- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in the notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This is a Request for Quotes (RFQ) and is 100% set aside for small businesses. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for the procurement is 333415 and the Small Business size standard is 750 employees. The US Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research and Development Center Contracting Office, has a requirement for six (6) 400,000 pound compression spacer load cell for 3.250 inch diameter and six (6) 500,000 pound compression spacer load cell for 3.750 inch diameter (to include shipping). FOB is destination. Desired delivery is 60 days after receipt of order. This is for purchase and delivery only and not installation. Additional Information: The load cells will be outdoors in continuous operation on a lock gate in the central US. The air temp will dip occasionally to well below 0 F. requiring a low temperature operating limit of -30 F. In normal operation the load cells will not be submerged. However, in periods of high water that usually occur with spring floods, they may be submersed for extended periods of time to a depth of up to 20 feet. They are required to operate under these conditions. It should be noted that submergence and freezing temperatures are mutually exclusive conditions and the load cells will not be subject to simultaneous submergence and sub-zero temperatures. This solicitation is for two sizes of compression spacer type load cells. They are called load spacers because these devices are placed over a threaded rod between a base plate and a capping nut and washer. When tension in the rod increases the load cell is compressed between washer/nut and base plate. The two rod diameters that will "pass through" the load cell are 3.25" and 3.75" respectively, this each load cell will be build according. This type of load cell is sometimes referred to as a "load washer. When the load cell is compressed strain in the steel produces a proportional change in resistance of internally bonded strain gages that is thus proportional to the applied load. The relevant details, specifications, and a concept drawing are provided in the "Additional Documentation" section of the solicitation. All critical dimensions are clearly stated on page 2 of the attachment. Also as specified, all exposed surfaces are to be Nickel plated for maximum corrosion protection. Questions: 1)Are the load spacers threaded internally, are they designed with center through hole? Refer to Page 1 Note on thread type for pass thru; and Refer to Page 2 of Attachment, Detailed Specifications, Critical Dimension B. 2)What is overall max diameter of load spacers? Refer to Page 2 of Attachment, Detailed Specifications, Critical Dimensions "A" - Maximum Overall Cell Diameter 6.00-inches for Type 1, and 8.00-inches for Type 2. 3)Does the drawing call out for the overall max thickness of each load spacer, for 400,000 and 500,000lb? Refer to Page 2 of Attachment, Detailed Specifications, Critical Dimension "E" - Maximum Cell Height = 6.000-inches; both types.
