Purpose and Scope of Work



The 419th CSB, in coordination with the 19th Engineer Battalion, is seeking certified commercial vendors capable of providing heavy mobile crane rental, certified operator, and rigging services.

B. Non-Standard / Critical Schedule Constraints:



Due to the highly synchronized arrival schedule of the commercial line-haul carriers, the contractor must be available to perform on a split-week schedule across a 10-day window.

Contractor must be prepared to execute opeations outside of originally planned dates due to changing timelines outside of unit control.
