- Description
- The Primary POC for this action is 1Lt David W. Villarreal, please direct all questions, concerns, or commments to Lt Villarreal at COMM (757) 764-2853 or email david.villarreal@langley.af.mil. Title/Description: Air Combat Command, Langley AFB, intends to Lease 25 aircraft refueling vehicles for one year with the option to purchase them at the completion of the lease period, Solicitation number F44650-03-R-0014. SCOPE: Contractor shall furnish all vehicles, training, technical manuals for operations, and basic operating bench stock in accordance with the Statement of Work (SOW) solicitation number F44650-03-R-0014. Delivery of the vehicles will commence within 30 days of contract award and to be completed within 90 days of contract award to designated locations specified in the SOW and retrieved upon expiration of contract. Funds are presently available for this project. The Government reserves the right to cancel this solicitation, either before or after the closing date. The minimum performance requirements include: The truck shall receive, transport, store, and pump commercial and military aviation fuels. Unless otherwise specified, SAE ARP 1247 requirements for aerospace ground support equipment, as applicable to a refueling truck, shall apply. All components that come into contact with fuel shall be compatible with fuels conforming to ASTM D1655, MIL-DTL-5624, MIL-T-25524, and MIL-DTL-83133. Foreign Object Damage (FOD). Any metal cap, plug, pin, or plate, which must be removed for inspection, service or operation, shall be retained by wire rope lanyard or chain, so it cannot become separated from the truck. Bonding. All metal components shall be bonded in accordance with the guidelines of API RP 2003. Prevention of static electricity. Fuel shall not be required to spray or free fall into or out of the cargo tank during operation or servicing. Nonmetallic components shall be certified to a resistance of 10E+8 ohms/in? or less. Maintainability. Lessee shall provide an attachment specifying the level of operator, government and leaser provided maintenance. Pumping system operation. Maximum nozzle pressure shall not exceed 55 pounds per square inch gauge (psig). The pumping system shall issue from the tank, through the filter system, the meter, the primary hose to the single point nozzle against a nozzle pressure of 50 ? 5 psig. Flow shall be regulated by the demand of the nozzle. Bottom loading system. An automatic high level/overfill prevention system shall stop fuel flow when the tank is full. Vehicle may be equipped with a hydrant moose head adapter to allow for self-filling on a USAF Type III Hydrant system. If so equipped the unit will be compatible with all pressure and flow control mechanisms of the installed hydrant system. Cargo Tank. The truck shall meet all requirements of NFPA 385, NFPA 407, and 49CFR178 (DOT 406). The preferred tanker size is in a range of 5,000 to 7,000 USG capacity. Hose Reel. A hose reel shall be provided and accommodate the entire length of s non-collapsible servicing hose as determined by the user. Hoses. The refueling vehicle shall come equipped with a minimum of 60 feet (+ or- as determined by user to meet refueling requirements) of API 1529, Edition 5, Grade 2, Type C hose, including; non-reattachable corrosion resistant metal couplings, as specified in API 1529, Section 7; and a dry break coupling compatible with the nozzle(s). Nozzles. A type D-1 single point nozzle, as specified in SAE AS 5877, shall be attached to the hose with a dry break adapter. When specified, a D-2 single point nozzle shall replace the D-1 single point nozzle. When specified, an OPW model 295AF nozzle, or equivalent, overwing nozzle with a dry break hose adapter shall be provided. Dead man Control System. A dead man control system, as specified in NFPA 407 shall be provided. The overshoot shall not exceed 5 percent of the actual flow rate from the time the deadman is released until the flow stops completely. If an electrical dead man system is provided, it shall be certified intrinsically safe and incorporate a continuous operator input feature. If an electric dead man is used, loop wiring shall be acceptable. Static discharge bonding/grounding reels. Two Type I grounding reels shall be installed side-by-side on the left side of the truck. One reel shall have a welder style grip clamp and the other shall have a grounding plug. There shall be no more than 0.5 ohm resistance between either reel and the cargo tank. Fire extinguishers. Two Type I, Class 1, Size 20 fire extinguishers shall be installed, one on each side of the truck. The extinguishers shall be accessible while standing on the ground and shall be protected from tire splash. Fuel Filtration System. The filtration system shall be rated for the maximum pump flow and pressure. The filter vessel and elements shall be designed, manufactured, and qualified to the current requirements of the API/IP Specification 1581, Specification and Qualification Procedures for Aviation Jet Fuel Filter Separators. The effluent fuel samples shall not exceed 10 parts per million free water content. Stages one and two must conform to API 1581, M100 class filtration and if equipped, stage 3 will conform to API PUBL 1583 for fuel monitors. Manual water drain. The water sump of the filter vessel shall be equipped with a manually operable stainless steel ball-type valve. Sampling device. A fuel sampling device shall take samples downstream of the filter/monitor system. Adequate space shall be provided to connect an in-line sampler such as the Millipore Corporation, Bedford MA, 01730, fluid sampling kit, catalog No. XX64 037 30, Gammon Model GTP-1110 or equivalent for solids and water samples. Flow Meter. All fuel flow through the filtration system, in or out of the cargo tank, shall be metered. The meter shall be certified accurate to ? .25 % at both minimum and maximum flow rates. The meter shall also have a reset able and non-reset able totalizer. Pressure gauges. As a minimum requirement, the vehicle must be equipped with a nozzle pressure gauge. Vehicle may be equipped with additional monitoring gauges. All gauges must be identified by function, and shall be certified accurate to within one percent of the scale range. Gauges shall; have needles damped to minimize oscillations; be vacuum protected; and include a red line to indicate maximum safe operating pressure. The pump pressure gauge shall indicate system pressure upstream of the filter. The nozzle pressure gauge shall indicate actual pressure, or shall use a system reference point that gives a full range reading within five psig of actual pressure at the nozzle. Differential pressure gauge. A Gammon Technical Products GTP-534PB-30A0 differential pressure gauge, or equivalent, shall monitor the psi pressure drop across the filtration media during operation and register the highest pressure drop achieved during operation. Emergency engine shutoff. An emergency switch shall shut off the truck engine without the use of any other control. Pressure control system. The pressure control system shall limit single point discharge nozzle pressure to a maximum of 55 psig at any flow rate. Pressure surges shall be limited to a maximum of 150 psig at any time, including a one second shutdown at the aircraft. Any surge pressure developed shall not exceed the pressure rating of any single component in the system. Vehicle Transmission. The required transmission is automatic transmission. Vehicle Cab Requirements. The vehicle cab must be capable of seating at least 2 persons to facilitate training and force protection requirements. Examination of product. The truck provider shall certify in writing the refueling vehicle has been examined and complies with the salient characteristics specified in Section 1, Requirements. Particular attention shall be given to accessibility of controls and levers, interchangeability, safety, performance, materials, welding, fasteners, and finish. 19 Nov 03 - This solicitation notice is in reference to the pre-solicitation notice issued on 21 Oct 03 for the lease of 25 aircraft refueling vehicles for one year with the option to purchase.
