This is a Statement of Work (SOW) for the procurement and installation of electric material handling equipment at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam.

The contractor must supply two electric forklift reach trucks rated for 3,000 to 3,999 pounds capacity with a 24-inch load center, capable of lifting to 16 feet, equipped with power steering, pantograph reach mechanism (minimum 22.5 inches extension), hydraulic tilt and sideshift mechanisms, and non-marking solid polyurethane or rubber tires. Each truck requires a 24-volt lead-acid battery with capacity for eight hours of continuous operation. The system includes one battery charging station powered by 208-volt, 3-phase, 60 Hz electrical supply with automatic overcharge prevention and trickle charge capability. The forklift specifications mandate an overhead guard meeting ANSI B56.1A standards, deadman brake, hour meter capable of 9999+ hours, battery discharge indicator that inhibits lift at 80 percent discharge, and various safety features including push button horn and key switch. The contractor must furnish and install all necessary conduit, wiring, and mechanical fasteners to connect the charging station to the existing electrical panel, remove and dispose of one existing charging station in compliance with environmental regulations, and execute comprehensive system testing and commissioning. Delivery to Andersen AFB, Yigo, Guam 96929 is required 180 days after award. The contractor must provide a Standard Commercial Warranty and utilize an authorized, certified on-island warranty and maintenance/repair service provider located on Guam. Additional requirements include contractor liability for damages from carelessness or failure to follow proper procedures, provision of on-site point of contact responding within one hour during duty hours, compliance with base traffic regulations and security protocols including pass and identification requirements, and reimbursement to the government for any emergency medical services provided.

iii. One Battery Charging Station, including conduit, wiring, mechanical fasteners and all other items required to install an operational system.

b) Electric Forklift Reach Trucks Specifications:

i. The rider-reach equipment system shall be provided to interface with warehouse storage racks.

ii. CAPACITY: The truck, with a 24-inch load center, shall have a capacity between

3,000 to 3,999 pounds to a lift height of 16 feet.

iii. RATE OF TRAVEL: The truck shall operate at continuously variable speeds in both the forward and reverse directions. It shall have a nominal travel speed of 5 to 6 miles-per-hour (mph).

iv. PLUGGING: The truck shall be capable of "plugging", whereby the operator can slow or stop the truck by reverse movement of the speed control.

v. LIFTING/LOWERING: There shall be no pulsating or jerky movement of the fork carriage when being raised or lowered at any speed. The hydraulic control system shall be damped, metered, or automatically regulated to reduce shock and prevent instability of the truck when the maximum capacity load is raised or lowered at maximum speed and then stopped suddenly.

vi. STEERING: Power steering shall be provided. Steering shall be accomplished by a hand operated steering crank or a round steering wheel equipped with a steering knob for convenient operation.

vii. REACH MECHANISM: A pantograph type, hydraulic controlled reach mechanism shall be provided to extend the forks a minimum of 22.5 inches from the fully retracted position with a load of 3,000 to 3,999 pounds. In the fully extended position, the bend in the forks shall extend beyond the truck outriggers.

The reach mechanism shall be capable of operating at all lifting heights with up to the rated capacity load.

viii. FORK CARRIAGE: The fork carriage shall be equipped with a hydraulic controlled tilt mechanism, hydraulic controlled sideshift mechanism, and a load backrest. Tilt and sideshift mechanisms shall be designed to operate in all reach positions and at all lifting heights, with up to the rated capacity load.

DRAFT

ix. TILT MECHANISM: A hydraulic controlled tilt mechanism shall be provided.

The tilt mechanism shall be capable of a minimum 2 degree forward and 4 degree rearward tilt.

x. SIDESHIFT MECHANISM: A hydraulic controlled sideshift mechanism shall be provided. Sideshift mechanism shall be capable of positioning the fork carriage two inches to either the right or left of the center position. Total sideshift travel shall be 4 inches.

xi. LOAD BACKREST: The fork carriage shall be equipped with a load backrest.

Load backrest shall be fabricated of steel and shall be a minimum 36 inches high.

xii. FORK TINES: Forks shall be minimum 4 inches wide by 42 inches long, forged steel. Fork spacing shall be adjustable.

xiii. WHEELS: Wheels shall clear the truck structure by at least 1/4-inch under all conditions of operation. All tires shall be non-marking, solid polyurethane or non-marking, solid rubber molded onto a steel band pressed onto flat-faced wheels.

xiv. OPERATOR’S COMPARTMENT: The flooring shall have a nonskid, low-fatigue surface. The operator's compartment and controls shall be arranged so that no part of the operator's body shall extend beyond the outside plane of the truck during normal operation.

xv. OVERHEAD GUARD: The operator's compartment shall be protected by a steel overhead guard which meets the requirements of ANSI B56.1A.

xvi. DEADMAN BRAKE: The operator shall depress the deadman pedal before any truck activity can be initiated. The brake pedal, when depressed to fully release the brake, shall be in a horizontal position and flush with the floor of the operator's platform.

xvii. HOUR METER: An electrically operated hour meter shall be provided to register cumulatively the duration of truck activity. The hour meter shall be capable of displaying a minimum of 9999 hours.

xviii. BATTERY DISCHARGE INDICATOR: A battery discharge indicator shall be installed to sense an 80 percent discharge condition of the battery. The device shall inhibit lift capabilities when an 80 percent discharge condition exists.

xix. KEY SWITCH: A key switch shall be provided to energize and deenergize the truck electrical circuits.

xx. HORN: The truck shall be equipped with a push button electric horn.
