UNIT: EACH WORKMANSHIP Graveliners shall be free from defects which detract from its appearance or impair its serviceability. PRODUCTION SPECIFICATION The following must be included as part of the bid: Type of material or materials Material specifications Methods of construction Testing procedures and findings Performance. Graveliners furnished will be designed for a maximum burial depth of 2.13 m (84 in) from the bottom of the liner, with minimum soil cover of 46 cm (18 in), be capable of structurally withstanding passage of an axle load of 5.0 metric tons (11,000 Ibs.) after burial and provide for ease of installation. Liners will have a sufficient weight bearing surface area to prevent sinkage. This area may vary depending upon soil conditions, but in all cases, will be capable of passing the functional test specified in paragraphs entitled \"Functional tests\" in order to perform this function in place after installation. The ongoing static loads in this environment include the weight of the backfill, changes in the water table, and pressures from the freeze thaw cycle where applicable. In addition, the graveliner shall be designed to withstand the dynamic, differential and impact loads and stresses which are exerted upon a unit during the interment process. Such loads and stresses include compaction of the (backfill) soil, excavation of adjoining gravesite, as well as the pressures and forces exerted by normal cemetery excavation, compaction and maintenance equipment. Graveliner designs shall be such as to prevent any potential sinkage due to chiseling (The sinkage process caused because of insufficient surface area contact with the bottom of the grave.) and fatigue creep (The long run sagging process of the weight bearing surface area). Design and Construction. Graveliners will meet the performance requirements. The combination of the design shape, design thickness, structure and material shall be capable of supporting the required 2.27 metric tons (5,000 Ibs.) center load pressure test and the axle load test of 5.0 metric tons (11,000 Ibs.), plus the superimposed earth load. Both the exterior dimensions and the weight of the graveliner shall be kept to a minimum in accordance with the normal internal dimension standards specified above in Paragraph labeled \"Salient characteristics\" and the required structural strength specified above. Design contours and shapes will be such as to eliminate any possible back-fill voids, settling, sinking, floating or raising of the graveliner once interred. The graveliners and parts thereof will have provisions to facilitate both the ease of installation and removal of the unit and its component parts. All lifting apparatus must be adequately anchored in the unit to sufficiently withstand the stresses of lifting and placing the unit. Graveliners will have knockout holes to permit drainage. Inscription. The date of manufacture will be permanently recorded on the graveliner so that the contractor can identify his product according to the date of production. (cont d.) PRICING Pricing is all-inclusive, to include fabrication, transportation, delivery, inspection, and any corrective work. Installation will NOT be included in the price. Installation will be done by cemetery employees. QUALITY CONTROL AND ASSURANCE PROVISIONS. Responsibility for Inspection. Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the contractor shall be responsible for the performance of all inspection requirements as specified herein. Except as otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the contractor may use its own facilities suitable for the performance of the inspection requirements specified herein, with prior approval of the Cemetery Director. The Government reserves the right to perform any of the inspections set forth in the specification where such inspections are deemed necessary to assure that supplies and services conform to prescribed requirements. Records. Records of examinations and tests performed by or for the contractor shall be maintained by the contractor and made available to the Government, upon the Government's request, at any time, or from time to time, during the performance of the contract and for a period of three years after delivery of the supplies to which such records relate. Inspection. Inspection, as used herein, is defined as both examination (such as visual or auditory investigation without the use of special laboratory appliances or procedures) and testing (determination by technical means of physical and chemical properties) of the item. Preproduction Sample. When specified a preproduction sample will be required and will be examined and tested in accordance with this specification. The preproduction sample will be representative of the production article. However, the requirements for furnishing a preproduction sample may be waived as to a bidder if: a. The bidder states in the bid that the product offered is the same as a product previously furnished to the procuring activity under a prior contract, and the bidder identifies the contract. b. The contracting officer determines that such product meets the requirements of the specification. Tests. Tests shall be conducted to determine compliance with these commercial item description requirements. Where feasible, the same sample