c\. Switch Pole Construction: Switches shall be suitable for the
specified ratings.

\(1\) Contacts: Main blade switch contacts shall be self-aligning,
self-wiping, high pressure contacts. Fixed contacts shall be of the
reverse current loop shape that eliminates contact burning under fault
conditions. The current-carrying path shall not be through any spring.
If the current path is through a moving pin, means shall be provided to
maintain continuous positive contact pressure on the pin. The shape and
material used for contacts shall be such that there will be no galling
of contact metals when switch is subjected to 1,000 open plus 1,000
close operations.

The ambient air for this location is dusty and sandy, which will collect
on exposed grease. Use of grease on exposed surfaces is not acceptable.

\(2\) Main Switch Blades: The blades shall be of hard-drawn copper or
aluminum alloy for carrying the specified continuous and short-time
currents. Stops, if required on the individual poles, shall be furnished
as described in paragraphs (3) and d(2) below. If the blades are
attached to castings, the blades and castings shall be connected by a
bolted clamp. Attachment by welding is not acceptable. A press fit
between blade and casting is not acceptable. Main blades of switches
shall be counterbalanced to prevent them from falling closed from any
position. If spiral springs are used on the hinge end of switch for
counterbalancing, the housing shall be designed so that ice cannot build
up on the spring(s) to impair switch operation. Pressed-fit joints shall
not be subjected to spring pressure during any part of a switch
operation.

\(3\) Hinge-End and Clip-End Assemblies: Pole unit castings shall be of
bronze or aluminum alloy. Bearings in the hinge-end operating levers
shall be of the ball, roller, Oilite®-sleeve, plastic, or
ball-and-socket type. Bearings shall be firmly fixed in place and shall
not require replacement or maintenance before performing at least 1,000
operations. Stops shall be provided in the clips-ends of vertical-break
switches, and the switch adjustments shall provide for blades to rest
against the stops in the closed positions.

The rotating arm and the hinge assembly of the disconnect switch shall
be insulated from the current carrying blade such that no current passes
through either at the rated capacity of the switch.

\(4\) Rotating Insulator Bearings: Bearings for the rotating insulator
stacks shall be of the tapered-roller or double-ball type. If of the
latter type, the bearings shall be of the combination radial and thrust
type. Bearings shall be provided with a readily adjustable take-up
adjustment.

\(5\) Bases: The bases of switches shall be of metal members of
sufficient stiffness to prevent excessive deflection when mounted and
operated on supporting structures. Lattice-girder-type bases will not be
permitted. Steel material required for the bases shall be galvanized.

\(6\) Bearings: Ball or roller bearings shall be the sealed, permanently
lubricated type or of the type that does not require lubrication, with
stainless steel balls or rollers and races.

\(7\) Assembly: Each pole of each switch shall be completely assembled,
adjusted, and bolted to their switch base, with insulators, at the
factory prior to shipment.

\(8\) Steel bolts, nuts, washers, and locknuts exposed to outdoor
weather, shall be galvanized in accordance with ASTM A 153, 1995, or may
be stainless steel material. All necessary bolts, nuts, and washers to
complete the erection shall be furnished by the Contractor.

d\. Construction of Interrupter Units: The interrupter units shall be of
the type that confines the arc in an enclosed arcing chamber. If of the
oil type, each unit shall be furnished complete with oil, a liquid level
gauge, and provisions for filling, draining, and sampling the oil. If of
the gas-filled type, each unit shall be furnished with a gas-pressure
indicator visible from the ground which will indicate when gas pressure
decreases to a point where further loss would impair interrupting
performance.

> The supplier shall ensure, prior to bidding/quoting, that the
> interrupter unit will work with the exact model of disconnect switch
> being bid/quoted, as applied for this specific installation.

e\. Operating Mechanisms: Manual Worm Gear Operated Switch: Operating
mechanisms shall effect a smooth, thoroughly controlled movement
throughout the entire opening and closing cycles and all rods, shafts,
pipe linkages, connectors, operating levers, supports, and fittings
shall show no noticeable deflection. Cable connections in lieu of rigid
interphase rods are not acceptable. Means shall be provided on each
switch for taking up loose motion in each part of the mechanism and for

small business size standard*. The NAICS code and small business size
standard for this acquisition appear in Block 10 of the solicitation
cover sheet (SF 1449). However, the small business size standard for a
concern which submits an offer in its own name, but which proposes to
furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is 500 employees.

\(b\) *Submission of offers*. Submit signed and dated offers to the
office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time
specified in this solicitation. Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449,
letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As

\(2\) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of offers;

\(3\) The name, address, and telephone number of the offeror;

\(4\) A technical description of the items being offered in sufficient
detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation.
This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary;

factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar
items and other references (including contract numbers, points of
contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information); and

\(11\) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement
specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and
provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish
required representations or information, or reject the terms and
conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

\(c\) *Period for acceptance of offers*. The offeror agrees to hold the
prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified
for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an
addendum to the solicitation.

