(vi) Statement of Work BACKGROUND The ship’s service and control air compressors on the T-AO 187 Class vessels need to be replaced. The Nash liquid ring rotary compressor units are inefficient to operate, costly to repair, and maintenance intensive. MSC requires a replacement for the current models with a more efficient, more reliable type of air compressor that has an economically feasible preventative maintenance program. The ship’s service air system requires clean, dry, oil-free air to serve various shops, whistles, atomizing, and tool hose services. The control air system serves various pneumatically operated valves, main engine clutch control, shaft brake, and various control valves. EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS MSC has performed an extensive evaluation of the various types of low pressure air compressors and air dryers and has determined that combined with avoiding extensive retrofitting of a new unit to the existing supply and service systems and overall performance requirements, the following requirements are necessary: 1. Screw type air compressor unit 2. 200 scfm or greater at 125 psig 3. Direct Drive 4. Footprint limitations a. Length not to exceed 85 inches b. Width not to exceed 75 inches c. Height not to exceed 72 inches 5. Weight not to exceed 5000lbs. 6. No enclosure (Preferred) 7. Foundation must include vibration isolation mounting. 8. Air Dryer package rated at 125 psig for moisture/oil/contaminate separation to .1 micron downstream of Air Receivers. Air Dryer shall be capable of drying 280 scfm of air to a -40 degF dewpoint at 100 psig and 100 degF. Package shall be skid mounted and include all recommended prefilters, dryers, and after filters as necessary. Package shall include dual elements for 100% redundancy, and provide automatic switching between elements in the event of element failure. Automatic condensate draining from the filters shall be provided. 9. Worldwide service/support locations, to include spare parts availability 10. ABS/USCG approved 11. Air compressor units must be fresh water cooled via integral or skid mounted fresh water heat exchanger. 12. Standard shipboard spare parts for 1 year of operation (2 sets per ship) to include: a. Oil separator b. Lubricating oil c. Air filter d. Oil filter e. Dryer Package filter element replacements, if applicable 13. Lead/Lag operation (2 units) - Contractor’s air compressor controls shall mimic the current control logic onboard the T-AO class vessels as follows: a. A lead/lag control capability shall be integrated into the control panel of the air compressors. Either compressor shall be capable of being selected as on-line or standby. b. Pressure switches and/or associated electrical controls furnished with control panel shall be set at the cut-in/cut-out pressures listed below. Pressure Switches Cut-In Cut out On-line Compressor 115psig 125psig Standby Compressor 110psig 120psig 14. New air compressor units shall integrate/interface with the existing support systems: a. Ships service air system (200 scfm or greater at 125 psig) i. (2) Air Receivers 50 cubic feet, relief valve set at 150 psig ii. Piping size from compressors to Air Receivers – 2 in. iii.

Local control panel (Hand/Auto/Off selector switch) 2. Air Dryer control/humidistat 3. Auto Drain controls ii. Motor power source requirements (440VAC, 3 phase, 60 Hz) d. Alarms – Ship service/control air compressor malfunction alarms, both local and tied into remote Engine Room Console. 15. The compressor unit and controls shall operate and function in a marine environment. (Possible temperature range from 32 degF to 120 degF.) GOVERNMENT PROVIDED INFORMATION 1. C-3 Logistics Support Requirements, paragraph C-3.1 and all subparagraph. (MS Word format) 2. Ships Service Air and Control Air System drawings (electronic copy upon request) 3.
