THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT ANNOUNCEMENT ONLY. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. The 355th Contracting Squadron is conducting market research to seek providers of a Bead Blast Booth at Davis-Monthan AFB, Tucson AZ. NAICS is 423830 - Industrial Machinery and Equipment Merchant Wholesalers. Work will include purchase/installation of a Bead Blast Booth and installation of an enclosure to contain the booth . The contractor shall design the project to match existing buildings within an industrial maintenance area. There are two possible sites for installation. See Attachment: Site Pictures The enclosure will be constructed on an existing cement foundation. The Bead Blast Booth (2 operator package) minimum requirements are: I. Plastic Media Blasting (PMB) Booth with the following minimum specifications: dimension 20W x 12H x 40L with (1) Air Wall AutoClean Dust Collection System, Breathing Air System for two operators, an Automatic Above-Ground Plastic Media Blasting Machine with a Automatic Above-Ground Full Recovery System, High Density Particle Separator system and a Compressed Air System, with Refrigerated Drier. NOTE: Options to be included: Silencers, High Efficiency Particulate Arresting filter packages, specialty filter cartridges, Dust Discharge Hoppers and Dust Conveying Hoppers. II. Above-Ground Plastic Media Blasting (PMB) Machine PMB machine that will include as a minimum the listed standard components: Above-Ground Full Floor Media Recovery Hopper, Media Storage Hopper, Pneumatic Recovery System, Reclaim Dust Collection System, Pressure Vessel Assembly for two Operators and Smart Handle. The assembly of these Bead Blast Booth components will be done in accordance with manufactures guidelines. III. Automatic Above-Ground Full Floor Recovery System a. Install on the existing cement foundation an automatic full floor recovery system as requested in this proposal. The booth floor hopper area will be covered with a scalping cover and grating which can support a nominal sized tow tractor, mobile A/C unit or forklift (estimated 23,000 lb min.). b. Operator respiration systems need to accommodate two operators. The system will include two hard helmets with positive pressure air supply valves and capes, air filtration system with CO monitor, three (3) 50 ft. lengths of air supply hose and breathing air conditioners. NOTE: A concrete ramp will be required at the opening for above-ground system. (The length of the ramp will have to decrease the incline enough to allow for equipment to be manually pushed in and out of the booth). Contractor must perform a site visit with the primary user in order to collect the relevant data for the appropriate ramp grade calculation. IV. High Volume Density Particle Separator (HDPS) System. This system is to be used for paint stripping of aircraft surfaces or components and must meet aircraft manufacturer and military specifications in regard to high density particle contamination (MIL-P-85891 of T.O. 1-1-8). A high density particle can be roughly defined as any particle with a specific gravity in excess of 1.65. NOTE: System must be isolated from outside weather and wind to function properly. V. Compressed Air System, with Refrigerated Drier Install a screw drive breathable (High Efficiency Particulate Air Filter (HEPA) filter system) air compressor unit capable of supporting, breathable air system, all blasting equipment and clean up operations. The compressor will include an acoustic enclosure to reduce noise levels and dual filters consisting of a high flow moisture separator as well as a coalescent filter. Contractor must perform a site visit with the primary user in order to collect the relevant data for the calculation of the appropriate compressor size. VI. Bead Blast Booth Enclosure: Construct an enclosure large enough to enclose/insert the Bead Blast Booth system and provide enough room to accommodate daily maintenance around the equipment as specified by manufacturer. Enclosure will have one entry way door big enough to accommodate the bead blast booth installation, equipment to be serviced and a man door with window for walk-in personnel. Holes will be drilled into the enclosure to accommodate the installation of the Bead Blast Booth and all necessary connections to support equipment, utilities (i.e. outside hopper, dust collection systems, fibertory shaker, control panel, etc.) and each penetration/component needs to be weather proof. Note: Contractor will construct the Bead Blast Booth enclosure in accordance with manufacture specifications. VII. SITE LOCATION: The location of the enclosure and Bead Blast Booth will be constructed on the existing cement located at the northwest corner of the Wash Rack's area north of building 7425 (see attached map). Install a sealant and/or a concrete curb barrieraround the exterior bottom of the enclosure/booth to help prevent any kind of water seepage into the inside of the enclosure/booth. The cement area at the site location is approximately 11" to 14" thick. Contract will need to acquire desired blue print specifications of cement area from Davis-Monthan Civil Engineering department for this project. VIII. INSTALLATION, START-UP, TRAINING a. Contractor is responsible for bringing the utilities needed for the Bead Blast Booth installation. Currently no 460 volt power exists at the proposed location for the bead blast booth on the northwest edge of the wash rack. There is an overhead high voltage line that is within 200 ft of the northwest edge of the wash rack that can be tapped into and a step-down transformer placed to feed the bead blast booth. However, contractor will need to verify power requirements for Davis-Monthan and get approval from the Civil Engineering Department for the appropriate site location for power supply. b. Install all necessary grounding and fire protection needed for proper equipment operation and facility protection (IAW requirement NEC, NFPA and manufactures guidelines). c. Pricing to include installation, start-up, training personnel and four electronic copies of the installation/operators manuals d. Install/calibrate required equipment to allow operation to be with- in OSHA, NEC and NFPA (i.e. fire protection sprinkler system, explosion proof lighting, and CO2 monitor system).
