This solicitation shall be awarded on a sole source basis to Intermountain Design, Inc., Salt Lake City, UT. The standard industrial classification code for this solicitation is 3861 with a size standard of 500 employees. The following items are required: CLIN 0001: Spherical Display Screen (1 ea.). Statement of Work dated 15 July 1998 applies and follows: 1.0 SCOPE. This statement of work (SOW) establishes the requirements for the manufacture, construction, installations, and surface finishing and painting for a spherical, dome display. The dome shall be installed at NAWCTSD, 12350 Research Parkway, Orlando, Florida. 2.0 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS. None. 3.0 REQUIREMENTS. The seller shall provide all necessary personnel, supervision, materials, services, and equipment. (including any necessary special automated apparatus needed to prepare and paint to the interior surface of the dome.) 3.1 Display requirements. The display shall consist of a truncated section of a 20-ft (nominal) spherical shell. The interior is to be precision finished to enable display of projected imagery of high quality, without blemishes or variations in appearances which are not characteristic of the source imagery. The following shall apply to the completed display as installed finished and painted. 3.1.1 Configuration. The dome shall be 21-feet diameter inside. Other dome dimensions shall be as specified below and in Figure 1. Figure 1 is notional and specific mechanical details are subject of discussion with vendor. A rectangular opening for entrance/egress shall be provided with two doors opening to either side. The door interior shall be the cut-out section of screen, fitted to blend in with the screen and to provide a light tight seal. A flexible skirt or similar means may be used for as much as 2-feet of the bottom of the door to achieve a light tight fit without interference with the floor. A metal rim or similar means shall be provided around the top and bottom. It shall be designed ensure mechanical stability, to provide a means to attach other fixtures such as lights, covers, and the like, and to distribute the weight uniformly on the floor. The width of the floor pad shall be not less than 3 inches. 3.1.2 Optical gain and uniformity. -- Average optical gain shall be 3.0 +/- 0.4. Localized variations in gain shall not be great enough to reveal blotches, streaks, lines, or other irregularities in the observed gain (luminance) when the surface is uniformly illuminated. The gain of any two nearby points (within 10 degrees, measured from the center) shall not vary by more than 5 percent throughout the screen area. No two points shall vary by more than 10% for any two points. Adjacent panels of the display surface shall be butted together and secured with bolted flanges on the exterior. Joints shall be filled and finished to provide a smooth continuous display surface with no gain variations in excess of 10 percent and no visual indications of the joints and seams. 3.1.3 Dome material. -- The dome shall be constructed of rigid fiberglass with a minimum thickness of 1/8 inch. 3.1.4 Exterior finish. -- The exterior of the dome shall be painted per a color to be specified by the buyer. 3.1.5 Environmental requirements. Paint shall be latex based with low or no VOC (volatile organic compounds). 3.2 Work tasks. The seller shall provide all necessary personnel, supervision, materials, services, tools and equipment. (including any necessary special automated apparatus needed to prepare and paint to the interior surface of the dome.) 3.2.1 Installation. -- The seller shall install the dome in a designated room in the main NAWCTSD building in Research Park, Orlando, Fl. The location and orientation in the room is to be specified by the buyer. Figure 1 depicts the general layout. The room size exceeds 30 X 30 feet with structural beams limiting vertical clearance to approximately 11.5 feet. The projector support structure may be already installed prior to screen installation. 3.2.2 Surface preparation. -- The seller shall prepare the interior surface of the dome panels, to include all necessary seam filling and sanding of the panel surface, for application of the high gain paint. Extreme uniformity of curvature and freedom from small local variations is required to ensure meeting the gain uniformity requirement. The exterior surface shall be finished suitable for painting. Dust from the finishing process shall be exhausted to exterior of the building. 3.2.3 Painting. -- The seller shall apply a reflective paint to the finished interior surface to achieve a projection surface meeting the requirements of 3.1.2 above. The paint blend used shall be designed for projection screen applications. Painting shall be done between 6:00 PM on Friday and 6:00 PM on the following Sunday to minimize impact on building occupants. 4.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE 4.1 Contractor quality assurance. The contractor shall perform the usual quality checks on workmanship and materials. 4.2 Inspection and Test. -- The seller and buyer shall jointly conduct a general workmanship and materials inspection. In addition they shall jointly perform gain and uniformity testing, to verify compliance with 3.1.2, on the finished and painted screen surface as follows: A light source shall be mounted at the geometric center of the dome panels; Luminance measurements shall be taken of a Lambertian reference material placed at the projection surface. Measurements shall be made from the geometric center of the dome panel to thirty six points on the projection surface chosen by the purchaser. Luminancemeasurements for each screen location above will then be repeated measuring directly from the finished projection surface. For this application, gain is the ratio of the luminance of the reflective paint to the luminance of the Lambertian reference. Luminance variation between two points is defined as 100 X (the brighter minus the dimmer) divided by the brighter. 4.3 Warranty The seller shall guarantee workmanship and material for a period of one year from completion of work identified herein. Delivery shall be made within 60 days to NAWCTSD Orlando, FL 32826-3275. Delivery shall be made FOB Destination.
