1. Background

The United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) Department of Aeronautics (DFAN) requires the removal of an obsolete Cascade Wind Tunnel (CWT), associated duct work, and HVAC unit located in the basement of the Aeronautics Laboratory (Building 2410). The objective of this acquisition is to provide the solution and services necessary to break down and transport the CWT and related equipment to local abandonment/scrapping and will result in a room cleared for other functional opportunities.

2. Scope of Work

The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, certifications, and other items and non-personal services necessary to completely dismantle, remove, and dispose of the obsolete Cascade Wind Tunnel (CWT), including its associated HVAC unit and in-room ductwork, located in the Aeronautics Laboratory. The Contractor shall ensure the safe termination of all associated utility connections and leave the workspace clear of all equipment and dismantling debris.

3. Performance Requirements

3.1. Fluid Evacuation. The Contractor shall ensure the draining of all system fluids, including any oils, coolants, or hydraulic fluids, prior to disassembly.

3.2. Dismantling and Removal. The Contractor shall disassemble and remove the CWT, mounting frames, HVAC unit, and ductwork from the premises without causing structural damage to the facility. This includes the removal of all associated hardware, fasteners, and support structures from the floors, walls, and ceiling.

3.3. Utility Safing. The Contractor shall safely trace, disconnect, Lock-Out/Tag-out (LOTO), terminate, cap, and secure all mechanical and electrical utility connections formerly supplying the CWT and HVAC systems.

The Contractor shall strictly abide by all applicable Air Force instructions and local, state, federal, and environmental laws, codes, and regulations—including environmental handling (e.g., refrigerant recovery, fluid disposal) and occupational safety standards—throughout the duration of the project.

4. Government-Furnished Information & Property

4.1. Site Data & Dimensions. The estimated dimensions of the main tunnel section are approximately 20 feet in length and 8 feet in height, with an estimated weight of 8,000- 12,000 lbs. These are estimates only; the contractor is responsible for verifying all measurements and weights.

4.2. Technical Documentation. The Government will provide the Contractor with any available technical drawings, specifications, and maintenance manuals for the CWT upon contract award.
