Steel Forms for Articulated Concrete Mattress

Partial Small Business Set-Aside. The Government is looking for capable Contractors that can produce and deliver 500 to 1,000 steel forms provided with a detailed design and adequate lead time. These forms would be constructed from carbon steel with a mill finish. The government will provide design and specification documents with all dimensional tolerances. These new forms will conform to the existing design in every way except for a new mechanism that will be used to tension the wire mesh before concrete pouring. Existing plan and section views are shown below in Figure 2. The forms are approximately 25 feet long by 4 feet wide and contain scarf and end loop boxes as well as ribbed sections offset approximately 18 inches throughout the form. Part of this sources sought is to solicit new ideas with which to tension the wire fabric in the new steel forms to prevent sagging during the casting process.
