This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Propelectrical box that cordgrip must be loosened in order to get box cover open. P/I new (proper length) power leads. Rmv (too short) electrical power leads to brake on 2 ton hoist. P/I new (proper length) power leads. Rmv existing bridge truck structural tie point bolt having wedge washer improperly oriented (which has imparted a bend in bolt). P/I new ASTM A325 bolt of proper diameter with wedge washer oriented to allow bolt to remain straight after being torqued. BRIDGE # 3: Rmv existing (too short) electrical leads to trolley motor. P/I new (proper length) electrical leads to trolley motor. Rmv reverse mounted chain can on 2 ton hoist. Reinstall chain can in proper orientation.

BRIDGE # 4: Tighten all electrical conduit connections/fittings that are mounted on panel box or motor panels. BRIDGE # 5: R/R bent motor mounting platform support on bridge motor. Rmv existing (too short) trolley motor cable. P/I new (proper length) trolley motor cable. BRIDGE # 6: R/R motor mount for bridge motor. (Existing motor mount has weld bead length that is too short which provides insufficient structural rigidity.) BRIDGE # 7: Troubleshoot bridge drive to determine cause of failure to operate. R/R bridge drive as necessary. Rmv over-sized electrical capacity/size power cables to each 7 1/2 ton hoist. P/I new proper capacity/size power cable to each hoist. Rmv 3/4 inch diameter structural bolt at southeast girt structural tie point. P/I shim between structural members and reinstall bolt. Torque bolt to proper amount.

[Special note regarding inspection of bridges #1, #7 and #8. Each of these bridges have several of 16 wheels (8 wheels per side) which presently are not in contact with (and therefore do not impart any of load to) flange of supporting I-beam. Reason for this is that some bridge wheel axle holes have been improperly located too high on bridge frame, with result that those wheels do not contact I-beam. Opposite problem is also true, namely, some bridge wheel axle holes have been placed too low on bridge frame, with result that those wheels carry entire w8 of bridge, and impart entire load to I-beam through those wheels. Kr shall disassemble and inspect these bridge trucks and recommend repairs needed to ensure all 8 wheels of each bridge contact supporting I-beam and that all 8 wheels on each side equally share any load placed on bridge. Kr shall provide a list of materials and labor cost required to repair these 3 bridges to Contracting Officer (CO).] 1/2 ton jib crane: Rmv all non-structural type bolts used to attach jib boom to pedestal. P/I new ASTM A325 type structural type bolts of proper diameter. Torque bolts to proper amount. P/I swing stops on pedestal to prevent damage to crane. P/I operator warning tube on hand chain directly above hook. P/I instructions on pedestal for operator to wipe chain with an oily rag at least once each week in order to impede rust buildup on chain.
