DRAFT SOW_10A Sanding Booth.docx

STATEMENT OF WORK FOR A TURN-KEY REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF A SANDING BOOTH AT TOBYHANNA ARMY DEPOT

1.0 BACKGROUND:

The Building 10A Sanding Booth provides TYAD with the capability to repair dents, holes, cracks, etc. in composite materials by applying epoxies and glazing compounds, and by performing wet lay-ups using carbon fiber, fiberglass and Kevlar. The existing Sanding Booth handles composite material repairs for the depot workload, including radar antennas, radomes, High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) hoods, transport cases and other similar components. The epoxies and glazing compounds must be applied in a controlled environment and while wearing proper protective equipment. The existing booth is over 30 years old and is showing its age. The support structure has signs of rust, and bolts vibrate out. The 13’ 6” high filter doors do not seal tightly anymore and sometimes get hung up on the floor. The location of the booth in Building 10A is near an exterior roll-up door, which allows drafts of cold air to enter the booth through the filter doors, especially during cold-weather months. During hot weather, humidity is a concern. For optimum performance, it is important that temperature, humidity and airborne contaminants in the environment are controlled within acceptable limits. The optimum condition to cure epoxies is between 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit at less than 85% humidity. The current booth does not have temperature or humidity controls.

2.0 General Scope

2.1 This Statement of Work (SOW) is for the turn-key design engineering, supply, delivery, installation, assembly, set-up and training for a crossdraft sanding booth in an existing building at the Tobyhanna Army Depot (TYAD), Tobyhanna, PA 18466, to include removal of an existing sanding booth and transporting them to another location on the depot for disposal. The Contractor shall supply all materials, supplies, freight, delivery, tools, equipment, consumables, labor, and supervision for the turn-key design, supply, delivery, installation, assembly, set-up and training to remove an existing sanding booth and replace it with a new crossdraft sanding booth in Building 10A at TYAD in Tobyhanna, PA. The replacement booth needs to incorporate the latest technology improvements, such as humidity and temperature controls. The size of the booth shall be a minimum of 39 feet long by 16 feet wide and 14 feet high inside. This is 5 feet longer than the original booth to accommodate processing of more assets for increased efficiency and productivity but is limited by existing overhead structures. The entire system needs to include the booth with an air recirculation system, filtration system, two personnel doors and LED lighting, and both compressed and breathable air connection points, plus all necessary engineering and design; it must include the site preparation work, installation of the new equipment, and removal and disposal of the existing booth and auxiliary equipment. Additional accessories, such as fire protection system, fall protection and pull-down hose reels, are described below. (Note: The term “sanding booth” and “booth” used throughout this statement of work refers to all the component to make up a useable sanding booth, such as but not limited to the frame, walls and ceiling panels, doors, duct work, fans filters and hardware to erect/assemble and provide a useable sanding booth. For brevity, the sanding booth with filters, and fire suppression will be identified as SYSTEM within the remainder of this SOW. When referencing components of the SYSTEM, the components will be identified individually.)
