Camera System Package & Installation

Description: This is a Sources Sought notice; issued for planning purposes only; and no award shall be made from this posting. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), St. Paul District is seeking interested sources capable of providing all labor, material, and equipment necessary to meet the requirements for the Camera System Package on the Manitowoc 14000 Crawler Crane project.

The current state of the Manitowoc 14000 Crane is that it was originally built and delivered new without the optional Camera & Monitor System included in the procurement contract. It has since become accepted industry wide that crane operations can be conducted in a safer manner if camera systems are installed to display views of blind spots and major crane hoisting components.

The Camera and Monitor System includes four (4) cameras consisting of a load view zoom camera mounted on the cranes boom tip, a fixed camera viewing the winch area, a fixed camera viewing the boom drum, a fixed camera viewing the rear of super structure for monitoring area behind the crane. The camera system shall be hardwired for improved reliability. It shall include one (1) 12” viewing monitor mounted in the operator’s cab.

The scope of work includes the supply of all necessary camera system components as outlined and the installation of the entire associated system on the Manitowoc 14000 Crane. All camera system components shall be specified and installed by the contactor to work with the Manitowoc 14000 crane’s 24V DC electrical power system. The installation shall include all necessary conduit, mounts, cable, cable connections, hardware, and junction boxes.
