STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES

Bldg 898 Paintbooth Retrofit 24 August 2015

LOCATION: Building 898, CORROSION CONTROL FACILITY

A. Introduction/Background The current paint booths are meant for Low Observable (LO) aircraft (F-22/F-35) and require a considerable amount of filtration and safety measures. The booths that are in use now utilize a far more advanced filtration system than what is required for the F-16s, which are currently stationed here at Holloman AFB. It is not cost effective for the 49 WG to continue to keep them LO aircraft certified. The current model of paint booths we have at Corrosion Control building 898 are three (3) custom Moorhead Industrial Services INC, LO/Composite Repair Facilities.

B. Objectives The Fabrication Flight is requesting the removal of the three (3) paint insert’s Direct Digital Controls (DDC) and equip the existing three (3) paint booths with individual conventional aircraft paint facility inserts with Programmable Logic Computer (PLC) controls meant for use on F-16/F-15 aircraft. All work will be located in building 898. The configuration of the paint booths consists of a cross draft for direction of airflow, the spray booth is dry, the filtration system is a 3 Stage with carbon filters, and is managed with a computer system specifically made and installed by Moorehead Industrial Services INC. This design will allow each booth to operate independently of the other, but have the capability to be networked to allow for single connection for remote support. The inserts must be large enough to accommodate an F-16/F-15 aircraft, utilizing the existing super structure and hangar doors. Additionally, the contractor will verify filtration requirements and modify current filter banks to possibly remove the Carbon Filter wall to use with the new PLCs and lower maintenance costs. The contractor will ensure that all modifications to the booth are in accordance with the Corrosion Control Facility Reference Guide (CCFRG) Version 10_17Dec2012.

C. Scope of Work The contractor will design, install and commission a system that the operators and maintenance personnel can reliably operate and maintain as well as operate the ECS for three (3) inserts intended for the use of painting F-16/F-15 Aircraft. Each booth will be designed as a “turn-key” system and will conform to all local, state, and government requirements. The contractor will remove the existing LO paint booth systems, Direct Digital Controls and install new paint inserts with individual booth Programmable Logic Computer controls able to accommodate an F-16/F-15 Aircraft. The contractor will also be required to test, commission and give all certificates of conformity. The contractor will need to provide a statement of work as to how they will accomplish this requirement.
