FOB Destination: Vicksburg, MS. The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Engineer Research & Development Center (ERDC), Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (GSL) - Airfields & Pavements Branch has a need for the following: Line Item 0001: Rapid-Setting Flowable Fill, Quantity 128, Unit: Cubic Yards, Unit Price: _______, Total Amount_______ Line Item 0002: Shipping of 128 Cubic Yards of Flowable Fill, Quantity 1, Unit: Lump Sum, Unit Price: _______, Total Amount_______ Line Item 0003: 200 lbs of Rapid-Setting Flowable Fill Packaged in Sealed 5-gallon buckets, Quantity 200, Unit: Pounds, Unit Price: _______, Total Amount_______ Line Item 0004: Shipping of 200 lbs of Rapid-Setting Packaged in Sealed 5-gallon buckets, Quantity 1, Unit: Lump Sum, Unit Price: _______, Total Amount_______ Line Item 0005: Option to provide additional Rapid-Setting Flowable Fill, Quantity 500, Unit: Cubic Yards, Unit Price: _______, Total Amount_______ Line Item 0006: Option shipping of additional Rapid-Setting Flowable Fill, Quantity 1, Unit: Lump Sum, Unit Price: _______, Total Amount_______ Purpose The Airfields and Pavements Branch (APB), Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory, US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), in support of US Army and US Air Force missions, has been tasked to develop tactics, techniques, and procedures for rapidly repairing damaged airfield pavements. Previous testing at the ERDC has identified rapid-setting flowable fill as a potential solution to backfill damaged pavements providing minimal interruption of operation. Work One hundred and twenty eight (128) cubic yards of rapid-setting flowable fill are required to backfill 18 simulated bomb craters at the ERDC Poor House testing facility. Materials will be evaluated using both the traditional wet-mixed method and the accelerated dry-placement method. The traditional method includes the use of fixed volume "drum type" or volumetric mixers. The dry-placement method involves dispensing the aggregate-cementitious blend directly into the prepared excavation and metering the required mix-water over the backfill surface. The mix-water is allowed to percolate through the dry material matrix, hydrating the cementitious materials, providing a hardened layer with the properties of in-place flowable fill. ERDC researchers will examine the current rapid repair methods in addition to developing optimized procedures that minimize labor intensity, manpower, equipment, and construction time requirements. Specifications 1.Capability to be placed using both the traditional wet-mixed and dry-placement methods. 2.Ultimate 28-day compressive strength of 750 to 1,200 psi determined in accordance with ASTM International standard test method ASTM D 4832 when placed using the traditional method. 3.Seventy percent (70%) or more of the ultimate 28-day compressive strength must be achieved when placed using the dry-placement method. 4.Initial hardening must be completed in 30 minutes or less determined in accordance with ASTM D 6024. 5.Flow consistency of 8 to 12 inches determined in accordance with ASTM D 6103 when placed using the traditional method. 6.Minimal segregation (< 5%) of solid and liquid mixture proportions determined in accordance with ASTM C 1610 when placed using the traditional method. 7.Minimal linear shrinkage (< 2%) of hardened specimens determined in accordance with ASTM C 426 when placed using the traditional method. Requirements 1.Results of standardized testing, material safety data sheet (MSDS), and optimal mix-water proportions for both the traditional and dry-placement methods must be provided to the technical point of contact (POC) within 30 days of awarding contract. 2.The rapid-setting flowable fill must be packaged in one cubic yard lots capable of uncovered outdoor storage for 36 to 60 months. 3.Two hundred pounds (200 lb) of rapid-setting flowable fill packaged in sealed 5-gallon buckets must be provided in addition to the 128 cubic yards of required material to allow for laboratory verification of standardized testing results. 4.The contractor is responsible for shipping the rapid-setting flowable fill to the ERDC in Vicksburg, MS. 5.Materials shall be received by the ERDC no later than February 3, 2012.
