- This is a request for Sources that are interested in receiving future Solicitations for the fabrication of large parts, components, assemblies, etc. used on miter gates at various Lock and Dams managed by the Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District. Quantities procured are usually 2 to 8 each, meaning there is no large production run required. Parts required include and are not limited to: Anchorage Eye Bars, Connection Bars, Gudgeon Pins, Wedge Pins, Center Frames. Statement of Work and Drawings a re contained in the actual Solicitation when it is advertised. The following example is the Anchorage Eye Bar SOW that measures approx. 10 feet length x 2 feet width x 4 inches thick. The materials should conform to the following requirements. MATERIALS. Aluminum Bronze ASTM B148, UNS C95400; Steel Forgings, ASTM A668-96, Carbon Alloy, Class D. MACHINE WORK REQUIREMENTS. All workmanship shall be of the highest grade in accordance with the best modern practices to conform to the specifications for the it em to be furnished. All sharp edges and corners shall be broken. All holes shall be normal to the surfaces of penetration and shall be sized as indicated on the reference drawing. Dimensions and Tolerances. Tolerances for machine-finished surfaces desig nated by non-decimal dimensions shall be within +/- 1/64-inch unless otherwise noted on drawing 0324SN.DGN. Tolerances for dimension to unfinished surfaces shall conform to the standard foundry and/or industry practices. Finished Surfaces. Surfaces indi cated on the drawing number 0324SN.DGN or specified herein, the symbols used or finishes specified shall be in accordance with ANSI B46.1, Surface Texture (Surface Roughness, Waviness and Lay) . Values of required roughness heights are arithmetical avera ge deviation expressed in micro inches. These values are maximums. Lesser degrees will be satisfactory unless otherwise indicated on the drawings. Compliance with surface requirements shall be determined by sense of feel and visual inspection of the wor k compared to Roughness Comparison Specimens in accordance with the provisions of ANSI B46.1. Values of roughness width and waviness height shall be consistent with the general type of finish specified by roughness height. Where the finish is not indicat ed or specified, it shall be that which is most suitable for the particular surface, provide the class of fit required, and be indicated on the shop drawing by a symbol which conforms to ANSI B46.1 when machined finishing is provided. Flaws such as scratc hes, ridges, holes, peaks, cracks or checks which will make the part unsuitable for the intended purpose will be cause for rejection. Threads. Threads shall comply with ASME B1.5, ACME Screw Threads. Protection of Finished Work. Machined surfaces shall be thoroughly cleaned of foreign matter. All finished surfaces shall be protected by suitable means. CASTINGS. Each casting shall bear cast or stamped mark numbers. Dimensions of castings shown on the drawings shall be finished dimensions. Castings that are warped or otherwise distorted or that are oversized to an extent that will interfere with proper fit with other parts will be rejected. The structure of metal in castings shall be homogenous and free from excessive nonmetallic inclusions. Excess ive segregation of impurities or alloys at critical points in castings will be cause for rejection. Repairs to castings shall not be made prior to approval. CERTIFICATION OF MATERIAL COMPLIANCE. Certificates of compliance shall be submitted for all ite ms demonstrating compliance of materials with the specification requirements. The certificate(s) shall verify that the supplied material complies with the established standards for physical and chemical properties for the material specified.

Material Test Reports. Certified test reports for material tests and analyses, examinations, shall be submitted in duplicate for approval. Test rep orts for material reports and analyses shall be identified with specific items prior to fabrication. Nondestructive Testing. Before machining, forgings shall be magnetic particle and ultrasonically tested. Magnetic particle testing shall be in accordanc e with ASTM A275. Ultrasonic testing shall be in accordance with the latest issue of Practice A 388/A 388M. Certified test reports of the ultrasonic testing shall be submitted in duplicate for approval. All nondestructive testing shall be completed by an independent testing laboratory. PATTERNS. Care shall be taken to avoid sharp corners or abrupt changes in cross section and ample fillets shall be used in the construction of patterns. Draft and increases in pattern thickness shall be added as require d to conform to the standard foundry practice applied and as necessary to insure that all metal thickness of the finished castings conform to the dimensions shown on the drawings. Patterns furnished by the contractor shall become the property of the gover nment and shall not be used for work under any other contract unless specifically authorized by the contracting officer.
