2. This solicitaition will be based on Brand Name or Equal and will result in a firm‐fixed price contract. The preferred machine is a Varrinelli model 70kN X 12,000 or equal.

3. Specification #19‐17‐3416 defines all requirements for this action.

4. Offeror shall reference INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS for additional guidance relative to the structure of its Technical proposal.

5. Award of this contract will be on a Lowest Price Reasonable basis.

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFEROR

INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICES TO OFFERORS

1 Instructions to Offerors. The purpose of these instructions is to provide prospective contractors with additional guidance relative to the structure of their technical proposals.

1.1 Contents of Proposals. All proposals must as a minimum include:

A. A fully executed solicitation (SF 1449 Form) with all pricing and clause fill-ins completed

B. A complete statement of compliance (see L.1.2) C. A complete supplementary questionnaire (see L.1.3) D. Prior customer list (see L.1.4) E. Foundation information (if instruction L.1.5 is included) F. MSDS sheets (see 3.1.9.6)

Note: Failure of any proposal to meet the above minimum requirements may render that proposal technically unacceptable. In addition, brochures, illustrations, narratives, drawings and sketches pertinent to the equipment being offered are permissible and are encouraged. Offerors are cautioned, however, to screen such materials carefully before submission to insure that they will not introduce any of the deficiencies described in the request for technical proposals.

Generalized information not pertinent to the equipment being offered is not encouraged and will not be evaluated.

1.2 Offeror's Statement of Compliance. Enclosed with the specification is a prepared form entitled "Offeror's Statement of Compliance". The left hand margin of this form lists, in order, the number of all the paragraphs in the specification containing requirements which must be addressed by offerors. To the immediate right of each paragraph number is two blocks headed "comply" and "non-comply". The entry of "x" or a check mark is required in one of these two blocks for each numbered paragraph of the form. However, offerors are advised that the checking of the "non-comply" blocks for any paragraph will result in non-acceptance of the offer unless explanation is provided and deemed acceptable by the Arsenal. For this reason, space is also provided on the form for offerors to explain any entry of "non-comply". This explanation should point out the degree of, and reason for, non-compliance, and it should explain what is being offered as an equal or better alternative to the specified requirements. Furthermore, checking of “comply” without providing the pertinent supporting information is not acceptable.

A thorough explanation of how compliance will be achieved is required. Space provided for comply/non-comply explanations on the form is limited. If additional space is required, a separate sheet may be used to continue the explanation. If such a continuation sheet is used, it should refer to the paragraph number being explained. Offerors are further advised that although specified requirements are mandatory, they normally stem from performance needs at the Arsenal. Thus, when an offeror must take exception to a specified requirement he/she is well advised to provide as much information as possible about what he/she is offering so that the Arsenal can judge the impact, if any, upon the equipment’s performance, as well as the builders adherence to proper design practices. On the lower right hand corner of each page of the form is a signature block. Each page of the form should be signed by the offeror or his/her authorized representative.

1.3 Reserved

1.4 Prior Customer List. While the Arsenal is committed to the procurement of the most up-to-date technology, it is our established policy not to finance R&D efforts when an established state-of-the-art technology already exists which will satisfy the requirements of the specification. Consequently, and unless the specified equipment is classified as special (see 3.2.1) offerors are required to submit a list of prior customers to whom they have furnished equipment essentially identical for the rifling of a 155mm canon tube, to that being offered in accordance with the specification. This list will include company names, addresses, and the names of points of contact, and will be used by the Arsenal to complete its evaluation in three areas:

A. It will serve as evidence that new R&D will not be required, and the item to be furnished is proven equipment.

B. It will provide the opportunity for the Arsenal to contact (and possibly visit) the prior customers to confirm that the equipment is, in fact, essentially identical to that being offered and has been successful.

C. It will provide the opportunity for the Arsenal to contact the prior customers for confirmation that the offeror's repair parts and service organization will satisfy the requirements of paragraph 3.1.19 of the specification.

1.5 Special Foundations. Due to the periodic need for machine tools to be relocated because of changing production requirements, it is the Arsenal's preference to avoid special foundations.

The footnote to paragraph 3.1.17(a) of this specification defines the essential properties of the machine shop floors at the Arsenal. It also defines special foundation as any foundation which requires alteration to that floor. That includes not only the installation of deeper concrete footings, and/or isolation pads, but also any excavations within the floor to house chip conveyors, coolant sumps, wire ways, and other items. Consequently, offerors are to provide with their proposals a narrative addressing the foundation requirements for the machine tool being offered. This narrative must address at least the following questions:

A. Will the offered machine tool require a special foundation?

B. If so, why is the foundation required? The response to this question should make clear whether the foundation is required for vibration isolation, retention of leveling and alignment, installation of support hardware of systems or a combination of these.

