Description
:
The CA03 structural module is the IRWST Southwest Walls Module, located in the Nuclear Island (NI). CA03 is classified as Safety Related, Seismic Category I, and Westinghouse Safety Class C. The CA03 scope is the only CA module that is built in a panel-style radial configuration. The CA03 structural module is one of the smaller structural modules in the AP1000 design and single-plate thickness, however the specific radius has a tight tolerance adherence requirement. CA03 is fabricated in 17 sub-modules before shipment to the identified site. CA03 has associated misc. equipment such as ASME Section III piping and associated penetrations, attachment plates and leak chases; temporary supports including U-bolts, nuts, and fasteners; hoist rings and inserts. 1. Experienced manufacturers / Fabricators capable of fabricating and furnishing AP1000® structural modules and / or shield building (described below), must (i) contact (email and/or phone call) the Westinghouse Contact Person identified in section 1 to express interest and request an AP1000 supplier qualification questionnaire, and (ii) upon receipt, complete the AP1000 supplier qualification questionnaire with sufficient detail for Westinghouse evaluation and return it via email to the Westinghouse contact person. If there are any questions or clarifications needed, please reach out to the contact person listed above. 2. The qualification criteria shall be included in the AP1000 supplier qualification questionnaire, examples thereof include demonstration of: (i) demonstrated experience in furnishing similar scopes in large carbon steel fabrication such as sub-modules that are around 13 m in length, 3 m on width and workshops having >15 tonne crane capacity), stud shooting, and welding of dissimilar metals such as stainless steels, carbon steel and duplex with proper segregation and controls, equipment capabilities to handle plate widths up to 2 m, ; (ii) meeting the quality requirements for such equipment in a nuclear power plant, including having a Westinghouse or NIAC audited nuclear quality program complying with NQA-1 and 10CFR50 Appendix B; (iii) certification of compliance with all applicable governmental policies, requirements, laws and regulations, applicable international treaties or agreements, and other regulatory requirements; (iv) financial standing (solvency) and (v) verification of capabilities. 3. Upon evaluation of your response to the AP1000 supplier qualification questionnaire, Westinghouse will determine if your company meets, or does not meet the qualification requirements and we will provide feedback.

Companies meeting the qualification criteria and who have executed the PIA will be invited to submit a proposal. 6. The Request for Proposal (RFP) shall include the information about award criteria, scope of work, specifications, drawings, datasheets, terms and condition, and schedule data. 7. The Request for Proposal (RFP) document will be for unit one (1) of the three (3) unit project. 8. The scope of work for the subject RFP will include: • Overall project management, planning, scheduling, and reporting. • Procurement of material. • Material receipt • Preparation of necessary fabrication drawings and procedures (welding, coating, etc.), work packages (travelers), manufacturing and assembly plans, quality and inspection plan(s), shop lifting and handling plan (including lifting lug design, drawings, calculations, and testing), transportation plan, testing plan, weld documentation, personnel and process qualifications, and schedule. • Preparation of the necessary documentation to support site lifting, handling, and movement plans, including any special instructions or requirements for unloading, hauling, and storage. • Preparation of the necessary documentation to support site assembly. • Details of the joint configuration between the field welded steel components • Process qualification procedure and demonstration plans for critical processes including stud welding, automatic welding, long-seam butt welding, dimensional control, weld repairs, etc. • Fabrication based on the existing Westinghouse fleet design (not based on specific fabricator preferences). • Temporary attachments as required per the fabrication process selected. • Cleaning, marking, painting, packaging. • Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) and other Testing requirements as required by Fabrication Specification. 9. The RFP document will require furnishing of a Parent Company Guarantee if the prequalified Supplier is an affiliate of Parent Company. 10. Proposal may be requested in EURO, PLN (Polish Zloty), and/or USD . Furthermore, the proposals may be requested in a combination of Fixed Price (not subject to any price adjustment) and Firm Price (subject to adjustment per mutually agreed upon indices). 11. The final supplier evaluation and selection criteria will include price, compliance with technical, quality, and commercial requirements, experience in furnishing similar equipment, past performance, and compliance with the terms and conditions of purchase. 12. Any companies that do not meet mandatory compliance requirements in section 3 will be excluded. 13. The procedure for companies to gain access to proprietary information, if required, will be subject to compliance with the executed PIA /NDA, Applicable Export Laws, Applicable Laws, and Applicable Safeguards Laws which will be included in the RFP document.
