Quick Summary
The United States Coast Guard (USCG), on behalf of the Surface Forces Logistics Center (SFLC), has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for market research purposes. This RFI seeks to identify sources capable of providing all labor, supervision, materials, and equipment to procure, deliver, and install a new boiler condensate salinity monitoring system on the USCGC HEALY (WAGB-20). The project involves replacing obsolete McNab MC-81 salinity cells with a new Burkert system. Responses are due by March 20, 2026, at 4:00 PM EDT.
Scope of Work
The anticipated requirement includes:
- Removal and disposal of existing McNab MC-81 salinity cells.
- Procurement, delivery, and installation of two (2) Burkert 8619 Multicell Controllers and two (2) Burkert 8220 Conductivity Sensors.
- Adaptation of new sensors to existing 1-1/4 inch NPT fittings using specified Burkert S020 adapters.
- Custom fabrication and welding of new mounting hardware in Auxiliary Machinery Room #1.
- Shipboard electrical work and full system integration with the ship’s Machinery Plant Control and Monitoring System (MPCMS).
- Configuration of controllers for a 0-20 µS/cm analog output range and setting high salinity alarm to 0.2 Grains Per Gallon (GPG).
- Calibration of conductivity sensors and comprehensive operational testing.
- Provision of system familiarization and training to the ship's crew.
- Submission of as-installed wiring diagrams and a final Condition Found Report (CFR). The place of performance is aboard the USCGC HEALY, homeported in Seattle, WA.
