Alaska Shelters - Tyndall AFB

Amendment 0001 

This notice is being amended to add a Salient Characteristics and updating the RFQ evaluation criteria and CLIN structure. 

Verbiage amendment within the RFQ was to include this verbiage:

2.2. BEAR Shelters.

2.2.1. Small Shelter System (SSS). The small shelter system (Figure 2.2.) is an all-purpose tent-type shelter used for billeting, work areas, latrines and showers, storage, etc. When fully erected, this shelter measures 32.5 feet long by 20 feet 22 wide by 10 feet high (650 sq ft). The SSS is equipped to accept 120/208 volts alternating current (VAC), 60-cycle, single-phase power. The SSS is designated as the replacement for the TEMPER tent through attrition. Compared to the TEMPER tent, it is slightly lighter, tighter, and more vector proof. It also requires less day-to-day maintenance when erected, and its fabric is easier to repair. Six people can safely assemble the SSS in about 1.5 hours (nine labor hours). If required, multiple buildings can be interconnected. Environmental limitations of the SSS are listed in Table 2.1. See T.O. 35E5-6-11, Alaska Small Shelter System (AKSSS), and AFH 10-222, Volume 6, for siting and erection procedures.
