REQUIREMENT: This notice is issued by the U.S. Coast Guard, Surface Forces Logistics Center Long Range Enforcer Product Line, Alameda, CA to identify sources capable of providing the following: It is the Government's intention to solicit the requirements for Contractor to the upgrade USCGC BERTHOLF (WSML-750) 450V ship service switchboards, originally supplied by CPS, to replace obsolete and unavailable components with the hardware and configuration design currently used on NSC-9AF. This work item describes the requirements for the Contractor to upgrade following equipment in each Ship Service Switchboard (i.e. 1S, 2S and 3S of CGC BERTHOLF) including all electrical wiring, connections, and software as needed for proper operation of the new equipment. Work includes, but is not limited to the following: - Remove Voltage Regulators (i.e. Digital Excitation Control System, Basler Model DECS-200) and replace with new Voltage Regulators (i.e. Digital Excitation Control System, Basler Model DECS-250). Load settings file for each AVR. - Remove Programmable Logic Controller (i.e. Siemens Model S7-200 PLC and I/O expansion modules) and replace with new Programmable Logic Controller (i.e. Siemens Model S7-1200 PLC, serial communications module, Profibus communications module, and I/O expansion modules). Load latest version of PLC software for each switchboard PLC. - Remove Anybus AB7000 Modbus to Profibus gateway and associated serial cable. Terminate ship's MCMS Profibus serial cable that was connected to Anybus gateway directly to the S7-1200 PLC profibus communications module 3A1A1A. - Remove Digital Synchronizer Load Controls (i.e. Woodward Model DSLC) / Master Synchronizer Load Controls (i.e. Woodward Model MSLC) and replace with new Digital Synchronizer Load Controls (i.e. Woodward Model DSLC-2) / Master Synchronizer Load Controls (i.e. Woodward Model MSLC-2). Load settings files for each device, fine tune tunable settings during commissioning for synchronization and load sharing. - Remove Woodward Local Operating Network (LON) termination switches and associated synchronizing network cabling. Replace with a dual redundant fiber optic ring connected to a network switch located in each switchboard. - Make relays 3K1, 3K24, 3K26, 31K2, 31K3, 32K2, 33K2 into spares, removing all control wiring except coil A2 (power return) to ground. - Modify relay 35K2 contact wiring. - Prefabricate (structure, component mounting, and wiring) new Unit 3 control section doors of each switchboard to accommodate the new voltage regulators and re-mounting existing devices of switchboard. - Prefabricate (structure, component mounting, and wiring) and install new rear door and filler plate for Unit 2 of the 3S Switchboard in place of the existing upper access cover. - Prefabricate (structure, component mounting, and wiring) and install new Unit 3 control section interior subpanel in place of the existing. - Run new Ethernet cables from each PLC, DSLC-2, MSLC-2 and front door access port to the local MOXA managed switch. - Modify wiring from 1S and 2S switchboard to shore power MSLC-2 run command for local 1S and 2S shore power control (Re-purpose existing conductor from another cable) - Modify all existing switchboard wiring for new NSC-9AF design. Modify wiring based off Contractor developed WAS/IS wire list indicating wires that will remain as is, wire that will be moved, wire that will be deleted and new wire required to be added. - For No.3 SSDG Switchboard. (i.e. Unit 3), prefabricate and install new Rear Door to mount new MSLC-2. ANTICIPATED PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: The specific delivery schedule shall be determined at a later date.
