· Shelter shall include a lightweight, compact 110V inflation/deflation system not to exceed 24’’ x 8’’ x 8.’’

· The standard inflation system must be able to auto-deploy the shelter at a rate of 100 SQ FT of interior shelter space per minute.

· The standard inflation system must provide a quick-connect positive locking system with inflation valves, both primary and secondary, that does not require threads or locking pins.

· The standard inflation system shall be a stand-alone, allowing it to be an interoperable component with other shelter systems.

Shelter Materials:

· Shelter airframe shall be a Chemical Resistant reinforced synthetic Neoprene material.

· Shelter airframe shall be reinforced Polyester High Tenacity at 990 deniers’ minimum base fabric, equally coated on both sides with Neoprene.

· Shelter airframe material shall have a minimum tensile strength in both directions of 200 lbs./inch.

· Shelter airframe material shall have a minimum fabric weight of 17 oz./square yard.

· Shelter canopy and interior curtains shall be made of a lightweight, yet durable urethane coated nylon or polyester woven material.

· Shelter canopy and interior curtains shall not exceed 10 oz./square yard.

· Shelter canopy shall be UV resistant.

· Shelter canopy shall be water repellent.

· Shelter canopy shall be fire resistant.

· Shelter floor shall by heavy-duty vinyl

Shelter Design and Construction:

· Shelter airframe shall be of a closed, airtight, single chamber design.

· Shelter requires zippered closures on the front and back, not a hard door.

· Shelter airframe shall employ tapered beam and full diameter mitered joints in both the roof and arch structures to ensure maximum resistance to roof load capacities and wind loads in all directions.

· Shelter arches shall be spaced no greater than 62’’ on center to ensure proper roof strength.

· Shelter airframe beams shall have a minimum diameter of 12’’ at all critical load points and a minimum diameter of 8’’ on all lateral beams and cross supports.

· Shelter airframe shall have fully integrated base support air structure and eave purlin air structure for ease and speed of deployment, ability to reposition after deployment, and overall strength and rigidity of shelter.

· All intersecting airframe connections shall have triple-layered seam construction.

· Shelter airframe deployment shall require only one fill or inflation point.

· Shelter shall have multiple inflation options as standard components to include primary fill valve, secondary fill valve, and SCBA fill valve.

· Shelter primary fill valve must be of metal construction and of a quick-connect positive locking “push-pull” design, not requiring thread, hasps or locking pins.

· Integrated SCBA fill valve must be of a double locking quick connect coupling with a hose retainer loop for added safety.

· Shelter shall include as standard at least one self-resetting automatic pressure relief valve capable of relieving sufficient air flow to ensure safe and reliable inflation via SCBA or high-volume inflator and protect against injury to personnel and damage to airframe; pressure relief valve shall be preset to shelter’s operating pressure not to exceed 3.5psi

· Shelter canopy and end walls shall be permanently attached and integrated to the exterior of the airframe.

· Shelter-to-shelter connector shall be integrated into the canopy and does not require any additional components or hardware; shelter-to-shelter connectors shall be sealed via weather-resistant zippers.

· Shelter floor shall be preinstalled but removable via heavy-duty hook and pile; the shelter floor must also include a redundant attachment feature to ensure the floor does not unintentionally become separated from the shelter; shelter shall remain fully operational without the floor installed.

· All specified and applicable options to include doors, windows, utility ports laundry ports, ID panels, LED lighting, curtains, containment berms and plumbing shall be pre-installed and deploy/pack with the shelter.

Performance

· Shelter shall deploy within its own external dimension footprint.

· Shelter shall auto-deploy under normal conditions, not requiring unrolling or unfolding prior to inflation.

· Shelter shall require no more than two personnel to deploy under normal conditions.

· Shelter shall deploy at a rate no less than 100 SQ FT per minute.

· Shelter shall be relocatable after deployment.

· Maximum operating pressure to meet all rated performance specifications shall be no greater than 3.5psi

· Air pressure safety burst factor shall be no less than 10 to 1, meaning the shelter airframe, seams, and components can withstand 10x the normal operating pressure of the shelter.

· Air pressure safety margin shall be no less than 2 to 1, meaning the shelter shall remain fully operational at 50% its normal operating pressure.

· Shelter with all installed accessories and options shall remain fully deployed without the need for reinflation or “topping off” for a time period of no less than 100 hours regardless of ambient temperature changes.

· Shelter’s operating temperature range shall exceed -30oF to 120oF

· Shelter’s minimum wind rating, sustained shall be no less than 50 MPH and minimum wind rating, gust shall be no less than 60 MPH.

· Shelter, when stored properly, must remain fully functional after 6 months of storage without need for deployment or maintenance.
