Statement of Work (SOW)

TSC IIJA 8530 Universal Test Fixture

1. Introduction The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation or USBR) is a water management agency with 600 dams in the 17 western states. Reclamation is known for construction of dams, power plants, and canals, including Hoover Dam on the Colorado River, Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River, and Folsom Dam on the American River. Reclamation is the largest wholesaler of water in the country and second largest producer of hydroelectric power in the western US.

2. Background The Concrete and Structural Laboratory (CSL) utilize a Vibration Laboratory to perform unique structural and material testing, such as dynamic load testing, multidirectional load testing, and vibration or isolation load testing. Testing in this laboratory is commonly performed via a series of structural load frames and reaction blocks to provide restraint.

Due to the unique and often random nature of set-ups that are needed to perform various tests, it is often more efficient to utilize modular frames that can be configured in several orientations with as few pieces as reasonably feasible.

The current frames allow only a limited number of configurations and when different configurations are required, individual projects often face cost increases and schedule delays associated with procurement of specific equipment. The purpose of the Universal Test Frame is to provide a modular frame enabling faster and more efficient laboratory use on given projects, while simultaneously increasing testing capabilities when paired with existing equipment.

3. Scope Reclamation requires one (1) “Universal Test Fixture”. The fixture shall consist of multiple pieces that are intended to assemble together in a variety of configurations. The fixture and constituent pieces shall be fabricated based on these specifications and accompanying drawings.

Submit shop drawings for review and written approval prior to fabrication.
