The vendor shall provide and install a fully self-contained closed loop non-evaporative liquid based cooling system that rejects heat from the drive engine, output motor loads, and transmission under test to the outside air. The vendor shall be responsible for furnishing, installing, and making operational all components of the complete system, including input drive diesel engine, electric motor output loading system, control and instrumentation system, fuel supply and storage system, exhaust and air intake systems, cooling system, and operator command and control equipment. Upon delivery of the subject equipment, the vendor shall provide complete turn-key installation services for the system, including off-loading from shipment, and complete installation, setup, and commissioning. The vendor shall provide training services to operator, maintenance, and calibration personnel at RRAD - Texarkana, TX.
