Aircraft Canopies

The Government’s intent is to have the contractor: (1) remove existing lighting, receptacles, switches, and other electrical service equipment from each existing shelter and reutilize to the maximum extent possible in new shelters. (2) demolish and remove the existing 70’ X 70’ X 30.5’ fabric covered aircraft shelters. (3) construct 70’ X 70’ X 28’ (minimum height) steel aircraft canopy (shelter) to be anchored to existing aircraft parking ramp with the ability to be affixed to the neighboring canopies on both sides (except those canopies on an end parking spot). Canopy shall be minimum height to provide 10’ of vertical clearance between F-15E aircraft and canopy. Canopy shall meet 120 mph wind load. Canopy shall provide bird netting underneath to prevent roosting/perching of birds. Canopy shall include installed 2-man fall protection system. Canopy shall be grounded for lightning protection. The shelters must at a minimum, preserve the driving lanes and allow for ten feet of clearance off each wing tip (horizontal). The contractor will need to paint over existing pavement markings and re-paint them after canopy construction. (4) reinstall previously removed lighting, receptacles, switches, and other electrical service equipment utilizing new conduit/connectors/wiring/etc. as required to ensure operational lighting. The Government anticipates all electrical equipment to be in good working order at the time of removal. Provide and install electrical in the fifteen additional canopies. Description: This procurement will result in a single award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for up to 60 pre-engineered steel aircraft canopies at Seymour Johnson AFB. The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary for the installation of pre-engineered steel aircraft canopies. The potential contractor must demolish and dispose of the existing canvas shelters, provide and install pre-engineered steel canopies. Lightning protection, horizontal lifeline fall protection systems, and preventative measures to discourage birds from roosting will be installed within the steel canopies. Existing lighting and receptacles in the canvas shelters are to be removed and reinstalled on the new canopies; where lighting or canopies are not currently existing they will be provided and installed. The contractor will be responsible for the removal, storage and reinstall of the lighting. Existing pavement lines must be removed and temporary pavement markings provided as required to maintain aircraft taxi traffic patterns. Temporary markings will be removed and permanent markings will be repainted as construction is completed in each phase. All work performed by the contractor shall be performed in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations, standards, instructions, and commercial practices. The IDIQ will consist of a 5 year ordering period with a minimum quantity of 1 canopy and a maximum of 60 canopies. A task order could be issued for greater quantities, up to the limit, but the installation would be completed in phases. The anticipated ordering period is 1 July 2021 – 30 June 2026. Award is anticipated mid-June.
