Description

Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory is looking to acquires

PPPL personnel perform much of the routine required inspections; however, during peak workload periods and for large repairs, the Subcontractor may be called upon on to perform these tasks. This SOW provides the requirements for subcontracted periodic inspections. It also addresses the assignment to a Subcontractor of the requirement to perform remedial (corrective) maintenance, which may be determined necessary based upon the periodic inspections, in order to make a piece of equipment operable in accordance with governing codes and standards, and the performance of routine maintenance as recommended by the various equipment manufacturers. Unless specified and agreed to otherwise in writing, PPPL requires that the work be performed in accordance with the manufacturer specifications and procedures. After any maintenance is performed, a complete thorough check of equipment function shall be performed including all safety features and interlocks as described by the manufacturer.  Additionally, the Subcontractor may be called upon for advice for crane upgrades and performance enhancements. Several large cranes (Items 3, 13, 33, 34 on Attachment A) are retrofitted with Catron/Electromotive radio remote controls and Variable Frequency Drives. Familiarity with and qualification in maintenance and adjustments of these cranes and control systems is mandatory.  Subcontractor's membership in the Crane Manufacturers Association of America (CMAA) is regarded as highly desirable, and a measure of the Subcontractor's professionalism and technical qualification for performing tasks such as assigned under the Statement of Work.PPPL does not guarantee any minimum level of work and reserves the right to use other sources to perform the inspection and maintenance tasks when PPPL determines this to be appropriate
