Cogen Fire And Gas Control Panel Upgrade . 23-58112 Cogen Fire And Gas Control Panel Upgrade Advance Contract Award Notice (Acan): An Acan Is A Public Notice Indicating To The Supplier Community That A Department Or Agency Intends To Award A Contract For Goods, Services Or Construction To A Pre-Identified Supplier, Thereby Allowing Other Suppliers To Signal Their Interest In Bidding By Submitting A Statement Of Capabilities. If No Supplier Submits A Statement Of Capabilities That Meets The Requirements Set Out In The Acan On Or Before The Closing Date Stated In The Acan, The Contracting Officer May Then Proceed With The Award To The Pre-Identified Supplier. Definition Of The Requirement: The National Research Council Of Canada Has A Requirement To Upgrade The Fire And Gas Control System On Its Existing Sgt-100 Gas Turbine And Integrate It Into The Cogen Control System At The Same Time As The Cogen Controls Are Updated. The National Research Council Of Canada (Nrcc) Owns And Operates An European Gas Turbine Typhoon-Intro Gas Turbine Generator (Gtg) At A Nominal Output Of 4.0 Mwe Located In Ottawa, Ontario. The Gtg Was Installed As An “Intro” Model In 1993 And Has Issued A Contract To Siemens Energy Canada To Update The Cogen Control System. The Upgrade Has Four (4) Components: 1. Plc Controls System Upgrade (Allen Bradley Contrologix) 2. Integrated Fuel Valve Upgrade (Ifv) 3. Electric Variable Guide Vane Actuator System Upgrade (Evgv) 4. Warranty - One Year Warranty On Parts And Labor - Siemens To Be Responsive To A Call, On Site With Qualified Personnel And Appropriate Tools Within 48Hrs. Fire And Gas Panel Upgrade And Integration: The Fire And Gas Panel Upgrade Was Initially Considered Work That Could Be Done Prior To The Cogen Control System Upgrade And Integrated Into The New Cogen Control Panels. This Path Has Proven To Be Complicated And Operationally Unsatisfactory: Overall Project Risk, Constructability, Coordinating Two Contractors In One Space, Commissioning, Csa Certification, And Warranty Of Both Systems. As A Result, The Nrc Is Now Looking To Integrate The Fire And Gas Panel Directly Into The Siemens Cogen Control Panels At The Factory. This Will De-Risk Integration Challenges And Ultimately Improve Operation As The Cogen Control System And Fire Panel Will Be Controlled From The Same Human Machine Interface.
