- Description
- The U.S. Maritime Administration's Training Ship Kennedy is provided to the Massachusetts Maritime Academy for the purpose of training young men and women for a career in the Maritime Industry. The Kennedy, (ex VELMA LYKES) currently employs a General Regulator N-51 parallel positioning Combustion Control system for its two propulsion boilers. This system is inherently inefficient in that the fuel oil always leads the air. In addition, the system is a 1951 design requiring parts which are no longer supportable. It is our desire to replace the N-51 with an automated system of proven reliability and supportability which will result in maximum combustion efficiency. It is the purpose of this RFP to identify the company, system and equipment that can best accomplish this work in a cost effective and beneficial manner. The complete solicitation package, DTMA-92-P-2011-0004, will be available at www.fedbizopps.gov on or about 06/17/2011. This requirement is Total Set-Aside for Small Businesses under the NAICS Code 336611. A firm fixed price contract is contemplated. Please note that all firms conducting business with MARAD must be registered with the Government Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database prior to award of any contract. You can register at www site http://www.ccr.gov. The successful offeror shall be responsible for designing, obtaining regulatory approval, installing and testing as part of a sea trial the new system. The new system must provide, at all boiler loads, fully automated control (to include a means of manual backup control) of fuel, air, feed water and burner management to the boilers. It shall be designed as a fully metered system ensuring that air/fuel ratios remain in their optimum and safe ranges. The new system shall be of cross limited control ensuring that air leads fuel with increasing steam demand and lags with decreasing demand. In addition, the new system shall employ oxygen trim ensuring proper air/fuel ratios with varying fuel qualities and air flow conditions. The new system shall employ fully automatic, 3 element feed water control. All offerors proposals shall include a detailed description on how they will manage/control the below functions, these items will be evaluated as individual items and as part of a complete boiler automation system. COMBUSTION CONTROL AND FEEDWATER CONTROL FEED PUMP CONTROL F.O. TEMPERATURE CONTROL F.O.
