Evaluation Criteria

52.212.2 Evaluation-Commercial Items Oct 2014

(a) The Government will award one (1) purchase order on a sole source basis resulting from this Request for Quote (RFQ) to the responsible Offeror whose quotation conforming to the RFQ is the most advantageous to the Government. The following shall be used to evaluate the quotations.

Technical Acceptability: Technical Acceptability will be evaluated to determine an overall rating of “acceptable” or “unacceptable”. This will be determined by evaluating the ability of the offeror to provide a sound, compliant approach that meets all requirements listed in the Statement of Work (SOW) and demonstrates a thorough knowledge and understanding of the requirements. It is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure that their quotation clearly demonstrates their ability to perform these requirements.

Schedule of Supplies and Services

The United States Coast Guard (USCG), Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), Industrial Operations Division has a requirement for the upgrade of the Siemens Rinse Water Delivery System (SRWDS) to increase safety.

Phase 1 Requirements:

- Add visual and audible alert signaling adjacent to plating area entrance.

- Add database and programming to turn on both visual and audible signals when any rinse tank high level indication is reached.

- Provide alarm station adjacent to entry door with a push to silence input that will stop the audible alarm until the alarm condition clears. Visual signal will remain continuous until the alarm condition at the rinse tank(s) has been cleared. The overflow/spill alarm level sensors will also be programmed to provide the same visual and audible signals.

- Work to include low voltage (24V AC/DC) power, control cabling, and conduit as needed from the existing control panel to the. alarm visual/audible signaling appliances and push to silence station. Wiring to be free-strung plenum rated cable above concealed and accessible drop ceiling (e.g. water treatment area).

- Wiring to be run in EMT /conduit for any exposed locations, i.e. wall area where devices are to be mounted. Excludes the use of explosion proof or drip proof enclosures. All conduit or junction/pull boxes to be NEMA 1 devices.

- Includes project coordination, alarm signaling devices, point database adds, point trending, commissioning, updates to existing graphic, and a briefwalkthrough for final turnover and completion.

- Includes nominal check out of high-level alarms for operational checks.

- Provide, mount, and wire an alarm signal tower light (amber color lens) and audible horn

(adj. from 70-90dB). Single tier stack light (amber) and audible alarm. Wall mounted at minimum 80 inches above the finished floor. To be powered by Class 2 24V AC/DC.

- Provide, mount, and wire alarm indication station adjacent to door leading into the plating area. This station will include a small alarm light, an audible horn (80 dB), and a push to silence button. Wall mounted height of 48 inches above finished floor. To be powered by Class 2 24V AC/DC.

- Provide and run low voltage control wiring from existing Building Management System (BMS) field panel located in electrical room adjacent to RO water system. Plenum rated· low voltage wire to be run exposed above the drop ceiling (concealed and accessible locations) in the RO water system room. EMT Conduit (steel) to be provided for areas exposed to mechanical/physical damage. e.g. Conduit to be used on "shop" side of wall.

- Provide additional BMS Inputs/Outputs for use in existing panel as needed.

- Provide and mount an additional 24V AC/DC Class 2 power transformer if for new devices.

- Wall penetrations will be sleeved as needed.

- See "Inclusions" for further details regarding

- All work in this phase shall be performed without interruptions to the US Coast Guard operations.

Phase 2 Requirements:

- Re-verify operation of tank high level and overflow/spill switches and inputs. Investigate and verify flow meters and three-way control valve operation. Based upon findings, make recommendations on switch level changes/adjustments/adds and corrective actions for proper flow meter, three-way control valve, and level switch operation.

- The RO water system controls the cycling of the rinse water pumps. The Siemens BAS control system cannot control the rinse water pumps directly. The Sieme.ns BAS can only monitor pump status and issue an emergency stop command to the RO water controller.

- Create and adjust program for control via rinse water tank high level alarms. Create program and adjustcontrol of rinse water three-way control valves based upon high level alarms. Program Emergency Stop RO system operation based upon high level alarms.

- Assessment and recommendations for changes and additions to operation and control based upon Phase 1 & 2 changes, findings, and further input from Plating Shop operation team. Re-commission by functional checks of level switch operation from device to BMS input module. Check input wire and terminations for breaks/damage/corrosion. Re-commission control valve operation by verifying full motion movement from closed to operation. Insure fail-safe position of valve (if applicable).

- Flow meters will be checked to ensure signals received at BMS vary as flow varies. If available, obtain verified TAB (Test and Balance) readings of flow meters. Compare flow meter readings to documented TAB readings. Pipework does not appear to contain any devices for flow rate verification. Proper calibration of flow meters may require return to manufacturer. Siemens suggests the use of a company certified to perform TAB procedures to accurately determine flows. Check and insure fluid compatibility with flow meters. (Meters are polypropylene lined and should be compatible with numerous fluids.)

- Alter control sequence of three-way control valve operation. Ensure operation does not interfere with RO system operation and when valves are placed in a RO bypass mode (tank re-circulation).

- Programming changes as indicated under "Inclusions" listed below.

- Provide documentation with notes for all re-commissioned devices.

- Closeout - Assemble all documentation and review with USCG-EC personnel. Review findings and obtain feedback from all parties. Provide possible solutions with a focus on simpler and practical operations and system design recommendations.

Price: Offers shall include pricing for the items listed in Attachment 2 “Schedule of Supplies and Services – 70Z03825QK0000014” of this solicitation. Offers shall also include the product’s description along with detailed specifications, product characteristics, processing/handling guidance, illustrations, pictures, and other information sufficient to enable the Contracting Officer to determine that the quoted product meets the requirements of the SOW. The Contracting Officer is not responsible for locating or obtaining any information not identified in the offer.

Evaluation Method: The Offeror shall provide pricing for the upgrade of the SRWDS to include installation, start-up support and supplies as detailed in the Schedule of Supplies and Services.

Any discounts for prompt payment should be included in this section. Only the lowest priced offer will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. Should the lowest priced offer not receive an acceptable technical or past performance rating, the process will continue in order of lowest priced offer until the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer is identified. The Offeror’s quotation will be evaluated using one or more of the techniques defined in FAR 13.106-3, in order to determine if pricing is fair and reasonable.
