Additional Levels to Existing Structural Pallet Racking System

Project Overview This project involves the addition of new levels to the existing structural pallet racking system.

The work will include procurement of materials, installation according to approved drawings and specifications, and removal of all trash and debris resulting from the work. Only bids with catalog specifications on components will be excepted.

Objectives

• To enhance the storage capacity of the existing pallet racking system.

• To ensure the new levels are installed safely and securely.

• To comply with all relevant industry standards and specifications.

Scope of Work Drawings and Specifications: Vendor to provide drawings and specifications for MBTA review and approval

1. Procurement of Materials

• Materials Specification: All materials must conform to the existing specifications of the current pallet racking system. (ROCNA SERIES (or Equal) Structural Beam 108" x C4 x 4.5# orange)

• Acquisition: Procure all necessary materials, including o Quantity 1136, Beams, 1136 48”x52” o Quantity 1136, Wire Mesh Decks (min capacity 3500# in the waterfall style).

o All other components required for the additional levels with minimum of 4 bolts per beam.

o Submit specifications of proposed beams and decks with response for review.

• Quality Control: Ensure all materials meet the approved standards and specifications before procurement and get MBTA conformation.

2. Installation

• Preparation: Inspect the existing pallet racking system for any structural issues or deficiencies that may affect the installation of new levels.

• Wages: Installation must meet MA prevailing wage parameters

• Hours/Duration: Installation hours will be 6am-6pm M-F to be completed in 10 days once all material has delivered.

• Permitting: if needed; vendor to obtain and state or local permits.

• Drawings and Specifications: Installation must be performed in strict accordance with the approved drawings and specifications.

• Safety Measures: Implement all necessary safety measures to protect workers and the structural integrity of the racking system during installation.
