Storage solution

The Department of National Defence 8th Air Communications Squadron Bagot Ville, QC has a requirement to procure cages to store and secure material, tools and test equipment while maintaining the capability to transition seamlessly to intermodal containers and air pallet.

Delivery must be on or before 31 March 2019 

BACKGROUND

B Flt requires a storage solution for their deployable equipment in order to maintain readiness in support of LoO 2 missions. Currently, equipment is stored on pallets on the hangar floor, which are not stackable and require excessive floor space.

As it is not permitted to anchor shelving to the hangar floor, a storage solution that is free  standing, stackable, easily movable, and secure is needed as B Flt continues to procure and acquire more equipment as 2 Wing expands. 

Cages must have capability to:
Secure material
Provide capability for visual inspection 
Withstand harsh climate condition with little or no degradation, preferable with hot dip galvanization. 
Cages must be anti-sparking.  
Cages must be portable using existing material handling equipment (pallet jacks/forklifts) with additional top lift capability.  
Cages must offer the flexibility to quickly reconfigure spaces when required.  
Cages must be stackable to safely increase vertical storage capability. 

The storage solutions must allow B Flt to safely store more CIS equipment inside Hangar 3 in collapsible/stackable galvanized steel cages, with PVC covers, while also increasing floor space available for equipment maintenance and training activities. Due to the old wooden roof structure of the hangar it is not authorized to bolt down shelving or cages to secure the equipment since the roof requires a yearly inspection and tightening with the use of a scissor lift which requires the space to maneuver around.

Please refer to the Request for Proposal document for the complete details regarding this requirement including the mandatory criteria, evaluation criteria and the basis of selection.
