Speed Fan and Pump Drives

E0226-141284/A

Requirement:  For the provision of variable speed FAN and PUMP
drives and controls (belt driven, variable torque load) on
behalf of Public Works and Government Services Canada,
Summerside, PE. PWGSC intends to enter into a contract with
Hydro Dyne Inc., Dartmouth, NS.

The estimated value of the contract is: $30,096.00 GST/HST
included.

Description:

The drive unit shall be self-contained and include the following:

1.  A constant speed input drive member that is directly mounted
to the motor shaft with a shrink disc shaft locking device.

2.  A variable speed driven output member that rotates freely
without any mechanical connection (other than its own support
bearings).

3.  Output speed is accomplished by varying the amount of
current applied to the drive's rotating coil, which changes the
strength of the magnetic field across an air gap, controlling
the amount of coupling between the two elements.

4.  The AC motor shall be wired to operate continuously at full
speed when the motor contactor is energized.

5.  Torque shall be tranmitted from the electric motor to the
drive's output member via magnetic force across a single air gap.

6.  Power to the rotating coil shall be supplied by a brushless
electrical coupling.

7.  The pulley/sheaves shall be located on the motor shaft-entry
side of the drive nearest the motor face.

8.  All drive bearings must be located directly under the pulley
grooves.

9.  All drives shall incorporate manual mechanical bypass for
full speed emergency lockup capability.

10.  The internal surface of the drive drum shall be copper
lined.

11.  Unit shall be capable of operating continuously at any
output speed from 0 to 100% without causing any increase in
motor heating.

12.  The manufacturer prior to shipment shall test all units at
full rated load and speed for ten continuous hours.

13.  The speed controller in conjunction with the drive shall
meet or exceed FCC Part 15 Subpart J specifications on RFI/EMI
disturbances and the IEEE-519 standards for total harmonic
current distortion.

14.  The speed controller shall not create PWM, six-step or
other audible acoustical noise when operating throuoghout the
entire speed range regardless of full-load or part-load
conditions.

15.  The controller shall be immune to line noise generated by
other electrical equipment.

16.  Each speed controller shall operate on 115 volts AC, 50/60
Hz @ 3 amps, single phase power and provide adjustable voltage
output to the drive.

17.  The controller shall accept current, voltage, or pressure
transducer signal input and shall interface with any energy
BacNet or Lonworks management system.

18.  The controller shall be housed in a NEMA 1 enclosure,
pre-wired with "Man-Off-Auto" selector switch, manual operator
speed potentiometer on the front cover and Speed Meter.

19.  The controller shall also provide independent adjustable
soft-start for preset ramp-up of the drive.

20.  In the event of power failure or momentary interrupt, the
unit shall automatically restart with preset ramp-up when power
is restored to the motor.

21.  CSA approved.

Mandatory Requirements:

Item 1.  Easy-Payback Magnetic-Coupled Variable Speed Belt
Drive, Easy 3 size 22
Item 2.  Easy-Payback Magnetic-Coupled Variable Speed Belt
Drive, Easy 4 size 23
Item 3.  Easy-Payback Magnetic-Coupled Variable Speed Belt
Drive, Easy 5 size 24
Item 4.  Easy-Payback Magnetic-Coupled Variable Speed Belt
Drive, RPCU-RT (*) size 25
Item 5.  Easy-Payback Magnetic-Coupled Variable Speed Belt
Drive, Rotary Power Couplings RPCU-2 size 26
Item 6.  Speed sensors with adjustment clamp S2 size 27

Description:

The reason for single tendering is: Only one firm is capable of
performing the contract.
The items requested are "hard to get", "exact replacement"
parts/components for the "existing" Easy-Payback drive system in
use at J. A. Ghiz Building in Summerside.  Failure of one of the
components would cause shut down of HVAC systems which are
crucial to the data processing operations carried on in the
building. These components are required on site so that repairs
can be made in days and not months.

Section 6 (d) of the Government Contract Regulations is being
invoked in this procurement as only one person or firm is
capable of performing the contract.
Articles 506.12 (a)  and 506.12(b) of AIT are applicable on the
basis of limited tendering due to compatibility with existing
products, to recognize exclusive rights, such as exclusive
licences, copyright and patent rights, or to maintain
specialized products that must be maintained by the manufacturer
or its representative and where there is an absence of
competition for technical reasons and the goods or services can
be supplied only by a particular supplier and no alternative or
substitute exists, respectively.
Articles 1016.2 (b) and 1016.2 (d) of NAFTA are applicable on
the basis of limited tendering due to reasons where, for works
of art, or for reasons connected with the protection of patents,
copyrights or other exclusive rights, or proprietary information
or where there is an absence of competition for technical
reasons, the goods or services can be supplied only by a
particular supplier and no reasonable alternative or substitute
exists, and where, additional deliveries by the original
supplier that are intended either as replacement parts or
continuing services for existing supplies, services or
installations, or as the extension of existing supplies,
services or installations, where a change of supplier would
compel the entity to procure equipment or services not meeting
requirements of interchangeability with already existing
equipment or services, including software to the extent that the
initial procurement of the software was covered by this Chapter;
respectively.
Delivery:  Prior to February 28, 2014
This PWGSC office provides procurement services to the public in
both official languages of Canada.

Delivery Date: Above-mentioned

You are hereby notified that the government intends to negotiate
with one firm only as identified above. Should you have any
questions concerning this requirement, contact the contracting
officer identified above.

An Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) allows departments and
agencies to post a notice, for no less than fifteen (15)
calendar days, indicating to the supplier community that it
intends to award a good, service or construction contract to a
pre-identified contractor. If no other supplier submits, on or
before the closing date, a Statement of Capabilities that meets
the requirements set out in the ACAN, the contracting authority
may then proceed with the award.  However, should a Statement of
Capabilities be found to meet the requirements set out in the
ACAN, then the contracting authority will proceed to a full
tendering process.

Suppliers who consider themselves fully qualified and available
to provide the services/goods described herein, may submit a
statement of capabilities in writing to the contact person
identified in this Notice on or before the closing date of this
Notice. The statement of capabilities must clearly demonstrate
how the supplier meets the advertised requirements.

The PWGSC file number, the contracting officer's name and the
closing date of the ACAN must appear on the outside of the
envelope in block letters or, in the case of a facsimile
transmission, on the covering page.

The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any
procurement.

Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada.
