4 AMERICAN SAMOA POWER AUTHORITY GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS MOBILGARD ADL 40 LUBE OIL IFB NO. 2007GEN INTRODUCTION: Deutz has a list of compatible lube oils for use with the BVM 640 engine, which are utilized by ASPA in its power generation. Some of the oils have been used on the Deutz engines and have created problems. After several trials with other lube oil products, ASPA discovered that the Deutz engines functioned most effectively when using Mobilgard ADL 40 lube oil. Therefore, this is a restrictive IFB for Mobilgard ADL 40 lube oil. 2. BACKGROUND: ASPA started operation of its first Deutz engine in More Deutz engines were added to its power generation in the following years. To date, ASPA operates eight Deutz generators. Since the operation of the first Deutz engine, ASPA s Deutz engines experienced problems due to the use of alternative lube oil, including the following: a. Untimely filter plugging and foaming occurred daily on the lube oil filters and oil separator bowl discs, resulting in 24 hour shifts to clean lube oil filters and separators bowl discs; b. Lacquering in the liners, liner polishing, and glazing problems; c. Sludge accumulation in the camshaft and crankcase compartment, and the sump tank; d. Blow by condition increased wear & tear on the piston rings, liners, and cylinder head; and e. Increased personnel and operation & maintenance costs. After switching to the Mobilgard ADL 40 lube oil, the above problems were solved, and ASPA has successfully used the ADL 40 lube oil since 1997 with its Deutz engines. 3. AUTHORITY: ASPA Procurement Rules provides a method for purchasing based on brand name specification. As established above, ASPA Deutz engines have been functioning effectively since the implementation of Mobilgard ADL 40 in SCOPE OF WORK: The operation of eight each Deutz Generators require approximately 100,000 gallons per year of Mobilgard ADL 40 Lube Oil. Therefore, this IFB shall be for the supply of exactly 100,000 gallons of Mobilgard ADL 40 Lube Oil over the course of a one (1) year written agreement.
