Z -- EMP LABORATORY AND TSE REPLACEMENT SOL F42650-96-R-A235 DUE 062496 POC For copy, PKOA/Evelyn Stoltz/(FAX)801-777-6528, For additional information contact Marlene J. Job/Pkoe/(801)777-2477 Description: Contractor shall provide labor, equipment, and supplies/materials to relocate and upgrade existing EMP laboratory This program involves an existing laboratory which is being relocated and upgraded to bring the EMP Lab up to current weapon system specifications by providing the following: shielded chambers which have 100 db of attenuation against electric fields and 60 db of attenuation against magnetic fields; larger test chambers and test chamber entrances to accommodate large weapon system test articles; a single point ground system; expanded lab space to accommodate present and future TSE requirements; required high-speed instrumentation lines; and an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system to protect and provide constant uninterrupted power to EMP Data Acquisition System (DAS) and test article support equipment. The existing EMP Lab does not provide all of the described capabilities required to perform ICBM weapon system specification S-133-128B tests on ICBM piece parts and subsystems. These tests are required to evaluate system survivability and to expose strategic vulnerability of critical ICBM subsystems, components, and piece parts. The TSE replacement will provide needed upgrades to lab equipment by enhancing wave-shape, time, and energy capabilities. Changes in weapon system testing specifications (as finalized in 1993) required increased capabilities that these upgraded TSE items will provide. These upgrades will ensure that minimum system survivability and hardness testing requirements are properly met. This contract is subject to the Davis Bacon Wages for Weber County.
