Crane LMI System, Barge Integration and Components Installation

Solicitation W912ES26QA112, issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (W07V Endist St Paul), is a Request for Quote for a firm-fixed price contract to replace the safety systems on a Link-Belt 218 crawler crane (Serial Number: BLJO-3653) with a 130-foot boom operating on a barge on the Mississippi River. The contractor is required to provide all labor, materials, and certified test weights to remove the existing Load Moment Indicator (LMI) and install, configure, and calibrate a new hybrid system. This system must include a hardwired main boom line, a wireless auxiliary whip line with a cone wire rider, dynamic list and trim sensors, a dedicated Anti-Two-Block (ATB) system, and a central operator cab display with a minimum 10-inch screen. All work must comply with Link-Belt structural guidelines and manufacturer specifications, with final acceptance contingent upon successful sensor verification, load tracking tests, and the submission of a Calibration and Compliance Report. The procurement is unrestricted, though a price evaluation preference is granted to HUBZone small business concerns. Performance will take place at the Army Corps of Engineers Civil Works Service Base in Fountain City, Wisconsin, with a required delivery date on or before January 15, 2027. Contractors must adhere to Service Contract Act wage determinations for the relevant regions of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa. Key administrative requirements include providing DoD unique identification for the system per MIL-STD-130 and labeling shipments according to MIL-STD-129. Invoices are to be submitted via email as the agency does not utilize Wide Area WorkFlow. Offers must be submitted in PDF format and include manufacturer specifications and cut sheets demonstrating that the proposed equipment meets all salient characteristics.
