Salient Characteristics for Pallet Racking System

Rationale of Requirement

The 647 CES operates and stores 1.8K sq-ft of contingency training equipment for Wing CBRN Defense classes, Warrior Airman Training, Base Readiness Exercise, Prime BEEF and Expeditionary Training at Base X.

To support these critical operations, a heavy-duty, industrial-grade pallet rack system is required. This system must provide safe, high-capacity vertical storage to optimize the physical footprint, protect government equipment, and ensure immediate operational readiness.

Physical and Functional Requirements

The vendor must provide a heavy-duty pallet rack system that meets or exceeds the following minimum essential physical and functional characteristics.

System Components & Dimensions

The racking system must be configured as a continuous, interlocking bay run consisting of one (1) Starter Unit and four (4) Add-On Units to share vertical uprights, maximizing floor space and structural integrity.

• Starter Unit (1 each):

• Type: Two-shelf heavy-duty pallet rack starter unit.

• Dimensions: Approximately 144” Length x 48” Width x 144” Height.

• Load Capacity: Must support a minimum of 7,000 lbs per unit.

• Add-On Units (4 each):

• Type: Heavy-duty pallet rack add-on units.

• Dimensions & Quantity:

• Two (2) units at approximately 120” Length x 48” Width x 144” Height.

• Two (2) units at approximately 144” Length x 48” Width x 144” Height.

• Load Capacity: Each unit must support a minimum of 7,000 lbs.

• Wire Decking (44 each):

• Type: Heavy-duty pallet rack wire decking.

• Dimensions: Approximately 58” Width x 48” Depth.

• Load Capacity: Each deck must support a minimum of 3,500 lbs.

Construction and Material Characteristics

• Frame: Must be constructed of welded 14-gauge steel (or equivalent strength).

• Beams: Must be constructed of 16-gauge steel (or equivalent strength).

• Assembly: System must feature a boltless design where beams securely lock into the upright frame.

• Adjustability: Beams must be vertically adjustable in 2-inch increments to accommodate various load sizes.

Safety Components

• Rack Protectors (6 each): Must include post protectors with dimensions of approximately 6.5” Width x 24” Height to prevent damage from forklifts or other equipment.

• Installation Hardware: Must include all necessary hardware for assembly and for anchoring the system to a concrete floor or equivalent (e.g., concrete wedge anchors).

Installation and Delivery Requirements

• Full Service Installation: The vendor is required to provide all necessary equipment, materials, and certified operators to complete the full installation of the pallet rack system.

• Anchoring: Vendor must securely anchor each rack section to the existing concrete floor using appropriate hardware (e.g., standard wedge anchors) to ensure system stability and safety.

• Installation Site: The system is to be installed in a pre-designated, open, and clear area within a pre-engineered metal building.

• Installation Timeframe: On-site installation must be completed within 14 calendar days after the delivery of all materials and components.

• Delivery Lead Time: All materials and components for the project must be delivered within 45 calendar days after contract award.
