The FBI requires one (1) breathing air compressor, (1) nitrox generator, (1) cascade system, (1) SCUBA containment fill station, and (1) separate regulator system. These systems will give the FBI the ability to generate nitrox and fill breathing air tanks for the FBI divers. The Diver Systems shall meet or exceed the following specifications: (1) Breathing Air Compressor • The air purification system shall have a breathing air grade class "E" • Shall have a minimum of 15 HP (HorsePower) • Shall be capable of producing a minimum of 6000 PSI • Shall process a minimum of 22 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) • Shall be able to operate only on electrical power, 480V-3phase-60A o The main power wired feed to the building is 480V o Gas or diesel will not be acceptable • Shall have an air purification system capable of processing a minimum of 80,000 cubic feet. • Air fill temperature and number of cartridges and chambers shall be set to industry standards. • System shall be fully enclosed with sound proof protection • System shall have: o An automatic drain system o Hour meter to determine how long the compressor has been in use o An automatic safety turn off capability when pressure has reached its maximum o A Carbon-Monoxide / moisture indicator shall be an electronic indicator that will shut down the compressor if Co/moisture levels exceed 10ppm by volume. As for moisture, there shall be no free liquid water. The maximum water content of the air coming from the compressor shall not exceed 25 mg per cubic meter. (1) Nitrox Generator • System shall be capable of producing a breathable gas blend that contains up to 40% Oxygen. • Capable of unlimited continuous production; i.e. no lag time when machine has been turned on - instantaneous Nitrox produced continually until it has been shut off. • Complete turnkey operation; a system that is prepared to start producing immediately once it has been turned on. Do not want a several step process to make the generator produce. • Shall have a membrane system to filter the nitrogen molecules • Shall be able to process a minimum of 20 CFM. (1) Cascade System • Shall have 4 ASME vessels securely fastened to the wall at installation o Each ASME cylinder shall have a minimum capacity of 475 cubic feet at 6000 PSI. (1) SCUBA Containment Fill Station • Shall be able to fill at minimum 3 standard 80 cubic feet aluminum SCUBA tanks simultaneously. • Shall have a full containment system with lock bar for safety o Must be a bullet proof containment vessel incase SCUBA tank or fill whip ruptures or explodes • Fill whips shall have a shut off and bleeder assembly • Shall have a built in control panel to include: o Liquid filled gauge for each cascade bottle with a control to determine pressure status. o Adjustable regulator for each fill station and a pressure results gauge o Knobs for control and air flow o A selector option to choose to fill the SCUBA tanks with Nitrox or with banked (regular breathing) air from the cascade system  This means that there will need to be a connection between the Nitrogen Generator and the control panel o Pressure gauge and regulator for the separate regulator system listed in the specification below (1) Separate Regulator System • Shall be capable of regulating the air pressure from 0-6000 PSI inlet and 0-250 PSI outlet • The auxiliary regulator shall tie into a piping system which will deliver low pressure (250 PSI maximum) service air to the balance of the dive area and a computer service area. The air will be utilized for routine cleaning and maintenance of dive and computer equipment. • Shall have liquid filled gauges • Shall have a pressure relief valve • Shall be securely mounted during installation  The vendor shall install the cascade bottles and nitrox generator by mounting on the wall and the compressor, fill station, and integrated control panel will be placed on the ground. The entire system shall fit in 4'x8' room with a 6' wide roll up door and approximately ~12' ceiling height. The anticipated plans are for the compressor and fill station with integrated control panel to sit on the floor. The nitrox generator and cascade bottles are to be affixed to the wall on a shelf above. All installation costs must be included in quote.  Installation for items is tentatively scheduled for approximately the September 2009 time frame; however, the date is subject to move based upon construction completion.
