The temperature in the machine shop may change as much as 4 °F per hour.

3.2 Gantry CMM Installation, Startup and Testing.

3.2.1 Work to be Performed by the Arsenal. Upon receipt of the required installation drawings (see 3.1.11), Watervliet Arsenal will prepare the intended installation site prior to delivery of the machine. After placement of the machine by the contractor/riggers, Watervliet Arsenal will run utilities to first points of connection. However, if the installation instructions supplied by the contractor are incomplete or insufficiently detailed, installation work will stop and the contractor will be required to dispatch a service engineer. Installation will resume upon his arrival and continue under his guidance.

3.2.1.1 Work to be Performed by the Contractor. This project is classified as a turn-key with the contractor being responsible for all costs and work associated with the installation unless otherwise stated. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for all costs associated with skidding and shipment, rigging, and installation at WVA. Once an installation site is identified by Watervliet personnel and if required, a foundation is constructed, the contractor or their designated third party shall install the machine (Gantry CMM). 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 to supervise the placement of the machine on the installation site by the rigging service. Outside rigging services should be advised that only certified grade 8 chains are permitted to be used at the Arsenal and that all rigging slings must be tagged and certified for the weights being lifted. In most cases no Arsenal forklift services and/or Arsenal personnel will be available for the installation. Only propane powered forklifts are permitted and must also be equipped with a roll cage. Operators of forklifts shall have and be able to produce valid forklift licenses. Arsenal overhead pendant cranes (within load capacities) can be used by the contractor/rigging service for the installation. The contractor shall provide written certification to the WVA representative that all contractor/rigger personnel are qualified, through either formal training or experience per OSHA, to operate pendant controlled overhead cranes. Contractor personnel shall also adhere to the WVA requirements to wear OSHA approved non-tinted safety glasses with side shields and safety shoes while in the manufacturing shop areas. The contractor shall ensure they bring all equipment/material necessary for the installation of the machine(s). Watervliet does not have the resources to provide such material. Crane capacity within each building is limited (2, 5, 10 or 15 tons) and therefore if not adequate then the contractor will need to provide alternate means necessary for the installation. Specific building crane capacities where the equipment is to be installed should be verified with the WVA technical POC.

Once the machine is positioned and rough leveled by the contractor, WVA personnel will run utilities to the machine. Watervliet must be provided with sufficient time to accomplish these connections. The contractor, through his own service personnel shall be fully responsible for the startup and testing of the machine (Gantry CMM), conduct any acceptance tests specified in sections 3 & 4 and perform the required on-site training. The contractor and the service personnel shall remain until the machine activation and testing have been successfully completed. Under no circumstances should the contractor plan on gratuitous Arsenal assistance for diagnosis, troubleshooting or repair of the equipment during activation and testing. Should such activity prove necessary, it shall be the contractor's responsibility to provide the appropriate labor and materials. If the contractor chooses to request Arsenal assistance in lieu of providing his own resources, the request will be reviewed by the Technical POC who shall reserve the right to impose a charge for the assistance. Approvals, even on a charge basis, should not be taken for granted since there is no guarantee that appropriate Arsenal personnel will be readily available. In such cases, the Arsenal will not be held responsible for delays in acceptance of the equipment resulting from nonavailability of Arsenal personnel or Arsenalfurnished equipment.

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. Contractor’s classified as foreign nationals may further restrict work hours and days available.

If the contractor requests Watervliet Arsenal to ship misc. material via UPS, FedEx or by other similar carrier then the contractor shall provide their carrier account number for this purpose.

Note: If any special lifting devices are recommended by the contractor to facilitate handling, such devices shall be shipped with the machine. They will be returned to the contractor upon completion of use at the Arsenal, at no expense to the contractor.

Instructions to Offerors:

4 The purpose of these instructions is to provide prospective contractors with additional guidance relative to the structure of their technical proposals.

6.1 Contents of Proposals. All proposals must as a minimum include:

A. A complete statement of compliance (see 6.2) B. MSDS sheets Note: Failure of any proposal to meet the above minimum requirements may render that proposal technically unacceptable. In addition, brochures, illustrations, narratives, drawings and sketches pertinent to the equipment being offered are permissible and are encouraged. Offerors are cautioned, however, to screen such materials carefully before submission to insure that they will not introduce any of the deficiencies described in the request for technical proposals. Generalized information not pertinent to the equipment being offered is not encouraged and will not be evaluated.

6.2 Offeror's Statement of Compliance. Enclosed with the specification is a prepared form entitled "Offeror's Statement of Compliance". The left hand margin of this form lists, in order, the number of all the paragraphs in the specification containing requirements which must be addressed by offerors. To the immediate right of each paragraph number are two blocks headed "comply" and "noncomply". The entry of "x" or a check mark is required in one of these two blocks for each numbered paragraph of the form. However, offerors are advised that the checking of the "noncomply" blocks for any paragraph will result in nonacceptance of the offer unless explanation is provided and deemed acceptable by the Arsenal. For this reason, space is also provided on the form for offerors to explain any entry of "noncomply". This explanation should point out the degree of, and reason for, noncompliance, and it should explain what is being offered as an equal or better alternative to the specified requirements. Furthermore, checking of “comply” without providing the pertinent supporting information is not acceptable. A thorough explanation of how compliance will be achieved is required. Space provided for comply/non-comply explanations on the form is limited. If additional space is required, a separate sheet may be used to continue the explanation. If such a continuation sheet is used, it should refer to the paragraph number being explained. Offerors are further advised that although specified requirements are mandatory, they normally stem from performance needs at the Arsenal. Thus, when an offeror must take exception to a specified requirement he/she is well advised to provide as much information as possible about what he/she is offering so that the Arsenal can judge the impact, if any, upon the equipment’s performance, as well as the builders adherence to proper design practices. On the lower right hand corner of each page of the form is a signature block. Each page of the form should be signed by the offeror or his/her authorized representative.

6.3 Procurements of More Than One Machine. In this specification requirements and terminology are oriented toward the purchase of a single machine tool. However, in many cases, two or more identical machine tools will be procured in accord with this specification. In such cases, the term "the machine" means "each machine".

6.4 Special Foundations. Due to the periodic need for machine tools to be relocated because of changing production requirements, it is the Arsenal's preference to avoid special foundations. The footnote to paragraph 3.1.17(a) of this specification defines the essential properties of the machine shop floors at the Arsenal. It also defines special foundation as any foundation which requires alteration to that floor. That includes not only the installation of deeper concrete footings, and/or isolation pads, but also any excavations within the floor to house chip conveyors, coolant sumps, wire ways, and other items. Consequently, offerors are to provide with their proposals a narrative addressing the foundation requirements for the machine tool being offered. This narrative must address at least the following questions.

1. Will the offered machine tool require a special foundation?

1. If so, why is the foundation required? The response to this question should make clear whether the foundation is required for vibration isolation retention of leveling and alignment, installation of support hardware of systems or a combination of these.

1. If a foundation is required for vibration isolation or for retention of leveling and alignment, what will be the probable impact upon machine tool performance and longevity if the Arsenal chooses not to provide the foundation?
