Tires shall conform to the Tire and Rim Association or to The European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization recommendations. Under no circumstance shall the vehicle maximum governed speed exceed the speed rating of any of the furnished tires.

3.1.2 MAXIMUM VEHICLE SPEED

The maximum vehicle governed speed shall be not less than 113 km/h (70 mph) or more than 121 km/h (75 mph) for 6x4 vehicles. Under no circumstance shall the vehicle maximum governed speed exceed the speed rating of any of the furnished tires.

3.1.3 AIR TRANSPORTABILITY

The vehicle shall be air transportable. The successful offeror shall be responsible for certification of air transportability. Air transportability requirements for this vehicle shall include air transport certification in C-130, C-141, C-5, and C-17 aircraft in accordance with the guidelines in MIL-HDBK-1791. In addition, all vehicles shall be equipped with military standard tie down provisions as specified in MIL-STD-209.

3.1.3.1 PROCEDURES

· The agency is to send a written certification request containing a description of the physical characteristics of the vehicle to The Air Transportability Test Loading Agency (ATTLA) when Air Transportability (option ATR) is requested or to The Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command Transportation Engineering Agency (SDDCTEA) for all other modes of transportability.

· Upon receipt of the order the successful offeror is to contact the customer agency to ascertain if the Customer Agency has made application for Transportability Certification to the ATTLA / SDDCTEA.

· The successful offeror is to make contact with the ATTLA / SDDCTEA and shall provide and submit all related drawings and engineering data, within 90 days after receipt of order, directly to ATTLA / SDDCTEA.

· The successful offeror shall continue to work with the ATTLA / SDDCTEA to obtain Transportability Certification for the vehicle(s) ordered. The successful offeror shall supply the ATTLA / SDDCTEA certification memo to the customer agency within 120 days after receipt of the vehicle(s) order. A copy of the ATTLA / SDDCTEA certification memo shall be available during the final inspection.

· ATTLA (The Air Transportability Test Loading Agency) is located at Wright Patterson Air Force Base and can be contacted via e-mail at "ATTLA@wpafb.af.mil". SDDCTEA (The Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command Transportation Engineering Agency) is located in Newport News, VA and can be contacted by e-mail at “dpemail@tea.army.mil” or by phone at (757) 599-1113. A transportability report form for SDDCTEA can be obtained at “http://www.tea.army.mil/pubs/nr/deploy/transinstruction/DI-PACK-80880B.pdf” \t “_new”. References, publications, assistance and engineering services are available from SDDCTEA. Testing information can be obtained from the Aberdeen Test Center (ATC). ATC can be contacted through their website at “http://www.atc.army.mil”.

· Upon receipt of the request, drawings and data, ATTLA / SDDCTEA conducts an analysis of the item's transportability at no cost to the requesting federal agency. If the Item meets the requirements, ATTLA / SDDCTEA return a certification memo to the customer agency with a copy to the successful offeror stating the conditions of approval. Otherwise, ATTLA / SDDCTEA recommend changes that shall allow the item to meet those requirements. Very rarely an item cannot be airlifted or transported at all. In these cases ATTLA’s / SDDCTEA’s reply shall include an explanation of the rejection.

· If analysis alone cannot positively determine the transportability of the item, then a test loading may be required. Test loadings are done when the transportability is uncertain. The test loads require a formal test report and usually are conducted as Special Airlift or Transport Missions. The customer agency shall be responsible for all costs associated with test loadings when it is determined to be required.

· Removal or relocation of mechanically attached (non-welded, non-riveted, etc.) components with common tools, requiring not more than 1 man-hour total to remove, relocate and tiedown; and not more than 1 man-hour total to return the vehicle to its original, as opposed to reduced, configuration; shall be acceptable. The self-mobility of the vehicle shall not be affected by reducing its configuration. Tie downs for removed or relocated equipment shall be furnished. The rated capacity of the axles and suspension system shall be not less than 1.25 times the load imposed on each by the curb weight of the vehicle. The vehicle shall be transportable as described above without any other special provisions and without any shoring. The vehicle shall not be delivered to the Government in its reduced configuration.

3.1.3.2 TIEDOWN PROVISIONS

· The vehicle shall be equipped with four (4) tie down provisions to ensure interoperability between transported equipment and tie down devices commonly used in the transportation environment. Tie down provisions shall conform to MIL-STD-209 for both Type I and Type II equipment. The successful offeror shall perform a structural analysis of the tie down provisions and the surrounding structural elements in accordance with MIL-STD 209 requirements. In cases when the structural analysis indicates the provisions shall clearly pass the requirements, actual physical testing may not be necessary. In cases where the structural analysis indicates the provisions will marginally pass the requirements, redesign or testing shall be recommended to the successful offeror. In cases where the structural analysis indicates the provisions will clearly fail the requirements, a redesign of the provisions shall be required.

· A shipping data plate shall be furnished and shall conform to composition A (class 1 or 2) or composition C of A-A-50271. The shipping data plate shall be inscribed with a diagram showing the tie down attachments, the capacity of each attachment, and the recommended tie down pattern for securing the equipment during transport. A silhouette of the vehicle showing the center of gravity shall be provided on the transportation plate. Stenciling or other suitable marking shall identify tie down attachments. Tie down markings shall clearly indicate that the attachments are intended for the tie down of the equipment on the carrier.

3.1.3.3 TRANSPORTABILITY VERIFICATION

The vehicle shall be inspected to determine that it conforms to the approved certification memo the successful offeror received from Air Transportability Test Loading Agency (ATTLA) or Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command Transportation Engineering Agency (SDDCTEA). As a minimum, the following angles, dimensions and descriptions shall be checked against approved data and drawings:

· Angle of approach

· Ramp breakover angle

· Angle of departure

· Height, longitudinal location and identification of highest component on truck

· Dimensions and locations of any significant projections on truck

· Curb weight of each axle
