Description of Item: Contractor shall provide a reusable plastic cover for the standard 463L household good pallet. The cover will be used to protect the cardboard tri-wall or wooden pallet from the elements when inside storage space is exhausted. 2. Place of Performance: 305th Aerial Port Squadron, Retrograde Outbound grid yard in front of BLDG 1757, JB-MDL, NJ. 3. Special Requirements: (see attachment 1 and 2) Dimensions for the cover will be made exactly at 110"x90"x98" (LxWxH). The material must be made of flexible, transparent, and reusable plastic covering. The plastic must be waterproof, able to withstand winds up to 30 miles per hour, and withstand repeated sun exposure without losing structural integrity. The thickness for the material must be exactly 10 Mil thick. The two back vertical edges must be permanently closed. (Object 1A) The two front vertical edges must be closable using Velcro. The Velcro must be industrial grade Velcro and must be between two to three inches wide. (Object 2A) Two strips of Velcro running horizontal will have the loop part of the Velcro permanently attached to the sides. (Object B) The hook side of the Velcro will be 24" long and have an additional 12" of strap attached to the front of the cover. The loop side of the Velcro will be stitched to the side of the cover to allow for the hook side to attach to it. (Object C) Running parallel to the bottom of the cover will be a 50" strip of nylon material holding a 3" metal ring and stitched to the side of the cover. (Object D) Attached to the front of the cover will be an 80" long Velcro strap with both the hook and loop parts of Velcro on the outside. (Object E) The Velcro strap will be attached to the front of the cover. The top four corners of the cover will be reinforced. This is especially important for the front of the cover, because of the Velcro opening. As you pull open the front of the cover, a lot of stress will be put on the corners. I want double material or something similar to prevent the tearing of the top of the cover as the front of the cover is opened. The entire bottom of the cover must also have a half inch hem. 4. Delivery: Request expeditious manufacturing and delivery. Please address the packages to the following: Mr. Greg Wright BLDG 1757, Room 104 McGuire AFB, NJ 08641
