Performance Work Statement Repair of New 50-Ton/10-Ton Hoists and Trolley Assembly

Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (GSL) Structural Mechanics Branch (SMB)

1. INTRODUCTION

This Performance Works Statement (PWS) is to repair the 50-Ton Double Girder Overhead Crane located at the Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (GSL), Structural Mechanics Branch (SMB), Bldg. 5008, 3909 Halls Ferry Road, Vicksburg, MS. 39180.

2. BACKGROUND

The government-owned 50-Ton Double Girder Overhead Crane is currently non-operational. The crane can no longer be serviced due to damage and in-operable parts on the existing trolley and hoists. The required replacement parts are no longer being manufactured. Therefore, GSL needs to replace the obsolete and defective trolley and hoists with a newly manufactured assembly in order to return the entire crane to working condition.

3. SCOPE

The contractor shall provide all materials, equipment, and labor necessary to bring the 50-ton overhead crane back into fully operational status, dispose of any inoperable components and provide optional annual maintenance up to four years.

The Contractor shall be a licensed wholesale and/or manufacturer-authorized distributor of the crane products being installed.

4. REQUIREMENT

4.1 (FFP) The contractor shall replace the top running trolley that sits on the double girder bridge and traverses the length of the girders and contains the two hoists. The 50-ton main hoist and 10-ton auxiliary hoist shall work in tandem or independently and be operational while the bridge is in motion. The trolley, hoists, and components are to be designed to operate in an indoor environment and match the existing equipment dimensions. The crane’s maximum wheel loads (without impact) due to dead load and the rated capacity live loads, with the trolley in any position, shall not be increased by any new component.

The Contractor is required to verify all clearances around the work area. In certain work areas, there are industrial machines and/or fixtures that cannot be moved. The Contractor needs to protect these machines, fixtures, and surrounding equipment from being damaged.
