Tender Details

To increase the nation s presence in arctic regions, the united states coast guard (uscg) is conducting market research to enhance the aviation support capabilities of the uscgc polar star. The uscg is seeking to certify polar star s aviation facilities prior to october 15, 2016 by rectifying the following deficiencies:
1) overhead lifting- lift 1000 lbs in sea state 3. Provide 3 degrees of freedom in hook movement (i.e. Vertical, fore and aft, and athwartship), with variable speed of movement in all axes. Hook height above the hangar deck can be no less than 12.5 feet. All components shall be corrosion resistant or suitably coated for marine use.
2) washdown provisions - washdown provisions for the maintenance and servicing support of mh-65 aircraft assigned to the cutter with equipment currently supportable in the commercial marketplace. The completed system shall be capable of discharging water (provided from an existing source on the cutter) at a rate of 10 gallons per minute, with sufficient hose to washdown the entire aircraft spotted anywhere in the hangar, or on the flight deck, spotted with the nose wheel at the aft most edge of the landing circle. The completed system shall be operable on the flight deck (including sufficient hose flexibility to allow stowage of the hose) with the hangar door open in temperatures as low as to -5 deg f. The completed system shall avoid freezing down to continuous exposure to - 5 deg f, with exposure up to one hour at -30 degrees f.
In addition to the installation, this requirement will include as-built drawings, provisioning technical data, and calculations for the above requirements.

Added: sep 21, 2015 4:13 pm

the purpose of this "change, dated 9/21/15" is to provide an answer to a question regarding the rfi and post the applicable uscg drawings identified in the original notice.
Question:

can you tell us if the lifting equipment requested is an overhead travelling crane, for interior use? this is what the drawing appears to show, but we would like to check just to be sure.
Uscg answer:

yes. An overhead traveling crane closely resembles existing shoreside ground support equipment (gse), and is believed the best available solution, but respondents are welcome to provide suggestions for other alternatives the coast guard may be unaware of.please consult the list of document viewers if you cannot open a file.
