Statement of Work—1. This Statement of Work (SOW) specifies the relocation of a winch on one 9H1 training device at the Aviation Survival Training Center (ASTC) at the Naval Air Station (NAS) Jacksonville, FL. The scope encompasses the selection of suitable materials and the construction of the relocation modification and fully documenting the altered trainer configuration. This effort requires the contractor to provide personnel, materials, test equipment, and resources necessary to both perform and document the relocation effort. This SOW also specifies the provision of parts kits, without installation or testing, for winch relocations on seven other 9H1 training devices and one 9H1B training device at other sites. 1.1 Definitions. Each 9H1 Helicopter Rescue Hoist Trainer consists of an elevated platform and ladder assembly positioned on the decking edge of a training pool. An additional tower assembly cantilevers out from the top of the platform edge and supports an electrical winch and controls. Steel aircraft cable from the winch is used to hoist students upward from the pool surface to the elevated platform. The 9H1B trainer is identical to the 9H1 except for the addition of a simulated helicopter door on the top platform which the student enters at the completion of his ascent. A pump draws water from the pool and discharges it through four spray nozzles at the student during the ascent. The location of the winch makes servicing and inspection difficult, thus the reason for this relocation to a more accessible location. 1.2 Device 9H1B Trainer Location. One device 9H1B exists. It is serial number 1 located at the ASTC at NAS Pensacola, FL. 1.3 Government-Owned Information. The following documents are available for review and use with respect to completion of the work specified by this SOW: (a) Level II maintenance drawings for the device are available for review. (b) NTSC P-4558-1, Revision B, 31 January 1997, Operation and Maintenance Instructional Manual, Helicopter Rescue Hoist Trainer Device 9H1. (c) NTSC P-4559, Rev A, 1 June 1992, Change 1, 12 June 1996, Maintenance Requirement Cards, Helicopter Rescue Hoist Trainer, Device 9H1. (d) BUMED Quality Assurance and Revalidation Systems Test Criteria, December 1998, Chapter 11 tests for Device 9H1. 1.4 Government Furnished Material. The Government will furnished a new winch for contractor installation on the trainer. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS. 1.5 Non-Government Documents. National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) -- NFPA 70 -- National Electrical 2. REQUIREMENTS. The following requirements apply for the effort at the Jacksonville site. 2.1 General. The contractor shall remove the winch from its existing mounting location on the overhead tower and turn it over to the local Government representative. The contractor shall install the Government-furnished winch r as depicted in Figure 1 and as specified in 3.2 below. The contractor shall perform all other modifications necessary to return the trainer to operable condition. The winch relocation shall be in accordance with Figures 1 through 4 and the following paragraphs. 2.2 Trainer Modification Tasks; Structural. The contractor shall fabricate mounting structures which place the winch away from water spray and out of the way of pedestrian traffic on the pool decking. This location shall be under the tower as depicted in Figures 1 and 3. The winch mounting structure shall be in accordance with Figure 4 and shall be rigid and free from flexure or movement during use. Since the winch assembly is not designed for use in water spray conditions, it shall be fitted with means such as a spray shield to prevent water impingement. Figure 4 provides detailed views of the required winch mounting assembly. 2.3 Trainer Modification Tasks; Cabling. The contractor shall route the cable from the new winch location up to the existing overhead tower so that the cable will extend downward from its original location to the pool surface. Changes in cabling direction shall be made using means such as low-friction sheaves, rollers, or other mechanismswhich bend the cable with a radii no sharper than that found on the winch drum. The new cable routing shall place it out of normal student traffic patterns. The cable shall be shielded with means such as safety guards to prevent user contact for the entire run from the winch to the last sheave at the top of the tower. New cable shall be installed in sufficient length to allow the Rescue Hook assembly at the cable end to reach the bottom of the pool when the cable is fully extended. The existing Rescue Hook assembly shall be reused by installing it at the end of the new cable. Additional weights may be added to the cable above the Rescue Hook assembly as needed to assist in extension of the hook down into the pool. 2.4 Trainer Modification Tasks; Electrical. The contractor shall extend the electrical service for the winch electric motor from the existing location to the new location. This shall include power wiring to the motor and any limit switch wiring. Wiring shall be in conformance with the latest edition of NFPA 70. Wiring methods shall utilize corrosion-resistant materials suitable for exposure to chlorinated pool water. A new disconnect switch shall be provided adjacent to the new winch. 2.5 Trainer Modification Task; Plumbing. The contractor shall modify the trainer water supply plumbing for the Jacksonville site as shown in Figure 3. 2.6 Trainer Modification Tasks; Preservation. All new metal surfaces and the area under the original winch mounting location shall be coated with primer and a finish coat of gray paint to match the existing trainer color. Identification labels and tags shall not be obscured with paint. 2.7 Testing and Inspection. 2.7.1 On-site Pre-modification Inspection. Prior to the start of modification work at Jacksonville, an inspection shall be conducted to determine the condition of the winch and controls. The modification contractor shall witness the operation of the winch by the Government representative. The winch will be operated from the fully retracted to extended position and reverse. The modification contractor shall report any discrepancies or failures in a letter to the Contracting Officer. The information in such letter will be used as a basis to resolve any discrepancies that appear during the final inspection. The lack of submission of such a letter will indicate that the winch operates satisfactorily. 2.7.2 Post-Modification Test methods. The contractor shall perform testing in accordance with the following test methods extracted from the QA&R test criteria. 2.7.2.1 Winch Platform. The contractor shall examine the winch platform and winch assembly. There shall be no indications of loose fasteners, cracked welds or rust. Lower the rescue hook and attach the top end of a strain gage dynamometer to the hook. Route a sling around a lower horizontal support channel of the trainer structure and attach to the lower end of the dynamometer. Take up slack in the cable and increase tension until the dynamometer reaches between 500 pounds and 700 pounds tension. The contractor shall inspect the winch platform and mounting. There shall be no signs of deflection and damage while under tension. 2.7.2.2 Cable. The contractor shall examine the cable. There shall be no indications of kinking and no evidence of wear. The contractor shall run the cable fully up and down with no load attached to the rescue hook. The cable shall remain within the guiding sheaves, rollers, or other mechanisms without tangling. 2.7.2.3 Cable Limit Switches. The contractor shall run the cable fully up and down with no load attached to the rescue hook. The winch shall stop automatically when either upper or lower limit switch is actuated. 2.7.2.4 Rescue Hook. The contractor shall examine the new cable at the rescue hook attaching point for security. 2.7.2.5 Lubrication. The contractor shall examine all new sheaves, pulleys, rollers, and other rotating assemblies for adequate lubrication. 2.7.2.6 Painting. The contractor shall examine all new surfaces for an adequate coating of paint. 2.8 Part Kits. For all sites other than Jacksonville, the contractor shall supply kits consisting of all the parts, parts lists, and assemblies needed for other personnel to perform the same winch relocation. These kits shall be packaged and suitable for shipment by common carrier to each location. See NAWCTSD website for drawings. Acceptance shall be made at destination upon delivery. Delivery shall be made FOB Destination. The following FAR/DFAR provisions and clauses apply to this acquisition: 52.212-1, 52.212-2, 52.212-3, 52.212-4, 52.212-5, 252.212-7001.
