Description SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE
Revitalize Medium Voltage Electrical Distribution Systems, Industrial and Payload Processing Areas. INTRODUCTION
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) at the John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC) is soliciting information about potential sources for the Revitalize Medium Voltage Electrical Distribution Systems, Industrial and Payload Processing Areas at Kennedy Space Center, Florida 32899. Small business vendors having the capabilities necessary to meet or exceed the stated requirements are invited to submit capability packages, appropriate documentation and references. The NAICS code for this effort is 237130, titled “Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction”, and the small business size standard is $33.5 million. The estimated price range of this project is between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000.
SCOPE OF WORK
The work to be performed under this project consists of providing all labor, equipment, materials, tools, test equipment, specialized services, and subcontracts to revitalize various medium and low voltage power systems in the KSC Industrial Area.
The work includes but is not limited to the following:
1. Demolition, replacement, and installation of underground low and medium voltage cable systems, to 15kV class, including installation in underground duct systems, manholes, cable trays, and conduit systems. Use of personnel certified in complex cable splices while wearing arc-flash personnel protective equipment in manholes.
2. Installing new and replacing various 15kV load break switches with SF6 insulated pad-mounted switchgear of the vacuum interrupter and vault style load break types.
3. Demolition and replacement of existing 4160V (5 to 10 MVA class, double-ended) outdoor substations while maintaining continuous operations in a critical facility.
4. Demolition and replacement of existing outdoor 480V substation equipment including the planning and execution of work sequences to minimize power outages to the substation critical loads.
5. Site work (excavation, backfill, concrete, bollards, de-watering, directional boring, etc.) associated with underground electrical work and electrical equipment installation including wind rated foundation design large electrical transformers and outdoor substation enclosures.
6. Hazardous material sampling and abatement (paint, oil, and asbestos).
7. Switchgear control power, instrument/metering, and transfer control systems including the use of programmable logic controllers and Schweitzer Engineering protective relay systems. Networking of metering, programmable logic controllers, and protective relays for customized remote monitoring and control. Providing detailed as-built wiring and software documentation for all such systems.
8. Power system analysis, coordination studies, arc-flash studies, and protective relay settings. Performance of electrical safety hazard analysis, detailed job hazard analysis, and use of electrical personnel protective equipment, arc-flash and shock prevention.
9. Power system equipment testing and validation including factory testing, customized field testing, and NETA testing.
