99 -- STEEL PILE PROTECTION SYSTEM, NAVAL SUBMARINE BASE, KINGS BAY, GA. SOL N47408-98-Q-3753 POC Anita M. Norris, Contract Specialist, (202) 433-5310 or Rita D. Palmore, Contracting Officer, (202) 433-5313 Procure a steel pile corrosion protection system (materials only) which meets AWWA Standard C-217 to protect 267 steel piles (172 piles of 24-in diameter, and 95 piles of 30-in. diameter). The system must encapsulate a 12-ft length of pile within the tidal zone, and must both arrest the corrosion process and guard against mechanical abrasion from harbor craft and floating objects. The system shall arrest the steel corrosion with the use of a petrolatum anti-corrosion inhibitor(s) with a minimum thickness totaling 90-mils and guard against mechanical abrasion with the use of a single sheet of 100-mil High Density Polyethylene Plastic (HDPE) outer cover which meets the minimum values for the following ASTM Test Method standards: TESTED PROPERTY TEST METHOD MINIMUM VALUES Thickness ASTM D 751/159/5199 90-mils Tear Resistance ASTM D 1004 75-lbs Puncture Resistance FTMS 101, Method 2065 130-lbs Environmental Stress Crack Resistance ASTM D 1693, Condition B 1500-hr The banding material for the out cover shall be made of 0.045-in thick x 1-in wide marine grade 5052 aluminum alloy. The banding fasteners shall be made of the same material. Spacing of the banding shall not exceed 12-in over the length of the outer cover. The system installation shall require only removal of existing marine growth and existing corrosion blisters. The steel pile corrosion protection system must be proven on existing U.S. Navy waterfront structures. See Note 1. (0065)
