corporation -- Cargocaire Division or (2) Desicair Model Number DES-9000-152-E as provided by Aggreko. 2. Each of the two (2) cooling modules will be the same and have the following features: a. Cooling coil module to be positioned downstream of the dehumidification unit (i.e. post-cool accessory). The cooling module shall be compatible with the desiccant dehumidification unit. b. Each cooling module shall be manufactured as one (1) complete unit to include all necessary devices such as the coils, power/switch system, valves, pump, motor, air-handler, filter, automatic controller, and other auxiliary components. The cooling module shall be constructed with an integral air-handler. The cooling module shall be factory assembled. The cooling module shall be functionally tested prior to shipment. c. The cooling coil shall be sized to provide a minimum of 40 tons of cooling based on an airflow of 9000 scfm and a temperature leaving the cooling coil of 50 F dry bulb or lower. The cooling coil shall be thermostatically adjustable and capable of delivering processed air from a set temperature of 42 F to 102 F. d. The cooling module shall have an integral air-handler capable of delivering between 8,000 to 11,000 scfm at 2 inches of T.S.P. in WC. e. The module's inlet and outlet transition pieces shall be sized for or transitioned to accommodate an 18-inch inside diameter round flexible ducting. f. Required utility shall be electric: nominal 120 volt AC / single phase / 60 hertz. 3. Each of the two (2) heating modules will be the same and have the following features: a. Supplemental heat beyond that provided by the desiccant dehumidification unit to be via a heating coil module positioned downstream of the dehumidification unit (i.e. post-heat accessory). The heating module shall be compatible with the desiccant dehumidifier unit. b. Each heating module shall be manufactured as one (1) complete unit to include all necessary devices such as the coils, power/switch system, valves, pump, motor, air-handler, filter, automatic controller, and other auxiliary components. The heating module shall be constructed with an integral air-handler. The heating module shall be factory assembled. The heating module shall be functionally tested prior to shipment. c. The heating coil shall be sized to provide a minimum of 500,000 Btu/Hr (~150 kw) based on an airflow of 9000 scfm. The heating coil shall be thermostatically adjustable and capable of delivering processed air from a set temperature of 60 F to 160 F. d. The heating module shall have an integral air-handler capable of delivering between 8,000 to 11,000 scfm at 2 inches of T.S.P. in WC. e.
