1.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION

MSHA’s mission within the Department of Labor (DOL) is to protect the safety and health of the nation’s miners under the mandates of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act) as amended by the Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006 (MINER Act) to enforce compliance with mandatory safety and health standards as a means to eliminate fatal accidents; to reduce the frequency and severity of nonfatal accidents; to minimize health hazards, and to promote improved safety and health conditions in the nation's 14,000 mines.

As a regulatory organization, MSHA’s jurisdiction includes the nation’s mining industry which consists of coal, metal, and nonmetal mines, including both underground and surface operations. Currently there are over 2,000 coal mines and 12,000 metal/ nonmetal mines located in the U.S. More than 300,000 people work directly in the mining sector in the United States and, according to the National Mining Association; almost five million jobs are created as a result of employment in the industries that support mining.

Just as mining is essential to the American economy, a safe and healthy mining workforce is essential to the mining industry as a whole. The mining environment is inherently hazardous. Unseen geologic instabilities, constantly changing terrain, the prevalence of large and complex haulage and mining equipment, and rapid industry growth are only a few of the factors that make maintaining mine safety a continuing challenge.

To meet this challenge and accomplish its mission, MSHA regulates and enforces safety and health rules applying to all U.S. mines; fosters compliance, and makes available technical, educational and other types of assistance. More specifically, MSHA inspects mines; investigates mine accidents and fatalities, investigates discrimination claims, hazardous conditions complaints, and other potential violations. MSHA issues citations and collects financial penalties based on those investigations and citations; develops improved safety and health policies; evaluates and approves mine plans as well as some equipment and materials used in mines; provides mine emergency response capabilities; trains and certifies mine safety and health professionals; and develops and delivers education and training programs and materials.

1.1 OBJECTIVES

Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis has established the Safe and Healthy Workplaces outcome goal for DOL whereby MSHA utilizes a three-part strategy to ensure that the nation’s mines are safe and healthy: training, compliance, and enforcement. A key strategy for accomplishing timely and effective mine emergency response is to ensure that MSHA first responders are adequately equipped.

Since the 1970s, major mine emergencies have become relatively rare events in the United States and there has been a corresponding decrease in the number of people who have hands-on response experience. This gap in expertise and having a central hub for information gathering could have serious consequences during future responses. Managers, engineers and technicians who are responsible for day-to-day operations may suddenly be called on to act as command center liaisons with little or no previous experience in that role. The lack of adequate organized information at the event site could endanger the workers who were present when the emergency occurred and also those called upon to respond. It is necessary during these events to have the ability to gather and decipher information quickly and effectively.

The overall objective of this effort is to build an Underground Mine Rescue Communications Vehicle (UMRCV) that will aid mine rescue teams in quickly and safely advancing to the working section of the mine or wherever the missing trapped miners were last or are thought to be. The UMRCV will be able to pull a trailer that carries all the commutation equipment to keep the mine rescue teams in contact with the command center.

The UMRCV could be deployed anywhere in the continental United States where an Event might occur. The UMRCV ultimately will be operated by MSHA Mine Emergency Unit. The vehicle must be approved through MSHA and meet all state requirement, including PA for outby use in an underground coal mine. It will be rugged, be diesel powered, and be able to stand up the underground mining environment and be small enough to fit into some of the lower mines.

SCOPE

The UMRCV must meet all MSHA and State approval requirements and be constructed to be able to operate underground in a hostile coal mine environment. The vehicle must be of significant strength and construction to withstand the rigors of underground mine entries and will be used to transport persons and provide power for equipment. The vehicle must also have the capability of pulling a communications trailer that will haul specialized equipment, cables, communication equipment and computers.

Upon completion and after receiving final MSHA MEO Personnel approval, the vehicle shall be delivered by a United States Citizen to the following location:

MEO Building MSHA National Mine Academy 1301 Airport Road Beaver, WV 25813

Monitoring of performance will be carried out by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and MSHA MEO Personnel in coordination as appropriate with the contractor’s point of contact.

1.3 PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

The period of performance shall be for ten (10) months from which to contract is awarded. Delivery of the UMRCV is expected prior to the end of this one year period.

1.3.1 QUALITY CONTROL

The Quality Control Plan is to be delivered with the contractors’ proposal. After acceptance of the quality control plan the contractor shall receive the contracting officer’s acceptance in writing of any proposed change to his QC system.

1.3.2 Delivery and Acceptance

The finished product trailer will be ready to deploy based upon the specifications and delivered to: MEO Building, MSHA National Mine Academy, 1301 Airport Road, Beaver, WV 25813.

Delivery to be FOB:DEST. All shipping/transportation costs to be covered by the Contractor.

The Government reserves the right to inspect work at any time during the project. An authorized MSHA representative will perform inspection and acceptance of the unit when delivered.

MSHA Mine Emergency Operation (MEO) Personnel will be notified for each of the following milestones:

Upon notification of the above milestones and at anytime during construction, MSHA MEO Personnel reserve to right to conduct a site evaluation of the vehicle before construction can continue. MSHA MEO Personnel will evaluate the construction process according to the submitted design along with conducting an evaluation on the workmanship being performed. The contractor is responsible to correct any deficiencies that do not meet the agreed upon design criteria.
