- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology has a requirement for a SENSOR MOUNTING FRAME to be used in the Building Fire and Research Laboratory (BFRL) at NIST, Gaithersburg, Maryland The contractor shall furnish one (1) sensor mounting frame installed in the IACJS testbed. System is to include the frame, equipment mounting accessories, manuals, drawings, maintenance tool kit (if specialized tools are required), and applicable warranties. ***BACKGROUND The National Institute of Standards and Technology is seeking to purchase an elevated SENSOR MOUNTING FRAME that is capable of securely supporting multiple sensors and miscellaneous equipment and that provides easy re-adjustment of sensor locations. The SENSOR MOUNTING FRAME will need to be elevated around a lab perimeter with approximate dimensions of 16 m (length) x 15 m (width) by 7 m (height). The FRAME will form a continuous closed loop around the lab perimeter and will be self-supporting. Sensors placed on the FRAME will be part of a larger Sensor Network used to support experiments in the Intelligent and Automated Construction Job Site (IACJS) testbed. Therefore, the FRAME must form a rigid support structure in order to minimize vibrations and deflections. ***All interested Offerors shall provide a quote for the following line item(s): LINE ITEM 0001: The Contractor shall furnish one (1) SENSOR MOUNTING FRAME installed in the IACJS testbed. System is to include the frame, equipment mounting accessories, manuals, drawings, maintenance tool kit (if specialized tools are required), and applicable warranties. *** The system shall meet or exceed the following technical specifications: Offerors MUST meet or exceed each specification requirement listed below except where "preferred" specifications are noted.

It is the contractor who is responsible for measuring all critical dimensions onsite in order to insure that the frame will fit the given space properly and not interfere with existing equipment or critical maintenance points. No demonstration models, used or refurbished systems will be considered. MINIMUM TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 1. UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED LOAD: 100 kg/m. 2. CENTER POINT LOAD: 50 kg. 3. MAXIMUM DEFLECTION: 20 mm. Preference will be given to Vendors who can achieve a lower level of deflection 4. Durable, matt black finish 5. The frame must be free standing 6. VERTICAL DROPS: Offeror will provide at least 10 movable assemblies that provide vertical mounting points for sensors below the 7 m elevation perimeter. The vertical drops must have a minimum length of 4 m and must be capable of supporting at least 50 kg each. *** Installation/Training/Warranty 1.
