[BIDDING SPECIFICATION SHEET] May 7, 2012

1. Problem Statement

Currently there is a need for newly designed state-of-the-art; comprehensive modular work stands to be designed. KC-135 maintenance personnel currently utilize articulated lifts and other mechanisms to gain access to the aircraft. These methods are restricting access to the aircraft, and impeded progress towards the Divisions production goals.

2. Scope

The contractor shall join the 507 MXS to provide for the onsite study and design of a comprehensive modular KC-135 maintenance work stand sets for use in Hangars 1030, 1082, and 1053. The work stand set is to facilitate one aircraft ISO process and be capable of being moved and used in any of the other aircraft hangars the 507th ARW owns. Contractor shall participate with the 507 MXS and KC-135 maintenance personnel to provide complete on-site application study and design. 507 MXS will lead the study effort, in conjunction with the contractor and KC-135 maintenance personnel, to determine the requirements of the production branch. Once the requirements have been determined and approved, the contractor shall provide construction ready drawings of the maintenance work stands to the 507 MXS and the government for approval.

The design accepted by the government shall be used for fabrication of this maintenance work stand set purchase and any future purchases for work stands supporting the KC-135 weapon system in AFMC. The first work stand set purchased shall be assembled on-site, prototyped and accepted by the government before pursuing any future purchases of additional sets. This process will spearhead any future purchases by individual units in Air Force Mobility Command.

3. Impact Statement

If work stands are not designed and procured, the KC-135 Inspection Process will continue to be less efficient and less productive than they could be. The production goals of the Branch will not be realized.

5. Order of Precedence.

In the event of a conflict between the text of this statement of work and the references cited herein, the text of the statement of work shall take precedence. Nothing in this document, however, supersedes applicable laws and regulations unless a specific exemption has been obtained.

6. Definition. Work stands or work stand sections in this statement of work are defined as “Mobile Work Platforms” in AFOSH 91-501.

Specifications:

All stands will be capable of being stored inside or outside

In addition, they will be equipped with reflectors which will be placed according to the HTO.

The only stands that we would like to interconnect are the Nose Stand and the Cargo Door Stand. We still require that the stands remain functional as independent units with the ability to interconnect as one continuous platform. The method of connection that is preferred is a quick disconnect mechanical clamp style that is shown in the pictures supplied with the specs.

All Stair and ladder will have slip resistant material and will use this as guidance.

1910.24(f)

"Stair treads." All treads shall be reasonably slip-resistant and the nosings shall be of nonslip finish.

Welded bar grating treads without nosings are acceptable providing the leading edge can be readily identified by personnel descending the stairway and provided the tread is serrated or is of definite nonslip design. Rise height and tread width shall be uniform throughout any flight of stairs including any foundation structure used as one or more treads of the stairs.
