The Army Contracting Command (ACC) - Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG), Tobyhanna Division, is conducting this RFI in order to identify potential vendors that possess the capabilities to support the removal and replacement of the racking in 6-1. TYAD wants a new racking system that can accommodate an equal amount of storage as the previous racks.

TYAD’s 6-1 racking requirements

• Row 1: One sided row of racking to hold pallets
• Rows 2-6: Double-sided racking to hold pallets
• Row 7:Racking with shorter arms to hold long metal stripes

Please refer to Objective below and attached DRAFT Performance Work Statement (PWS) for complete details.  Any resultant Delivery Order will be issued by ACC-APG, Tobyhanna Division, 11 Hap Arnold Boulevard, Tobyhanna PA 18466.

Objectives: The Contractor shall assess the current racking, choose a suitable replacement of the racking, and then remove the old racking and install new racking in building 6-1 Tobyhanna Army Depot, Tobyhanna, PA. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

2.  Application

The existing racking is an outdated model that cannot accommodate replacement parts and hence requires complete replacement. Additionally, the current layout of the racks has caused problems for the 6-1 workers due to the rows being too tight and not maneuverable. Because of these factors the racking will need to be removed in its entirety including the concrete bumpers at the ends of the isles. To correct the issues, with the current racking TYAD requires more robust racks and more space in between the rows.

Rack Requirements Rows 1-6: Each row of racks is 150ft long and 23ft tall. The arms must have a length of approximately 4 ft. Arms must have a load capacity of 4,000lbs each and must be connected by a wire mesh deck that also has a capacity of 4,000lbs.

Rack Requirements Row 7: Row 7 is 150ft long and 23ft tall. The arms must have a length of approximately 2 ft. Arms must have a load capacity of 2,000lbs. No wire mesh deck is needed.

Removal:

• Uninstall the racks
• Remove the concrete bumpers at the end
• Repair the floor where the concrete bumpers used to lay
• Transport all metal racking scrap to TYAD’s scrap collection building
• Remove any remaining trash to create a clear slate for the new racks (it is the contractor’s responsibility to dispose of the trash off base)

Installation:

• Procure and transport all racking and other components to TYAD
• Map the layout of the new racks (Same orientation of the previous racks but increase the space between each rack by 8 inches)
• Install the racking
• Remove any trash (it is the contractor’s responsibility to dispose of the trash off base)

Delivery of the fabricated equipment shall be within 6 months of contract award.  Delivery address Tobyhanna Army Depot, 11 Hap Arnold Blvd., Tobyhanna, PA 18466, Bldg. 6-1

The racking furnished under this specification shall be warranted for parts and labor for a period of 1 year from the date of delivery.
