This is for the purposes of procuring wing maintenance stands for use on the B-1 Bomber. Dyess B-1 Maintenance Flight is in need of better work stands to enable maintenance personnel to have better access to the aircraft. The stands shall be constructed of modular units with easy upgrading, low maintenance and easy maneuverability with workers safety in mind at all times. There will be a MANDATORY SITE VISIT on 11 September 2002 at 1000 hours or 10 A.M. All offerors will be REQUIRED to submit conceptual drawings at time of quote submission. Failure to do so will result in offeror being disqualified. The following are a few guidelines we are looking for in the wing maintenance stands. The stands must be designed to meet or exceed the direction found in ?AIR FORCE INSTRUCTION 21-101 AEROSPACE EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT (01 FEB 2002),: ?AIR FORCE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH STANDARDS 91-2 VEHICLE ELEVATING AND ROTATING WORK PLATFORMS, MANUALLY-PROPELLED AND SELF PROPELLED MOBILE WORK PLATFORMS, AND SCAFFOLDS (TOWERS) (01 AUG 1997), ?AIR FORCE INSTRUCTION 91-301 AIR COMBAT COMMAND SUPPLEMENT 1 AIR FORCE OCCUPATIONAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY, FIRE PREVENTION, AND HEALTH (AFOSH) PROGRAM (04 DEC 1997). Units must be entirely constructed of non-corrosive lightweight steel/aluminum. Each unit must be mobile and easily moved and positioned by three people or less. Units will have manually operated vertical scissors type movement allowing a minimum of 36 inches of downward height adjustments for platform leveling. Platform will taper from the engine nacelle to the outboard wing tip. The casters shall swivel 360 degrees with 90 degree locking points and have manually operated foot brakes. Tires shall be made of solid polyurethane molded to the caster wheel. Step-fast jacks shall also be used to take out any caster movement. The work deck sections will provide access to the underside of the wing from the front of the aircraft wings to the trailing edge of wing flaps. Work decks shall be adjustable up and down 5 feet at the inboard end to 3 feet tapered to outboard from ground level and each segment shall be approximately 20 feet long by 10 feet wide providing approximately 160 square feet of usable workspace.

Segment 3 shall be an average of 3 feet. Segments must provide access to the overwing fairing area while engine panels are swung open. Each segment will be capable of holding a minimum of 700 lbs. Workers shall be able to move from segment to segment without dismounting. Each segment shall have collapsible handrails for fall protection. And allow the wings to be sweep after lowering handrails. There will be toe-boards a minimum of 4 inches high surrounding the work decks to prevent small items from rolling off or being kicked over the edge. The interface edge between the aircraft and the work deck/toe-boards will be covered in a non-marking rubber bumper to prevent damage to the aircraft skin. Each side of the aircraft shall have access to a stairway going from ground level to the work deck. Each segments edges shall be painted yellow for protection. Access stairs shall allow for treads to remain in the horizontal position when the deck height is raised or lowered. Each stair shall have handrails fitted to each side.
