Digital X-ray System

AMENDMENT 06

Amendment 06 provides the following:

(a) Questions & Answers as follows:

1. Question:PWS Sections 3.1.14 and 3.2.12 specify vertical travel for both the X-Ray tube head and the imaging panel. Will vertical movement of the conveyor be acceptable instead of moving the tubehead and panel?

Answer: No, vertical movement of the conveyor is not acceptable.
 

2. Question:PWS Section 3.6.1 requires a rotation of 90 degrees that "shall not be done manually". PWS Section 3.9.8 requires rotation of +/- 30 degrees = 360 degrees continuous. How is +/- 30 degrees related to equaling 360 degrees?

Answer:In regard to Section 3.9.8: This section requires 360 degrees rotation continuous of the part. Disregard the optional +/-30 degrees in this Section. In regard to Section 3.6.1: Disregard "then the round shall be rotated 90 degrees and reshot". The requirement is the ability to rotate the part continuously 360 degrees.

(b) Updated Floor Plan with Comments, to reflect where the system can be placed, and what doorways/openings may be used for the conveyor (At Attachment 0008).

(c) Picture of Doorways and Tunnel where the x-ray cabinet will go behind, with Comments (At Attachment 0009)

(d) Revised Performance Work Statement (PWS) dated 15 August 2016 at Attachment 0010.This revised PWS replaces the PWS dated 4 August 2016 at Attachment 0006. All references to "PWS" within this Solicitation refers to the latest (15 Aug 2016) PWS.

Is this an acceptable approach to fulfilling this requirement?

Answer: No, a standard CE certificate is not acceptable. The report must specifically address/fulfill each requirement within Section 11 of the PWS.

2. Regarding PWS dated 4 Aug 2014, Section 3.9.8, Tilting Requirement -

Question (a): What does Crane want to tilt? The actual mortar artillery round itself, while inside the part fixture (not advisable given the upright nature of the round)? The x-ray tube? The detector? Both the x-ray tube and detector?

Answer: Both the x-ray tube and the detector shall tilt. The actual mortar artillery round shall not tilt.

Question (b): Does the tilting need to be motorized, or is manual adjustment acceptable?

Answer: Tilting shall be motorized. Manual adjustment is not acceptable.

3. Regarding PWS dated 4 Aug 2014, Section 3.9.8, Horizontal Travel Specification -

3. Question: Are we responsible for this device?
Answer: No the contractor is NOT responsible for any device used to load/unload the conveyor with projectiles.

4. Question: Does the x-ray system need to be explosion proof?
Answer: No, the area behind the wall where the x-ray will be located will be a non-rated area. The projectiles are sealed with lifting lug, no exposed explosive. The system does, however, need to be able to be grounded (so that it does not build up static).

5. Question: Are only the attendees at this site meeting allowed to bid on this solicitation?
Answer: Yes. The site visit was mandatory.

6. Question: Tunnel openings to be re-used? Not large enough today...fire protection piping currently in the way. Will fire plumbing be removed from tunnel door?

Note: Change from Site Visit discussion: Only ONE tunnel opening will be used. Will be using a door for the other side for the conveyor (will NOT be using the tunnel opening in front of the production line that will be staying on left hand side. Will only be using the tunnel opening on the right hand side because that entire production line will be remove. FLOOR PLAN WITH THIS UPDATE WILL BE PROVIDED.

7. Question: What are the dimensions of the tunnel opening?
Answer: 30 inches wide by 72 inches tall.

8. Question: What is available overhead where built?
Answer:9 foot 5 inches; however, if CAAA needs to move light fixtures up, we can go as high as 10 foot 6 inches. (All of the fire suppression red piping will be coming out overhead).

9. Question: Where is the control console going to go?
Answer: Based on the floor plan and available space, suggest that the contractor propose the best area where the control console should go. But, needs to be on the side of the wall with the x-ray machine.

10. Question: Clarification of what is meant by 3 types of material "TNT"?
Answer:1 projectile (M1122), with two possible explosive loads in the nose. One explosive load is IMX-101, and the other is TNT.

11. Question: What is the max height clearance in the location of the x-ray system?
Answer:9 foot 5 inches; however, if CAAA needs to move light fixtures up, we can go as high as 10 foot 6 inches. (All of the fire suppression red piping will be coming out overhead).

12. Question: Room side of wall is radiation area and where operator sits?
Answer: Yes, radiographer and cabinet will be on the other side of the wall from the conveyor.

13. Question:Can I get a copy of MIL-DTL-32374?
Answer: MIL-DTL-32374 and other technical data/drawings are provided with the Solicitation on FedBizOpps.
