*****THIS IS ONLY A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE TO LOOK FOR POTENTIAL SMALL BUSINESS SOURCES THAT CAN PERFORM THIS SERVICE. THERE IS NOT A REQUIREMENT AT THIS TIME, JUST DOING MARKET RESEARCH. ***** STATEMENT OF WORK FOR RELOCATION OF T-1 AIRCRAFT SHELTERS 2.0. REQUIREMENTS 2.1. BASIC SPECIFICATION OF SYSTEM: The T-1 shelters presently located on east ramp at hangars 5,6 and 7 with the physical locations being rows 8 through 12 are to be rolled as single units and reattached to existing piers at the south end of the east ramp hangars 15 and 16; rows 16 through 20. Due to high replacement value of these shelters the contractor shall provide the necessary bond coverage for damage/replacement. In addition to the bonding requirement each shelter move shall be regarded as an independent contract; follow on awards will be based on review of structure integrity, placement accuracy and customer satisfaction. 2.2 DESIGN SPECIFICATION: The existing T-1 shelters located at rows 8 through 12 shall be relocated one row at a time by lifting/securing and placing a mobile chassis under each shelter structures and moving them to their predetermined new location at rows 16 through 20. The shelters shall be moved intact with all lights and subcomponents within or on the shelter; note items such as electrical circuit panels, grounding connections, T-1 CASS systems and CASS (4 inch thick) ground slabs will be disconnected and reinstalled by the base IDIQ electrical contractor. The moving contractor shall be required to provide drawings of the moving chassis and single point tow bridle (which attaches to the tow vehicle and structure/chassis) to CE for review and approval prior to the move. There will be no welding, flame cutting or fabrication of components on site. In the event there is an emergency need for welding a bracket the necessary permits shall be approved and obtained from the Base Fire Marshal and Air Field Manager before any action can be taken. The moving contractor shall be required to lift the 325 ft long by 55 ft wide structure in one simultaneous slow lift with minimal deflection to the structure and roof. Once the structure is secured and ready to move the old ground attachment points are to be ground smooth to the ramp (below the service). The contractor shall provide adequate weight bearing cover matting to cross the DV Red Carpet area in the event the shelters should have to travel over it. As the structure moves down the ramp, the contractor shall have the necessary personnel and tie down equipment to secure the shelter to the ramp in the event an adverse wind situation should arise. The structure shall be moved in such a manner that the tow speed should be slow enough to prevent any twisting, waiving, or material deflection of the structure. Upon the arrival of the shelter at its location, the contractor shall be responsible for aligning the shelter with the existing pier locations, ensuring the alignment with the T-38 shelters at the north end of the east ramp, and reattaching it to the ramp. The contractor shall use the same grade of original manufacturing materials in securing the shelters attachment points. When the shelter is secured all critical truss, vertical stanchions, horizontal and knee bracing nuts, bolts and washers shall be replaced and re-torque to original manufactures specifications. The entire structure (including, but not limited to bolts, fasteners, and screws) shall withstand wind gust of 120+ mph. The contractor shall also be responsible for any and all touch up paint associated with the move; all damaged galvanized surfaces will be treated with an approved material like Galv-o-weld.
