Specification document - Cargo Deployment Function (CDF) Scale System

Overview:

The 100th Logistics Readiness Squadron (100 LRS) is responsible for managing the Cargo Deployment Function (CDF) which includes receiving, inspecting and preparing cargo for transportation to support various missions. The CDF requires a robust and accurate multi-deck scale system to calculate and verify the weight and balance of all equipment deploying/redeploying.

Scope of work:

The contractor shall supply and deliver a multi-scale system in accordance with the technical specifications outlined below. The contractor is responsible for ensuring all specifications are met. The contractor is responsible for delivery to Building 659 at RAF Mildenhall, England. The system is to be installed and calibrated upon delivery to this address.

Salient Characteristics (Mandatory Requirements):

Functionality:

• Above-ground multi-scale system capable of weighing cargo with multiple axles and

463L aircraft cargo pallets.

Scale Configuration:

• The system must consist of 4 scales

• Scales must be linkable end-to-end, functioning both as individual scales with independent weight readings and as a multi-scale system calculating total weight across all scales in use.

• The configuration must also include approach ramps on either side of each scale to facilitate safe and efficient roll-on/roll-off loading and unloading of equipment.

Scale Dimensions:

• Scales 1 & 2: Length 4 meters X Width 3 meters (intended for weighing 463L aircraft cargo pallets).

• Scales 3 & 4: Length 1.5 meters X Width 3 meters (intended for weighing axles, accommodating short distances between multiple axles).

Materials:

• Condition must be new and unused

• Durable material such as steel construction.

• Weather-proof and non-slip surface.

Performance:

• Weight Capacity: Minimum 30,000kg (66,138lbs) capacity per scale.

• Weight Increments: Measurement accuracy in 10kg (20lb) increments.

• Display: Weight readings for each individual scale and total combined weight displayed on LED screens and/or accessible via a device application.

• Power: Compatible with 240 volts AC – 12 volts DC power.

Installation:

• The scales are to be fully installed and set up with an initial calibration carried out.

• The contractor is to advise on the maintenance and calibration requirements for the proposed scale system.

Exclusions (Unnecessary Capabilities):

• Cargo dimension scanning.

• Dynamic (in-motion) weighing/measurement capabilities.

Specification/Base Standards:

• The contractor will ensure all vehicles and drivers involved in the delivery meet UK licensing requirements.

• POC for delivery and installation to be provided after the award.

• The contractor shall coordinate with the POC to obtain base identification passes for personnel carrying out the delivery/installation.

• All contractors will possess an official form of identification to obtain access at the point of delivery/installation.

• Work days are from Monday through Friday excluding US federal holidays and UK bank holidays. Work hours are from 0800 to 1600 local UK time.
