PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

REMOVE, REPAIR, FABRICATE, & RE-INSTALL METAL JET-FUEL AIRCRAFT

TRAINING PIT MOCK-UP

ELLSWORTH AFB, SD

11 MAY 2022

SCOPE OF WORK: Provide labor, materials, and equipment to perform removal, repair, custom fabrication, installation, and disposal of metal aircraft mock-up sections used for aircraft firefighter training located in center of fire department jet-fuel training pit, Ellsworth AFB, SD, Bldg. 6907. Contractor will remove old, fabricate new, and install one complete large and one small wing. Contractor will repair repairable parts and fabricate new unrepairable pieces of tail wing and nose cone sections of aircraft mock-up. The repairs and materials used for fabrication need to withstand high heat from jet fuel training and hot/cold metal contraction, metal materials used must be similar in type, size, and thickness used on existing aircraft mock-up. Contractor shall ensure all the welds are cleaned by sandblasting or wire brushing and all cracked welds be ground off and re-welded to restore the structural integrity. Re-establishing the welds may require straightening plates and/or adding shim plates. To reduce the weight on the wings, the Contractor shall add support member(s) under the mock engines. Attachment A provides original dimensions and specifications for the mock aircraft.

Contractor understands that the fire training pit is currently being rehabilitated and is under re-construction by another contractor. The entire mock aircraft currently resides outside the fire training pit on the concrete apron that circumvents the pit as shown in Attachment B. If desired, Contractor can complete fabrication and welding on-site and shall protect the existing concrete from fabrication and welding activities to ensure no damage occurs to the existing concrete. Contractor shall conduct their work so it does not interfere with the ongoing construction activities. Once fabrication and repairs are complete, the work performed will be inspected and accepted prior to moving the firetrainer into place within the training pit. The mock aircraft will be set back in place as part of a separate ongoing construction contract.
