23 -- TANKER TRAILERS SOL EMV-2000-RP-0035 DUE 060900 POC Jennie K. Nickleson, Contract Specialist, 540-542-2133 E-MAIL: EMV-2000-RP-0035, jennie.nickleson@fema.gov. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation according to the format in FAR Subpart 12.6 as supplement with additional information included in this notice. EMV-2000-RP-0035 is to purchase five (5) each 6200 gallon potable water tanker trailers. These tankers will be needed to meet food grade specifications to provide potable water in quantity and quality for human consumption at disaster locations. STATEMENT OF WORK: The tanks will be of a one-piece design meaning that the axles are attached directly to the tanker and there is no sub-frame for the tanker to sit on. This type of design allows for lighter weight construction, prevents corrosion from moisture and dirt buildup between dissimilar metals of sub-frame and tanker and allows for easier maintenance and repair of the tanker. The tankers are to be built from Type 304 Stainless Steel since the Type 304 is a closed porous metal, it will aid in the prevention of bacterial growth. Tankers shall be fitted baffles of type 304 stainless steel and designed soas to not interfere with the internal wash system. The tankers are to be fitted with an internal wash system. The wash system will aid in the cleaning and flushing of the interior to maintain the integrity of the potable water system. Pump and plumbing shall be configured to utilize existing water within the tanker for cleaning. The pump will draw water from the tanker and supply the wash system in a continuous re-circulating cycle. At the end of the cleaning cycle the plumbing will allow for the dumping of the water into the domestic sewer system. The tanks need to be insulated and have the ability to be electrically heated to keep the water from freezing during the winter months in transit and at disbursing site. Optimum water temperature would be 55 degrees F. The tankers will be fitted with a 3 horsepower single-phase motor to drive a good grade pump for product transfer and be capable of pressurizing a building. Electric motor and product transfer pump and plumbing shall be designed and configured to allow the drafting and pumping of water on and off the tanker at a rear portal. Electric motor and pump shall be capable of pumping a minimal 45 psi continuously through a " to 1"x50' hose while maintaining this pressure and volume during the periods when no product is in demand to the end user. Pump and motor should be capable of pumping a minimum of 250 gpm through a 3" hose. Plumbing should allow for drafting, pumping, and be compatible with current water purification units with FEMA. The connections for the supply side of pump will have to allow for the connection of a 3" and " hose. Drafting side of the pump will have to allow for the connection of a 3" hose. Plumbing will have to be configured to allow the filling of the tanker by bypassing the drafting side of the product pump. Tanker fill connections should allow for a 3", 1.25" and " hose. An airtight storage compartment is required for product transfer hoses. The tankers will need to have one weatherproof storage compartment for a 25' ridged hose for the purpose of drafting. Electric motor and product transfer pump shall be located at rear of tanker and be enclosed in a weather-tight compartment. Enclosure needs to be provided for product transfer pump and motor. Provision needs to be made for the installation and integration of a diesel generator capable of supporting the electrical requirements of the heating and product distribution modules.
