Description
DLA DISPOSITION SERVICES is soliciting requests for proposals (RFP) to issue one or more Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA)for Portable Truck Axle Scale Systems, components, parts and maintenance service (for calibration and repair at contractor’s facility). This solicitation is a 100% small business set aside under NAICS 333997 . The proposal shall be for an [ INTERCOMP AX900 Axle Scale System- Brand Name ], OR EQUIVALENT, as listed below . The Government will only consider proposals for new equipment. Proposals from distributors acting as manufacturer’s agent shall be accepted. The contract term shall be up to 3 years (ONE Year Base, and TWO 1 Year Option Periods). Maximum Value: The maximum value of the BPA shall not exceed $695,000. General: The weighing system shall be suitable for outdoor use, easy to use, maintain and repair. It shall be durable, reliable, and free of defects affecting performance, strength and safety. It shall be complete when installed, including all items needed to weigh vehicles. The freight packaging shall protect components in long term outdoor storage (2 year minimum). Wireless Scale: The machine shall meet the following minimum salient characteristics: Accuracy: 1% of Applied Weight. Current/Valid NTEP Approved: The system (indicator and axle scale) shall be NTEP certified to Class IV nMax 1200 divisions and Indicator to Class III showing both indicator and scale as tested and approved as a system. NTEP Certificate shall show deck size demonstrating each pair consists of 5.5’ x 32” sections allowing split weighing of axle groups at an approved capacity of 60,000 pounds (LBS.) per 50 pound (LBS.) division. The NTEP Certificate must be submitted with proposal response. Components: One System 11’ft. (2-pair of 2 Channel) (4-5.5’) platform/axle scales, with digital cable & wireless output. CPU capable of communicating with scales in cabled and wireless modes with built-in printer & memory record storage. Digital cabling with quick disconnect connectors. Axle Scale: Platform/Axle Scale. Height of each deck shall not exceed 3.6 inches nor shall the Width be less than 32 inches. The deck shall be of lightweight aluminum with diamond tread plate surface construction for non-skid traction purposes. Ramps shall be affixed to each end of each deck, shall be easily detachable, and be no more than 18”-inches in length. The scale shall withstand up to a 50% overload with no change in calibration and 100% overload with no damage. Platform/Axle Scale: Height of each deck shall not exceed 3.6 inches nor shall the width be less than 32 inches. The deck shall be of lightweight aluminum with diamond tread plate surface construction for non-skid traction purposes. Ramps shall be affixed to each end of each deck, shall be easily detachable, and be no more than 18”-inches in length. The scale shall withstand up to a 50% overload with no change in calibration and 100% overload with no damage. Load Cell: Each platform/axle scale shall use four (4) - solid state fully electronic shear beam Type load cells; NTEP certified to 5,000 divisions by National Institute of Standards and Technologies. The load cells shall be hermetically sealed and of stainless steel construction for environmental protection. The load cells shall be commercially available. Any scale using proprietary, mechanical or hydraulically actuated electronic load cells will not be accepted. The load cells of each 5.5’ platform/axle scale shall be summed to provide one digital output signal. The one output signal shall be digital to enable any of the systems’ cables or indicators to be connected to the scale without having to perform calibration. Cables: To minimize the amount and distance, two 15 ft. digital interface cables shall connect the platforms/axle scales. One 50 ft. digital interface cables shall connect the platforms/decks to the CPU/indicator. Quick disconnect metallic connectors and cables are to be interchangeable with any system of the same make and model without requiring calibration. Digital Input CPU: Shall communicate with the decks and serve as a means of displaying, printing, and/or saving weighing records. The CPU/indicator shall communicate with the deck scales via a digital cabled or wireless signal. Analog signals will not be accepted. The indicator is to be interchangeable with any scale or system of the same make and model without requiring calibration. At a minimum, the CPU/indicator functions should include on/off, zero, clear, axle accumulation, screen adjust, back light, low battery indicator, reset, and time and date. The CPU/indicator shall be capable of saving records, and provide RS232 and USB outputs for interface to computer or a remote display, and download saved records to a USB flash drive. Manuals in digital and paper copy: Operators Guide and Maintenance and Service Manuals (1 digital and 2 hard copy) per portable scale order. Equipment Warranty: This equipment shall come with the manufacturer’s standard equipment warranty, with a ONE YEAR MINIMUM which begins after Gov’t’s acceptance of delivery.
