- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in 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 is Request for Quotation No. 03-SQ-34-0128 which incorporates all provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular No. 2001-12. This is a Small Business Set Aside, the North American Industrial Classification Code is 332911 and the small business size standard is 500 employees. The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), Yuma Area Office, Yuma Desalting Plant, has a requirement for Tricentric Butterfly Valves and Actuators to be used on high pressure pumps. BACKGROUND: Reclamation is currently in the process of replacing a number of existing high pressure pump valves and actuators. The existing high pressure pump butterfly valves have seen limited service but because of the ph of water being processed, the aluminum bronze disks of the butterfly valves have eroded to the point the valves no longer provide a positive seal. A second problem associated with the various valves has been the motor operated valve actuators are undersized for the typical operating pressures of the desalting plant. Reclamation has been in the process of replacing the valves and actuators over the years as a design deficiency. Reclamation plans to purchase the final set of replacement valves and all of the remaining associated actuators. SCHEDULE OF SUPPLIES/SERVICES: Contractor shall furnish all of the equipment and materials as listed herein: CLIN 001, Butterfly Valves, 18-inch diameter, Stainless Steel including O-rings, actuator adapter plates and bolts, 6 EACH, $_____/EACH; CLIN 002, Valve Actuator, High Pressure, Motor Operated, 18-inch, 11 EACH, $_____/EACH; CLIN 003, Valve Actuator, Motor Operated, High Pressure, 24-inch, 2 EACH, $_____/EACH. CLIN 004, Valve Actuator, Motor Operated, High Pressure, 12-inch, 2 EACH, $_____/EACH. GRAND TOTAL: $_________. Delivery is FOB Destination, to the Bureau of Reclamation, Yuma Area Office, 7301 Calle Agua Salada, Yuma, Arizona 85364. REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATIONS: The supplied valves shall be Tricentric Butterfly valves with the following salient characteristics or an approved equal product. Salient Characteristics: 1. Valves shall be designed and built in accordance with ASME B16.34 (1996); 2. Cast 316 Stainless Steel per ASTM A351 (2000) CF8M body material; 3. Stainless Steel Shaft; 4. ASTM A351 (2000) CF8M disc with 316 SST/Grafoil laminated seal stack; 5. Monel bolting for wetted parts; 6. Wafer end connections with 1/4-inch O-ring groove; 7. Tapered cone type sealing arrangement; 8. Graphoil packing; 9. Bare stem with no operator; 10. Zero leakage (shaft side flow) test criteria; and 11. A Hydrostatic test report documenting seat leakage results. Butterfly valves shall be quarter (1/4) turn butterfly/disc. Valves shall be ANSI Class 300. End connections shall be wafer type. Grove each side for a 1/4-inch O-ring seal to mate with standard flat face piping flanges. Groove dimensions shall be a minimum of 1- inch larger than the outside diameter of the designated pipe, 1/4-inch deep and 3/8-inch wide or as required for AS-469 O-ring for 18-inch valves. Butterfly valves shall have a metal to metal disc seal with zero leakage. Packing glands shall be adjustable. Wetted parts shall be 316 Stainless Steel, including body, except for threaded bolts. Material selection for bolts shall not promote galvanic corrosion, and shall help alleviate galling and/or seizing of threaded parts. OPERATING CONDITIONS: Valves will be located adjacent to the Yuma Desalting Plant (YDP) clearwell structure at the high pressure pump discharge header on the reverse osmosis feed headers. The valves and associated actuators will be exposed to the elements and required to operate in a temperature range of 0 degree Celsius (32 degree Fahrenheit) to 50 degree Celsius (122 degree Fahrenheit). Valves shall be bidirectional and shall be capable of handling water with a specific gravity of 1.0. The operational ph range of the water will be between 4 and 5, with a total dissolved solids content of 3,000 mg/l (3,000 parts per million). The maximum operating pressure differential will be 500 pounds per square inch (PSI). SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS: Contractor shall submit the following information with their proposal: 1. Details and dimensions, types, weights, and materials of construction; 2. Manufacturers catalog cuts and other documentation showing the valve, model, and outline dimensions; 3. Flow coefficients; 4. Actuator torque requirements (to include breakaway, running, and maximum) and operating arc/revolution requirements; 5. Installation, actuator mounting dimensions including shaft and mounting flange, and set up instructions. VALVE MARKING: Valves shall be marked with a stainless steel identification plate in accordance with the requirements of MSS-SP-25 (1998). ELECTRICAL ACTUATORS: Contractor shall size and furnish electric valve actuators with the necessary torque requirement for operating 24-inch, 18-inch and 12-inch Case 316 Stainless Steel valves. The actuators shall be sized for the necessary torque requirements to seal, breakaway, and run under the conditions outlined for their respective valves. Supplier shall furnish and size all necessary adapter plates. Actuators shall meet the following minimum specification requirements: Voltage - 3 phase 480V (60 Hz); Action - Modulation 2 Way with Fail Last Position; Motor Type - Squirrel cage; Motor Brake - Standard; Motor protection; Enclosure - NEMA 4; Surface Cooling; Override Control - Manual Handwheel; Control Input - remote NO contacts; Fully Open/Close Limit Switch - 2 SPDT 10Amp; Mechanical Position Indicator - O/C Position.
