STATEMENT OF NEED

Ozone System, Installation & 3 Year Ozone Systems Maintenance Service Contract for Ozone Systems at the Woods Hole Science Aquarium

NOAA’s Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) Woods Hole Science Aquarium

Background

NOAA’s Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) at Woods Hole, MA has a requirement for the procurement and installation of an ozonation system (Ozone Generator and Ambient Air Separator) as part of the NEFSC’s marine mammal life support system. The ozone system shall be capable of producing at least 30 grams of ozone per hour. This ozone system services the approximately 20,000-gallon marine mammal system, which houses 1-3 harbor seals at any time.

In addition, the NEFSC has a requirement for regular, yearly maintenance of all onsite ozone systems that sanitize the water used in the NEFSC marine mammal system, the tropical water system, and the cold water system. At least one emergency visit or call per year shall be built into the maintenance contract.

This contract directly supports the NEFSC’s mission of supporting fisheries research, educating the public about marine life and marine science, and conservation of marine life. Home of the Protected Species Branch, housing marine mammals at the NEFSC’s Woods Hole Science Aquarium provides direct outreach to the public.

This contract ensures that the NEFSC is able to provide all resident animals with clean water, as required by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS).

The NEFSC does not have a life support technician and relies on contract support for maintenance and support of all onsite ozone systems.

Attachment A details currently operating onsite equipment brands, model numbers and specifications.

NOAA Fisheries is a federal natural resource science and management agency with authorities over living marine resources in the U.S. EEZ. The Northeast Fisheries Science Center is the research arm of the agency in the region. The Woods Hole Science Aquarium is part of the Northeast Fisheries Science Center, and is the oldest public aquarium in the country.

Objectives

The primary objective of this contract is to procure and install an ozonation system capable of producing 30 grams of ozone per hour in the current NEFSC marine mammal life support system

(LSS).

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1k1LjEDVB2I4m5g7FqTEk1E_cUE8vJK6R/edit?pli=1#heading=h.gjdgxs https://docs.google.com/document/d/1k1LjEDVB2I4m5g7FqTEk1E_cUE8vJK6R/edit?pli=1#heading=h.30j0zll

End products will be part of the NEFSC marine mammal life support system, in conjunction with other system elements. Water clarity for public display of all NEFSC exhibits is achieved through the ozonation systems.

Eliminating, or lowering, the use of chlorine in the marine mammal system during summer months is a long-term goal of the NEFSC. This can be achieved by a more robust ozone system.

A secondary objective of this contract is to establish a yearly maintenance contract for all onsite ozonation systems. This maintenance contract is to be a 3-year term, for one site visit for regular maintenance and one emergency service visit, in the event of a system or component failure. The contractor shall also be capable of instructing WHSA staff members on how to utilize and maintain new or upgraded equipment.

The contractor shall:

TASK 1 - Remove, Replace and Installation of new Ozone System (Ozone Generator and Ambient Air Separator) that services approximately 20,000-gallon marine mammal system to include warranty

TASK 2 - Annual Maintenance
