- Description
- The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, China Lake, CA is issuing a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Part 12.6. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation Number N68936-06-T-0128 is issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ). All responsible sources may submit a quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division China Lake CA intends to procure on a full and open competition basis one (1) large target in the shape of a trapezoidal wall. The Navy is testing a new fire fighting and countermeasures washdown concept for ships. Testing is to occur as soon as possible, and begin no later than September 21st, 2006, at the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division at China Lake. The Navy will acquire a fire test article that consists of a large target in the shape of a trapezoidal wall. The wall will be mounted on a rail at NAWCWD's Supersonic Naval Ordnance Research Track (SNORT). The Navy requires the wall to be lightweight and rigid. It should be a space-frame structure clad with a ribbed sheet-metal sheath. It is anticipated that the structural elements will be fabricated off-site, with final assembly/erection occurring onsite. The wall will be canted 20 degrees from vertical and supported from behind by structural pipe. The wall will be mounted on the eastern track at SNORT and a suitable mass will be available to mount the pipe supports to prevent wind tipping the wall over. The structure will be designed to stand in a 60 knot wind. In addition to the mass for attachment to the structural support pipes behind the wall, the wall will also be secured with guy wires (1/2" steel rope and turnbuckles). To support testing, a 3/8" plywood sheath will be attached to the wall by the Navy prior to being erected. The wall will be painted by the Navy, and an environmental coating (clear polyethylene sheet) will be used by the Navy to cover the wall. Ten one-square-foot holes will be cut in the wall by the Navy as water collection ports. The location of these ports will be determined by the Navy. The wall will stand sixty feet tall from base to top when canted over at 20 degrees. The length of the base of the wall must be 70 feet. The length of the top of the wall must be 23 feet and 4 inches. The angle between the bottom of the wall and its sides will be 69 degrees. The trapezoidal sides of the wall should then be 64 feet long. The wall will have water sprayed at it, which will be collected via the water ports and measured. Testing will occur under 5 to 20 knot wind. Additional testing will require the Navy to cut a hole in the wall approximately 10 feet from the bottom of the wall. The hole will be ellipsoidal in shape, 5 feet long and 2 feet high. Wall may require a crane for erection. NAWCWD China Lake requires all crane work to be done with a certified crane. Several companies provide certified cranes for on-center work. Offerors may wish to contact one of them for its crane needs. Examples of companies with NAWCWD China Lake certified cranes are T & T Crane (661-393-0795), Bragg (800-892-7263), and Turner Crane (661-399-9377). Awardee shall require access to NAWCWD China Lake's north range. This requires workers with U.S. citizenship. Awardee will provide analysis of expected loads under nominal wind conditions (60 knots) four weeks prior to arrival at NAWCWD China Lake to begin wall construction. Engineering drawings and "as-builts" are due at project completion.
