For

Installation of a Vehicle Guida nce Safety System at Little Rock Air Force Base

PART 1

General Information

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to provide, install and integrate a comprehensive Vehicle Guidance Safety System, except as Specified in section C-3 as government furnished property and services at Little Rock AFB. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background: Backing accidents are the most common, and costly accidents that occur in the fire department. Most notable was the recent accident at Kadena AB where a firefighter was struck and killed by a backing apparatus. This proposed system provides visual and audible feedback to the operator to significantly reduce the potential for a mishap. Failure to invest in improved safety systems leaves additional potential for catastrophic accidents.

Little Rock AFB Fire and Emergency Services (LRAFB FES) currently has no technical safety solutions emplaced to prevent vehicle backing accidents within the fire station. The proposed solution will provide for the installation of a complete vehicle guidance safety system in the fire station apparatus bays and apparatus. This system will provide real time feedback to the vehicle operator, through visual and audible cues and alerts. This system will alert the operator if they are out of alignment to safely back into the facility, when it is safe to pull out of the facility, as well as when to stop. Additionally, there are handheld dead-man remotes for each ground spotter, allowing the spotter to immediately alert the operator to stop. This removes the limitations emplaced by hand signals and verbal communications.

1.3 Objectives: The contractor will design, install and integrate a comprehensive vehicle guidance safety system to be installed in all apparatus bays, and major response apparatus within the fire department.

1.4 Scope: The proposed solution will provide the following capabilities, and be installed on LRAFB:

Provide and install sixteen (16) side guidance light system, one (1) at each apparatus bay door. This system must provide visual indications when it is safe, and not safe for a vehicle to proceed through the bay door. The visual indications must be viewable on the interior of the bay, from the driver seat of the apparatus, as well as from the exterior of the bay, when viewed from both the driver and passenger mirrors. Guidance and warning lights must be tied to photo eye sensors to validate vehicle positioning and clearances. Guidance light systems must include an enable/disable capability to allow for the disabling of the automated systems during periods of maintenance.

Provide and install sixteen (16) vehicle mounted warning system, one (1) in each major apparatus, which will provide audible and visual alerts to the apparatus operator, when it is unsafe to move the vehicle, or when a stop order is given remotely by either front or rear spotters. This system must be automated to engage when the vehicle is started, and placed into reverse.

Provide and integrate forty eight (48) remote spotter emergency stops, two (2) for each apparatus, and one

(1) additional for each apparatus bay door. These remote stops must trigger the side guidance light systems, as well as the vehicle mounted warning systems.

Provide and install sixteen (16) LED guidance lighting strips to be embedded flush into each apparatus bay floor. The intent is to provide the apparatus operator a clear indication of where to back the apparatus to maintain appropriate clearances. Guidance lighting strips must be integrated to the overall guidance safety system to provide a highly visible guide line during all times of day, and weather conditions. The guidance lighting strips must be impervious to water, oil, and fuel. All embedments must be flush with the finished floor surface so as not to create a trip or fall hazard.

Validate all components of the system performance after installation.

Provide training to all operators and department personnel as appropriate.

(1) Inside Light Bar, Truck transmitter, Handheld spotter remote, Able/Disable Switch, Door open/closed alert, audible alarm. Or Equal.

TOTAL

The vendor/contractor will provide all project management, design, labor, materials, and installation. The vendor/contractor will also provide all system documentation and training of the users at LRAFB.

1.5 Period of Performance: All design and installation work must be completed within 180 days from award. A warranty, to include all software, hardware components, installation and labor of the proposed solution, will cover not less than one year from the date of LRAFB final acceptance.
