II. Technical/Performance Requirements. A. Work to be Performed. Equipment shall be inspected, certified and load tested. A list of all major items that will need to be repaired shall be submitted to the Officerin-Charge (OIC) or designated authorized representative, herein, upon completion of the work. It shall be understood and agreed that all inspections and tests shall be performed according to the following standards and laws, and their amendments, if applicable, and any other applicable standards, whether specified herein or not, for a complete inspection: 1. State of Hawaii Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, Title 12, Division of Occupational Safety and Health, Subtitle 8, Chapters 135 Aerial Devices, 136 Crane Derricks and Helicopters, and 137 Material Hoists. 2. The following standards referenced in the above chapters and all relevant updates shall be adhered to and be a part of this contract, in the inspections and tests: a. ANSI A92.2-1990, Vehicle Mounted Elevating and Rotating Aerial Devices. b. ANSI B30.2, Safety Standard for Overhead and Gantry Cranes. c. ANSI B30.5, Safety Standard for Crawler, Locomotive and Truck Cranes. d. ANSI B30.6, Safety Code for Derricks. e. SAE J765, Crane loaded Stability Test Code. Upon request by the City, a copy of the above stated standards shall be made available by the Contractor. B. Test Methods. 1. Visual inspection - A complete and comprehensive visual inspection shall be performed by an inspector on all equipment to ensure the unit’s structural integrity and compliance with all regulations. 2. Critical weld inspection - All critical welds, plates, and non-ferrous casting shall be examined visually with the assistance of nondestructive methods of magnetic particle and/or dye penetration inspection. 3. Ultrasonic test - Each access, critical, solid pins will be ultrasonically inspected while pin is in place to detect possible flaws. 4. Di-electric test - A di-electric test shall be performed subjecting the insulated portion of the unit as required. Any hydraulic hosed or control cables that extend the entire length of the insulated arm shall also be tested. 5. Stability test - Performed on all truck mounted equipment. 6. Load test - Performed on all cranes and hoists used for lifting service, in accordance with the applicable standards and manufacturer’s specifications. 7. Acoustic emissions test - Use of an acceptable electronic method of testing fiberglass structural members and monitoring of metal components. C. Estimated Equipment and Working Hours. The equipment to be serviced, listed in APPENDIX C: PRICING/CERTIFICATIONS, are only estimates on an annual basis and shall be subject to the following: 1. In the event the City decides to trade in any equipment toward the purchase of new equipment, retire any equipment, or deem any equipment as surplus or inoperable, the City reserves the right to discontinue service for the equipment. 2. The Contractor shall assume the risk that there may not be any placement of orders for the specified services for any or all of the items called for in the period of the contract. Therefore, in the event the number of equipment to be serviced or working hours do not materialize in the quantity listed herein, such failure shall not constitute grounds for equitable adjustment under the contract. D. Work Requirements Necessary to Provide the Load Test Services. 1. The City shall provide all equipment manufacturers’ load charts for all equipment to be load tested hereunder. These load charts shall be securely fixed to the equipment cab in a location easily visible to the equipment operator while seated at the equipment operator’s control station. 2. The load chart information shall include but not be limited to the following: a. A full and complete range of manufacturer’s approved crane load ratings at all stated operating radii and boom angles, all permissible boom lengths and angles and also alternate ratings for use and non-use of optional equipment on the crane such as outriggers and extra counterweights which affect ratings. b. Identifications of ratings based on structural limitations. Where ratings are limited by structural competence, such ratings shall be clearly shown and emphasized on the rating charts. c. Recommended parts of hoist reeving, size and type of rope for various crane loads shall be shown either on the rating chart or in the operating manual. d. Essential precautionary or warning notes relative to limitations on equipment and operating procedures, including indication of the least stable direction.
