Line Items: CLIN 0001 Vertical lift storage retrieval system as described by specifications attached, including all shipping, installation, and training costs. Quantity of five (5). Location: Hill AFB, UT, Building 843. Description of requirements: It is the responsibility of the contractor to supply all necessary transportation, labor, tools and equipment for storage and installation. The Air Force will not supply off loading docs, forklifts, trucks, or covered storage. All expenses for transportation, installation, and training will be the responsibility of the contractor. It is required that the contractor plan accordingly to ensure employee access to Hill AFB prior to delivery and installation dates. This may include background checks and security passes. Site Specifications The approximate floor space available to fit two machines (VLMs) into is approximately 43' wide by 27' deep by 35' high. Some ceiling obstructions are lower than 35'. The maximum height will be determined in part by the arrangement of the machines and the dimensions of the machines. It is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure that their proposed machine will fit the actual dimension of the building. These measurements are approximate. Machine Specifications The following are specifications that we believe are necessary to accomplish the proposed mission to safely store the parts: Pan Size approx 12' by 3'3" Pan capacity 1000 lbs Pan coating in Polyamor or equal to protect against metal to metal contact and corrosive liquids. Coating eliminates requirement to use foam padding, thus saving an inch of storage space on each pan. Pan lip of 5 inches Adjustability: The ideal solution would allow for simple or automatic re-configuration of all pans down to 6" intervals. Approximately 43 pans per machine anticipated. Please include pricing options or separate pricing for additional pans. 480 Volt Delta AC connection terminated in a disconnect box next to machine will be provided by Hill. Internal sprinklers (Hill will connect to Hill's sprinkler system), overhead dust cover, full width lighting, lockable door, powder coat exterior finish Seismic Rating of 4 or greater RS232 Port: The controller shall be a command driven interface with asynchronous responses communicating through an ASCII RS232C 9 pin connection. Pan positioning will be directed from Air Force automation control host system MPS/D230 using ASCII commands. The controller shall respond when commands are completed and not require continuous polling to determine completion status. Configuration: Machine should be able to be configured at 8" spaces, or load barriers every 8" minimum. The purpose is to provide maximum flexibility for different operations and future workload changes. Delivery and Acceptance: Acceptance will not take place until after installation to include a thorough test run and training of Hill AFB employees by the contractor. Installation, training and acceptance must be accomplished prior to (NTE) 180 days after receipt of contract award. After award, it will be the responsibility of the contractor to contact Mr. Robin Barraclough at Hill AFB to arrange the specific delivery, installation, and training date or date(s). Mr. Barraclough can be reached at (801) 777-1027. Instructions to Offerors: The provision at 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors -- Commercial, applies to this acquisition.
