All work shall be completed IAW appropriate manufacturer specifications. The contractor shall field verify all existing conditions prior to beginning any work and shall immediately notify the Government POC of any discrepancies not already identified herein. Failure to do so indicates the contractor accepts the conditions as they exist and shall perform the work to bring each sunshade to the OEM specification required.

1.2.3 Contractors must provide adequate documentation and explanation of their recommended installation plan or strategy, as well as pricing and specifications of equipment intended to be installed in their quote.

The contractor will only have access to only a portion of the 50 sunshades located on the 33 FW aircraft parking apron at one time. The minimum will be seven sunshades and the maximum will be 10 sunshades. The exact number will be coordinated at the pre-performance conference before the commencement of work. The 33 FW and associated units using the aircraft parking apron for daily operations will provide escorts during all periods of work for the contractor’s personnel working on the aircraft parking apron which is a restricted area.

1.3 SCOPE OF WORK

The contractor shall provide all materials, supervision, labor, and equipment to repair 53 Aircraft Sunshades manufactured by Big Top Shelters (53 each 70’ x 70’ x 30.5’ shelters) as follows:

1.3.1 REPLACE THE SUNSHADE FABRIC COVERS (51 Sunshades Total).

The contractor shall:

1. Remove and properly dispose the sunshade fabric covers for the 50 Big Top sunshades on the AF parking Apron and one sunshade located behind building 1332, fuel cell maintenance hangar IAW with state and federal law. There will be no on-site dumpsters available for these fabric covers on Eglin AFB.

2. Install new 28 ounce, tan (same color/shade as the fabric covers being replaced), opaque, flame retardant PVC coated fabric sunshade covers with polyester scrim on these 51 sunshades which are 100% compatible with the pre-existing Big Top frames.

3. Remove and replace the tensioning systems for the new fabric covers and necessary nuts and bolts for the threaded rods. The contractor shall provide new tensioning tubes, tension rods, nuts and bolts for attachment and new tensioning all-thread rods. The size and strength of the replacement parts must be equal to or greater than those being replaced. Provide documentation to that effect.

4. Provide a 10 year pro-rata warranty on the fabric covers and an extended 5 year pro-rata warranty on the frame.

1.3.2 GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR (53 Sunshades Total)

1. Clean, prepare, and apply a zinc-rich coating to all metal sections of the sunshade structure exhibiting corrosion IAW with the Zinc-rich coating manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Properly tension 4 each ¼” x 108’ roof cables with 4 each cable clamps per shelter.

3. Properly tension 8 each ¼” x 44’ roof cables with 4 each cable clamps per shelter.

4. Properly tension 2 each ¼” x 112’ cover cables per shelter.

5. Tension all nuts/bolts at truss connections, x-braces, etc. for each shelter.

6. Adjust all threaded rod tensioning and tension straps for each shelter.

7. Repair minor cuts and pin-holes in the shelter fabric for the two shelters without the replacement covers (see paragraph 1.3.1 above).

8. Torque anchor bolts for each shelter.

1.3.3 SUNSHADE LIGHTNING PROTECTION SYSTEMS (52 Sunshades Total)

1. Provide design, materials, and labor that results in a certified lightning protection system (LPS) on each existing sunshade (52 total sunshades: 50 on the AF parking apron, 1 behind the fuel cell maintenance hangar, and one at the engine run-up pad Z-3). The existing sunshade LP systems may not meet current guidance/references listed in paragraph 1.5 below and may require supplemental air terminals and associated components to bring into compliance as individually protected structures. The contractor shall perform all work and certify through the method identified in paragraph 1.3.3.2 all LP systems meet requirements of paragraph 1.5.

2. The lighting protection systems must be inspected by an independent Underwriters Laboratories (UL) certified inspector and certified meeting current requirements for UL 96A, Installation Requirements for Lightning Protection System.

3. The independent UL certified inspector shall issue an inspection certificate for each installed lightning protection system (one per sunshade). These certificates shall be provided to the 33rd FW Facility Representative, Mr. Marc Richard.

4. The independent UL certified LPS contractor shall test the grounding electrode resistance to ground for each sunshade. This value must be 25 ohms or less. If the value is above 25 ohms, the contractor shall install an additional grounding electrode, electrically tie it to the existing grounding electrode and re-test the resistance. A record of the test and resistance reading for each sunshade shall be provided as a contract deliverable to the 33 FW facility rep, Marc Richard.

5. The LPS contractor shall inspect all components of the LPS on each of the 52 sunshades.

Any component that is defective or not approved for use in a certified LPS shall be replaced with the appropriate component certified to meet the UL96A and the other reference standards listed in paragraph 1.5.
