FABRICATION OF CHIMES FOR TOWER OF VOICES

I. GENERAL INFORMATION

This scope of work includes the fabrication and delivery of aluminum wind chimes and related components for installation in the Tower of Voices at the Flight 93 National Memorial. Related components include, but are not limited to: chime sail, chime striker, chime suspension system, and chime tether.

II. BACKGROUND

The Flight 93 National Memorial is a National Park Service unit located in Somerset County, Pennsylvania where United Flight 93 crashed on September 11, 2001. The 2,200-acre park is being developed through several phases. The Tower of Voices is the last major phase of work in the development of the Flight 93 National Memorial. The tower when constructed will be a monumental, 93-feet tall musical instrument holding 40 wind chimes, representing the 40 passengers and crewmembers on the plane. It is intended to be a landmark memorial feature near the entrance to the park and a living memorial in sound to remember the 40 through their ongoing voices.

Upon entering the park, visitors will first see the Tower of Voices that marks the gateway to the Memorial site and symbolically introduces the memorial theme. The Tower is proposed close to this location, to signal the entry to and exit from the Park. Rings of White Pine trees resonating from the tower, flowering Hawthorn and Redbud trees, and some reforestation will partially screen this area from the site entrance from State Route 30 and Approach Road. A driveway and small parking area have been built with some planting. A paved walkway and a trail from the parking area will wind its way through the pine trees to a raised clearing and plaza for the tower. Future trails will originate from the Tower to lead through the park.

III. REQUIREMENT

The requirement is to fabricate, deliver and provide onsite support to the contractor installing the chimes during and ensuring the chimes were installed correctly and operate as intended.

In relation to the fabrication, the contractor shall provide product data, shop drawings, samples, and mockups of the chimes and related components in accordance with the specifications in this scope of work.

2. Fabrication of Chimes (including coating)

3. Fabrication of Chime Components (including coating)

4. Factory mockup of chime assembly

5. Delivery of all materials to the Tower of Voices site

The purpose of the schedule is to ensure adequate planning, coordination and scheduling to meet the delivery date requirement. The schedule will be monitored during the performance of the contract to ensure the contract remains on schedule. If at any point the schedule is not as provided the contractor shall immediately notify the Government and provide a recovery plan.

The chimes are required to be delivered to the site No Later Than (NLT) May 30, 2018. This is a firm date, so that the chimes can be installed and confirmed operable as intended by the dedication date of September 10, 2018. If it is determined that the delivery needs to be sooner so that the installation can be completed and operations confirmed, it should be identified in the fabrication schedule that will be incorporated into the contract.

The contractor shall assume that support for the project will be required for tuning and adjusting before and after the September 10, 2018 dedication ceremony. This support may include onsite and/or remote support.

VI. MATERIAL DELIVERY

The contractor is responsible for the delivery of the material to a specified secure location at Flight 93. The Government will be present at time of delivery to inspect for acceptance. Unloading of the delivered materials at the site will be by others. All materials accepted will be paid for and the contractor will be relieved of any liability should the materials be lost or damaged after acceptance.

VII. ENSURANCE OF OPERABILITY

The contractor is responsible for ensuring the chimes operate as designed within the Tower of Voices.

Provide a plan that describes this process. This plan will be utilized to ensure the adequate quality control measures are in place to ensure the design frequency and optimal volume for each chime is achieved.

VIII. CONTRACT MANAGEMENT

The contractor is responsible for the fabrication and delivery of the chimes. Provide a management plan that describes the labor, materials and equipment that will be utilized for this requirement. Identify responsible parties and key suppliers. Describe how these will be procured, monitored, and coordinated.

This plan will be utilized to ensure the necessary management activities are in place for successful contract management.

2. Section 05 70 00 "Decorative Metal" for stainless steel fasteners.

1.2 DESCRIPTION OF WORK

A. Fabrication and Installation of forty wind-activated chime assemblies: Assembly components and configurations shall be generally as described in these procurement documents but may vary subject to approval by the contracting officer in final definition pursuant to physical testing and final fabrication design by the selected chime assembly fabricator. The Government’s

Contractor will install the assemblies onto the precast concrete tower structure and coordinate work with the chime assembly fabricator who will adjust and fine tune for final completion.

B. Final Design of the forty wind-activated chime assemblies: Final fabrication design and engineering of the wind-chime assemblies, providing design life complying with this specification, and validation of their acoustic properties that comply with this specification is the selected fabricator’s responsibility. Final designs shall be prepared under the supervision of, signed and sealed by a qualified Professional Engineer licensed in Pennsylvania.

C. Prototype and Production testing of chime assemblies: Prototype testing shall be conducted to confirm that a representative sample of the chimes as finally designed (3 tones minimum spread over the range of the musical tuning table) can be wind activated in a manner similar to that used during the concept design tests previously conducted. Production testing shall be conducted to confirm that each chime as fabricated and assembled achieves the desired tone and sound quality.
