Notice text

This is a total small business solicitation. All small businesses, regardless of socioeconomic category, are welcome to provide a RFQ in line with the required capabilities.

The contractor shall provide operators, a rigging team, and one (1) Crane capable of hoisting an M1A2 Tank (73.59 tons) onto/off of a Rail Car.  

Center of gravity for the radius is 36-38 feet, that is from the center of the M1A2 tank to the center of the crane is approximately 36-38 feet. The radius is due to the distance the crane must be positioned at the railhead (distance from the crane to the railcar). The M1A2 tank is 73.59T, the crane boom must be able to sustain lifting the tank and rotating it in a radius of up to 38FT.

Rigging points are on the 4 corners of the tank, approximately 10-12 inches from the edge of the tank. Minimal sling length should be 10-15FT per leg with a cent ring for the hook to attach to, with a weight capacity of 80T for the sling set. Additionally, taglines will be needed to help steer/remain in control of the tank while in motion. The sling set will also require large shackles to attach to the lifting points on the tank.

Spreader bars are also needed in addition to the sling to prevent the cables from pressing into the tank turret and bending the rack.

The Crane will also be used to upload non-mission capable equipment from the ground onto train cars at Camp Funston Rail Yard, Fort Riley, KS, as outlined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS). Non-Mission capable equipment may be: M1A2 Abrams Tank (73.59 tons), M1120A2 Truck (40,300 lbs), M1074A1 Material Handling Crane w/ winch (55,204 lbs), M88A2 Tracked Recovery Vehicle (70.8 tons), or the M2A3 Fighting Vehicle (74,400 lbs). Transportability guidance excerpts have been provided for graphic references, weights, and measurements for vendor consideration of sling set and spreader bars.

12AUG24: Mobilize in, standby to lift for any remainder of the 8- hour day

13AUG24: Lift (8 Hrs) 14AUG24: Lift (8 Hrs)
