CABLE CARRIER REPLACEMENT PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to provide all materials, tools, and equipment needed for the removal, disposal and installation services of the plating line cable carrier system replacement. The old plastic Energy Chain (E-Chain) cable carrier system shall be replaced with the new E-Chain and 316 stainless steel trough for a total of up to eight (8) plating lines located in building 20128, for the 402nd Commodities Maintenance Group (CMXG), Robins Air Force Base, Georgia. Each plating line has two (2) overhead hoists in which each hoist has a cable carrier. This is a build to print acquisition with service (installation) incidentals. This requirement is for a one (1) year basic contract plus three (3) one (1) year exercisable option periods. The estimated quantities will be for a total of up to eight (8) plating lines, two (2) each year until all eight (8) are complete. �� This requirement will replace the cable carrier for each hoist along each of the plating lines. The cable carrier is an essential piece of the hoist operation to prevent damage to cables and provide a smooth transition of the hoist up and down the plating line. The plating line cable carrier provides coatings that protect aircraft from corrosion and premature failure. Currently, the cable carrier is made of thin plastic material not specifically designed for the corrosive environment in which it is exposed. The new cable carrier system shall have a more robust, durable, thicker material that can handle the day-to-day exposure to the corrosive environment along with normal usage on each plating line. The requirement will include all new cables, 316 stainless steel track in which the carrier will sit in, cable separators within the carrier, tow arm that hooks to the hoist strain relief clamps and installation. This requirement shall be IAW attached Product Description, Line 1 Hoist 1 Drawing, Line 1 Hoist 2 Drawing, Lines 2-4 Hoist 1 Drawing, and Hoist Structure Layout Drawing for this requirement.
