- Description
- Integrated Production Systems, Inc., Arlington, TX, is the engineering firm currently under Contract DAAE30-01-C-1094 with the US Army TACOM-ARDEC to install the explosives formulation facility and support components in Building 810 at Picatinny Arsenal, NJ. The US Army TACOM-ARDEC has a requirement for the design, fabrication and installation of additional equipment to be integrated into the explosives formulation facility in order to formulate, handle and load energetic materials, specifically cast-cure military grade high- explosives. This follow on action will provide increased capabilities in addition to the ones provided under the basic contract. The required services include the design, fabrication and installation of a stainless steal 4-Nozzle Pour Machine. Also included are the design, installation and integration of a dual-planetary vertical mixer with jacket, vacuum and agitation system, a pusher plate system with 4-nozzle pouring manifold, a metal parts preheat oven, a remote dry energetic feeding system, projectile buggies/tooling blocks with vibration capability and a temperature/humidity controlled curing oven. The contractor will be required to integrate the new systems and equipment into the existing operating explosive loading facility in Building 810 at Picatinny Arsenal, NJ. The contractor will be required to take the limitations of the existing operating facility into consideration when designing and planning installation of the new equipment. The contractor will be required to perform this effort in two phases: Phase I-Design and Review of Equipment and Systems Fabrication; Phase II- Installation, Integration, System Debug and Testing. Installation of the required equipment shall not impact the on-going operations being conducted in the operating facility, which will require the contractor to work between 1700 to 0600 hours, Monday through Friday, depending on explosive loading schedules. The contractor will be required to provide all necessary labor, parts, tools, test equipment and transportation as required for the completion of the services requested. The contractor will be required to supply all controls (remote and on-site) to all equipment as required by operational standards in Safety Manual AMCR 385-100, Ammunition and Explosives Safety Standards DAPAM 385-64, Engineering and Drawing Practices MIL-STD-100, Drawings, Engineering, and Associated Lists MIL-DTL-31000, American National Standard Institute A165.3, and American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler Code. Utility connects and disconnects will be from existing primary shop sources. The contractor will be required to adhere to OSHA and Army Explosive Safety Regulations throughout the execution of the contract. Upon installation, the contractor will be required to test and debug all equipment and demonstrate that it meets or exceeds the operational standards in Safety Manual AMCR 385-100, Ammunition and Explosives Safety Standards DAPAM 385-64, Engineering and Drawing Practices MIL-STD-100, Drawings, Engineering, and Associated Lists MIL-DTL-31000, American National Standard Institute A165.3, and American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler Code.
