Purpose and Scope of Work

The 419th CSB, in coordination with the 46th Engineer Battalion, is seeking certified commercial vendors capable of providing heavy mobile crane rental, certified operator, and rigging services.

The requirement is in support of a critical military equipment restationing and download operation of approximately 116 pieces of heavy tactical engineer assets (e.g., bridge structures, shipping containers, and heavy industrial blades) arriving via commercial line-haul.

A. Core Technical Requirements:

• 
  

  Equipment: One (1) certified hydraulic mobile crane with a minimum lifting capacity of 225 Tons (110,000 lbs minimum lift limit).

•

• 
  

  Daily Support Hours: 0830 to 1700 Daily (Standard 8-hour operational days).

  
  


•
