About this file
This combined synopsis and solicitation from the Utah Army National Guard seeks quotes for the delivery of standard concrete slabs for use in urban search and rescue training. The solicitation requires 24 slabs measuring 54" by 54" by 8" thick and 40 slabs measuring 48" by 48" by 4" thick, each made of concrete with a compressive strength of 3500 psi and rebar reinforcement. Quotes are due by 12:00 PM EST on March 1, 2024 and shall be submitted via email to the point of contact. Award will be made on a lowest price technically acceptable basis to a small business registered in SAM under NAICS code 238120. The slabs will be delivered to the specified USAR training site at Camp Williams in Utah.

QUESTION & ANSWER 31 JAN 2024
1. Will concrete compression test results be required to confirm that the pre-cast slabs have attained the 3500psi design strength? If so, who will provide and pay for the testing?
We will not require a compression strength test on the slabs the psi is the set industry standard so please just try and get as close to that as possible.
2. Is it acceptable to utilize fiber mesh integral to the concrete mix (for handling stresses)?
We will not require the use of fiber mesh in the mix as long as the slabs are able to be moved around and placed around the training site.
3. Is a “wood-form finish” acceptable on 5 sides of each slab with the threaded insert side (of each slab) being a steel-troweled finish?
Wood form finish is acceptable, like mentioned above these slabs are to simulate a collapsed structure for our teams to breach and gain entry to a building.
4. What is the required rebar yield strength? Typically, #3 rebar is only 40ksi not 60ksi. Should #4 rebar be substituted for the #3 rebar?
#4 rebar would be preferred, we would get more training value out of larger rebar.
5. Please specify a manufacturer for the ½” diameter crown foot threaded insert. Is the insert to be stainless steel?
The crown foot thread inserts do not matter as long as they support the weight and don’t rapidly degrade by being out in the weather.
6. What are these slabs being used for?
These will be used by our urban search and rescue team to simulate a collapsed structure so the slabs will be placed on our training site and the teams will be breaching and breaking/ cutting into these slabs using various methods to gain entry into a structure.
