54 -- MODULAR FLOORING SOL DAAK60-96-U-0013 DUE 043096 POC Janet O'Callahan, SUSD, SSB (508) 233-4237 (Site Code DAAK60) The U.S. Army Natick Research, Development and Engineering Center has a requirement for modular flooring to be used with army tents and staging bases. There are two types of flooring required: one which is for short term applications (possibly a geosynthetic semi-permeable or impervious membrane that can be deployed quickly and directly onto muddy, wet or snowy ground), the other type is more of a long term solution for base camps. They shall support a minimum of 25 lb/sq/ft load. This requirement will vary depending on the application. It could be as high as 65 lb/sq/ft. The preferred design is a metal frame stucture, with the option of using plywood panel and/or other material for decking. The components must be resistant to the effects of snow, rain, wind and corrosion and have a long storage life. The flooring should be easy to deploy with the use of no minimum tools. Send information about your company and product to Janet O'Callahan at the address above. This notice is(0120)
