93 -- PILING, RECYCLED PLASTIC, WELDED STEEL REINFORCEMENT, 13 IN DIAMETER BY 40 FT LONG SOL N63387-99-Q-H076 DUE 092299 POC Lynn Wine, Purchasing Agent, (619) 556-8583, FAX (619) 556-7775 E-MAIL: winede@pwcsd.navy.mil, winede@pwcsd.navy.mil. 66 each piling, recycled plastic, welded steel reinforcement. Size 13 in diameter by 40 ft long. Plastic shall be a mixture of one or more of the following recycled, post consumer or post industrial thermo plastics: High density polyethylene, polypropylene and low density polyethylene with a minimum of 2.5 percent, by volume, carbon black. Minimum physical prlperties of the plastic shall be as follows: density (ASTM D792) 34-55 LBS/cubic foot; Modulus of elasticity 45,000 PSI minimum; copmpressive strength (ASTM D695) 3500 PSI minimum; ultimate tensile strength (ASTM D638) 500 PSI minimum; water absorption (ASTM D570) less than 3% weight increase in 24 hours; ultraviolet (ASTM D4329B lamp) no more than 10% change in shore D durometer hardness after 500 hours exposure. Steel reinforcement of the plastic piles shall comply with ASTM A706. Having an ultimate tensile strength of 80,000 PSI minimum. Configuration of the steel reinforcing elements in the plastic pile shall be eight #8 longitudinal bars evenly spaced and welded at each contact point to the exterior of a #3 bar spiral core when simply supported over a 40 foot span shall not deflect in excess of 2 inches. Coverage of the steel elements by plastic shall be a minimum of 1 inch from the side exterior surface and 3 inches on the ends of the pile. The plastic and steel reinforceing elements shall act compositely to provide the following minimum design characteristics: modulus of elasticity, E 1,240,000 PSI; moment of intertia, I 1402 in(4); stiffness, E1 17.38X10(8) LB -- IN(2); maximum yield stress in bending 9424 psi; weight 62LBS/FT; specific gravity 1.05; compressive modulus, EC 2.16x10(5) PSI. The plastic piles shall cure at the plant a minimum of two weeks prior to shipment. Upon receipt of the pilings, the Governmentr will conduct an inspection. Criteria of the inspection will consist of the following: 1) straightness -- each pile shall be measured for straightness by placing a straight line from the center of the top to the center of the tip. The line shall lie entirely within the body of the pile. Pilings not meeting this criteria shall be rejected; 2) cracks -- any cracking of the plastic of the piles shall be cause for rejection; 3) voids -- any void larger than 1 cubit inch shall be cause ofr rejection. In addition to the manufacturer's standard one year warranty, the manuffacturer shall warranty all plastic piles to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of ten years. The manufacturer shall cover all construction costs related to the repair or replacement of the defective elements. This warranty need no cover repairs reaquired as a result of normal wear and tear, misuse, mishandling, extreme weather or other acts of god, failure to perform routing maintenance, non recommended or improperly executed alteration by anyone other than the manufacturer, tampering, loading of the pile beyond its rated capacity, improper installation or other use inconsistent with manufacturers specificaitons This is a combination synopsis/soliciation. No written request for quotes will be forwarded. Numbered Note 1. Posted 09/15/99 (W-SN380483). (0258)
