Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) - ACAN
K0F72-136203/A Yamamoto, Albert Telephone No. - (604) 775-7549 Fax No. - (604) 775-7526
Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) on behalf of Environment Canada, intends to negotiate with VideoRay in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, USA, for provision of the VideoRay P4 HY 300Base Remote Operated Vehicle. The delivery date shall be subject to manufacturer's availability.
Underwater investigation and inspection for pollution detection and fugitive discharges;
Sampling of items or substances suspected to be in contravention of the Fisheries Act and/or the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999;
Forensic evidence gathering.
The above operations will be conducted in low light conditions as well as tight spaces or intakes on a regular basis.
1. VideoRay Pro 4 HY 300BASE configuration 2. Monitor Package 15" Standard 3. Pro 4 Industrial Hand Controller 4. 250 ft VideoRay ROV Tether 5. Manipulator Arm with Pro 4 standard mounts 6. Pro 4 ROV Maintenance Kit 7. Recovery and Retrieval Tools Kit 8. Laser Sea Beam Parallel Beam Scaler
1. Depth Rating: Rated for depths of up to 1,000 feet in salt water.
2. Warranty: Minimum 2-years.
3. Camera: High resolution colour and black & white camera with a sensitivity of .004 lux in colour mode and a .0001 lux in black & white mode. This sensitivity allows for the required illuminance and luminous emittance in the surface area of operation to conduct inspections and investigations. The ROV will frequently be used in extremely low light and turbid situations. The presence of a camera specifically for these conditions is mandatory. In conditions where more light is available, the use of colour video is preferred over black and white.
4. Sized to allow for manoeuvrability in tight spaces and allow for inspection inside areas such as industrial outfalls and intakes or narrow docks. Also, sized to enter small areas due to potential lack of water clarity and light.
5. Lighting for low light conditions: necessary as the ROV will be used at depths in lakes and marine environments where there is no light. An LED Array with 32 emitters of 3,600 lumens is required to beam in the area of operation.
6. Sensors for depth, water temperature, internal temperature and accelerometer (speed) are required to monitor these variables to effectively pilot the ROV.
7. Motor: of a sufficient thrust to be capable of overcoming the drag and weight of sampling devices and tethers.
8. Logistical requirements: compact enough for easy lifting, packing in hard cases, storage and transportation to remote locations by small vessel (rigid hull inflatable vessels RHIB): weight for base ROV fewer than 20 pounds with full ballast and total unit under 100 pounds, less than 15 inches length, 15 inches in width, and 15 inches in height. This size also meets the manoeuvrability requirements above.
9. Monitors: makes the image viewable by the ROV camera. An additional 15-inch monitor allows for the images to be seen clearly while providing viewing space for multiple application windows.
10. Hand controllers: used to operate the ROV from the surface. The controllers are used to manually direct the ROV and pilot the unit. An additional industrial hand controller is required to remotely operate and pilot the unit.
11. Control Panel/Computer with operating software: requires video and still image recording with date, time, depth, and heading overlay to accurately document inspection and investigation activities and evidence gathered.
12. Tether: mateable and compatible to allow for increased depths to be accessed by original and additional segments that can connect, and to ensure that rock or vessel propellers do not sever a sole connection.
13. Manipulator Arm: required to perform various hands-on functions underwater such as collecting samples, recovering objects up to 100 lb and untangling tether snags. Able to be opened and closed from the hand controller or control panel with a maximum jaw opening of 2 inches and a depth rating of 1,000 feet.
14. Maintenance Kit: must include parts such as domes, seals, and basic hardware.
15. Retrieval Kit: must include accessories to allow for securing evidence independent of the ROV - levering heavy items from underwater areas.
16. Laser Scaler: attachment for the ROV that is a measuring device that projects vertical beams 3 inches apart for estimating and measuring without tilting the mechanism.
17. The ROV must have the option to add sensors and sonar on an "as needed basis" as any additional operational requirements develop. A sensor such as one that detects hydrocarbons and substances or compounds must be an option. Software add-ons should also be an option to support any upgraded features.
18. The ROV supplier must provide technical and operational support for the ROV procured.
19. The ROV supplier must provide training in the field covering topics such as setup, operational capability, basic piloting, cleaning and basic maintenance. 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.
