3. EXECUTION

3.1 Measurement and Pairing of Chain Assemblies

3.1.1 1-1/4 Inch Chain Assemblies

When each 1-1/4 chain is fully assembled, measure the Nominal Length dimension as indicated in the Product Sketches in Attachment B. To measure, hang each chain assembly so that the complete length is fully suspended with no portions of the assembly touching the floor or ground. As the chain is being raised during the hanging process, ensure that each link is fully seated on the link above it. If head clearance is not available to complete these measurements within the manufacturing facility, the measurement process may be completed outside of the manufacturer’s facility.

Group the chains into pairs consisting of two chains with the most closely measured lengths and assign each pair a Pair Number (1 through 12). Tag each chain assembly with the Mark Number, Pair Number and Measured Length.

Fabricate tags as shown in the Product Sketches in Attachment B. Attach the tag to one end of the chain so that the tag is visible on top when the chain is unpackaged.

3.1.2 1-1/2 Inch Chain Assemblies

When each 1-1/2 chain is fully assembled, measure the Nominal Length dimension as indicated in the Product Sketches in Attachment B. To measure, hang each chain assembly so that the complete length is fully suspended with no portions of the assembly touching the ground. As the chain is being raised during the hanging process, ensure that each link is fully seated on the link above it. If head clearance is not available to complete these measurements within the manufacturing facility, the measurement process may be completed out of doors.

Tag each chain assembly with the Mark Number and Measured Length as shown in the Product Sketches in Attachment B. Attach the tag to one end of the chain so that the tag is visible on top when the chain is unpackaged.

Pairing is not required for the 1-1/2 inch chain assemblies.

3.2 Delivery, Storage and Handling

Provide all packing, crating, and other materials necessary to ensure safe shipment of chain assemblies. Crates shall be palletized to allow for easy handling. All products and crates shall be clearly labeled, allowing workers to easily determine the size and length of each assembly. The crates shall become the property of the Government unless specifically waived. Protect the equipment with the necessary coatings and/or preservatives to maintain in a stable condition without corrosion, deterioration, or degradation for an extended period of storage of up to 12 months.

Protect stored equipment from the weather, humidity, temperature variation, dirt and dust, or other contaminants.

Shipping pricing shall include the cost of delivery to the associated lock site listed below. Shipping addresses and point of contact for delivery inspections can be found below. Notify delivery point of contact 48 hours prior to delivery.

Delivery of all materials shall be made to the shipping address listed below within 20 weeks after contract award, excluding weekends and Government holidays.
