Statement of work HH60J Alignment Fixture Decking Requirements USCG, Aircraft Repair & Supply Center, Elizabeth City, NC, is requesting offers for the fabrication and installation of aluminum decking to cover and surround an existing HH60 Helicopter alignment fixture located in Hangar 79. The fixture was constructed by ADC Engineering in 2003. Specific requirements are as follows: Purpose: To permit airframe and sheet metal mechanics to work airframe discrepancies on the lower portion of HH60 helicopters while the aircraft is rigged in the alignment fixture. General Specifications: 1) Decking must be of sufficient strength to accommodate a 1,500 pound live load capacity with no deflection of working surface. 2) Equipped with evenly spaced stair treads to allow easy transition from the hangar floor to the stands working surfaces. 3) No alteration of the fixture?s alignment targets will be permitted. WARNING: This Statement of Work is for general guidance only. Potential offerors are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to make a site visit to the hangar/fixture site. Item #1, Alignment Base Decking: Decking must cover forward area of alignment fixture with overall dimensions of approximately 92.5 inches in width by 216 inches in length. Removable decking must cover base of alignment fixture, inboard of main landing gear tracks at a width of 92.25 inches. Length of decking is expected to be relatively short in relation to width, so as to allow the weight of each piece of decking to not exceed 80 pounds, thus allowing reasonably easy removal by two persons of average strength, yet minimize the total number of pieces needed to cover the approximate 216-inch length of the fixtures base. Decking height must sit at a level where the decks bottom surface is flush with top lip of main landing gear track rails (approximately 16.5 inches above the hangar floor). Upper surface of decking must be of a sufficient smoothness and stiffness to permit the use of mechanics ?creepers? and able to support three mechanics with minimal deflection of the deck surface. Decking must be fabricated to clear 2 contour support structures, one tail landing gear hydraulic jack, and various supporting structures between main landing gear tire tracks. WARNING: This Statement of Work is for general guidance only. Potential offerors are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to make a site visit to the hangar/fixture site. Item #2, Work Stand Lower Decking (One Right Hand, One Left Hand): Decking is to be attached to two existing movable work stands used for maintenance on both the right and left hand side top of the aircraft. The work stands lower decking is to be installed at a height where the bottom surface of decking is flush with the top edge of the alignment fixtures main landing gear tracks vertical flanges (approximately 16.5 inches above the hangar floor. Decking shall cover the entire area directly below the existing work stands upper work area (dimensions are approximately 250 by 71 inches). A one-tread staircase is to be equipped on each of the decks (1 right and 1 left) to allow easy transition from floor level to the decks top surface. Location of the staircase is along the outboard 250 inch dimension. A strip of hinged decking is needed along the inboard edge of the work stands lower decking along the 250 inch dimension and should extend the lower decking work area surface an additional 18.5 inches in an inboard direction to provide a flush and continuous deck from the outboard edge of the R/H work stand to the outboard edge of the L/H work stand, when base decking is in place and a hinged decking is in a down position. The hinged deck must extend in an inboard direction approximately 18.5 inches to cover the main landing gear wheel tracks. The 18.5 inch wide decking that covers the main landing gear wheel tracks shall be hinged to the work stands fixed decking or work stands vertical support columns and able to rotate 90 degrees upwards to expose the alignment fixtures tire tracks, thus allowing movement in and out of the alignment fixture. A mechanical catch will be required to keep hinged decking up and clear from main landing gear tire tracks. In a downward/work position, hinged decking may rest on upper edge of the main landing gear tire tracks vertical flange. WARNING: This Statement of Work is for general guidance only. Potential offerors are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to make a site visit to the hangar/fixture site. The decking will be used in support of US Coast Guard owned HH60J Aircraft. The closing date and time for receipt of offers is September 08, 2004, 4:00 pm EDT. Facsimile and email quotes are acceptable and may be faxed to 252.335.6790 or emailed to tburgess@arsc.uscg.mil.
