“Masters of Space, Home of the 50th Space Wing!”
BACKGROUND:
The 50th Civil Engineer Squadron is seeking proposals to replace three mission essential systems in building 600, Central Utility Plant (CUP). (1) Replace the existing transformers, CT-1, CT-4, CT-7, CT-2, CT-5, & CT-8, common generator grounding resistor, interconnecting lines, and grounding system in the transformer yard. (2) Replace eight roof mounted exhaust fans connected to seven wall louvers controlled by thermostats located in the power generation system area. (3) Replace the existing obsolete models Woodward synchronizers, load controllers, custom PLC based generator controller, and the generator operator Human Machine Interface (HMI) computer and programming.
1.1. Transformer and Common Generator Grounding.
The six (6) transformers provide electrical power for mission critical HVAC equipment such as chillers, water pumps, boiler, and cooling towers in CUP. The common generator grounding resistor prevents damage to the generators by minimizing fault currents during electrical faults because the medium-voltage (MV) generators are not designed to withstand full fault current during an electrical fault. The existing transformers, common generator grounding resistor, interconnecting lines, circuit breakers, grounding system and other components are 20 to 30 years over their life expectancies and are in need of immediate lifecycle replacement. Symptoms of failing transformer and common generator grounding resistor have been noticed such as abnormally high temperatures due to defects on the forced cooling fans, and oil leaks in gaskets and valves. In addition, recent installation of Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) on the chillers creates harmonic currents in the power supplying system requiring K-factor transformers. K-factor transformers are designed to withstand the heating effects of harmonic currents created by loads like VFDs.
It is essential to replace the transformers and common grounding resistor to ensure uninterrupted reliable power to the mission critical HVAC equipment and to prevent failure of the power generating system.
Refer to the transformer drawings, for specific design and requirements.
1.2. Replacement of Roof Exhaust Fans and Wall Louvers.
` Schriever AFB has seven (7) generators in the CUP that provide backup power to the base. There are eight
(8) roof mounted exhaust fans connected to seven (7) wall louvers that turn on when generator room temperature reaches a certain level. In 2009, three (3) of the generators were replaced with new Caterpillar generators. During startup testing, a high bearing temperature alarm was activated. Initial observations from Wagner Power Systems showed improper and insufficient air flow. Initial calculations also show that the existing exhaust fans may be too small to provide adequate airflow. It is essential to replace roof-mounted exhaust fans, wall louvers, louver actuators, and thermostats to maintain cool temperatures in the power generation area.
Refer to the exhaust fans design analysis and drawings, for specific design and requirements.
1.3. Replace of Generator Synchronizers and Load Controllers.
Generator Synchronizers connect emergency power generators to the utility grid through the process of line-synchronization which amounts to generating voltages and phase that match the grid so that the machine can be electrically connected. Load Controllers provide load control across the base electrical system by operating intertie circuit breakers over an Ethernet communication network to control complex generator system.
The existing Generator Synchronizers and Load Controllers are over 20 years old Woodward Generator Synchronizers and Load Controllers which have not been produced by the manufacturer for seven (7) years.
Repair parts for the equipment are no longer available. Some of the current synchronizers have failed resulting in Schriever AFB not being able to synchronize the seven generators with utility power. It is vital to update the equipment to provide fail-safe emergency power to the base critical missions in the absence of utility power. Replacement of nine (9) Woodward synchronizers and four (4) load controllers with new modern models, programming synchronizers and load controllers, and interconnection wiring updates are required to complete this modernization and replacement work.

The following is a breakdown of all required information that deals with the transport, use and disposal of any hazardous chemicals and waste materials on or from the installation. The Contractor will be further briefed on the SAFB Hazardous Waste Management Plan at the pre-performance conference.
7.2.1. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
15 | P a g e
“Masters of Space, Home of the 50th Space Wing!”
Contractors using any type of hazardous materials (HM) on SAFB must comply with the review and approval process and shall provide the Contracting Officer (CO) with a list of proposed materials that it plans to use on the installation during the performance of the contract.
7.2.2. At least 30 days prior to the contract start date, the Contractor shall provide to the CO a copy of the 3952 Form, SAFB Hazardous Material Tracking Form - Material and Approval Submittal, listing all materials that will be utilized during the contract period as well as the current Safety Data Sheet (SDS). The 50 Civil Engineering Squadron Environmental Management Element (50 CES/CEIE) will determine if any of the proposed materials are classified as hazardous and are covered under Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) (42 U.S.C. 11001-11050). If they fall into this category 50 CES/CEIE will issue an authorized use list to the CO for this Contractor.
7.2.3. Once on site the Contractor will report through the CO to the 50 Logistics Readiness Flight (LRF) HM pharmacy located at building 613 to get approved barcode tracking labels for all HM. The Contractor must maintain a file of all SDSs during the performance of this contract. Any HMs not utilized by the Contractor must be taken off SAFB as soon as the project ends.
7.2.4. If additional HM is required during the course of the contract or if there is a change to existing HM, the Contractor shall update the 3952 Form and provide a SDS for each HM through the CO to 50 CES/CEIE. The Contractor shall submit the new authorization request no later than (NLT) 15 days prior to delivery of the HM onto SAFB.
7.2.5. For each Contractor-identified chemical that 50 CES/CEIE determines does not meet the definition of a HM, EPCRA requirements do not apply. 50 CES/CEIE will notify the CO that the Contractor has authorization to bring and use that material on the installation without reporting usage use unless required under Green Procurement Program or specifications requiring data submittals.
7.2.6. The main Contractor is responsible for reporting all sub-contractors HM usage from the date of hire throughout the duration of their contract through the CO to 50 CES/CEIE. No HM, lubricants, oils, liquids or related materials shall be deposited in the refuse containers on the installation.

7.2.8. If the HM request is for a Class I ODS, 50 CES/CEIE will ensure there is an applicable and current Air Force Senior Acquisition Official (SAO) approval for contract Class I ODS requirements before approving the HM authorization and made available to the Contractor. The CO will also maintain a copy of the SAO approval in the contract file as required by AFI 32-7086.

7.2.10. DISPOSAL OF WASTES (NON-HAZARDOUS, SPECIAL, AND HAZARDOUS)
GENERATED
a. The Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan (ISWMP) is a comprehensive approach to managing non-hazardous solid waste. It encompasses waste prevention, recycling, composting, and disposal programs. Through the ISWMP, Air Force installations or facilities seek to determine the most cost effective, energy-efficient, least-polluting ways to deal with their waste streams in order to protect human health and the environment. As applicable, the ISWMP will be briefed to the Contractor.
b. Non-Hazardous Wastes: Non-hazardous solid waste is regulated under 42 U.S. Code Chapter 82 – Solid Waste Disposal - Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Subtitle D, 40 CFR Part 239-259 and set minimum federal criteria for the operation of municipal waste and industrial waste landfills, including design criteria, location restrictions, financial assurance, corrective action (cleanup), and closure requirement. States play a lead role in implementing these regulations and may set more stringent requirements. In absence of an approved state program, the federal requirements must be met by waste facilities.
c. The Contractor shall transport and dispose of all non-hazardous wastes to a permitted facility or other disposal facility permitted by the state in which the disposal facility is located.
d. Special Wastes: Special…
