- Description
- The NAVAL FACILITIES ENGINEERING AND EXPEDITIONARY WARFARE CENTER (EXWC), PORT HUENEME is seeking information on Small Business sources that can provide engineering services and support on Linear Segmentation, Pavement Condition Surveys, Pavement Load Evaluations, Void Detection and Pavement Friction, airfield pavements, high performance pavements, nondestructive test equipment maintenance, testing services and research support to the Pavements, Concrete, and High Performance Airfields Program. Engineering Support Conduct pavement condition surveys which incorporate a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) survey, an International Roughness Index (IRI) and Ride Number (RN). The PCI is a visual inspection of pavement that determines the present condition of the surface in accordance to ASTM D 6433-11, by either manual or automated techniques for roads and manual techniques (boots on the ground) for parking lots and other pavements. The IRI is an evaluation of the roughness of the pavement according to ASTM E1926-08 and RN is the ride number according to ASTM E 1489-08. IRI and RN utilize longitudinal profile measurements made by an inertial profile measuring device. All PCI inspections for airfields, helipads and parking lots require manual ( boots on ground ) data collection of pavement distresses. For airfields and helipads PCI inspections, the contractor must follow ASTM 5340-11 or the latest. This consists of walking the pavement and collecting distresses by visual inspection. For some roads, semi-automated data collection of pavement distresses maybe allowed as determined by NAVFAC EXWC. In the cases of semi-automated data collection vehicle, the automated is the collection of pavement images but the data must be interpreted manually by a trained technician offsite. Contact NAVFAC EXWC Pavement Engineer for detailed descriptions of the appropriate approach to pavement condition surveys for roads and parking lots. Linear segmentation is the process by which linear structures are accounted for as segments as directed by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Guidelines. To provide an authoritative source of pavement data, real property records, GIS, and asset management systems are combined to create accurate and current inventory. For pavements this includes reconciling the asset management database iNFADs (Internet Naval Facilities Assets Data Store) with the MicroPAVER inventory database. The process for segmenting roads and parking lots is done in conjunction with a pavement condition survey. Following the PCI inspection, the MicroPAVER database will be the most complete and accurate source of pavement information. This information is transferred to local base asset managers who in turn update their records in iNFADs Evaluate pavements in regards to load evaluation surveys which assess the structural capacity of pavements. For NAVFAC EXWC related business, load evaluations are typically performed on airfield pavements using the Aircraft/Pavement Classification Number (ACN/PCN) method. The structural capacity and physical properties of pavement are determined from non-destructive tests using a heavy weight deflectometer (HWD) and additional measurements. The report produced at the end of a load evaluation survey provides the base with details on the structural capacity, surface condition and work required to strengthen the airfield pavements in order to carry the anticipated traffic over the next 20 years. Contact NAVFAC EXWC Pavement Engineer for more information on load evaluation. (d) Void Detection. Void detection surveys are used to limit the possibility of aircraft (or occasionally other vehicles) from punching through pavements. NAVFAC EXWC has a program to check for voids on airfields every 10-12 years. Other emergency void detection services are also occasionally needed. Typical void detection assessments involve HWD testing above storm drain piping, Dynamic cone penetration (DCP) to verify voids and use of ground penetration radar. Contact NAVFAC EXWC Pavement Engineer for more information on void detection. (e) Pavement Friction. Continuous friction measuring equipment (CFME) is used to determine friction index and determine the need for rubber removal on Navy and Marine Corps runways. The CFME may be self-contained or towed. If towed, the tow vehicle will be considered an integral part of the device. The vehicles and/or trailers must meet all applicable Federal and state laws and/or regulations for vehicles and/or trailers for use on public highways. The side force friction-measuring device, the Mu Meter, must meet the Standard Test Method given in American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) E670-94(2000), Standard Test Method for Side Force Friction on Paved Surfaces Using the Mu-Meter. The Standard Test Method for fixed brake slip devices is under preparation by the ASTM Committee. Other requirements would be based on FAA approved equipment list, and/or specified by Navy Pavement Working Group. More information can be found in Engineering Technical Letter (ETL) 04-10: Determining the need for runway rubber removal. For additional information, contact NAVFAC EXWC Pavement Engineer. ( Lab and Pavement testing Services Various types of lab and pavement testing maybe required. These include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. Geotechnical Tests- These include, but not limited to soil classifications, Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP); Standard Penetration Test (SPT); Shear Test; seepage and water pressure tests; plate bearing tests, borings, test pits. 2. Aggregate Tests -These include, but are not limited to: aggregate characterization (sieve analysis, specific gravity, water absorption, aggregate impact value, aggregate abrasion value, aggregate crushing value, ASR susceptibility, flat and elongated aggregate, freeze/thaw, soundness, sand equivalent value); Geology tests/study. 3.

Asphalt Tests- These include, but are not limited to: asphalt concrete volumetric mix design test methods (Marshall and Superpaver); tests pertaining to the viscosity, penetration, and performance grade (PG) of asphalt binders to be used for asphalt concrete pavements; performance tests and material characterization of asphalt concrete specimens including; extraction of asphalt binder from asphalt concrete mixtures; recovery of asphalt binders from extracted solution; dynamic modulus; flexural beam fatigue test to characterize the fatigue performance of asphalt concrete beams; testing for moisture sensitivity resistance (Lottman Test); flow number test and the use of the Asphalt Pavement Analyzer (APA) to measure rutting resistance; asphalt coring services. High Temperature Concrete Consultant. NAVFAC EXWC is currently involved with the development and evaluation of a paving material capable of withstanding the extreme elevated temperatures and thermal pressures produced by the F-35B short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) variant aircraft. A contractor is needed to provide engineering and professional/technical services with regards to construction in support of the assigned mission.
