Use this form to record purchase of parts for the crane (in the event defective crane parts are found/replaced) or in the event a problem remains after completion of the inspection/weight test. SUBJECT: USE OF CAFB FIRE HYDRANT WATER FOR CRANE TEST WEIGHTS 1. A contractor who wishes to use water (if available) obtained from CAFB fire hydrants to fill a crane test weight bag or tank must use the following guidelines: a. Before opening a hydrant, the contractor must provide the fire department dispatcher, (phone # 963 3777) with a beeper number or cellular phone number where the contractor can be reached. The contractor must inform the dispatcher that he is planning to open a particular hydrant for the purpose of drawing water to fill a crane test weight. Contractor must tell the dispatcher the approximate number of gallons he expects to draw out. The contractor must also provide the dispatcher with an estimate of the approximate number of minutes he will be drawing water from that fire hydrant. Under "normal" circumstances, the contractor will be allowed to draw the amount of water he needs. b. However, the contractor will be told not to draw water from the hydrant, if (at that moment) the Fire Department is aware of problems that would be exacerbated by drawing water and that drawing water would endanger our mission. In that event, the contractor will be asked to call the Fire Department back in a half-hour or so, and again ask whether he can draw water from the hydrant. If the Fire Department grants permission to draw water from a fire hydrant, then becomes aware of a water emergency, the Fire Department dispatcher will call the contractor and ask him to (temporarily) stop drawing water from the fire hydrant. 2. When the contractor has completed weight testing the crane with the water filled test weights, he must dump the test weight water into a storm drain or into a sewer drain. (It is important to note that the contractor must not dump the test weight water out on top of the ground, and expect the water to soak into the ground.) Storm drains are drains having an open grating (such as a floor drain inside a building) or an open ditch. Sewer drains have solid steel covers that may be temporarily removed for dumping water. There is no requirement for the contractor to notify the fire department (or anyone else) when the contractor dumps the water into a storm or a sewer drain. 3. The contractor must pay $800 to use CAFB water for filling crane test weights used for weight testing the 35 ton crane at building #178. NOTE: SITE VISIT IS SCHEDULED FOR JULY 17 2000 AT 11:00 FOR CONTRACTORS- SITE VISIT FOR BUILDING 543 (REFERENCE NUMBER F38610-00-P-0114) WILL FOLLOW IMMEDIATELY AFTER. 52.212-2 -- Evaluation -- Commercial Items.
