Full Description

DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS FOR STEEL CASTINGS (HORSE BOXES, QUOIN BLOCKS, QUOIN STAYS) 1. General: The castings to be produced hereunder shall conform to the latest modern practice of the industry. The steel shall be of the grade specified, and the complete castings shall be free of injurious defects. The cost of shipping the castings and patterns to the Illinois Waterway Project Office in Peoria IL 61603, should be included in the unit prices. The contract shall be completed within 5 months after receipt of award. 2. Material: The castings shall be made of steel conforming to ASTM A27 Steel Castings, Carbon, for General Application dated August 28, 1987 and ASTM A148 Steel Castings, High Strength, for Structural Purposes dated December 15, 1993, EXCEPT that production samples are not required. Nondestructive tests are required. 3. Identification Marking: Each casting shall have the heat number stamped or cast upon it. 4. Dimensions: The dimensions shown on the applicable sketches are machine-finished dimensions. 5. Repairs to Castings: Major repairs to castings shall not be made without the knowledge and prior approval of the Contracting Officer. Deviations from the dimensions and the thickness of castings shown will not be permitted to exceed such amounts as, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, impair by more than 10 percent the strength of the casting as computed from the dimensions shown. Warped or otherwise distorted castings, or castings that are oversize to such an extent as will interfere with proper fit with other parts of the machinery, will be rejected. The structure of the metal in the castings shall be homogenous and free from excessive non-metallic inclusions. Excessive segregation of impurities or alloys at critical points in a casting will be cause for its rejection. 6. Patterns: a. The Government will furnish wood patterns for the horse box, quoin box, and quoin stay castings (estimated weight 212lb). Patterns will be shipped to Contractor on Government bills of lading within 15 days after issuance of notice of contract award. b. Upon receipt of the patterns, the Contractor shall inspect for dimensions, machine finish allowances, and overall condition. Any discrepancies or deficiencies found in the patterns shall be reported immediately to the Contracting Officer, as the Contractor will be held responsible for producing castings of the required shape and dimensions. c. After use, all patterns shall be placed in first class condition, including, a thorough cleaning, the application of one coat of varnish, and making repairs where necessary. They shall then be carefully crated and returned, at the Contractors expense, to the Peoria Project Office; Corps of Engineers, 257 Grant St, Peoria, Illinois 61603. Any pattern damaged by the Contractor, or damaged or lost in return of shipment, shall be replaced by the Contractor without cost to the Government. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to withhold payment for parts made from any pattern until such pattern is returned in good condition to the Peoria Project Office.
