Quick Summary
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Research and Development Center (ERDC), Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (GSL) intends to issue a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) sole source award to Dynatest US Inc. for the modernization of ERDC's existing Heavy Vehicle Simulators (HVS) at their Vicksburg, MS facility. This special notice indicates that Dynatest is the only known manufacturer and assembler of these critical testing devices.
Scope of Work
The HVS units are essential for applying accelerated test traffic to pavement models, supporting the development of enhanced pavement design and evaluation techniques for military airfields and pavements. Modernization is crucial to prevent an inability to apply critical test traffic, which would limit advancements in military pavement/railroad design and evaluation, directly impacting the military's mission.
