Upon receipt of the required installation floor plan Watervliet Arsenal will clear the intended installation site prior to delivery of the machine. After placement of the machine by the contractor/riggers, Watervliet Arsenal will run utilities 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 and electrical are not delivered at or before the times specified (see

3.1.18), 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.

3.1.27.2 Work to be Performed by the Contractor. This project is classified as a turnkey with the contractor being responsible for all-work associated with the installation. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for costs associated with skidding and shipment, rigging and installation at WVA. 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 also provide competent English-speaking service personnel to install the machine, rough and finish level the machine, startup, and conduct the acceptance tests specified in section 4. The contractor 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.

Once requirements of paragraph 4.1 and 4.2 have been completed 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 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 backup signal. Operators of forklifts shall have and be able to produce valid forklift licenses. 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 a bill of lading and address label or a return shipping label from carrier and coordinate with the Arsenal POC.
