- Description
- The Naval District Washington, Area West, Indian Head Detachment, Indian Head, MD is seeking sources for Fluid Applied Resilient (Resinous) Conductive Flooring. Responsible sources must meet the following criteria: Product ? Provision of a conductive flooring system with copper grounding for installation of new conductive flooring. Conductive Flooring system will be a non-sparking, electrically conductive, impervious slip-resistant, load and abrasion resistant, chemically resistant system. Conductive flooring placed outside of a building shall be resistant to weather conditions without affecting the conductivity. Conductive flooring system must be able to withstand forklift traffic. Conductive flooring must bond to vertical surfaces as a 6? cove base installed at the same time the flooring surface is laid as one unit that forms a watertight seal over the entire floor surface including the vertical wall. Characteristics required of the system are as follows: Primer ? Type recommended by the manufacturer to penetrate into the pores of the substrate and bond with floor surfacing matrix to form a permanent monolithic bond between substrate and surfacing matrix. Copper, sheet and Stripe ASTM B370, cold-rolled temper. Top Coating. Black color coating of type recommended by manufacturer. Physical Properties ? The complete system after curing shall have the following properties when tested in accordance with test methods listed for each property. Epoxy Matrix Floor Surfacing. (a) Spark Resistance. Conductive Flooring system must not spark when stroked vigorously with a 12-inch harden steel file in a 3-foot arc. Generally, file is held at arm?s length and a 3-foot arc is scribed on floor with tip of file. Person conducting test must strike floor enough times, between 6 and 12, so as to convince him/herself floor does not spark. One spark will disqualify the floor. Test is conducted in subdued light. Person conducting test will prepare a statement-indicating name, code, and date, number of trails, and name or identification of floor. State briefly if floor passed or failed and severity of sparking, if any; (b) Compressive Strength: ASTM C 579; 10,000 psi minimum at 7 days; (c) Tensile Strength; ASTM C 307; 1500 psi minimum at 7 days; (d) Flexural Modulus of Elasticity: ASTM C 580; 500,000 psi minimum at 7 days (e) Thermal Coefficient of Expansion: STM C 531; 0.00004 inches per inch-degree F maximum; (f) Shrinkage ASTM C 531; 0.5 percent maximum; (g) Bond Strength: ACI 503R, 300 psi minimum with 100 percent concrete failure (2500 psi Compressive Strength Concrete); (h) Flame Spread Index: ASTM E 162; 25 maximum; (i) Smoke Deposited: ASTM E 162; 4 mg maximum; (j) Abrasion Resistance: ASTM D 4060; 15 mg maximum weight loss; (k) Impact Resistance: MIL-D-3134; no visible signs of chipping, cracking, or detachment and not more than 0.05 inch of permanent indention; (1) Indentation: MIL-D-3134; no signs of cracking or detachment with initial indentation not to exceed two percent; (m) Resistance to Elevated Temperature: MIL-D-3134; no flow or slip exceeding 0.063 inch; no softening; (n) Hardness: As specified in ASTM D-2583, the hardness required is a minimum of 70 (Shore D Durometer); (o) Non-slip Properties: MIL-D-3134; factors of friction not less than shown as follows: Contacting Surface: Leather. Factor of Static Friction Condition: Dry-0.60 Wet-0.50; Factors of Sliding Friction Condition: Dry-0.30 Wet-0.40. Contacting Surface: Rubber: Factor Static Friction Condition: Dry-0.60 Wet-0.70 Oily-0.30; Factors of Sliding Friction Condition: Dry-0.60 Wet-0.70 Oily-0.10; and (p) Moisture Absorption: MIL-D-3134; 1.0 percent maximum. Resistance to Temperature and Humidity. The Conductive Flooring system shall be resistant to changes in temperature and humidity. Service temperature range of flooring shall be 0 deg. F to 220 deg. F. Humidity changes shall not affect conductivity of flooring within the limits hereinafter specified. High humidity produces higher conductivity or lower electrical resistance and a low humidity produces higher resistance. Resistance to Solvents, Chemicals and Cleaning Agents ? Conductive flooring system must be resistance to water, steam cleaning agents, solvents, and any chemical compounds (including nitroglycerin) processed in conductive floor area. Flooring must be able to withstand kill solutions that are used to deactivated spilled explosives. Conductivity ? The electrical resistance between conductive floor and static ground system of the building shall be 25,000 ohms minimum and 500,000 ohms maximum. Performance Qualification Test ? Contractor shall submit twenty-nine (29) samples for testing. One sample must be a minimum of 3? by 1? on a non-conductive backing. One sample shall be provided with manufacturer?s recommended method of ground connection installed as part of the sample, including free length of #6 solid copper wire. A complete assembly of ground connection method shall be submitted separate from the flooring samples. Remaining samples shall be 1? by ??. Name and address of manufacturer of the material shall be listed on back of large sample. All literature and test reports shall accompany submitted samples. Contractor shall submit certified test reports performed in the last two years certifying their product meets all spec requirements. Conductivity and compatibility tests will be performed by IHDIVNAVSURFWARCEN on samples submitted. Chemical compatibility test will be run with the following: Acetone; Trichloroethane; Alcohol; casting solvent (Nitroglycerine and 2NDPA); NG Killer (Sodium Sulfide/Alcohol/Acetone); ELBA Solvent (Ethyl Lactate/Butyl Acetate); Ether; Water and Other chemicals as approved by IHDIVNAVSURFWARCEN Safety Department. Test Procedure ? The 1? by ?? samples will be divided in two groups of three for each chemical, placed in glass vials, and soaked in appropriate chemical. First group of samples will be drawn after 1 hour, second after 24 hours, and third after 48 hours to be examined for signs of incompatibility. Forty-eight hour samples will be visually inspected at 2, 4, 8 hour intervals. Samples drawn for inspection will be examined for: surface dulling; surface attack, such as softening, warping, swelling, blistering, peeling raised or rough area; color change; and bending characteristics, such as brittleness, fragmentation, or disintegration. Category Rating ? Each category will be rated as unbreakable/breakable. Any additional information, which describes more accurately the effects of the chemicals on the sample, shall be documented in writing. Absorption Test ? At the IHDIVNAVSURFWARCEN Safety Department?s option, the 1? by ?? samples will be weighted for NG absorption. Provide all required samples, tests, and certifications, etc required by this announcement to Sherri Stonestreet, Contract Specialist, at OICC/ROICC NAVFACENGCOM Contracts, Bldg 503, Indian Head Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head, MD 20640-5035, within 10 calendar days from the date this notice is initially published. In the absence of other qualifying sources, it is the intent of this agency to identify Coroline 510 manufactured by Ceilcote Corrosion Control, a Division of SGL Acotec, formerly the Ceilcote Company as the name brand product within the construction documents for all upcoming IHDIVNAVSURWARCEN projects for fiscal years 2004 through and including 2009, as no other type of equipment will satisfy the minimum requirements. This announcement does not constitute an IFB or an RFP and is not construed as a commitment by the Government. The IHDIVNAVSURFWARCEN is not responsible for nor will it reimburse firms for any cost incurred in responding to the notice.
