The work site will be available for performance during normal business hours:

Monday through Thursday Business Hours: 7:00 a.m. EST to 4:00 p.m. EST

Friday Business Hours: Every other Friday from 7:00 a.m. EST to 3:00 p.m. EST

Fridays will be staggered with every other Friday being a closed business day. The first Friday of 2024 to be closed is January 12, 2024.

Based on the above, service contractors should call contract/purchase order administrator in advance if service is scheduled for a Friday to determine if the Arsenal will be open for business.

When a federal holiday is normally observed on Friday, the Arsenal may be closed on the preceding Thursday. In this case, contact the contract/purchase order administrator in advance if scheduling service to determine if the Arsenal will be open for business.

(f) CONTROL OF FOREIGN VISITORS TO WATERVLIET ARSENAL:

Offerors are advised that any employee or representative of their company who is not a U.S. citizen, (or is representing a foreign company) and is a U.S. citizen), planning on visiting the Watervliet Arsenal for the purpose of attending: bid conferences, bid openings, site visits, engineering services, or any other visit related to this solicitation will be escorted at all times by an arsenal representative while on the installation grounds.

Therefore, offerors must notify the Contracting Officer in advance (a minimum of two [2] weeks) of any proposed visit by a non-U.S. citizen or U.S. citizen representing a foreign firm, to assure proper clearance for entry into the arsenal. Failure to comply, or disclose a foreign national visitor, may subject the Contractor to the penalties set forth in 18 U.S.C.A. Section 1001, Chapter 14.

Due to manpower constraints, Watervliet Arsenal is often unable to provide escort services during contract performance. Therefore, if the resulting contract requires performance on Watervliet Arsenal property, employees, individuals or subcontractors representing the successful offeror who are not U.S. citizens may not, depending on staffing levels and the availability of escorts, be allowed access to the Arsenal for purpose of contract performance.

Be further advised that the inability of the Arsenal to provide escorts resulting in denial of access to Watervliet Arsenal of the aforementioned personnel will not be considered an excusable delay to contract performance as defined in the contract clause “Default” contained in the contract. Therefore, offerors should consider the above contingencies during offer preparation.

(h) CONTRACTOR IDENTIFICATION:

Contractor employees shall identify themselves as contractor personnel by introducing themselves or being introduced as contractor personnel and displaying distinguishing badges or other visible identification for meetings with Government personnel.

4.1.2 All gaseous nitrogen used during the recertification process shall meet the requirements of MIL- PRF-27401G, Type I, Grade A, 07 Aug 2013.

4.2 REQUIREMENTS: The following requirements shall apply regardless of which type of testing method is used.

4.2.1 The Contractor shall be a DOT certified testing facility.

4.2.2 The Contractor shall assure all records clearly identify corresponding cylinder number and equipment number. Provide a tube diagram for each piece of equipment indicating pass or fail.

4.2.3 The Contractor shall provide a continuous chart recording of pressure and time for each cylinder hydrostaticly tested.

4.2.4 When disassembly/reassembly is required, the Contractor shall document the location of cylinders on the equipment by serial number, location and equipment license number.

4.2.5 Testing of the cylinders to the required pressure by DOT and testing of the manifolds to the required pressure IAW American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code for Pressure Piping, B31 shall be performed. Clean/filtered water shall be used for hydrostatic testing to prevent contamination of cylinders and manifolds.

4.2.6 The Contractor shall replace all burst discs in the manifold. Rupture disc heads shall be installed with a minimum torque of 40 ft-lbs.

4.2.7 After approved DOT testing method and cylinder assembly, all internal surfaces that will be in contact with the product shall be rinsed with water which meets the requirements of ASTM D 1193, Type IV or equivalent and then purged with dry, filtered nitrogen until the exiting gas reaches a maximum dew point of -80°F. Other methods to ensure cylinders are clean and dry after testing may be acceptable with prior approval of the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO).

4.2.8 The cylinders shall be filled with a helium/nitrogen gas mixture of at least 5% helium/95% Nitrogen for system leak testing. The fully assembled gas system (cylinders, valves, manifolds and safety devices) shall be pressurized to the maximum allowable working pressure with the gas mixture.

All threaded joints and other potential source of leaks shall be leak-checked using a leak detector common to the industry.

The Contractor shall repair all leaks and demonstrate the absence of leaks in the trailer assembly for a minimum period of 24 hours, at the maximum allowable working pressure.

4.2.9 Once the gas system has been determined to be leak free, the Contractor shall bleed down the helium/nitrogen pressure to 15-20 psig @ 70F or purge the helium/nitrogen mixture from the cylinders and replace with either helium or nitrogen blanket at 15-20 psig @ 70F. The 15-20 psig inert blanket shall be maintained on the cylinders to prevent contamination.

4.2.10 Prior to the Government inspection and final acceptance, the Contractor shall perform the following for equipment requiring recertification testing only.

4.2.10.4 Should the Contractor discover any additional repair(s), as a result of the above inspection, the PCO shall be notified in order that the cost of these repair(s) for evaluation.

4.2.10.5 All materials and components used as replacement material/components shall be compatible with the intended service and equivalent in design to the original. If original part “equivalency” requires the use of outdated technology, the Contractor shall propose to the PCO to use replacement parts that are of newer technology. Prior approval by the PCO is required before newer components are installed.

4.2.10.6 If any cylinder fails to comply with the testing requirements as specified herein, the Contractor shall provide the PCO with a detailed description stating the reasons for cylinder failure and include costs to repair or replace the cylinder. All removed parts and/or hardware shall be retained until offered to the Government for inspection. The PCO will review and provide preapproval to the Contractor to repair or replace the parts.
