High-Density Mechanical-Assist Mobile Shelving System

STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES (SOO) High‑Density Mechanical‑Assist Mobile Shelving System Little Rock Air Force Base, AR 72099 1.0 INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the requirements for the design, procurement, delivery, and installation of a new high‑density mechanical‑assist mobile shelving system at Little Rock Air Force Base (LRAFB). The objective is to replace existing shelving with a modern, efficient, and safe storage solution that maximizes storage capacity within a defined footprint inside the existing building structure. The contractor shall provide all labor, materials, equipment, transportation, supervision, and project management necessary to deliver a complete, turnkey system. 2.0 SCOPE OF WORK The contractor shall design, furnish, install, and commission a complete high‑density mobile shelving system. Work includes: Removal and disposal of all existing shelving in accordance with DRMO or base‑directed procedures. The contractor shall remove, dismantle, and discard the existing shelving system in its entirety, including all uprights, shelves, hardware, anchors, and associated components. Installation of new mobile carriages, rails, decking, shelving, lighting, safety systems, and accessories within the existing building footprint. Coordination with base personnel regarding site access, yellow pillar removal, loading dock use, and installation sequencing. Submission of engineered blueprints, as Government‑provided images are examples only. Compliance with all dimensional, structural, operational, and safety requirements in this SOW. 3.0 PERIOD AND PLACE OF PERFORMANCE Period of Performance: The contractor shall complete all work within 120 days from the date of contract award. Place of Performance: Little Rock Air Force Base, AR 72099, inside the designated building storage area. Site Access: The building includes three loading docks. The building is equipped with roll‑up doors suitable for material handling and equipment entry. Hours of operation are 0800–1600, Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays. The contractor shall coordinate all access, security requirements, and delivery logistics with base personnel. 4.0 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS & SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS 4.1 General System Requirements System must fit within a maximum floor space of 19.5 ft × 48 ft inside the building. All visible components shall have a durable gray finish. 4.2 Mobile Carriages and Track System Adjustable, anti‑tip rail system. 2‑inch polyvinyl decking, slip‑resistant, installed between rails and integrated with the building’s concrete floor. Solid steel end panels on all exposed carriage ends. Low‑profile end stops to prevent over‑travel. 4.3 Shelving and Structural Components Height Compliance — All shelving must be installed at a height between 11 feet and 13.5 feet, inclusive of the 2‑inch vinyl flooring. Minimum 405 lbs per shelf load capacity. Permanent, highly visible load‑rating data plates required on each shelving section. 4.4 Performance and Operation Mechanical‑assist, single‑reduction drive mechanism with handles. Carriages must move loads up to 10,000 lbs with no more than 1 lb of applied force. 4.5 Safety and Accessibility Features Full‑length passive mechanical safety sweep that halts movement upon contact. ADA‑compliant steel ramps providing smooth transition from the building floor to the deck surface. All safety features must meet applicable federal and DoD standards. 4.6 Integrated Lighting System Two overhead LED linear fixtures per aisle. 5000K color temperature with aisle‑specific optics for vertical illumination. All lighting power routed from the central stationary carriage, with electrical integration coordinated with the building’s existing power infrastructure. 4.7 Building Conditions & Requirements The contractor shall verify all building conditions, including floor levelness, ceiling height, lighting clearance, and wall obstructions prior to installation. The building includes roll‑up doors that may be used for equipment entry and material movement. All work must occur during the building’s 0800–1600 operating hours unless otherwise approved. The contractor shall protect all building finishes, including floors, walls, and doorways, during material movement and installation. Yellow safety pillars will be removed by the Government prior to installation, ensuring a clear and unobstructed installation area. No damage may occur to the building’s structural components, utilities, or fire‑suppression systems. 5.0 SHELVING CONFIGURATION REQUIREMENTS (Unified Section) 5.1 Unified Shelving Requirements Height Limit — Shelving must be installed at a height between 11 feet and 13.5 feet, inclusive of the 2‑inch vinyl flooring. Upright Style: 4‑Post uprights in a Closed “L” / Open “T” configuration. Shelf Dimensions: 36‑inch deep, unslotted, heavy‑duty 18‑gauge steel shelves. Shelf Capacity: Minimum 405 lbs per shelf, tested and certified. Adjustable Shelves: All shelving must include adjustable shelves capable of being repositioned along the uprights. Minimum Shelf Count: Each shelving section shall include a minimum of 8 shelves (8 shelf openings). Back Panels: Installed only where required by system design or Government direction. Data Plates: Permanent, highly visible load‑rating plates required. Finish: Durable gray finish consistent with the rest of the system. 5.2 Integration With Mobile Carriages Shelving must be fully compatible with the mechanical‑assist mobile carriage system. Shelving must be securely fastened to the carriages per manufacturer specifications. Layout must support safe, smooth carriage movement and comply with all safety sweep and ADA requirements. 5.3 System Layout Requirements Layout must maximize storage capacity within the 19.5 ft × 48 ft footprint. Final layout must be reflected in the engineered blueprint package. Maintain required clearances from wa…
