National Museum of the United States Air Force, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio

I. SCOPE OF WORK: The National Museum of the United State Air Force (NMUSAF) is a world leader in the museum profession reflecting the Department of the Air Force's (DAF) standards of excellence in performance and technology as a fully accredited military aviation and history museum. NMUSAFs mission is to protect, collect, research, preserve, interpret, and present the DAF’s history, heritage, and traditions. The Research and Archives Division (MUA) supports the mission by managing and preserving the archival collections, developing content for exhibition, and providing historical guidance for exhibit development, aircraft restoration, staff projects, and queries from the public and media. Per Department of the Air Force Instruction 84-103, Department of the Air Force Heritage Program, one of the core missions of NMUSAF and the DAF History and Museum Program is to preserve museum objects and prolong their usefulness to the study of material culture, while using reasonable care to protect rare and historically significant materials from deterioration by following generally accepted library and museum conservation standards.

Our current research library shelving is more than six decades old, and the collection has well outgrown its capacity. Beyond their lack in space, the units are deteriorating and no longer functioning as proper library/archival book storage. Additionally, there are safety concerns due to peeling paint, sharp corners, and broken access points.

II. SCOPE: NMUSAF/MUA requires Spacesaver brand shelving/storage solution for our

Research Library & Reference Book Collection. The appropriate storage will be a 4-post-type shelving system, that will be easy to reconfigure as our space changes and grows.

Units should be made of steel, with a powder coat paint finish in line with American Library Association standards. Each unit should have window (glass) frame-mounted hinge opening doors to promote complete visibility. Units should be adaptable to mobile storage applications. Due to current building limitations, units can be no taller than 62.75” and should provide a minimum 675 linear feet but no more than 695 linear feet.

1. Step van/panel truck

c. The following are exemptions to vehicles utilizing the CVDG:

1. If the vehicle has the product inside (concrete and asphalt trucks) and timely delivery is necessary due to product deterioration it does not need to enter the CVDG. To bypass the CVDG, the contractor shall submit a list containing drivers’ names, social security numbers and the state in which the driver's license is held for those drivers who will be entering the base. This shall be accomplished 24 hours prior to requested entry time. If entry is requested on Monday, this list must be submitted by Friday at 1630 hours. All lists shall be submitted to the 88th ABW/CE Directorate contract inspector. The only gates that may be used under this exemption shall be 15A, 26A, 38A, and gate 1B. If the driver's name is not on the list, he/she will not be allowed access to the installation through these gates and the base will not assume liability for denied access.

2. If a delivery vehicle must exit, and then re-enter the base to complete its route, the vehicle shall be resealed upon exiting the base. After initially passing through the commercial vehicle delivery gate, trucks shall be resealed at Gates 15A, 38A and 22B. The resealing of the trucks will allow them to continue to any other area of the installation (Areas A, B, or Kittyhawk) without reprocessing through the CVDG. To receive resealing assistance, the drivers shall physically stop at one of the three authorized gates and request the installation entry controller to reseal their truck and provide the next location of their delivery. The controller will reseal the truck and give the delivery driver a pre-clearance form. The driver shall present the pre-clearance form to the entry controller at the next point of installation entry. This reentry can be through any base gate.

d. Vehicles may be subject to an inspection at any of installation entry control points during a directed random antiterrorism measure (RAM.) Any commercial vehicle, regardless of size, can be directed to the CVDG at the discretion of the installation entry controller.
