- Description
- Vehicle Wash System Inspection, Maintenance, Repair and Monitoring, Nationwide The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Charleston District, has a requirement for the above subject. This is not a Solicitation Announcement and is not a Request for Proposal and does not obligate the Government to any contract award. The purpose of this Sources Sought synopsis is to determine interest and capability of potential qualified Small Business Administration (SBA), Certified 8(a), HUBZone Small Business, and Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business firms relative to the North American Industry Classification Code (NAICS) 237110. The Small Business Size Standard is $33.5 Million. To make an appropriate acquisition decision for the above project, the Government will use responses to this sources sought synopsis. The order of magnitude for this effort is estimated between $1,000,000.00 and $5,000,000.00. Project Information: The intent of this solicitation is to provide planned maintenance (PM), inspection, repair, and remote monitoring of thirty six (36) reclaim (no discharge) vehicle wash systems at Marine Corps Reserve Centers located throughout the continental United States. Each reclaim vehicle wash system includes either an in-ground concrete wash pad with a grit chamber connected to an in-ground sediment pit or collection tank or a portable steel wash rack with a side gutter to collect wash effluent. Effluent from the sediment pit, collection tank, or gutter is pumped to the reclaim system housed in the reclaim container. Wash effluent entering the reclaim system passes through an oil water separator (OWS) and then passes through a series of filters before finally being stored as clean water in the clean water storage tank. Water from the clean water storage tank is used to power either diesel or gas powered pressure washers. At several sites, a high solids removal (HSR) system is installed to remove heavy solids before final wash by the pressure washers. Effluent from the sediment pit or collection tank is pumped at relatively high volume, low pressure, to HSR hose reels and/or spray bars which is used to remove heavy solids. All sites have a remote monitoring system which allows remote users to ascertain the status and condition of the reclaim system, oil water separator, air compressor, chemical levels, process tank levels, temperature and PH of process water and container air temperature, and many other program logic controller (PLC) inputs and outputs. The remote monitoring system sends daily status report (analog data received by the PLC, graph and trending reports) via E-mail. The remote monitoring system communicates to its remote users via a GPRS cellular modem. The system also has a user interface for on-site users. Remote users are allowed to change all input parameters, outputs, and reporting functions. The requirements are as follows: PM, Control and Electrical Systems - distribution (conduit/conductors), switches, flow meters, float and level switches, lighting, pressure and temperature transducers, transformers, panel boards, and control and telemetry panels PM, Mechanical Systems - air compressors, air conditioners, heaters, filtering equipment (including changing filtering media), hose reels (including hoses and nozzles). OWS, valves, pumps, and piping PM, Structural Systems - Portable wash pads and sediment removal from wash pad grit chambers or gutters, lift stations, sediment pits, collection tanks, and OWS Inspection (provide status of condition) - Wash pads, reclaim container, sediment pits, collection tanks Service Calls - Respond to routine and emergency service calls Back Flow Preventers - Provide annual certification by state approved contractor •· Remote monitoring - Provide monthly GPRS cellular modem service to allow for communication between each site remote monitoring system and the Preventative Maintenance Contractor's home office.
