All vaults provided under this SIN shall be pre-assembled at the factory to ensure proper fit of components. The vault shall then be disassembled and the panels and components numbered for assembly at final destination. Assembly and disassembly instructions shall be provided with every vault.

All vault panels and components shall be covered during shipment. When specified in the purchase order, the vault shall be packed as follows: Each vault shall be packed in crates conforming to PPP-C-650 or in boxes conforming to PPP-B-621. When packed in crates, the contents shall be waterproof shielded with a shroud fabricated of material conforming to PPP-B-1055, as specified for interior shrouds, and in accordance with the appendix to the crate specification. When packed in boxes, the contents shall be shrouded as specified above and the box shall be modified with the addition of reinforcing members and skids as specified in the box specification. The contents of the crate or box shall be blocked, braced and cushioned to prevent movement during multiple shipments.

Regardless of whether the agency chooses to utilize the SINs for Design and Installation Services, the vault manufacturer shall ensure that the agency is aware of operational, functional and site constraints of the vault such as floor load requirements, weight distribution within the vault, floor leveling or shimming needs, and installation requirements. A data sheet provided to the user is not considered sufficient.

If the vault system has not been approved at the time for submission of offers, the offeror may submit proposed guidelines and procedures.

GSA accepts no responsibility for damage to buildings or equipment, injury to personnel, or loss of productivity resulting from use of this system. It is the responsibility of the agency and the vault supplier to ensure that the vault is safe and functional.
