54 -- SCAFFOLDING MATERIAL SOL n/a DUE 033198 POC Ms. Katie Palmer (360)476-2106 The following information is provided in an effort to find a potential source of light weight scaffolding material. The material will be used to build heavy duty platforms and sub roof supports, as well as other heavy load applications. The sub roof support should be able to support two 56 foot by 30 foot sub roofs weighing 18,500 pounds each, and support a 25 pound per foot snow load. The supports will be built 60 feet high. Current material is 3 inch tube and coupler material (big pipe), which too heavy to handle and is becoming obsolete. Replacement material would require hot dipped galvanization, or other treatment, as material fill be flooded with salt water twice a year. A desirable feature is the ability to marry the big pipe replacement material with 2 inch Tublox tube and coupler scaffolding. Any interested source is requested to provide information on type and availability of replacement material. Include a description of material characteristics, including a discussion of the material's ability to withstand salt water and the potential for joining the replacement material to the big pipe with Tublox. Send information to the Fleet and Industrial Supply Center Puget Sound (address noted above), to the attention of Katie Palmer (Code 205.KT). Information can be faxed to (360) 476-6479 or e-mailed to katie_palmer@puget.fisc.navy.mil. Response is due by 31 March 1998. (0069)
