Cascade Wind Tunnel Removal SOW 3

Introduction The United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) Department of Aeronautics (DFAN) is pursuing the removal of an obsolete Cascade Wind Tunnel (CWT) in the basement of the Aeronautics Laboratory. The primary goal of this acquisition is to provide the solution and services necessary to break down and transport the CWT and related equipment to local abandonment/scrapping and will result in a room cleared for a separately planned lab modernization effort.

1. Background A large and now obsolete Cascade Wind Tunnel is situated in a room in the aeronautics laboratory that is planned for renovation. It is DFAN’s intent to remove the CWT and its associated equipment to free up the space it currently occupies.

2. Objectives The primary objective of this project is the complete removal and disposal of the CWT and all of its associated support equipment. The contractor shall provide a one-time nonpersonal service to include all tools, materials, equipment, labor, coordination, management and transportation necessary to:

1. Safely dismantle and remove the CWT from the facility.

2. Dispose of all equipment and debris in accordance with applicable standards. This will primarily involve the safe and verifiable scrapping of the dismantled CWT components.

3. Ensure all utility connections are appropriately disconnected and made safe and secure within the former site of the CWT.

4. Leave the project site in a “broom” clean and safe condition, ready for the next phase of renovations.

3. Scope The scope of work is inclusive of one removal of the CWT, securing of all utility connections (mechanical and electrical), area clean up, and key tasks including:

1. Draining of all system fluids, including any oils, coolants, or hydraulic fluids, prior to disassembly.

2. The complete disassembly and removal of the CWT structure.

3. Securing all utility connections. This requires that all electrical lines be terminated in properly rated and sealed junction boxes by a licensed electrician. All mechanical piping (e.g., water, hydraulics) shall be securely capped in accordance with applicable plumbing codes and standards.

4. Removal of all associated hardware, fasteners, and support structures from the floors, walls, and ceiling.
