STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

15 – 542 Stowage Drum Custom Tiller

1.0 Background

The Sensors and Arrays Division (Code 153) of the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) is comprised of The Towed Array Handling Equipment Facility (TAHEF), which is the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) certified Designated Overhaul Point for the OK-542 Thinline Towed Array Handling Equipment (TLTAHE) and the OA-9070 Deployable Array Working Group (DAWG). These handling systems are essential for deployment and retrieval operations of the thinline towed arrays used on OHIO CL, LOS ANGLES CL and VIRGINIA CL submarines. The restoration process requires that the Stowage drum on these systems be flipped from a vertical to horizontal position and vise versa several times during the processes.

NUWCDIVNPT, Code 153, requires the procurement of a custom designed piece of handling equipment that will accomplish repositioning towed array stowage drums for repair operations. This equipment will support the repair of thinline towed array handling equipment used on OHIO CL, LOS ANGLES CL and VIRGINIA CL submarines and future COLUMBIA CL submarines.

4.1 In accordance with Applicable Documents 3.1 through 3.4, the contractor shall design one (1) piece of handling equipment capable of individually positioning three different sized drums from a vertical position to a horizontal position and vice versa.

4.1.1 The contractor shall meet the following criteria.

4.1.1.1 Capacity shall be a minimum of 8000 lbs.

4.1.1.2 Power shall be 3HP, 230V/460V AC electric over hydraulic motor with electrical box and NEMA L16-20 receptacle or equivalent.

4.1.1.3 Controls shall be a two button (raise/lower) handheld controller.

4.1.1.4 Material shall be high strength steel.

4.1.1.5 Final Paint shall be Formula ID 15092, OSHA Safety Blue Glossy.

Per AD 3.4.

4.1.2 The contractor shall incorporate the following design objectives into the design of the handling equipment.

4.1.2.1 The bed/deck will need to have a square cut out that allows access to the inner diameters of all three drums.

4.1.2.1.1 This will support repair operations while the drum is in vertical position and must be accessible to technicians.

4.1.2.2 Display the center of gravity on the drawing.

4.1.2.3 Include forklift access points

4.1.2.3.1 Forklift access points shall be equally spaced from the center of gravity.

4.1.2.3.2 Access points shall be approximately 30” apart, center to center.

4.1.2.3.3 Access points shall accommodate forks that are

approximately 5” X 2” with added space for clearance.

4.1.2.4 Include removable steel V-blocks with padding (to avoid metal on metal contact) to be used in securing the drums when in the vertical position and during tilting operations.

4.1.2.4.1 V-Block angles shall be approximately 120° from each other on the tangential side that is touching the drum.

4.1.2.5 Include tie downs or eyebolts for ratchet straps. This will keep the drum from rolling off the V-blocks as a secondary precaution.

4.1.2.6 Include velocity fuses as an electrical failsafe.