C. If a foundation is required for vibration isolation or for retention of leveling and alignment, what will be the probable impact upon machine tool performance and longevity if the Arsenal chooses not to provide the foundation?

1.6 Standard or Optional Equipment. The dedicated function of this specification is the acquisition of a machine tool equipped as herein described. All paragraphs are specific in their intent and are not to be misconstrued as requests for options. The machine system described by this specification shall be provided with all required equipment whether or not stated requirements are standard or optional with the machine tool builder/supplier. Proposals which include offers of any specified equipment or specific requirements as an option, or as options at extra cost, may be considered as non-responsive.

1.7 Reserved

1.8 Additional Requirements for Noted Sections of the Specification (#19-17-3416)

Section 3.1.4 - Slideway Design and Construction – Please state in your proposal details of the way system being offered.

Slideway systems other than the three (3) referred to in section 3.1.4 may be offered provided that their design is consistent with all specified performance characteristics of the machine.

Section 3.2.2.0 - Needed Spare Parts – Contractor shall list all available options and pricing with solicitation.

3.1.17 Technical Data. All data shall be in the English language and shall be furnished in accordance with the quantities, formats and delivery dates below. All data shall be packaged and delivered separately from the machine itself marked to the attention of the Technical POC.

a. Foundation Drawings, Standard or Special (see note): Shall be complete in all construction detail to permit pricing and construction by a general contractor and shall be furnished as soon as possible by e-mail to POC after contract award not to exceed 30 calendar days past award (CDRL A004). All drawings shall be dimensioned in English units. One electronic copy on CD in AutoCAD .dwg or .dxf format shall be provided. AutoCAD drawings shall not utilize the color yellow or any other colors that cannot be made readily visible when plotted out in color. When drawings are finalized the contractor shall certify the accuracy of the drawings by providing a stamped and signed hard copy of the drawings to the Watervliet’s

POC.

If a special foundation (see note) is required and the vendor/contractor refuses to provide the detailed drawings required then this shall be grounds for disqualification from further consideration in the machine tool procurement. Vendor proposals submitted shall be clear in their response to this requirement.

Note: Typical floor thickness at Watervliet is 8”-10”. A special foundation is one which exceeds thickness, load bearing capability and vibration insulation of Watervliet Arsenal's standard monolithic concrete flooring of 1,000 pounds per square foot load rating and/or one which requires a specific thickness, specifically-shaped excavations for coolant housings, chip conveyors, electrical circuits and conductors, etc.

The soil (sub-straight) for a foundation is assumed to be medium dense gravel or medium dense gravel and sand with a minimum bearing capacity of 4,000 PSF. Should the contractor disturb the soil below the yet to be constructed concrete foundation then the contractor shall compact the disturbed soil to achieve at least 2,000 pounds per square foot (PSF) bearing capacity.

Important: See instructions section L.1.5

Foundation Drawings details shall include at least:

1) At least one drawing shall depict an over-lay top view of the machine foundation outline, machine general arrangement drawing (including all ancillary equipment) and the anchor bolt whole pattern.

2) The foundation drawings shall include 100% complete foundation details necessary for Watervliet Arsenal to directly hand over to a General Contractor for construction.

This detail shall include, but not be limited to, complete foundation dimensions, rebar locations, rebar size, rebar pattern, concrete PSI requirements, and load bearing specs.

The chip removal unit shall be mounted full length of work area at rear of machine or full length of work area within the confines of the machine bed. The system shall minimize the need for operator intervention to clear jams or free tangles. Conveyor controls shall include Manual/Auto, Fwd/Rev and Stop. There shall be controls located at the conveyor output as well as at the operator’s station. The unit's drive mechanism shall be equipped with an external square or hexagonal extension piece to permit use of wrenches to manually free blockages which stall the drive mechanism. The unit shall operate successfully in a variety of machining environments including dry-cutting, machining with cutting oils and machining with water-extendable oils. The unit shall be reversible to facilitate clearing of blockages. The chip removal unit shall be engineered for the machine so that when fully installed in accord with instructions all points subject to periodic maintenance and lubrication shall be externally accessible and the unit shall be capable of being disassembled and removed without disabling the machine itself.

