Bay-3: A heavy-duty vertical rack 29-1/16"w x 24"d x 71-7/8"h.(including base) w/panel opening of 24-1/16"w x 63-1/8"h. Construction: Frames shall be constructed of 14-gauge, cold rolled sheet steel, formed channels having seven mutually perpendicular bends to form 3/4" deep recesses at the front, rear, top, bottom, and sides of the sub-assembly. Frame sides shall have 1-1/8" wide flanges in which 1/4" diameter holes shall be drilled on the 3-1/2" centers vertically for the attachment of angle Mounting Angle Support Channels and Side Closure Panels. The faces of the frame channel members shall measure 1-3/4" in width. Frame transverse members shall be formed of 14-gauge cold rolled sheet steel with seven mutually perpendicular bends to form 3/4" deep ledges to match the frame sides. The ends of the transverse members are formed to match the formed ledges or recesses in the frame sides. Frame-side sub-assemblies shall be arc welded at the corners and ground smooth. Transverse members shall be arc welded to the frame-side sub-assemblies at the inside ends of the transverse members on two planes to form the double-ledge, double plane corner at the intersection of the transverse members with the frame sides. Arc welding shall use the tungsten inert gas shielded process. Panel Mounting Angles (PMAs): Each vertical rack shall have (4) four Panel Mounting Angles bolted to vertically adjustable Angle Support Channels with 1/4-20 hex head screws engaging 1/4-20 cage nuts in the support channel. Panel Mounting Angles shall be made of hot rolled steel formed into an angle shape 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 3/16", edge rolled to eliminate sharp edges. They shall have a series of #10-32 diameter tapped holes per EIA Standard RS-310 (Rev SE-102) for use with spring type fasteners. A separate series of 5/16" diameter punched holes shall be provided for bolting the PMAs to the support channels. All PMAs shall be zinc plated per Fed Spec 00-Z-325type II Class 3. PMA Support Channels: Each vertical rack shall have eight(8) (four per side), Panel Mounting Angle Support Channels, formed of 16-gauge cold rolled steel and attached to the frame-sided weldments by four 10BA x 23/32 Phillips hex head sheet metal screws and four spring type fasteners for each channel. PMA Support Channels shall be vertically adjustable in 3-1/2" increments along the 1-1/8" frame-side flanges. They shall have 11/32" square holes along their center line, on 1-3/4" centers, to accept snap-in 1/4-20 cage nuts for the attachment of Panel Mounting Angles. Bases: Each vertical rack shall have a removable base made of 12-gauge cold rolled steel, formed to a channel section of 3-1/2" high with 1" flanges and bolted to the rack frame weldment by four 1/4-20 x 3/2" hex head Sems machine screws and 1/4-20 hex Keps Nuts. Triangular, flinged, 12-gauge anchor plates with 5/8" diameter mounting holes shall be spot welded into the bottom corners of the base for stability. Side Panels: A removable side panel with latch shall be provided for the outboard side of Bays 1 and 3. Side panels shall be formed of 16-gauge cold rolled steel with return flanges. Rear Doors: Bays 1 and 3 shall be provided with removable rear doors, louvered at the top. Doors shall be formed of 16-gauge cold rolled steel with return flanges and provided with 20-gauge cold rolled sheet steel, hat section, re-inforcements. Each door shall have extruded separable aluminum hinges operating a two-point latching mechanism. Bay 1 doors shall be hinged on the right; Bay 3 doors shall be hinged on the left. Frame Joining: The three bays shall be joined together (side by side) using six(6) 1/4-20 x 1/2" Hex Head Sems machine screws at each joining interface. Finish: Each rack, panels and doors shall be painted smooth with a beige color, alkyd, semi-gloss enamel, baked on. All parts to be painted shall be thoroughly and chemically treated to ensure clean, properly etched surfaces for the application of paint.Award will be made to low-priced technically acceptable offeror.
