Che cosa richiede la stazione appaltante

THIS NOTICE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A REQUEST FOR EITHER A QUOTE OR PROPOSAL, OR AN INVITATION FOR A BID. THE INTENT OF THIS SOURCES SOUGHT IS TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL OFFERORS TO RECAPITALIZE THE NAVY’S HIGH VOLTAGE (230KV) TRANSMISSION LOOP AND ALL ANCILLARY EQUIPMENT AND GEAR AT NAVAL SUBMARINE BASE (NSB) KINGS BAY, GEORGIA, IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE NAVAL AND UTILITY PROVIDER PHYSICAL AND CYBERSECURITY REQUIREMENTS WITH SEAMLESS COORDINATION AND SINGLE POINT OF ACCOUNTABILITY FOR EXECUTION WITHOUT UNNECESSARY SERVICE DISRUPTIONS, DELAYS, OR ADVERSE IMPACTS ASSOCIATED WITH COORDINATION OF REQUIREMENTS BETWEEN BULK POWER FEED AND INTERNAL POWER DISTRIBUTION AND ALLOCATION. NO SOLICITATION, SPECIFICATIONS OR DRAWINGS ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. The purpose of this notice is to gain knowledge of qualified and interested participants in any of the following categories: large business; small business; U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) certified 8(a) business development participants; SBA certified HUBZone small business concerns; service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) concerns; veteran-owned small business (VOSB) concerns; and women-owned small business (WOSB) concerns. Potential sources should have current relevant qualifications, specialized experience, security-cleared personnel, security approvals, equipment, financial capability, and cybersecurity certifications and expertise relative to the project. The project entails the wholesale recapitalization and cybersecurity hardening of the 230kV electrical power transmission loop at NSB Kings Bay, Georgia. This is a military sensitive installation key to the nuclear deterrent mission and the utility infrastructure to be recapitalized, along with all systems, must be seamlessly connected to the 230kV grid line owned and operated by Georgia Power Company (GPC). Prior experience in interconnection and coordination with the utility provider will be considered an essential requirement when vetting viable experience. Specialized capabilities currently assumed to rest solely with the utility provider are considered essential for the timely and cost-effective completion of the project without coordination delays, interoperability concerns, and unforeseen adverse impacts in the integration and management of the project execution and subsequent receipt and transmission of power to the base tenants and supported commanders. Therefore, the project is being considered for procurement under other than full and open competition as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.103-1 with the regulated utility service provider. This acquisition may result in the award of a design-build type (DB) effort for the wholesale recapitalization and cybersecurity hardening of the high voltage transmission line and associated gear at NSB Kings Bay, Georgia. Work will include relocation of the high power loop and crossing tower across the North River to a geotechnically stable site; replacement of conductors along the primary transmission corridor ensuring cybersecurity consistent with proprietary technology of the utility provider to eliminate vulnerabilities and ensure continued provision of power leading to thermal capacity for Columbia-class shore power loads; replacement of closed circuit television (CCTV) metering transformers with fault monitoring capability; replacement of porcelain insulators, high-voltage bushings, surge arrestors, and ground-grid bonding systems ensuring compatibility with incoming power feed loads and feeds; removal of manual or gang-operated air disconnect switches at the entry bays of Substations 1 – 3; installation of smart, supervisory-controlled Motor-Operated Disconnects (MODs) and vacuum/ SF6 circuit breakers equipped with high-speed differential bus and transformer protection schemes; and wholesale modernization of substation digital protective relays utility-grade devices with full integration of encrypted Supervisory Control and Data…
