This is a non-personnel services contract for maintenance and repair of the Blowing Dust system. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government. Dugway Proving Ground (DPG) acquired a blowing dust chamber approximately 4 years ago. This chamber was custom designed and built to fit into Building 3244. The designs of previous prototype models had to be adjusted for lower ceiling heights required for this install making this a one of a kind installation. The chamber has a variable wind speed and both temperature and humidity controls for dehumidification. The wind velocity is from 1.5ms to 8.9ms. There are over 90 filters to contain the dust while in operation. These filters have a recommended change out time limit of 3 years which we have now exceeded, but our rate of testing was very low for the first year. We are currently due for service.
