Description

AMENDMENT 0001 adds the full text of ATTACHMENT 1, W914NS-04-R-0133. TOP LOADING CONTAINER HANDLERS Statement of Work: 1. SCOPE. This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the effort required for the purchase and testing of four (4) Top Loading Container Handlers (TLCH), warranty, and preventative maintenance training. This purchase will include associated training and spare parts and tooling lists allowing for completion of routine maintenance for a period of 1 (one) year after delivery. Additionally, vendor must demonstrate through a Statement of Qualification that that it is an ongoing entity with past sales and service experience for the offered item for a ten (10) year period. 1.1 Background. The Supplemental Allocation provided in the 2207 Report and the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) Program Management Office (PMO) has been initiated to design, develop, produce, and deploy services, products, and construction to support rebuilding the infrastructure and economy of Iraq. The Port of Umm Qasar is an integral part of the infrastructure rebuilding and improvement efforts to move goods, people, and raw materials supporting inter-state and international commerce and exchange. To support this effort TLCHs are necessary to allow movement of Containers between the Ports Container Cranes, flatbed trailers and rail and truck staging areas. This capability is essential to the efficient movement of materials between sea ports, rail heads, and truck carriers. The TLCH specification is a commercial material handling equipment specification. The desired equipment must meet or exceed the specifications of the Taylor Machine Works THDC-955 MIT Loaded Container Handler. Due to degraded training and supply chain operations, a 1 (one) year on-site maintenance agreement covering parts and service is required for the interim rebuilding operations. Due to the poor state of trained personnel training covering routine maintenance for 25 personnel should be made, upon mutual agreement between the awardee and the Umm Qasar Port Manager, available at the Port facilities to occur no more than 30 days after delivery. Finally, while the industry is in an infant state of development it is important that capital equipment buys have long-term viability, therefore the customer seeks to reduce risk by elimination proposals from individuals without the financial stability and standard capacity to support after-sales service of the equipment. 2 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS. The following documents are applicable to this Statement of Work and attached appendices to the extent specified herein. 2.1 Non-Government standards and other publications. 2.1.1.
