1. SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED:

The Contractor shall provide one (1) minimum 225-ton crane and a National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) certified operator to perform various lifts for the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC). The lifts will assist in experimental wall assembly and erection for testing at the ERDC Testing Facility (ETF) (Range 15a), Millcreek Road, Fort Polk, LA.

The contractor shall deliver the crane in a timely manner in accordance with the scheduled date. The crane is a requirement for this project due to the dimensions and weights of the components to be lifted.

The contractor shall also provide an operator and rigging services, as required, for crane preparation and operation in the field.

2. SCOPE/SCHEDULE:

Provide one (1) crane (225-ton minimum) for five (5) consecutive working days (8 hrs/day). POP during the period 18 JAN 2026 through 22 JAN 2026.

Standard Rigging will be required.

a. Max Weight Lifted: 68,500 lbs. under the hook, excluding rigging. The wall assembly, which is the heaviest item, will require 2 lift locations. These 2 lift locations are separated by a travel distance of 1,225 feet. The first lift location is to place the wall assembly on a government supplied semi-trailer. This will be transported down range for final placement. At the second lift location the wall assembly will be lifted from the truck, placed on the ground and then tilted to be placed on a slab in an excavation.

b. Max Lifting Radius: 45’ (Center-pin of crane to center to expected furthest lift/set location)

a. True radius is determined by crane supplied.

c. The contractor will provide a lift plan and all rigging below the hook.

a. The proposed lift plan at a minimum will include all rigging proposed for each lift, 2 transit lifts, and 1 tilt to install lift, of the wall assembly. Note: the tilt to brace and re-set should not be proposed in the lifting plan.

b. The government will provide lifting lugs on the wall assembly as shown in the attachment. If the contractor would prefer lugs placed in alternative locations, this should be noted in the proposed lift plan.

c. The government will provide 4 Crosby high strength alloy 12.5-ton shackles with 1.125” diameter pins for the top lifting lugs if needed.

d. The contractor will provide crane mats.

a. The government will provide onsite forklift to facilitate setting mats.
