Air Compressor N6660425Q0140
Summary
AI-generated · Aug 23, 2025Procure and install a lubricated air compressor system (approximately 240 cfm) with an integrated dryer and filtration to deliver ISO 8573-1 Class 2.4.2 air quality at the discharge. The compressor discharge must be 1.5" copper Type L piping tied into the existing 2" header, with a new union and isolation valve. The compressor will operate at 460/3/60 V and the dryer at 230/1/60 V, with a new dryer that includes a 1.0 μm prefilter and a 0.01 μm afterfilter. Oil-lubricated equipment is acceptable, with the oil carryover deemed unavoidable; the oil-free requirement is satisfied by the post-dryer system meeting the specified ISO air quality. The scope includes installation, startup, and connection to the current plant layout and piping.
The contract includes a one-year warranty with annual preventive maintenance, plus three additional years of maintenance under the SOW (four years total). Bids must provide a labor matrix, but total labor hours per year may not exceed 40 hours; offerors may add labor categories as needed to perform the work. Maintenance costs are based on 4,000 hours of operation per year, with expected use at 16 hours per day. Site access requires a ground-height overhead door, clear aisles, and NUWC Newport forklift access to move the compressor (if available); otherwise the contractor must provide their own forklift. A mandatory site visit will review conditions and finalize arrangements.
Please see attached documentation for all details about this opportunity. AMENDMENT 0001- June 9, 2025 This solicitation is amended to correct a typographical error on the solicitation and to answer questions from Industry. 1. In the RFQ, page 2, where the labor matrix referred to the "full five (5) years" the document is corrected to read "full three (3) years". The amended document N6660425Q0140-0001 is added to this notice. 2. The specification document is corrected to remove the words "oil free". 3. The Site Visit document is revised to correct the contact email address for the Visit Control Center to: nuwc_npt_access_control@navy.mil 4. QUESTION: On the Combined Synopsis and Solicitation document, there is a request for a labor matrix. Is the matrix shown the preferred style? ANSWER: The offeror may propose additional labor categories as required to perform the SOW tasking. Total labor hours for the year shall not exceed 40 hours. 5. QUESTION: The request on this document is for 5 years, but the SOW is for 3 years after the1 year warranty period. Presuming we are servicing during the first year of operation also, I see that as 4 years total. Am I reading one of the documents incorrectly? ANSWER: RFQ document updated to three (years), per Answer 1 above. Warranty under CLIN 0001, for year one (1), shall include annual preventive maintenance services. 6. QUESTION: The bid asks for maintenance costs for three years. Maintenance on Sullair air compressors is based on hours of operation. Do you know how many hours per year the compressor operates? One shift (8 hours/day), two shifts (16 hours per day ), three shifts (24 hours per day) or 24/7. A single shift is approximately 2,000 hours. Need to know this to quote maintenance costs. ANSWER: 16 hours/day. 7. QUESTION: The performance 240 cfm is the performance of a lubricated air compressor not an oil free compressor. An oil free 50 hp air compressor only delivers about 216 cfm. Please confirm if want an Oil Free air compressor. ANSWER: A lubricated air compressor is acceptable. Oil carryover is unavoidable for lubricated air compressors. The requirement for oil free air is that the discharge from the proposed system (compressor, dryer and filter) achieve ISO 8573-1 Air Quality 2.4.2 as the current system provides. The Specifications document has been updated, per Answer 2 above. AMENDMENT 0002- June 16, 2025 Amended to incluse questions and answers from Industry. 1. QUESTION: Compressor discharge to be 1.5" type L copper tubing using existing Kaeser discharge line to the 2" copper header. New union and isolation valve will be installed. ANSWER: Yes. 2. QUESTION: Voltage of compressor is 460/3/60. Dryer voltage is 230/1/60 ANSWER: Yes. 3. QUESTION: New dryer to include a 1.0u (micron) prefilter and a .01u (micron) afterfilter ANSWER: Yes. 4. QUESTION: Access to building is thru the ground height overhead door on the side of the building. ANSWER: Yes. 5. QUESTION: Aisleways to be free and clear of obstructions when we arrive to place compressor. ANSWER: Yes. 6. QUESTION: Use of NUWC Newport fork truck to move the compressor from the overhead door area to the compressor room is allowed. ANSWER: Operated by NUWC personnel, otherwise Contractor must provide their own. 7. QUESTION: New dryer bypass and piping to include Gardner Denver discharge will be 2" copper tubing type L. ANSWER: Yes. 8. QUESTION: Maintenance costs are based on 4,000 hours of operation annually. ANSWER: Yes.
