- Project Name: Battery Packs for Gillig hybrid electric diesel buses with Allison Electric Drives, Yosemite National Park.The Solicitation Number for this project is P12PS22300. The US Department of the Interior, National Park Service, Yosemite National Park is soliciting proposals from qualified firms under a firm-fixed-price Requirements contract to furnish Allison Transmission battery packs pursuant to FAR 16.503. Estimated requirement is for the approximate purchase of 6 units per year. The estimated total quantity of all delivery orders to be placed under this contract in the event that all option items are exercised is 18 units. This estimate is not a representation to an offeror or contractor that the estimated quantity will be required or ordered, or that conditions affecting requirements will be stable or normal. This contract's period of performance is anticipated to consist of one base year, with two option years possible at the sole discretion of the Government. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 423120. This is a "Best Value" negotiated procurement. Selection will be based on: a) Responsiveness to the Brand Name requirement, b) Timeliness of delivery after receipt of individual order, c) Past performance, d) Price.___________________________________________________________________________________________ Brand Name Justification The National Park Service operates a visitor shuttle bus system in Yosemite National Park. This system consists of twenty-two hybrid electric diesel 39 passenger buses manufactured by Gillig Corporation, Hayward, California. Eighteen buses were purchased by NPS for Yosemite in 2005; four additional hybrid electric diesel buses were acquired in 2011. The power system of these buses consists of an electric battery pack and diesel engine. The battery pack has a useful life of approximately six years, at which time electric storage system (ESS) refresh battery kits/conversion kits are needed to keep the buses operating. The eighteen buses acquired in 2005 are in need of refresh/conversion kits. Electric storage system (ESS) Refresh Kit and ESS1 to ESS2 Conversion Kit are an assimilation of electric propulsion components and parts provided by Allison Electric Drive, the original engine manufacturer (OEM) of the Gillig hybrid electric diesel 39 passenger buses which comprise the park's visitor transportation (shuttle bus) system. The ESS Refresh Kit/ESS1 to ESS2 Conversion Kit is a package of engine parts and components specified by the OEM for the Gillig hybrid electric diesel buses. The Electric storage system (ESS) Refresh Kit and ESS1 to ESS2 Conversion are the only package of components and parts specified by the OEM. The refresher kit package provided by Allison Electric Drive meets all the specifications of the Gillig power system. No other refresher kit/conversion kit package is provided or specified for the Gillig power system. The ESS Refresh Kit is essential to the continued operation of the electric propulsion system of the Gillig hybrid electric diesel buses. Each refresher kit lasts approximately six years. The original fleet of 18 Gillig hybrid diesel buses was delivered in May 2005. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ The Solicitation and attachments will be posted electronically on or about April 6, 2012 at the following website: www.fedbizopps.gov.
