The Government reserves the right to cancel this solicitation, either before or after the closing date. In the event the Government cancels this solicitation, the Government has no obligation to reimburse an offeror for any costs." Salient Characteristics: Power Unit: The power unit will consist of a hydraulic radial piston pump which conveys the fluid from the reservoir and builds up the pressure. The distribution of the fluid is controlled by two mounted valves. The power unit reservoir is driven by an engine with both a low pressure and a high pressure circuit. The engine is to be driven by an internal 4 stroke/cycle gasoline combustion engine. It should have electronic ignition for ease of starting and low maintenance requirements. The muffler should have a spark arrestor to limit ignition source. The hydraulic pump is to be a two-stage radial piston pump. The two-flow pumps used are equipped with two pressure cycles per pump capacity. The unit is equipped with a simultaneous operation control valve block which provides two (2) individual oil flows to each individual two pressure circuit allowing the connection of up to two (2) tools. The individual circuit lines can be operated simultaneously and will be able to obtain full pressure and flow without interrupting or decreasing the performance of the other circuits. The unit is to be equipped with two (2) Streamline mono-coupling connections. The Streamline mono-couplings shall be made of machined aluminum and hardened steel. The mono-coupling system shall have an interlocking push-twist positive sleeve locking capability allowing the twin hose to be connected into a single coupling for safe and quick connection of hydraulic hoses. The motor will be protected by a heavy-duty tubular steel roll cage; it must surround both the engine and reservoir. The power unit is to have anti-vibration isolators to limit unwanted movement. The power unit shall be no longer than 18.50 in (470 mm) or wider than 12.20 in (310 mm) or higher than 17.52 in (445 mm). The tool shall be able to tolerate an ambient temperature range of -4ºF (-20ºC) up to +131ºF (+55ºC). The power unit shall not weigh more than 57.3 lbs (26 kg) including oil. The tool shall be certified as compliant with NFPA 1936; 2005 Edition and shall be labeled as such bearing the mark of the testing agency Spreaders: The tool is a designed hydraulically activated piston with two equal, opposite spreader arms that are symmetrically opened by mechanical joints, thereby spreading objects. Closing the spreader arms is also carried out hydraulically and mechanically by reverse order of the piston. The body of the tool shall be made of anti-corrosive light aluminum alloy for its lightweight, strength and long life. The spreading force shall be up to 57,500 lbft. (256 kN) measured at the base. The tip insertion for spreading applications will be no less than.65 in (17 mm). The tool shall produce a maximum spreading force of 13,714 lbf (61 kN) and a minimum spreading force of 10,342 lbf (46 kN) measured 0.98 in. (25mm) from the tips.
