- Statement of Work Shock Tube/Acoustic Blast Wave Generator A.GENERAL INFORMATION 1.Title of Request: Shock Tube/Acoustic Blast Wave Generator 2.Type of Contract Contemplated: Firm Fixed Price Supply Contract B.SCOPE The Contractor shall design, fabricate, conduct training and install a shock tube (The peak overpressure field resulting from shocks emerging from circular shock tubes. Fluids Eng. 132: 081204-1). Installation will take place at the Buffalo VA Medical Center. Services will be coordinated between the Contractor and the COR (Contracting Officer Representative) to develop a project schedule for this requirement. The Contractor shall possess the appropriate qualifications for developing shock tubes for conducting research projects. The objectives and performance criteria for each task are provided below. C.REQUIREMENT/SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS/SPECIFICATIONS Objective 1-Shock Tube Design - The results of the design effort will be presented to Buffalo VA Medical Center in a progress report or presentation and fabrication drawings of the shock tube will be prepared. Acceptance of the design will be received prior to shock tube fabrication. Design criteria for the shock tube is provided. "Does not require use of explosives "180 - 200 decibel SPL, 40 - 60 kPa "Air-containing driver section made from PVC tube with metal shielding; PVC has pressure rating of 166 PSIG "Thin brass diaphragm pierced by solenoid-actuated arrow to create acoustic shock wave, under computer control "32-in driver section of PVC connected to 15-in low-pressure expansion chamber, separated by a 2-in union containing the brass diaphragm "Driver section enclosed within 4-in Al tube for safety "Rubber O-ring used to seal brass diaphragm "Driver section accommodates a 100-psi static pressure transducer to monitor driver pressure "Moving component of solenoid attached to a hunting arrow by a support machined from a Teflon cylinder "Shock tube terminates in a PVC cap permitting insertion of compressed air connection plus electrical contacts providing input to solenoid "Control module regulates, monitors, and transmits driver tube pressure and temperature to computer; includes process monitoring device and air pressure controller "Signals for integrating pressure regulation and firing of shock tube are generated by a real-time signal processor; data collection controlled by processor at a sampling rate of 100 kHz "System must tolerate pressure generated by shop air at 85 psig, with readout from a 586 kPa gauge "Air supply is filtered to remove trace contaminants (oils) and particulates larger than 40 micom diameter to prevent damage to electronic flow components in control module "Pressure transducer senses initial loading pressure up to 75% of desired setting, then reduces flow to prevent premature diaphragm rupture Objective 2- Shock Tube Fabrication- The approved shock tube design will be fabricated and prepared for performing proof testing at a Contractors facility. Proof of completion will be provided in a progress report including photographs of the completed and assembled shock tube. The progress report will include documentation of control systems for shock tube operation, but not of data acquisition system Objective 3- Shock Tube Proof Testing- A series of tests will be performed in the new shock tube to demonstrate the shock tube capabilities. The testing shall successfully demonstrate that the shock tube meets the performance criteria provided under Objective 1. A progress report will be provided documenting the successful proof testing of the shock tube. Objective 4- Training of VA Personnel and Specimen Retention System Development- The Contractor will provide 3 days of training to Buffalo VA Medical Center personnel in conjunction with the proof testing effort. The training will allow operation of the shock tube and provided data acquisition system by Buffalo VA Medical Center personnel under supervision of experienced operators of shock tubes. It is anticipated that 10-12 tests can be conducted in a 3 day period. A progress report summarizing the number of personnel involved in the training and number of tests will be provided at the end of training. Objective 5- Acquisition System for Measurement of Test Loads- A four channel data acquisition system will be provided to record test loads at the test specimen location. A system data package will be delivered along with the system hardware to complete this objective. Objective 6- On-Site Installation of Shock Tube- Install aforementioned components and verify their proper function. The shock tube and data acquisition system will be delivered to the Buffalo VA Medical Center and installed in a prepared laboratory by the Contractors staff. Complete installation and conduct of a single demonstration test will constitute completion of this objective. Objective 7- Design Documentation- All design and proof testing documentation will be compiled with operational guidance information in a final written document. A draft document will be provided upon installation of the shock tube. A final version will be provided within one week after receipt and resolution of comments on the draft document or 30 days after submittal of the draft document. Submittal of the final document constitutes completion of this task. D.Delivery Delivery made to: Buffalo VA Medical Center- ATTN: Dr. Fliesler (Research Service) 3495 Bailey Avenue Buffalo, NY 14215-1129 FOB Destination- 30 Days ARO E.Government-Furnished Property, Material, Equipment, or Information (GFP, GFM, GFE, or GFI) There will be no Government- Furnished property, equipment or information provided. F.Security There are no security considerations. The Contractor will not have access to Government systems or secured areas. G.Place of Performance Buffalo VA Medical Center- ATTN: Dr. Fliesler (Research Service) 3495 Bailey Avenue Buffalo, NY 14215-1129 H.Recognized Holidays: Contractors will not be allowed to work on Federal holidays. Services may resume on the next working day or scheduled accordingly with the COR. Federal holidays are: New Year's Day Labor Day Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday Columbus Day President's Day Veteran's Day Memorial Day Thanksgiving Day Independence Day Christmas Day I.Contracting Officer Representative: Delegation of Authority letter(s) shall be forwarded to the using service and Contractor after agreement has been signed, identifying the individual(s) as the COR(s). No service shall be provided without the approval of the COTR or his/her designee of this contract. The Contractor shall not accept any instructions issued by any other person(s) other than the Contracting Officer or his/her delegated representative(s) acting within the limits of his/her authority.
