SP451022Q1013 Questions_Rqmnts Response.docx

1. Bid Schedule for Proposal:

-Korea-MHE-Price-Schedule -Attachment+1+Bid+Schedule Task and equipment and QTY varies in each schedule Q: Does solicitation provide two different schedules for two different locations, Humphryes and Ginchon?

A: Appendix 1 shows the total number of individual pieces of equipment at both sites. The Price Schedule shows total number of PMs, etc required to be performed. For example there are three 4K diesel forklifts on the equipment list. However on the Price Schedule it shows one line for PMs on 4K diesel forklifts and shows a quantity of 6 for the Base Year (bi-annual PMs). There are not two different schedules for the two different locations.

2. Actual number of equipment:

Does the number of equipment in the price/bid schedule reflect the actual number of equipment in two locations?

A: See Question 1 Answer.

3. Proposal for Transportation to and from PMs and CMs -PWS (Performance Work Statement), Para 3.h The contractor shall utilize CLIN 0029 to charge for transportation to and from PMs (Preventive Maintenance Site?)

-PWS, Para 4.e The price estimate shall utilize CLIN 0029 to charge for transportation to and from CMs (Corrective Maintenance Site?)

-CLIN 0029: Lug nut torquing on forklift electric, 4K

The statement in PWS doesn’t seem to match the CLIN 0029 description.

Can CLIN 0029 be found elsewhere other than the bid or price schedule?

A: CLIN 0029 and associated CLINS in the Price Schedule, will accompany the Labor CLIN for Corrective Maintenance repairs.

4. The historical record of corrective maintenance (CM) that tells the scope of work.

(This will help the proposal to be appropriate for CM) A: Historical is not available.

5. Which one we use when submitting quotes, Attachment 1 Bid Schedule - South Korea MHE or Korea MHE Price Schedule?

A: Korea MHE Price Schedule V2 is uploaded and the correct document to utilize.

NEWS | March 15, 2022 Forklifts: Load Testing Requirement

Photo by Sgt. Gaelen Lowers

Dear Half-Mast, Our unit is having an issue with lifting devices and load testing. I’ve been told that lifting devices (like a forklift) don’t have to be load tested anymore.

I was also told that a load test was only required when a vehicle’s hydraulic line is leaking or a hose is replaced. What’s the scoop?

Mr. W. T.

Dear Mr. W.T., TB 43-0142, Safety Inspection and Testing of Lifting Devices (Feb 97), doesn’t have a blanket requirement for annual functional testing (also referred to as load testing) of all forklifts. The only exception is forklifts that are used for handling hazardous material, per Para 4.b.(2)(d).

Paragraph 4.a.(1) does require load testing prior to the first use after production or extensive repairs.

Paragraph 4.b.(2)(c) leaves it to TMs, manufacturer documentation and Appendix D to define when a forklift requires a functional test, so review each of these to see if they provide specific guidance.

Be advised that for TACOM-managed forklifts, there are currently no requirements to conduct yearly functional tests.

Although it’s not expressly mentioned in the TB, annual functional tests can always be mandated by unit or command SOPs.

The bottom line is: a load test is required whenever a load-bearing structure is removed, replaced or repaired. Examples include a crane’s boom section that's welded or a hydraulic lift cylinder that's replaced.

Replacing a hydraulic hose doesn’t require a load test. Although replacing a leaking hydraulic hose to a boom lift cylinder doesn’t require a new load test, replacing the lift cylinder itself does require a load test.

9. Do you need Annual Load Test on Forklift for all of your Forklift every year ?

Answer: Yes.

10. Please provide me the model No. and Manufacturer for the following unknown equipment.
