Two sets of design drawings (not shop drawings) along with calculations shall be submitted for government review/approval prior to fabrication. This requirement shall be within 45 days after contract award. Government will review and return comments/approval within 10 working days. Prior to shipping, ramps shall be erected for inspection by the Government to assure full compliance with the specs at the plant and thereafter during the shipping schedule if required. Load test will be conducted at delivery point in Jacksonville, Fl. General Requirements: Materials -- The ramps provided shall be of all high strength alum. construction. Materials used shall be free from defects which would adversely affect the performance or maintainability of individual components or of the overall assembly. Materials not specified herein shall be of the same quality used for the intended purpose in commercial practice. All material and articles incorporated in the work are to be new and unused. Structural support -- The assembled ramps shall have structural capacity and be reinforced or braced, where necessary, to produce adequatestrength and rigidity to prevent permanent deformation or damage to any part under maximum load. Aluminum fabrication -- The high strength aluminum used in fabrication shall be free from kinks, sharp bends and other conditions which would be deleterious to the finished product. Manufacturing processes shall not reduce the strength of the aluminum to a value less than intended by the design. Manufacturing processes shall be done neatly and accurately. All bends shall be made by controlled means to insure uniformity of size and shape. Bolted connections. Bolt holes shall be accurately punched or drilled and shall have the burrs removed. Washers or lock washers shall be provided in accordance with good commercial practice, and all bolts, nuts, and screws shall be of adequate strength to support maximum loads. Welding. Welding procedures shall be IAW a nationally recognized welding code. The surface of parts to be welded shall be free from rust, scale, paint, grease, or other foreign matter. Welds shall be transmit stress without permanent deformation or failure when the parts connected by the weld are subjected to maximum loads. Assembly instructions. Four copies of contractor' standard assembly procedure shall be delivered with the equipment. Procedure shall include a list of materials including plate needed to assembly the ramps. Procedure shall also include a list of all hand and power tools required to assembly the ramps. Instructions format shall be manufacturers standard. Cost to be included within price of unit.
