The Air Force Development Test Center (AFDTC), Eglin AFB FL, intends to award a contract for rental of a 140 ton or higher capacity construction crane and the services of the crane's operator. The solicitation number for this announcement is F08651-97-Q-1095 and is issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ). Work will consist of erection of targets composed of 20 x 20 x 1 meter and 2 x 2 x 1 concrete blocks. Work may begin on 11 Jan 97, however this date is subject to change due to mission requirements. Performance period for this construction will be 10 days, and may require weekend work. A period of approximately two weeks will be required for testing, and upon completion of the test the target must be disassembled. The period allowed for disassembly will be 20 days. Vendors will be required to submit a cost estimate on two different options of construction, and cost of disassembly. A cost estimate is also required for the approximately two week period of testing, to include post construction teardown and commencement costs for disassembly. If contractor desires, the crane may be left on the Eglin AFB Reservation during the two week testing phase, however a cost estimate must be given for this option, if used. The government will provide a 35 long by 13.5 wide trailer with a bed height of 5 10, a 230 ton capacity, and an Oshkosh tractor and driver, if necessary, to transport the concrete blocks.
