- Description
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Philadelphia District is initiating a commercial items Request for Quote (RFQ) to procure and contract all services (Engineering and Design, Delivery, Installation Oversight & Testing) related to the acquisition of ne w production meters for the Dredge YAQUINA. The system shall be comprised of a velocity meter and density meter. The Dredge YAQUINA is a Trailing Suction Hopper Dredge 193 feet long with a 58 feet Beam. Offerors shall submit specific information on their p roposed meters and components to verify all performance requirements are met; so that the Government has sufficient information to adequately evaluate the proposed components with their offer. Failure to submit this data by the response date for submission of offers will result in rejection of said offer. The intent of the Government is to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to the responsible offeror whose quote represents the best value to the Government. Delivery of the Production Meters shall be no later than 1 November 2007 to: Plant Maintenance Section, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Portland District, 8010 N.W. St. Helens Road, Portland, Oregon 97210-3699. Installation of the meters shall be performed at the Sundial Marine Construction and Repair, I nc. Shipyard, 5605 N.E. Sundial Road, Troutdale, Oregon, 97060-9504. The Dredge YAQUINA is traditionally berthed, when not in operation, at the Port of Portland, Terminal 2, Portland, Oregon. During the solicitation period, the vessel will be available for inspection each Tuesday. The location for inspection will be dependent on the current working requirements of the vessel, and can be coordinated by potential offerors through Mr. Jim Ellis, Port Engineer, (504) 808-5411, or Mr. Dow Webber (504) 808-5409. For planning/quoting purposes, offeror shall assume that the meters will be installed by a private shipyard under separate contract. Offeror shall assume a contractual requirement for onsite support to installation and training, consisting of 1 week in Por tland, Oregon. Additionally, the offer shall assume a requirement to provide a Field Service Engineer for the calibration of the velocity and density sensor systems, and for the duration of the testing. Offeror shall assume calibration and testing to be 2 days in Portland, Oregon. The offeror shall submit a detailed explanation of all warranties provided. The installation of the new meters on the Dredge YAQUINA may be delayed after delivery at the Government Facility; therefore, it is preferable that the warranties commence upon installation rather than upon delivery. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical factors and price. As a whole, technical factors will be more significant than price. In descending order of importance, technical factors incl ude Product Evaluation criteria (degree to which the proposal best meets or exceeds the desirable features outlined in the RFQ, degree to which the proposal demonstrates reduced maintenance and increased durability. Durable, for the purpose of evaluation, is defined as highly resistant to wear, decay, etc.), Past Experience criteria (as used here means the offeror's experience with the design and fabrication of velocity and density meters on hopper dredges within the past five years, both retrofit and new design systems), and Past Performance criteria (includes any information obtained from customer references). Price Evaluation criteria includes Price Reasonableness (the competitiveness of the offeror's price proposal evaluated, taking into consideration t he most probable price of doing business with the offeror, based on the merits of the technical proposals). The RFQ is intended to be issued on or about 16 July 2007. RFQ W912BU-07-T-0066 will be available at the FedTeDS website, https://www.fedteds.gov, o n or about 16 July 2007.