shall be used for the determination of two or more test characteristics. Testing of Components. Upon request, the supplier will furnish a certification of compliance, issued by an independent testing laboratory or an approved testing program. This would include an analysis for all characteristics of material specified and applicable referenced specifications. The Government reserves the right to verify the correctness of such certificates of compliance and analysis. Approved grave liners are subject to both random compliance and complete re-testing. The graveliners will conform to the following American Society for Testing and Materials (cont d.) (ASTM) Standards. ASTM C 33 - Standard Specifications for Concrete Aggregate ASTM C 39 - Test Method for Compressive Strength of Cylindrical Concrete Specimens ASTM C 40 - Standard Test Method for Organic Impurities in Fine Aggregates for Cement ASTM C 94 - Standard Specification for Ready-Mixed Concrete ASTM C 150 - Standard Specification for Portland ASTM C 173 - Standard Test Method for Air Content of Freshly Mixed Concrete by the Volumetric Method ASTM C 231 - Standard Test Method for Air Content of Freshly Mixed Concrete by the Pressure Method ASTM C 260 - Standard Specification for Air-Entraining Admixtures for Concrete ASTM C 330 - Standard Specification for lightweight Aggregates for Structural Concrete ASTM C 494 - Standard Specification for Chemical Admixtures for Concrete Sampling for Examination. Sampling for examination shall be conducted in accordance with MIL-STD-1 05, with an AQL of 1.0 (percent defective) and an inspection level of S-1. Examination of Furnished Product. Graveliners will be examined for the defects listed below. Whenever a deviation to specified requirements is noted, correction will be made. Failure to make corrections will be cause for rejection: Size/dimensions not as specified. Materials not as specified. Production date not inscribed or otherwise permanently recorded. Drainage holes not provided. Surface contains foreign inclusions, spalling, holes, cracks, large voids, or other evidence of poor manufacture. Provisions to facilitate installation and removal not provided. Functional Test. Upon request, a functional load test will be made at the contractor's expense under the observation of the contracting officer, or his/her representative, to insure the graveliner, as furnished, will be capable of supporting load weight stated in paragraph entitled \"Design and construction\". The functional test will consist of two loading conditions: (a) Unconfined loading. (Center Load Pressure Test) Place base on 10.16 cm (4 in) x 10.16 cm (4 in), spaced approximately 0.305 m (12 in), from each end of the test product. Place cover on base. The producer may choose to use a temporary gasket material in the sealant (tongue and groove) area of a graveliner in place of the permanent sealant. Cushion material should be used to assure that a 0.093 sq. m (1 sq ft); bearing plate will uniformly load the test unit. Special care should be taken for units with arch-shaped tops or carapaces. A hydraulic ram will be pressurized until the ram engages the bearing place and will be set at a preload pressure of 226.8 kg (500 lb.) for a minimum of one minute. The inspector will add additional pressure to the test unit in 2,268 kg (5,000 lb.) increments. This pressure will be added gradually, taking at least thirty (30) seconds to (cont d.) add each additional 226.8 kg (500 lb.) load. Once the 226.8 kg (500 lb.) increment has been added, the test unit should be allowed a minimum of one minute at rest prior to the next load increase. This procedure should be repeated until the full 2,268 kg (5,000 lb.) load has been properly applied. The concrete graveliner must withstand the 2,268 kg (5,000 lb.) of static load on the 0.93 m (36 in), section at the critical load area for a minimum of five (5) minutes without failure. (b) Confined loading. The liner shall be placed on a flat surface below ground and covered with a granular soil material. The soil will be compacted thoroughly around and on top of the liner to a thickness of 46 cm (18 in). A wheeled tractor or truck with an axle load of 5.0 metric tons (11,000 Ibs.) will then be passed over the covered liner for a minimum of twenty (20) times in repetition. The liner must not show any signs of material overstress or cracking. Upon completion of Confined loading test the adjacent \"gravesite\" will then be excavated to a maximum depth of 2.13 m (84 in), exposing the longitudinal side of the tested unit for a period of no less than twenty-four (24) hours. The unit must not exhibit any signs of potential material fatigue, creep, chiseling, excessive deflection, scratching or infringement of the adjacent gravesite. The contracting officer or his/her designated representative at any time may make unannounced inspections of the contractor's plant. Contractor Certification. The contractor shall certify that the product offered meets the salient characteristics of this description and conforms to the producer's own drawings, specification, standards, and quality assurance practices. The Government reserves the right to require proof of such conformance prior to first delivery and thereafter as may be otherwise provided for under the provisions of the contract.
