Background and Purpose

McMaster University is planning to add an Acoustic Intensity Suite, and a Modal Analysis and Vibration Suite to be located at McMaster Automotive Resource Centre (MARC). McMaster University invites qualified bidders to submit responses for the supply of an Acoustic Intensity Suite, and a Modal Analysis and Vibration Suite in accordance with the terms of this Request for Proposals. These suites will consist of hardware and software to conduct acoustic noise and vibration measurements on electric motors. The Acoustic Intensity Suite and the Modal Analysis and Vibration Suite will create a unique academic facility that would enable research into low-cost, high-efficiency, and low-noise electric motor drives with a more stable supply chain security. The proposed infrastructure will enable characterization of the acoustic noise and vibration behavior of electric motor drives and validation of the technologies developed to reduce it.

Bidders must quote the entire bid. Partial bids will not be accepted.

Scope/Objective

The purpose of this document is to confer upon the Vendor all system responsibilities which will include required functionality, and hardware and software requirements for the Acoustic Intensity Suite, and the Modal Analysis and Vibration Suite. The hardware and software for both suites will be delivered to McMaster University by February 2022.

Term

The term of this agreement is the time required to fulfill the deliverables of this RFP. The warranty term is for an initial term of one (1) year with an option to renew for up to an additional four (4) years to be renewed on a yearly basis as required, at McMaster’s sole discretion.
