Work to be Performed by the Contractor: This project is classified as a turn-key with the contractor being responsible for all-work associated with the installation. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for costs associated with skidding and shipment, rigging and installation at WVA. The contractor is responsible for the removal of wood block flooring for the footprint of the machine. If any anchoring is needed, it is the contractor’s responsibility. The contractor shall also provide competent English speaking service personnel to install the machine, rough and finish level the machine, startup, and conduct the acceptance tests specified. The contractor personnel shall remain until the machine activation and testing have been successfully completed. Watervliet Arsenal personnel will not provide assistance for installation, diagnosis, troubleshooting, or repair of the equipment during activation and testing. WVA is responsible for hooking up electricity to the machine. Note: It is preferred to not drill into the concrete floor. Typical floor thickness at Watervliet is 8”-10”.

Contractor personnel shall coordinate the shipment of the machine to Watervliet. Contractor personnel shall arrange for rigging services to off load the machine and contractor personnel shall be on-site at Watervliet when the machine arrives and is off loaded. The Contractor shall ensure any outside rigging services only use certified chain hoists, with all rigging slings tagged and certified for the weights being lifted. Contractor personnel shall supervise the placement of the machine on the installation site by the rigging service. Arsenal forklifts and Arsenal personnel are typically not available to assist with installation. All forklifts used shall be propane powered forklifts and equipped with a roll cage and backup signal. Operators of forklifts shall have and be able to produce valid forklift licenses. Arsenal overhead pendant cranes (within load capacities) may be used by the contractor/rigging service for the installation to be operated by Arsenal personnel. Crane capacity within each building is limited (2 tons). The Contractor shall provide alternate lifting means if installation tasks exceed capacity. Contractor personnel shall also adhere to the WVA requirements to wear OSHA approved safety glasses and safety shoes while in the manufacturing shop areas. The contractor shall provide all equipment and materials necessary for the installation of the machine. The contractor shall remove from WVA and dispose of all wastes (other than hazardous wastes) generated from uncrating and unpacking the machine at a permitted off-post disposal facility, in accordance with Attachment D of this specification and the document "WATERVLIET ARSENAL (WVA) INFORMATION FOR CONTRACTORS" which is available on the Watervliet Arsenal website. https://www.wva.army.mil/Documents/Contracting/WAIC.pdf

IMPORTANT: Under normal circumstances the contractor will be allowed to work as long as is desired during normal work days. Contractor work outside Watervliet’s normal work days cannot be guaranteed. Watervliet is on a condensed work schedule. Normal work hours/days for this schedule are four 9-hour workdays (Friday off) one week and four 9-hour days, one 8-hour day (Friday) the following week. Contractor work on the Friday off and weekends cannot be guaranteed. Foreign National contractor personnel require escort, which may restrict installation site availability based on Watervliet’s ability to provide the escort.

Certification: The contractor shall provide written certification that the machine tool including all specified systems, accessories, and geometric accuracies are provided with offer.

Test of Conformance to Specified Workpiece: The contractor shall perform a penetrant inspection of a Watervliet Arsenal mortar component. The machine shall be observed for proper function and compliance with the requirements of this specification. Specifically, as the mortar component moves through the stations the machine shall either perform an action or give a functional area to allow the operator to perform an action. These are thoroughly soaking the mortar component in penetrant, washing it with water, heating it to the desired temperature, applying the developer, and inspecting the mortar component for dye remaining in cracks. The machine shall have an ample resting area between all of these stations. The details and requirements of these stations can be found in the specification above. The Watervliet Arsenal may elect to perform this test on more than one workpiece.

Penetrant Solution: The penetrant solution shall be provided by the contractor for the preliminary and final acceptance testing.

Preliminary Acceptance Inspection: Preliminary acceptance inspection shall occur at the contractor's facility prior to machine shipment to WVA and shall consist of performing a full inspection of a mortar component provided by WVA as specified above.

Re-Inspection Provisions: If, during the course of preliminary acceptance inspection, deficiencies are disclosed which cannot be satisfactorily corrected during this visit, preliminary acceptance will be withheld and the contractor will be required to take corrective actions. In such cases, the Arsenal's Technical POC reserves the right to dispatch Arsenal representatives to observe a re-inspection and to charge the contractor's account for the travel and per diem costs of such re-inspections.

NOTE: If in the course of preliminary acceptance inspection, deficiencies are not disclosed, it is still the responsibility of the contractor to take corrective action when and if deficiencies are discovered at Watervliet Arsenal.

Post Preliminary Inspection Procedures: The Arsenal's representatives will not grant authority to ship the machine following preliminary acceptance inspection, even in cases where there have been no apparent instances of nonconformance. Authority to ship will be granted only by the Arsenal's Contracting Officer. In cases where it is determined that the machine and its equipment conform to specification, the Arsenal's Contracting Officer will grant shipping authority within (10) working days of completion of the preliminary acceptance inspection. In cases where deficiencies requiring correction are disclosed, the Arsenal's Contracting Officer will furnish a formal listing of required corrective actions within 15 working days of completion of the preliminary acceptance inspection.

Final Acceptance Inspection: Final inspection and acceptance of the machine shall be after installation at the Arsenal. At this time the machine shall again be subjected to, and required to pass, the test procedures performed at the preliminary inspection. The person or persons attending the final acceptance inspection shall be the same as the preliminary acceptance inspection.

Warranty: Upon final acceptance of the machine a Standard Commercial Warranty shall commence for duration of three years, to include as a minimum, parts and labor for the duration of the warranty, at no cost to the Government. The three year period shall commence from the date of notification by the Contracting Officer of the final acceptance.
