CLIN 0001: Fabrication and installation of a new Air Dryer Platform/Foundation and Air Dryer

(vi) Description of requirements for the items to be acquired: The NOAA ship Pisces requires fabrication and installation of a new platform/foundation for the vessel's air dryer.

Vendor will need to tag-out the existing air compressors and air dryer. The existing air dryer will need to be removed along with existing associated wiring and piping. Vendor will then need to fabricate and install a new platform for the existing mounting frame which the air compressors and air dryer are currently mounted to. The platform will need to be vibration-isolated from the frame so the replacement air dryer does not sustain damage from continual vibration produced by the air compressors. Vendor will need to re-connect associated wiring and modify/reconnect intake and discharge piping for the new air dryer. As a part of installing the new air dryer, the existing air compressor start/stop controllers may need to be relocated.

Vendor will need to paint the new platform and refinish any disturbed surfaces with PPG Amercoat 229 or equivalent marine-grade epoxy enamel. Any insulation removed or disturbed during installation will also need replaced.

The government has already purchased and will be providing the Beko RAHT100 Air Dryer. Vendor will need to provide materials and vibration mounts for the platform, stainless steel hardware for installation of the air dryer and platform, and new stainless steel-jacketed air hoses for the air dryer inlet and discharge. Hoses shall be rated for a minimum of 500PSI. Air compressors shall be tested after installation of the new air dryer on the new platform. See Statement of Work for additional details.

(vii) Vendor will need to be ABS certified for maritime welding and fabrication aboard marine vessels.

(vii) Date(s) and place(s) of performance and acceptance.
