Project for the Replacement of the Generator Sets and / or the Diesel Engines including the In-Service Support of the complete Generator Sets installed in the Halifax Class Frigates of the Department of National Defence (DND)
The main objectives of a Request for Information (RFI) are to allow suppliers to assess and comment on the adequacy and clarity of the requirements; offer suggestions regarding potential alternative solutions that would meet requirements, such as solution with a lower environmental impact; comment on the procurement strategy, preliminary basis of payment elements, and timelines for the project, and comment on the draft solicitation and provide ideas and suggestions on how the eventual solicitation might be structured.
The Department of National Defence has a requirement to replace the engines of all generators in the Halifax Class frigates. Part of the overall requirement is the inclusion of In-service Support for the complete generator sets for the remaining life of the frigates, which is currently projected to be 20 years or greater.
DND is seeking participation from the Industry to finalize the procurement strategy, develop objectives and define the deliverables.
This RFI is not a solicitation and cannot be considered as a commitment from Canada. No agreement or contract will be entered into, based on this Request for Information. This Request for Information is not to be considered as a commitment to issue an Request for Proposal (RFP). No payment will be made for costs incurred in the preparation of a response to this RFI.
Current Generator Sets description and options
All twelve HALIFAX Class frigates are fitted with four diesel generator sets having a maximum continuous rating of 850 kW at 1,800 rpm nominal. The power of the current diesel engines is rated too high for the ship's generators rating.
Currently, DND is considering two (2) options for this requirement. The first option would entail the replacement of the current diesel engines with a lower rated engine, this while retaining the existing generators. The second option would be to replace all diesel generator sets with units better matched to ships' electrical load conditions.
Restrictions
The potential Suppliers must be Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or its licensed representative.
The potential Suppliers must be capable of providing one or more Generator Set models and / or diesel engines, this in order for the Generator Sets to produce a power range between 750 to 850kW.
The potential Suppliers must also have experience in-service support.
