(j) Operators Desk: a writing platform to log in the boiler check and conditions.

(k) Fresh water hose bib

(l) 120V GFCI electrical receptacle

(m) Fresh air exhaust fan

(n) Burner combustion air louvers

(o) Liquefied propane to be fed into the trailer, which will pass throught the varporizer and then to the boiler.

(p) provide vaporized propane connection to the exterior of the trailer.

(q) Return condensate coming back to the trailer is not required.

(r) Emissions/noise limitations are to be based on factory recommendations.

1. The van trailer is listed as 35'. This is a non-standard van trailer length but 53' is a standard length.

I just wanted to confirm that this was not a misprint.

ANSWER: 40 FT MAXIMUM.

2. Am I correct in assuming that you will be feeding liquefied propane into the trailer, which will pass through the vaporizer, and then to the boiler?

ANSWER: YES.

a. Will the vaporized propane need to feed any other equipment besides the portable boiler system?

ANSWER: NO

b. IE Do you want a vaporized propane connection on the exterior of the trailer?

ANSWER: YES

3. Do you know what percentage of condensate return will be coming back to the trailer?

ANSWER: RETURN CONDENSATE NOT REQUIRED.

4. Do you know what pressure the boiler itself will operate at? This is necessary to correctly size the Spirax Sarco steam valve for pre-heating the feedwater.

ANSWER: YES. 10 PSI TO 125 PSI.

5. I noticed that a water softener was not included in the specification. A water softener is normally considered necessary to prevent the boiler from being fouled. Is this something you would be interested in?

ANSWER: NO, A WATER SOFTENER IS NOT REQUIRED.

6. Are they any emissions/NOx limitations that the burner will need to adhere to?

ANSWER: EMMISSIONS AND NOISE LIMITATIONS ARE TO BE BASED ON FACTORY

RECOMMENDATIONS.

7. Would you consider an ISO shipping container mounted to a chassis rather than a van trailer? This would result in a higher quality unit for NAVFAC due to structural limitations of van trailers. It would also present better lashing options for protection against seismic disturbances.

ANSWER: NO, PLEASE PROVIDE TRAILER AS SPECIFIED.

8. Will you require a technician to visit NAVFAC for training and/or commissioning?

ANSWER: CONTRACTOR SHALL PROVIDE FOR OPERATIONAL TESTING AT DESTINATION.

9. The specification calls for an Apache Model 8-5-400-S150 boiler with a Powerflame burner. It does not state or equal as it does on some of the other equipment. Does that mean than we cannot bid a similar boiler from another manufacturer with the same specifications as this boiler or is it required that we bid this boiler only?

ANSWER: “OR EQUAL” WAS INADVERTENTLY OMITTED. PLEASE SEE REVISED SALIENT

CHARACTERISTICS.

2. MOBILE TRAILER: The MSPT unit shell consists of a new WABASH Freight Pro Dry Van Trailer or EQUAL;

Maximum: length 40’, height 10’, width 9’; tandem axle; air service brakes; lighting system that meets DOT requirements; road operable; equipped with a 4 foot by 6 foot 8 inch side door with ladder (street side).

3. OPERATING & MAINTENANCE MANUALS: Three (3) sets of manuals with general arrangement, Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P & ID), and electrical drawings at time of delivery.

4. Contractor to provide operational testing of the boilers at destination.

5. SPARE PARTS: 90 day boiler service kit to support unit operation.

AND

Factor 3 – Price.

Submission Requirements and Evaluation:

Factor 1 –Submit specifications and drawings for the portable boiler system that clearly show that your product meets or exceeds the salient characteristics stated in Attachment 1. If you do not submit drawings and specifications in sufficient detail to allow for a comprehensive evaluation, your quote will be evaluated Unacceptable.

Factor 1 - Experience

Rating Description

Acceptable (A) Product clearly meets or exceeds the minimum specifications.

Unacceptable (U) Product does not clearly meet the minimum specifications.

Factor 2 – Do not submit past performance information. The Government will access the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) to obtain past performance information on your firm’s performance record for the delivery of water storage tanks, utilizing the DUNS number obtained from the Systems for Award Management (SAM) website. If no past performance information is available, Factor 2 will be evaluated Neutral, which is considered Acceptable. If your firm has less than Satisfactory performance evaluations in PPIRS, you may submit acceptable explanations for the ratings for the Government’s consideration. Acceptable explanations will result in an Acceptable rating for Past Performance.

Factor 2 – Past Performance

Ratings Description

Acceptable (A) Based on the performance records, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the quoter will successfully deliver the water storage tanks or the quoter’s performance record is unknown (see definition below).

Unacceptable (U) Based on the performance records, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the quoter will be able to successfully deliver the water storage tanks.

Unknown (UNK) In the case of a quoter without a record of past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the quoter may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the quoter shall be determined to have Unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, Unknown shall be considered ‘Acceptable.”

In order to be evaluated overall Acceptable, a rating of Acceptable shall be obtained for both Factors 1 and 2. If either one or both are rated Unacceptable, the entire technical quote will be rated Unacceptable and will be removed from further consideration for award.

Price. The Government will evaluate all prices received from the lowest to the highest. Price shall include shipping to Building 44, JBPHH, Hawaii.

The Government will take the five lowest quotes received and evaluate the corresponding technical factors for acceptability.

Should the Government identify one quote that represents the lowest priced technically acceptable quote, the Government may make an award as long as the total evaluated price can be determined fair and reasonable. Should there be no technically acceptable quote among the first five lowest quotes, the Government will evaluate the next five lowest quotes for technical acceptability. The Government will continue this method of evaluation until a quote is evaluated to be the lowest priced technically acceptable quote with a reasonable price.

Award will only be made to a firm that is determined to be responsible in accordance with FAR Part 9.

Submission Requirements: By submission of a quote, the quoter agrees to all requirements contained in this solicitation.

Offerors shall include with their quotes the following, as well as any additional information and certifications with reference to the provisions contained herein:

1) A price for CLIN 0001.

2) Submission of specifications and drawings documenting that the portable boiler system meets or exceeds the salient characteristics stated in Attachment 1. Failure to submit specifications and drawings will render a quote Unacceptable.

3) Point of contact name, phone number, and email address. CAGE and DUNS numbers. Business size.

Discount payment terms, if any.

4) A completed copy of 52.212-3 and its ALT I (Attachment 2). If the quoter has completed the annual representations and certification electronically via the System for Award Management (SAM) Web Site, the quoter shall only complete paragraph (b) of this provision. If the quoter fails to submit a completed Attachment 2, the quote may be evaluated Unacceptable.

5) A completed copy of FAR 52.209-11, (Attachment 3). If the quoter fails to submit a completed Attachment 3, the quote may be evaluated Unacceptable.

6) A completed copy of FAR 52.204-20, (Attachment 4). If the quoter fails to submit a completed Attachment 4, the quote may be evaluated Unacceptable
