The analysis shall be performed with the initial assumption that the rails and supporting structure are at 100%. Various wastage scenarios shall then be applied to the FEA model to iteratively show both deflections and stresses in the web, flange, and supporting structure of the rail system. Multiple iterations will be required to develop a robust database capable of predicting structural adequacy and deflections in various wastage conditions. The documentation of the existing structure is available but may not be sufficiently legible or detailed. It can be used to develop an initial FEA model, but a ship-check will be necessary to validate the structural details used in developing the FEA model. Also, during this ship-check, stress/strain testing will be required to validate the model. This requirement will be fulfilled through a firm-fixed-price task order. The period of performance will be approximately eight (8) months. This procurement is a FAR Part 12 acquisition conducted using FAR Part 13.5 procedures.
