The Army Corps of Engineers, Philadelphia District, is interested in awarding (1) contract for a Tank Level Indicator System on the Dredge McFarland.
The period of performance will be for the installation and successful testing of the new system 90 days from the Notice to Proceed.
THE REQUIREMENT OVERVIEW
The Contractor will make upgrades to the Control Room's monitoring equipment for the existing Tank Level Indicator System, while making the optimum use of the existing system equipment, namely the in-tank equipment. It is intended to eliminate the Control Room meters and the need for calibration as well as to maximize the alarm functionality.
EXISTING SYSTEM:
The existing Tank Level Indication system consists of all of the equipment necessary to monitor 30 individual tanks aboard the Dredge MCFARLAND. All of the in-tank equipment are Gems Sensors.
The Control Room equipment consists of two-(2) panels of 15 meters each. Each panel is (Height-32.25 quote mark X Width-24.5 quote mark X Depth-13). Each meter has a low level alarm light and a high level alarm light. Each panel has an integrated audible alarm to sound in conjunction with any of those thirty-(30) alarm situations (60 alarm situations when considering both panels).
Each panel has an alarm audible acknowledge button to clear whatever audible alarm condition is present.
THE NEW REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATIONS:
*Automate the real time indication of contents of all thirty-(30) tanks simultaneously displayed on Control Room screen/screens in the same location as they currently exist.
*Provide High and Low level alarm functions for each tank.
*Provide Audible and Visual alarm annunciation, clearly indicating alarm situation and tank involved.
*Provide the ability to acknowledge audible and visual alarms separately, but if the alarm condition self clears, the audible and visual alarm will not clear until acknowledged.
*Provide for the ability to program and set alarm time delay individually for each tank so as to account for nuisance tripping during swash conditions around alarm set point.
*System components should be industry standard, as quote mark commercial off the shelf' as possible in order to increase maintainability of the system. Replacement components should be easily obtainable.
*Provide three-(3) copies of all plans, drawings, operating manuals and component cut sheets after contract award and completion of system installation
*Provide a list of recommended spare parts and associated pricing with the design documentation.
*Provide training to the Ship's crew in all aspects of system operation, to include troubleshooting for repair.
