Description

The Government intends to replace the aged process air heater and associated remote control panel, liquid rheostat, transformer, and switchgear with a modernized system capable of meeting operational demands. The Government also intends to modify the building where the existing equipment resides to accommodate space and access requirements.

The existing process air heater, liquid rheostat system, transformer, and switchgear are over 60 years old and pose significant safety risks, including arc flash hazards. The heater leaks cooling water internally and does not reach the required temperature output. Several elements within the 13-element bundles are not functioning.

See attached for additional information.

Background
The Department of the Air Force, specifically the Headquarters Air Force Test Center at Edwards Air Force Base, California, is seeking to modernize its operational capabilities by replacing outdated equipment. The existing process air heater and associated systems are over 60 years old, posing significant safety risks and operational inefficiencies.

The goal of this contract is to ensure the new system meets current operational demands while addressing safety concerns.

Work Details
The contractor will be responsible for replacing the aged process air heater along with its remote control panel, liquid rheostat, transformer, and switchgear. Additionally, modifications to the building housing this equipment will be necessary to accommodate new space and access requirements.

The existing systems have been identified as having multiple failures: the heater leaks cooling water internally, fails to reach required temperature outputs, and several elements within the 13-element bundles are non-functional. The contractor must provide technical rationale demonstrating their capability to meet these requirements and may need to identify relevant past contracts that showcase their experience with similar projects.

Place of Performance
The work will be performed at Edwards Air Force Base in California.
