Line Item 0009: Installation and Training: The Contractor shall provide installation for the White Light DMEMS Microscope. Installation, at a minimum, shall include uncrating/unpackaging of all equipment, set-up and hook-up of the microscope, demonstration of all required specifications, and removal of trash. Onsite installation and demonstration shall be done at NIST, Gaithersburg, MD. The contractor shall schedule and facilitate a training session for technicians at NIST. The training shall provide a thorough demonstration of all equipment functions, maintenance, data administration, and basic troubleshooting. The training may be completed at NIST immediately after installation and demonstration of performance specifications, but no later than 30 days after installation. Inspection an Acceptance: NIST will perform accuracy measurement performance acceptance tests for translation and rotation along three orthogonal axes XYZ in our laboratories. Since there are no standard tests available, NIST will use our Government-owned nano positioners http://www.isd.mel.nist.gov/meso_micro/ to perform these tests. NIST?s devices have the lowest cross talk and angular deviation errors of any devises of the same size and range of motion and have embedded cap gages with their axes aligned with the actuator axes, which can measure displacement with great accuracy and resolution. NIST will measure the angular deviations with autocollimators. In order to facilitate the performance of these tests NIST will attach a target of known dimensions on the moving stage. The target will be a single crystal rectangular piece of silicon of dimensions 340 micrometers x 340 micrometers. The desired characteristics for a magnification of 20X are the following: X axis (Horizontal translation), accuracy error less than 1 micrometer and sigma less than 20 nanometers. Y axis (Horizontal translation), accuracy error less than 1 micrometer and sigma less than 20 nanometers. Z axis (Vertical translation), accuracy error less than 1 micrometer and sigma less than 2 nanometers. X axis (rotation), accuracy error less than 5 microradians and sigma less than 1 microradian. Y axis (rotation), accuracy error less than 5 microradiansand sigma less than 1 microradian. Z axis (rotation), accuracy error less than 5 degrees and sigma less than 1 degree. The performance will be measured at two frequencies, quasi static 0 Hz and sinusoidal oscillation of 20 Hz. ***The Contractor shall state the warranty coverage provided for the instrumentation.*** ***Delivery shall be provided not later than 12 weeks after receipt of an order. Delivery shall be FOB Destination. FOB Destination means: The contractor shall pack and mark the shipment in conformance with carrier requirements, deliver the shipment in good order and condition to the point of delivery specified in the purchase order, be responsible for any loss of and/or damage to the goods occurring before receipt and acceptance of the shipment by the consignee at the delivery point specified in the purchase order; and pay all charges to the specified point of delivery. The contractor shall deliver line item 0001 to NIST, Building 301, Shipping and Receiving, Gaithersburg, MD 20899-1640. *** Award shall be made to the Contractor whose quote offers the best value to the Government, price and other factors considered. The Government will evaluate quotations based on the following evaluation criteria: 1) Technical Capability factor "Meeting or Exceeding the Requirement", 2) Past Performance, and 3) Price. Technical capability and past performance shall be equal to price. If Technical Capability and Past Performance, are equivalent, price shall be the determining factor.
