The contract performance period is 600 calendar days from notice to proceed, with work commencing within 7 calendar days of NTP. Liquidated damages are assessed at $2,900 per calendar day for schedule delays.

Scope includes removal and disposal of the existing crane (which contains asbestos and hazardous materials), design and fabrication of a new 30-ton bridge crane with 40-foot span and approximately 150-foot runway length, installation of new power supply to the main disconnect, rail survey with optional repair or replacement, commissioning and load testing, and operation and maintenance training. The new crane must comply with CMAA 70 Class C service, ASME B30.2, and OSHA standards. The crane must operate on 480-volt 3-phase 60 Hz power and include an automation control system with PLC, VFD motor controls, HMI, anti-collision functionality, anti-skew systems, and no-fly zone features.
