TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

1.0 Introduction

The U.S. Geological Survey, Reston Library has a requirement to convert Library owned, steel cantilever shelving into a high-density, mobile shelving system. This procurement is for the fabrication and installation of electronic power assist, mobile shelving system components and installation services to convert static steel cantilever shelving units into a mobile shelving system with moveable aisles.

1.1 Background

As part of nation-wide space efficiencies and consolidation effort by the USGS Libraries Program, the library is transferring all print materials to the Reston Library. Space is limited and will require high density mobile shelving to accommodate the materials within the current space footprint.

Design plans for the new library facility call for conversion of library owned, steel shelving into an electronic powered mobile shelving system to maximize space utilization. The mobile shelving system will house active collections and be available for use by both staff and the public; therefore, the library requires a reliable system designed and constructed for frequent use, ease of movement, and patron safety. As a permanent installation to the library building, the mobile shelving system must be durable, operate in a smooth and even manner to minimize wear on components, and maintain integrity of alignment over the course of many years.

1.2 Scope

Work to be performed includes fabrication and installation of decking, rails, carriages, face-panels, and installation of

Government furnished steel cantilever shelving onto mobile carriages to form a complete mobile shelving system that optimizes library shelving capacity within the defined area designated on the approved architectural furniture plan.

Disassembly of existing Government-furnished shelving and installation through mounting on carriages on-site is required under this contract.

Unloading and reloading of library materials is required under this contract. Need for temporary storage on or off-site is possible and vendor must supply adequate amount of library carts to store and transport library materials. Exact numbers to fill need will be determined during walk-through and final plans for project.

Document Title

Contractor shall supply all supervision, labor, materials, tools, equipment, supplies, and expertise to perform the installation of electronic power assist, high-density mobile shelving. The work shall be coordinated with USGS, General

Services Administration (GSA), and appropriately sequenced with the library construction project.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

General: The system consists of manufactured, or Government furnished storage units mounted on manufacturer’s track-guided carriages to form a compact storage system. System design permits access to any single aisle by moving units until the desired aisle is opened. The manufacturer’s proprietary unit interlock system prevents units from being moved while the open aisle is occupied. The carriage/rail system provides uniform carriage movement along the total length of travel, even with unbalanced loads.

Carriage System Design and Features: The carriage system consists of a formed structural steel frame with hardened steel or ductile iron wheels riding on steel rails recessed or even with surface mounted to the floor. Rails shall be types selected by the manufacturer to ensure smooth operation and self-centering of mobile storage units during travel without end play or binding. Rail types, quantities and spacing shall be selected by the manufacturer to suit installation conditions and requirements. All bearings used in the drive mechanism shall be permanently shielded and lubricated.

Movement Controls: Provide a carriage control panel on the accessible (open) end of each moveable carriage, located

44 inches (1118 MM) above the base, centered on the face panel. Minimum controls shall include directional control buttons/icons, STOP/RESET push-button/icon and a red reset light/icon.

System controls shall start motors on each movable carriage “sequentially” to minimize power demands or “block” to start all at once and shall provide dynamic braking to provide smooth operation. No additional hardware shall be required to change between “sequential” and “block” movement. Maximum running speed shall be limited to 3.3 inches (84 mm) per second.

Provide solid state controls and indicator lights/icons for a visual indication of safety system operation. Provide each aisle with a programmable distance sensor to ensure proper timing for start/stop operation.

Pushing the directional control button/icon on any moveable carriage adjacent to the desired aisle location in the direction away from the desired aisle location opens the system at the desired aisle. The selected aisle shall open automatically regardless of the position of the carriages.

Manual Reset: The carriage control head will display a flashing red reset light/icon at the newly opened aisle indicating that the aisle is locked open and requires resetting before another aisle can be opened. Provide for automatic lockout and manual reset of controls if selected aisle is not moved within a preset time period.

(Optional) Automatic Reset: The carriage control heads will display a constant green light, or green arrow icon, at all carriages indicating that the system is ready for the next aisle access. Provide for automatic reset if system is equipped with optional sensor system safety feature, or other redundant safeties.

Controls shall feature safety activated message and direction indicator designating which aisle safety was activated or back lit message indicating which aisle is in use (i.e., “Right Aisle in use” or “Left Aisle in use”).

Provide Bluetooth control to replace or in addition to the standard powered control or touch technology system controls.

Infrared Capable Controls and Infrared Remote Control Keys: Provide infrared capable control panel at end of each motorized carriage and two additional handheld infrared remote control user key(s). In lieu of standard control moveable on carriage.

Drive System: The system shall be designed with a positive type of motorized drive which minimizes end play and that carriages will stop without drifting. All system components shall be selected to ensure a smooth, even movement along the entire carriage length.
