Description

76 CMXG is requesting the purchase of the following item(s).



1. The addition of an oil-lubricated rotary screw vacuum pump to the existing system, along with an integrated control panel to enable fully redundant operation between the two pumps.



2. The contractor shall provide a complete turnkey solution, including all materials, labor, site preparation, delivery, installation, and commissioning of a fully operable process vacuum system.



3. The requested equipment item descriptions/specifications are outlined below



1. Vacuum Pump Specifications:



a. Equipment:

o Provide a new Quincy QSV-530 rotary screw vacuum pump or equivalent oil-seal screw pump that meets the following requirements as a minimum.

o Nominal capacity: 510 CFM.

o Vacuum range: 18" HgV to 29.9" HgV.

o Electrical requirements: 480V, 3-phase, 60 Hz.

o Maximum dimensions: 51" length × 38" width × 44" height (to fit in designated space)

o Drive system: Electric motor with Variable Speed technology, allowing automatic adjustment of motor speed based on process demand

o Operating modes (minimum): Medium PI control loop, Slow PI control, Forced Maximum Speed, and Fixed Speed Control, or equivalent

o Air/oil separation: Oil-separator tank with oil filter; airflow must be cleaned through the air/oil separator filter before discharge

o Cooling system: Oil cooler

o Condensate system: Designed to prevent condensate accumulation in the oil separator, extending oil life

o Inlet valve: Located between the pump and tank; must automatically close during startup when the pump is not yet warmed up, or incorporate an equivalent design to prevent reverse operation

o Cooling and enclosure: Air-cooled, enclosed in sound-insulated bodywork

o Monitoring: Real-time trending of pump metrics over a customizable time period, including (at minimum) inlet pressure, motor speed, power consumption, and oil temperature, displayed in graphical format

o Restart capability: Automatic restart when voltage is restored after a power failure

o Noise level: Maximum 76 dB



b. Warranty:

o Include a comprehensive 2-year warranty covering all parts and labor from the successful start-up date.

o If contractor-performed periodic PM is required to maintain the warranty, all

o associated service costs must be included in the turnkey package.



2.. Integrated Control System Requirements

c. Control Features:

o System must regulate vacuum supply based on real-time demand for optimal energy

efficiency.

o Implement lead/lag sequencing: primary pump operates under standard

demand; secondary pump engages during scheduled downtime or when additional

capacity is needed.



d. PLC Controller:

o Must support OPC UA (preferred) or BACnet protocol for transmitting

performance metrics, diagnostics, and alarms to Tinker AFB’s network.

o Security protocols must comply with ISO 62443

o Controller must support DHCP for IP address assignment or allow IP

reconfiguration via remote access or on-machine HMI

o Enable secure wired remote access via Tinker’s intranet; requires RJ45 port into

control system



e. Automation Capabilities:

• Include full building automation functionalities such as:

o Scheduling

o Alarm notifications

o Historical data logging

o Energy management

o Custom control routines

o Tagging, templating, and hierarchical navigation



f. User Interface:

• Equip with an HTML-based touchscreen interface display:

o Vacuum levels

o Pump temperature

o Operational status, power status, fault codes, last shutdown data

o Elapsed and run hours

o Audio/visual alarms for exceeding operating thresholds

• All operational health data available on the HMI should be included as data tags



g. Panel Construction:

• All components and wiring must be clearly labeled for ease of maintenance.

• Access to system settings must be secured with user profiles, login credentials, and password

protection.

• Incorporate a protected Emergency Stop push button to prevent accidental

engagement.



3. Project Execution Requirements

h. Installation & Commissioning:



o Contractor to furnish all labor, equipment (pump, auxiliary components, piping,etc.), materials, and tools.

o Conduct start-up procedures and full capacity testing to verify operational

readiness.

i. Documentation Deliverables:

• Provide information for PLC Controller:

o Control System Type

o Model, Make, Manufacturer

o Protocol, and Communication port

o MAC Address

o OS/iOS/FW Version (if applicable)

o Host Name

• Provide data tag documentation

o The name or identifier for each data tag

o A description of what each data tag represents. (A brief explanation of what the data measures)

o The data type of each tag. (e.g., Integer, Float, Boolean, String)

o The units of measurement, if applicable. (e.g., RPM, degrees Celsius, mm



o The communication protocol (e.g., OPC UA, Modbus TCP, MTConnect,

o proprietary API)

 Admin: Username/password

 Customer: Username/password (if required)

o The update frequency or polling rate of each tag (if known)

o Read-only or read-write status

o Any supporting documentation or links describing tag usage.

• Provide comprehensive as-built documentation using industry standards:

o Equipment drawings

o Factory specifications

o Catalog cut sheets for all ancillary items

o Wiring schematics, logic diagrams, interconnect detailsComplete BOM (Bill of Materials)

o O&M manuals, troubleshooting resources, PM schedules

• Submit both printed and digital formats. All drawings must be provided in .dxf or.dwg format.

Training:

o Deliver on-site training for operators and maintenance staff.

o Training must cover system operation and diagnostic interpretation for

preventive maintenance.
