AJW-141 Weather Systems Platform

Project Summary for Market Research

AJW-141 Weather Systems Platform

The FAA has a requirement for the purchase of a galvanized mezzanine with a static load point of 350 lbs. and installation of the mezzanine. The mezzanine will be used as a Weather Sensor Platform in support of AJW-1411 second level engineering for technical refresh activities associated to the Juneau Airport Wind System (JAWS) and service life extension program (SLEP) activities.

Platform Requirements

• 1. 1. Structural Access
• The platform must have a set of stairs for personnel access
• The platform must have a removable section of sidewall-handrail or a swing gate to accommodate the installation of large items
  1. 1. Size

• The platform must be a minimum of 30 feet long by 30 feet wide
• The platform must have a minimum height of six (6) feet above the ground
• The interior of the platform must be an open area
  1. 1. Materials

• The platform floor must be of an expanded metal bar grating design
• The platform floor must allow for the mounting of poles on which sensors can be mounted
• The platform must be provided with a non-slip weatherproof coating
• The platform must be mounted on concrete piers (caissons)
• The platform must have support posts to support the data conduit junction box
• The platform must have support posts to support the electrical panel
• The platform must have a static point load of at least 350 lbs
  1. 1. Safety

• The platform must have a toe kick of at least 3 ½ inches in height
• The platform must have a handrail of at least 42 inches in height.
  1. 1. Environmental Durability
• The platform must be able to withstand temperatures ranging from a maximum of 110 degrees Fahrenheit to negative 25 degrees Fahrenheit
• The platform must be able to withstand humidity values ranging from a maximum of 100% to a minimum of 10% over the specified temperature range
• The platform must be able to withstand wind speeds of up to 150 miles per hour
• The platform must be able to withstand 3-inch hail
• The platform must be able to withstand a total of 2 inches of freezing rain/ice accretion.
  1. 1. Factory Acceptance Testing

As the weather sensor platform will be assembled “on-site “, a factory inspection prior to shipment is not needed in this case. Acceptance testing will take the form of a sign off from engineers of AMP-400 and AJW-1411

1. 1. 1. Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Manuals and Documentation

The contractor shall provide the engineering drawings of the mezzanine to AJW-1411.
