� Crack Sealing Equipment

Unit applicator used for heating and installing hot-poured crack sealant materials

Mobile unit equipped with double-boiler, agitator-type kettle, and direct-connected pressure-type extruding device with a nozzle shaped for inserting in the prepared crack to be filled

Temperature device for controlling temperature of the sealant

Circulation system to move sealant through the delivery hose and return to inner kettle when not in use

� Robot

Six-axis robotic arm with line tracking to manipulate crack sealant wand

5. Authority Cited: Title 10 United States Code (U.S.C.) §41 USC 1901 as implemented in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) FAR 13.501(a)(1).

6. Reason for Authority Cited: The Army Installations Technology Transition Program has funded ERDC researchers, specifically the APB Asphalt Lab team, to demonstrate the feasibility of an automated crack sealing vehicle to modernize sustainment practices for installation asphalt pavements. Crack sealing is a pavement maintenance treatment commonly employed at Army installations due to the low cost compared to other treatment options and ability to extend pavement life when used appropriately.

However, proper procedures for performing maintenance must be followed to fully realize performance benefits and cost savings, which requires training of personnel and quality control of both materials and processes. Robotic Maintenance Vehicles (RMV), LLC. has developed a prototype automated crack sealing vehicle, the Robotic Crack Sealer (RCS). This capability, which has merit for the Army as it would reduce training and personnel requirement. However, partnership through a service contract with RMV, LLC is necessary to demonstrate this capability, as RMV, LLC is the only known manufacturer of such a system.

7. Efforts to Obtain Competition: A NOI will be posted on SAM.

8. Actions to Increase Competition: A NOI will be posted on SAM.

9. Market Research: Market research was conducted to identify Robotic Maintenance Vehicles, LLC. as the only vendor capable of meeting the Government�s requirement through review of sources in industry and experience of GSL�s asphalt pavement subject matter experts, Dr. Sadie Casillas and Dr. Ben Cox, in researching these systems.
