Certification of registration in CCR. This is a firm fixed price request for quote. STATEMENT OF WORK: One (1) Dual Downhole Fuel Fluorescence Detector (FFD) will be acquired and applied to core samples gathered in Blind Pass, Tampa Bay, FL. A series of sediment cores will be collected 1) in areas though to be free of hydrocarbons; 2) thought to be likely to contain hydrocarbons; 3) from areas which may or may not have hydrocarbons; Sediment cores will be split open and analyzed for hydrocarbons by pushing the FFD probe down the length of the core. The feasibility of making FFD measurements in the field will also be evaluated. If FFD field measurements are determined to be viable, then field measurements will be gathered to complement the core samples being gathered. These measurements will enable AOML to identify and study the distribution of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in Blind Pass. MINIMUM SPECIFICATIONS: Fuel Fluorescence detector must have the following: 1. Ultraviolet light source (UV) that activates aromatic hydrocarbons to fluorescence. Fluorescence is detected at two different wavelengths by two photomultiplier tubes (PMT). 2. Cone Penetrometer Technology (CPT) capability to push the FFD probe up to 25 feet into coastal marine environments (muddy/sandy substrates), which will significantly reduce the time needed to detect and delineate hydrocarbons. 3. Streamlined cables ? the use of a 10-conductor cable capable for CPT data and high voltage lamp supply, along with locating the optical detectors downhole. The cable diameter must be 0.35 inches and be used with 1.75 OD CPT push rods. 4. Dual photomultiplier tubes must be able to be pushed downhole to eliminate signal attenuation in the optical fiber, allowing weakly fluorescent compounds to be detected at any depth below ground surface. 5. The use of dual optical filters must allow differentiation between lighter fuels, which fluoresce more intensely at low wavelengths, and heavier fuels, which fluoresce more intensely at longer wavelengths. 6. The dual FFD must provide continuous real-time output of fluorescence during the entire time the probe is being pushed into the sediments. This information must be able to be viewed graphically in real-time with the CPT Data acquisition system (DAS) as the probe is advanced through the substrate. 7. CPT delivery system must generate minimal investigation derived waste, which will reduce the cost of containerization and disposal. 8. Ultraviolet light source must be a mercury discharge lamp. 9. Excitation wavelength of 254nm. 10. Housing must be hardened steel with durable coating. 11. Optical window must be replaceable Sapphire. 12. Detection limit of <100ppm (TPH). 13. Power = 12VDC, 5 Amp, 60W. 14. Output = 0-12VDC digital. 15. The field portable digital CPT DAS must be housed in a water-resistant instrument case. 16. The sensor specific data (calibration factors, serial numbers, and sensor type) must be stored in each sensor module in the cone, and automatically transmit to the instrument control unit with each penetration of the FFD probe, allowing a technician with minimal training to operate the system. 17. The system must provide easy to follow pull down menus which allows the operator to quickly input all pertinent test information and the digitized voltage signal from any sensor can be viewed on screen for simple field diagnostics. 18. Instrument control unit must come with a complete software package for acquisition, processing, and plotting data. 19. Instrument control unit must be able to generate software-quality plots in the field even while the probe is being pushed. 20. Instrument control unit must have an auxiliary channel which provides a 4.00VDC excitation and a 200 gain bi-polar input, which will allow the user to input optional devices. 21. The computer which runs the system must be: laptop suitable for work in the field and include the following: 1) Pentium III or above processor; 2) Windows XP; 3) 1 GB system memory; 4) CD/RW/DVD internal drive; 5) USB and serial ports; 6) touch screen capability. 22. The Contractor must provide the Government staff with training in use of the FFD system. SCHEDULE OF PRICES: Provide itemized pricing as follows: UNIT TOTAL CLIN #1 ?