3.1.26 Machine Installation, Startup and Testing.

3.1.26.1 Work to be performed by the Arsenal. Upon receipt of the required installation and foundation drawings (see 3.1.17); Watervliet Arsenal will prepare the intended installation site prior to delivery of the machine. After placement of the machine by the contractor/riggers, Watervliet Arsenal will run utilities (power and air) to first points of connection. However, if the installation instructions supplied by the contractor are incomplete or insufficiently detailed, installation work will stop and the contractor will be required to dispatch a service engineer. Installation will resume upon his arrival and continue under his guidance.

Note: If installation instructions, foundation drawings, and electrical and hydraulic schematics are not delivered at or before the times specified (see 3.1.17), the Government reserves the right to forestall delivery and/or final acceptance testing of the machine by an amount of time equal to the delay in receipt of instructions, drawings, or schematics.

3.1.26.2 Work to be performed by the Contractor. This project will be turn-key with the contractor being responsible for all aspects of the project except as mentioned in par

3.1.26.1 above. If a special foundation is not required the Contractor is responsible for the removal of wood block flooring and existing concrete preparation. Grouting for machine hold downs shall be the contractor’s responsibility regardless of foundation type. The contractor shall provide competent English-speaking service personnel to install the machine, rough and finish level the machine place the machine in operation and conduct the acceptance tests specified in section 4. The contractor, through his own service personnel shall be fully responsible for the startup and testing of the machine, and the service personnel shall remain until the machine activation and testing have been successfully completed. Under no circumstances should the contractor plan on gratuitous Arsenal assistance for diagnosis, troubleshooting, or repair of the equipment during activation and testing. Should such activity prove necessary, it shall be the contractor's responsibility to provide the appropriate labor and materials. If the contractor chooses to request Arsenal assistance in lieu of providing his own resources, the request will be reviewed by the Technical POC who shall reserve the right to impose a charge for the assistance. Approvals, even on a charge basis, should not be taken for granted since there is no guarantee that appropriate Arsenal personnel will be readily available.

In such cases, the Arsenal will not be held responsible for delays in acceptance of the equipment resulting from non-availability of Arsenal personnel or Arsenal-furnished equipment.

Contractor personnel shall be solely responsible for costs associated with shipping, delivery, rigging, installation, and connection. After all required work has been completed, and upon completion of paragraphs 4.2 and 4.5 the contractor shall ship the machine to Watervliet Arsenal.

Contractor personnel shall coordinate the shipment of the machine to Watervliet.

Contractor personnel shall arrange for rigging services to off load the machine and contractor personnel shall be on-site at Watervliet when the machine arrives and is off loaded. Outside rigging services should be advised that only tagged and certified chain hoists are permitted to be used at the Arsenal and that all rigging slings must be tagged and certified for the weights being lifted. Contractor personnel shall supervise the placement of the machine on the installation site by the rigging service. In most cases no Arsenal forklift services and/or Arsenal personnel will be available for the installation. Only propane powered forklifts are permitted and must also be equipped with a roll cage and operator license. Arsenal overhead pendant cranes (within load capacities) can be used by the contractor/rigging service for the installation. The contractor shall provide written certification to the WVA representative that all contractor/rigger personnel are qualified, through either formal training or experience per OSHA, to operate pendant controlled overhead cranes. Contractor personnel shall also adhere to the WVA requirements to wear OSHA approved safety glasses and safety shoes while in the manufacturing shop areas. The contractor shall ensure they bring all equipment/material necessary for the installation of the machine(s). Watervliet does not have the resources to provide such material. Crane capacity within each building is limited (2, 5, 10 or 15 tons) and therefore if not adequate then the contractor will need to provide alternate means necessary for the installation.

IMPORTANT: Under normal circumstances the contractor will be allowed to work as long as is desired during normal work days. Contractor work outside Watervliet’s normal work days cannot be guaranteed. Watervliet is on a condensed work schedule. Normal work hours/days for this schedule are four 9-hour workdays (Friday off) one week and four 9-hour days, one 8-hour day (Friday) the following week. Contractor work on the Friday off and weekends cannot be guaranteed. Contractor’s classified as foreign nationals may further restrict work hours and days available.

If the contractor requests Watervliet Arsenal to ship misc. material via UPS, FedEx or by other similar carrier then the contractor shall provide their carrier account number for this purpose.

3.2 Machine-Specific Requirements.

3.2.1 Machine Tool Description. The machine tool covered by this specification shall be one new 39’ heavy duty CNC horizontal Broach/Rifling Machine (machine).
