- Description
- The Alaska District Corps of Engineers intends to specify an item peculiar to one manufacturer to provide an equipment profiling and weighing system to record vehicle and container weight and dimensions. This is a sources sought not a request for pr oposal. No solicitation will be available, however, all submittals received within 45 days after the date of publication will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete the system requirement based on the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The system must be capable to weigh 50,000 lbs per axle and will be permanently installed in a new state of the art cargo processing facility Fort Richardson, Alaska. The system will autom atically calculate the center of balance and cube data comparable to the Intercomp AX-920WIM System. The list below has the features of the weigh in motion system and the laser profiling system. WEIGH IN MOTION SYSTEM - A. One (1) in-ground WIM platform with connecting cables and plugs. 1. Capable of weighing in static and dynamic modes 2. Construction: steel with diamond tread surface 3. Capacity: 50,000 lb. per axle. 4. Overload protection: Up to 150% of rated capacity. 5. Speed: Up to 10 miles per hour. 6. Accuracy: better than 1% at 0-3 mph, better than 3% at 4-10 mph (% based on applied load). B. Central Control Terminal consisting of WIM Indicator 1. Indicator must contain the following: a. Digital electronic (Electro-Mechanical 5 Digit) display b. One (1) serial port for downloading data c. Electronic roll printer high speed d. Electronic printer uses paper with a width of 2.4 inches and produces the following information: " Axle load (1 to 16) " Gross vehicle weight " Date and time " Site identification code e. Additional limits and data are programmable as follows: " Scale graduation of 20, 50 or 100 lbs. C. Notebook Computer for data collection purposes and computation of the following information: a. Minimum Pentium 4 Processor, 14 inch Display, Standard Commercial Grade with MS Windows XP OS. b. Custom software to enter vehicle ID and collects the following data in either MS Access or Excel. " Individual Axle Weight " Total Weight " Vehicle Center of Balance (distance measured in inches referenced from front bumper). " Location Setup " Session Setup " Administration Screen " Equipment List Screen " Import Equipment List " Static/Dynamic Switching Real time " Axle Spacing " Tare Weight " Identification c. Collected data must be organized to provide a complete report of all vehicles weight, identifying date, time, operator, location. d. Control of Stop/Go lights e. Bar Code interface for 2 & 3 D labels D. Stop/Go Lights E. Large remote (6 Digit LED) display F. Additional Features " The load cells are constructed from stainless steel, have a pressurized glass seal and are fully welded instead of potted. " The junction box is constructed from ABS plastic and is IP67/NEMA 4X rated. " Electronics operate at a temperature range of 14 to 122 degrees F. The platform operates at a temperature range of 15 to 175 degrees F. " Calibration testing is possible between 500 and 50,000 lbs. LASER PROFILING SYSTEM - " Static Accuracy o height +/- 1% + +/- 1 inches of total weight o width +/- 1% + +/- 1 inches of total width o length +/- 1% + +/- 1 inches of total length " Dynamic Accuracy o height +/- 1% + +/- 1 inches of total weight o width +/- 1% + +/- 1 inches of total width o length +/- 1% + +/- 3 inches of total length " Dual Control Consoles One for profiling system and one for weighing system. Each console must be able to run the entire system in case of console failure. " Control Consoles must interface with Government owned scales, models PT300 and LP600 Wheel Load Scales, AX900 axle scales and LS700 WIM System. The Alaska District Corps of Engineers request interested firms to respond with their capabilities and marketing materials that identify the features of the equipment by e-mail: Michael.suprenant@us.army.mil., CEPOA-CT-CM, PO Box 6898, Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska 99506-0898.
