1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES. The contractor shall provide all supplies, materials, tools, equipment, and qualified labor necessary to inspect, test, and maintain the Aircraft Fire Training Facility (AFTF) & the Structural Fire Training Facility (SFTF) at Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina in a manner that will ensure its serviceability and prevent deterioration in operational effectiveness. The contractor shall comply with manufacturer’s recommendations and procedures, Air Force Technical Order (TO) 35E1-2-13-1 Operation and Maintenance Instructions for Aircraft Fire Training Facilities, 25 June 2013, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and local, state and Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines as applicable to the work involved.

In the interest of safety, all persons employed in handling Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG) shall be trained in proper handling and operating procedures, which the employer shall document. After major maintenance or a major problem is discovered, the owner is obligated to contact Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC), the commissioning authority to determine what actions will be taken. AFCEC will determine if the AFTF will remain out of service, and if a site visit is necessary. Examples of major problems include: Any safety related condition that could lead to an imminent hazard such as: LPG piping or tank corrosion that has reduced the wall thickness to less than that required for the maximum allowable operating pressure. Any crack or other material defect that impairs the structural integrity or reliability of a LPG tank or piping. Any abnormal movement by environmental causes, such as earthquakes, landslides or floods that may impair the serviceability of a pipeline, tank or controls. Any malfunction or operating error that causes the pressure of a LPG pipeline or tank to rise above its maximum allowable working pressure or a leak in the LPG pipeline or tank that constitutes an emergency. Periodic reviews of the AFTF’s will be conducted by AFCEC to determine the effectiveness of the normal 6 month inspection procedures.
