Table of Contents

1.0 INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND

This Statement of Objectives (SOO) defines the requirements for the design, procurement, delivery, and installation of a new high-density mechanical-assist mobile shelving system at Little Rock Air Force Base (LRAFB). The objective is to replace existing shelving with a modern, efficient, and safe storage solution that maximizes storage capacity within a defined footprint inside the existing building structure. The contractor shall provide all labor, materials, equipment, transportation, supervision, and project management necessary to deliver a complete, turnkey system.

2.0 SCOPE OF WORK

The contractor shall design, furnish, install, and commission a complete high-density mobile shelving system. Work includes:

[CHANGED] [Removed] [CHANGED] [Removed] Installation of new mobile carriages, rails, decking, shelving, lighting, safety systems, and accessories within the existing building footprint.

Coordination with base personnel regarding site access, yellow pillar removal, loading dock use, and installation sequencing.

[CHANGED] Submission of detailed factory-engineered shop drawings including but not limited to: rail layout, carriage dimensions, load ratings, shelving configuration, ADA ramp details, and electrical requirements.

Compliance with all dimensional, structural, operational, and safety requirements in this SOO.

3.0 PERIOD AND PLACE OF PERFORMANCE

Period of Performance: The contractor shall complete all work within 120 days from the date of contract award.

Place of Performance: Little Rock Air Force Base, AR 72099, inside the designated building storage area.

Site Access:

The building includes three loading docks.

The building is equipped with roll-up doors suitable for material handling and equipment entry.

Hours of operation are 0800–1600, Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays.

The contractor shall coordinate all access, security requirements, and delivery logistics with base personnel.

4.0 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS & SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS

4.1 General System Requirements

System must fit within a maximum floor space of 19.5 ft × 48 ft inside the building. [CHANGED] The new mobile shelving system shall run perpendicular to the existing pallet racking and shelving.

All visible components shall have a durable gray finish.

4.2 Mobile Carriages and Track System

Adjustable, anti-tip rail system.

[CHANGED] Maximum 2-inch polyvinyl decking, slip-resistant, installed between rails and integrated with the building’s concrete floor.

Solid steel end panels on all exposed carriage ends.

Low-profile end stops to prevent over-travel.

4.3 Shelving and Structural Components

Height Compliance — All shelving must be installed at a height between 11 feet and 13.5 feet, inclusive of the vinyl flooring.

Minimum 405 lbs per shelf load capacity.

Permanent, highly visible load-rating data plates required on each shelving section.

4.4 Performance and Operation

Mechanical-assist, single-reduction drive mechanism with handles. [CHANGED] Hand cranks are required on both sides of the system, and carriage handles must be installed on the 48-foot side of the system.

Carriages must move loads up to 10,000 lbs with no more than 1 lb of applied force.

4.5 Safety and Accessibility Features

Full-length passive mechanical safety sweep that halts movement upon contact.

ADA-compliant steel ramps providing smooth transition from the building floor to the deck surface. [CHANGED] Steel ADA ramps are required for both sides of the system.

All safety features must meet applicable federal and DoD standards.

4.6 Integrated Lighting System

Two overhead LED linear fixtures per aisle. [CHANGED] Lights shall be automatic, set to illuminate when the aisle is opened and turn off when closed..

5000K color temperature with aisle-specific optics for vertical illumination.

All lighting power routed from the central stationary carriage, with electrical integration coordinated with the building’s existing power infrastructure.

4.7 Building Conditions & Requirements

The contractor shall verify all building conditions, including floor levelness, ceiling height, lighting clearance, and wall obstructions prior to installation.

The building includes roll-up doors that may be used for equipment entry and material movement.

All work must occur during the building’s 0800–1600 operating hours unless otherwise approved.

The contractor shall protect all building finishes, including floors, walls, and doorways, during material movement and installation.

Yellow safety pillars will be removed by the Government prior to installation, ensuring a clear and unobstructed installation area.

No damage may occur to the building’s structural components, utilities, or fire-suppression systems.

5.0 SHELVING CONFIGURATION REQUIREMENTS (Unified Section)

5.1 Unified Shelving Requirements

Height Limit — Shelving must be installed at a height between 11 feet and 13.5 feet, inclusive of the vinyl flooring.

Shelf Capacity: Minimum 405 lbs per shelf, tested and certified.

Adjustable Shelves: All shelving must include adjustable shelves capable of being repositioned along the uprights [CHANGED] at 1-inch or 1-1/2-inch increments, so that adjustments on one side do not affect the opposite side.

Minimum Shelf Count: Each shelving section shall include a minimum of 8 shelves (8 shelf openings).

Back Panels: [CHANGED] Required only on the outside carriages.

Data Plates: Permanent, highly visible load-rating plates required.

Finish: Durable gray finish consistent with the rest of the system.

5.2 Integration With Mobile Carriages
