Exhibit A, A List of Items needed:

A piece of ground support equipment designed to serve as a mobile platform to facilitate the removal, installation and transport of the rear (aft) cargo door on C-130J aircraft during maintenance and inspections.

TO 1C-130J-2-52JG-30-1

Task # 52-31-20 states, "A platform of adequate height must be provided to support the door before hoist cable reaches the end of its travel.

The professional mechanics and technicians of the 86 MXS support aircraft maintenance on all of Ramstein’s 14 assigned C-130J aircraft, as well as transient aircraft. A platform of this nature is required by Air Force technical order 1C-130J-2-52JG-30-1 to facilitate the removal, installation and transportation of the aft cargo door to and from the airplane and to/from off-equipment maintenance facilities/locations. The exact dolly in the attached quote is designed specifically for this purpose which makes this maintenance task much safer and more efficient for all maintainers involved with the removal, installation and transportation of the cargo door. Currently Ramstein Air Base does not have this capability due to that fact that it has no locally manufactured or company manufactured cargo door dolly. The current technical order to remove and replace the C-130J cargo door assembly calls for a locally-manufactured piece of equipment to serve as a “platform,” but other installations’ attempts to locally manufacture a platform to serve this purpose have caused safety concerns due to the lack of technical specifications stating how to manufacture and maintain the platform to the exact physical dimensions and weight-bearing capacity needed of the cargo door. This has resulted in varying designs that lack the safety and mechanical features typically found in modern designs of aircraft support equipment of this nature. The specific and tailored design of the dolly in the attached quote accommodates the C-130J cargo door assembly, allowing for the safe removal, installation and transfer of the door to back-shops for inspection, maintenance and/or repairs.

The dolly shall meet the minimum and exact requirements specifically designed for the C-130J aircraft aft cargo door. I shall be sturdy and professionally built so that it lasts many years and is less of a safety concern. It must also have padding on the door rests to protect the aircraft skin of the door during removal, installation and transport. Finally the platform needs to be easy and safe to transport with towing capability, and solid castered wheels with manual brakes.

FY18 MXS C-130 Cargo Door Dolly:

It shall have a minimum weight bearing capacity of 2500 LBS and be “Air Force support equipment grey” in color, if possible.
