Hruska U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (USMARC) are developing scientific information and new technology to solve high priority problems for the U.S. beef, sheep, and swine industries. About 50 percent of the effort is with beef cattle, 30 percent with swine, and 20 percent with sheep. The Feedmill is used to prepare feed for these animals. 2. Scope: The USDA, ARS, U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (USMARC) requires repair of a crack in one of the concrete vertical wall corners of bin 19 at the feedmill. Contractor shall provide all tools, equipment, materials, etc., necessary to accomplish this work. This shall include all testing equipment and other equipment and tools for entering and working in confined spaces (inside of bin). 3. Structural Engineering Assessment: A structural engineer has determined that there are no structural issues with the crack in the concrete sidewall of bin 19 and that the sidewall has not moved and thus does not require any repair involving attempting to move the walls to close the crack. 4. Technical Requirements: USMARC requires a bid for repair of the concrete bin wall crack at the northwest corner of bin 19 at the USMARC feedmill. It is expected that the repair will involve the following: a. Removal of existing angle, and other materials used previously to repair this area of bin 19 so as to permit new repair to be done. b. The use of an epoxy type product, or equal to fill the crack and fill all spalling concrete on the "wing" (see photographs) from the upper roof of the feedmill to the lower roof which is approximately 25'. The intent is to cover all exposed rebar and areas of concrete fallen away from the original shape of the concrete "wing" in addition to filling the crack in which corn is spilling out. c. Installation of 4" x 4" x 1/4 " (min. thickness) continuous angle iron for the bin sidewall corner crack (approximately 16.5' of the 25'0) on the inside and outside of the corner and 4" x 1/4 " (min. thickness) continuous flat steel on the side of the protruding concrete wing. Bolts are to go through the concrete and the inside and outside angle and the flat steel on the wing and secured with flat washers, lock washers, and nuts. d. Caulking around all edges of the angle and flat steel on the outside to make the bin weathertight. Caulk shall be a good quality silicon caulk for concrete and steel applications. e. Painting of concrete and steel repaired areas with two coats of Sherwin-Williams, or equal, paint with specific paint as recommended by manufacturer. Color shall match existing. f. All OSHA confined space regulations shall be followed when working inside of the bin. Contractor shall need to provide all of their own PPE (rigging, safety harness, etc.) equipment and tools for this work. 5. Site Visit: It is highly recommended that contractors visit the site prior to submitting a quote to take measurements and to verify the requirements and procedures necessary to do the work. 6. Previous experience working in the USMARC feedmill is crucial to this project and will be highly considered when awarding this project. Grain dust is quite combustible and the proper precautions need to be taken for this type of environment. 7. Scheduling Process: USMARC will work with contractor to arrange for shut-down when the project is performed. A.