\(d\) *Product samples*. When required by the solicitation, product
samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt
of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these
samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned
at the sender\'s request and expense, unless they are destroyed during
preaward testing.

\(e\) *Multiple offers*. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple
offers presenting alternative terms and conditions or commercial items
for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer
submitted will be evaluated separately.

\(f\) *Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of
offers.*(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any
modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government
office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the
solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for
receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office
on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer
received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after
the exact time specified for receipt of offers is \"late\" and will not
be considered unless it is received before award is made, the
Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not
unduly delay the acquisition; and-

\(A\) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method
authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of
entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one
working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

\(B\) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at
the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was
under the Government\'s control prior to the time set for receipt of
offers; or

\(C\) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only
proposal received.

\(ii\) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer,
that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be
considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

\(3\) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the
Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that
installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt
maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of
Government personnel.

\(4\) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal
Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government
office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in
the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment
of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date,
the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended
to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work
day on which normal Government processes resume.

\(5\) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time
before the exact time set for receipt of offers. Oral offers in response
to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation
authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile
received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers,
subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning
facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or
its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt
of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is
established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

\(g\) *Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids*). The
Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without
discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror\'s initial offer
should contain the offeror\'s best terms from a price and technical
standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct
discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be
necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is
in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive
informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

\(h\) *Multiple awards*. The Government may accept any item or group of
items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific
limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not
be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government
reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than
the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror
specifies otherwise in the offer.

**11. LH.0000-0071 ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF DOCUMENTS VIA THE DOE IIPS
SYSTEM (WAPA, 3/2002)**

The following requirements apply if proposals or other documents are
submitted electronically via the Dept of Energy\'s \'Industry
Interactive Procurement System\' (IIPS) or by other electronic means
(e.g., electronic files on a CD-ROM):

\(a\) The terms and conditions contained in the \'Notice of Disclaimer\'
on the DOE IIPS system (agreed to when vendors register to use the IIPS
system)are hereby incorporated into this solicitation/award document.

\(b\) All document files submitted electronically must be submitted in
one or more of the following Microsoft Office 97 for Windows (or newer)
file formats (e.g., .doc, .xls, .mdb, .ppt); portable document format
(.pdf); or in the following graphic file formats (.gif or .jpg). Use
whichever format is most appropriate for the type of document involved.
Engineering drawings, if any, must be in AutoCAD, PDF, or in one of the
acceptable graphic file formats. NOTE: if there are an inordinately
large number of drawings, or if the file sizes are prohibitively large,
contact the Contracting Officer before the proposal due date and time
for further instructions.

\(c\) Offerors are responsible for ensuring their electronically-
submitted files are free from viruses, are in the prescribed, readable
format, and are not corrupted. Replacement of corrupt or unreadable
files may be allowed at the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer.
The Contracting Officer may notify the offeror and provide an
opportunity for the offeror to submit clear and convincing evidence: 1)
of the content of the proposal as originally submitted; and 2) that the
unreadable condition of the proposal was caused by, or is the fault of,
the Government.

\(d\) For purposes of determining the timliness of proposal submissions,
the date/time stamp (DTS) assigned by the IIPS system will be used. The
IIPS DTS default uses Eastern Time, so proposal due dates expressed in
other time zones will be converted to Eastern Time to make the
timeliness determination, unless otherwise specified in the
solicitation.

\(e\) Electronic signatures: submission of proposals via DOE\'s IIPS
system will constitute \'signed\' copies of the required documents. The
name of the authorized, responsible company official who would normally
sign that document shall be entered on the signature line. In addition,
the Contracting Officer may require, at his or her discretion, a signed,
paper copy of each original signature page to be submitted via US Mail
or by facsimile.

\(f\) Updates or changes to proposals or other documents originally
submitted via the IIPS system must also be submitted via IIPS. In the
event that a conflict or discrepancy is discovered between a paper copy
of a vendor or Government document, the copy as posted on the IIPS
system shall be considered the official, \'controlling\' version of the
document.

\(g\) Offerors must use discrete file names (and descriptions, where
applicable) for all files uploaded to the IIPS system.

\(h\) Offerors agree to, and certify, that they have not made any
changes to Government-originated files/documents - other than for
expected signatures or fill-ins - that must be returned to the
Government (e.g., Representations and Certifications). Any questions or
concerns about any Government documents must be communicated directly to
the Contracting Officer.
