PART 1 - GENERAL

1.01 OVERVIEW

The Technical Service Center’s (TSC) Hydraulic Investigations and Laboratory Services group apply hydraulic modeling, analysis, and field-testing expertise to solve a variety of water resources, hydraulics, and fluid mechanics problems. Large, scaled models of stilling basins, gates and valves, spillway and spillway erosion models, etc, are constructed to assist and analyze real time situations. Water to run the models is recirculated through a 240,000-gallon sump and is continuously treated with ozone to disinfect the recirculated water. The current system is over 30 years old and has exceeded its 20-year design life. Over the past 13 years periodic maintenance has been keeping the existing equipment operational. Recently, the company that manufactured the original equipment and provided the replacement parts for both degraded and consumed components closed its doors. No alternative source was provided to source replacement parts or consumables. The existing system is currently operating at half capacity and is unable to be repaired.

The existing system in comprised of 1 ozone generation station with 24 UV ozone tubes that feed four water discharge locations and 4 air sparger locations in the laboratory sump. The system also includes two sand filters (can stay), two variable speed pool pumps (can stay), six air pumps (can stay), and the associated PVC piping to deliver the air and water ozone to the laboratory sump. All the equipment is housed in a 10-ft x 20-ft space. The ozone generation is a small subset of this and should fit within a 4-ft x 5-ft x 7-ft (l x w x h) space.

The Purchase Request is for a replacement for the existing ozone system. Any components that can be re-used (filters and pumps) are encouraged where possible.

Design basis has a total water volume of 240,000 gallons and a circulation rate of 200 gpm (Dual 100 gpm filtration loops). Each filtration loop will have independent ozone injection production and injection skid mounted equipment. Each ozone system will monitor water ORP (oxidation reduction potential) and control ozone to a desired operator setpoint.

B. Ozone design requires a 0.42 mg/L to each 100 gpm filtration loop flow. Each ozone injection system shall have dissolution tank, off gas collection and off gas destruction of ozone prior to sending the flow back to the filtration line. No bubbles shall be recirculated or directed back to the process.

C. Contractor shall remove and dispose off-site existing UV equipment, replace with new ozone equipment

(two skids) and integrate into existing PVC plumbing configuration. Provide each ozone unit with integrated isolation valves.

D. Contractor is responsible for full electrical integration from Connect power to existing breaker panel in compliance with local and federal codes as required.

E. Submit technical information, build, test, deliver, install, and provide written warranty for the equipment of at least once year from acceptance.

F. Ozone gas generator shall have off-gas destruct device, ambient ozone monitoring, safety equipment, and other related equipment as specified herein.

G. Install one Ambient Ozone Monitor external of the ozone generators at the ozone injectors/contactors. Provide a remote alarm panel for visual indication of an ozone fault occurrence along with signage indicating ozone leak detected.

H. All equipment shall be in conformance with all local, state and federal codes, statutes and ordinances, including required Underwriter Laboratory (U.L.) approval.

I. A virtual site visit prior to quote submission is recommended although not required to confirm any questions or design verification of existing and desired new ozone equipment. A virtual site visit will be coordinated through Microsoft Teams. Email ebradford@usbr.gov to request an invitation to the Teams virtual site visit.

The virtual site visit will be scheduled for Tuesday, June 6, 2023, at 1:00pm MT.

(3) The Contractor’s employees governed by this contract may need access to sensitive information and/or sensitive areas.

(7) All Contractor employees shall access the facility via the facility’s entry screening system and visibly display the Government-issued PIV Card, temporary identification card, or visitor identification badge at all times.

Contractor employees must visibly wear the Government-issued identification card at all times they are on Government facilities.
