Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document, titled "HIF Specification WORKMANSHIP," establishes the acceptable workmanship criteria for equipment intended for use by the U.S. Geological Survey, Water Resources Division. It defines workmanship requirements not normally covered in subsidiary specifications or drawings, and is not intended to supersede contract provisions. In case of conflict, the contract or applicable specification/drawing takes precedence.

• General Workmanship: Covers requirements for soldering, marking, wiring, welding, brazing, plating, finishes, machine operations, screw assemblies, and freedom from burrs and damage.
• Surface Defects: Finished surfaces must be free from dents, scratches, nicks, cracks, splits, perforations, pits, porosity, or other surface defects.
• Burrs: No part shall have burrs or nonfunctional sharp edges that could interfere with assembly, function, or cause injury.
• Corrosion: Parts must be free from rust, oxidation, scales, or other corrosion products.
• Extraneous Materials: Parts must be free from dirt, grease, oil, chips, or other foreign matter.
• Markings: All specified markings must be neat and sharply defined; no unspecified markings are allowed.
• Mounting of Parts: Parts and hardware must be assembled and secured as specified, with values and part numbers visible where practicable. Terminal designations should be visible for repair. Damaged parts are unacceptable.
• Mounted Hardware Installation: Hardware installation must avoid damaging the hardware or mounting surface. Touch-ups must match the original finish.
• Cleaning: Equipment must be cleaned of smudges, solder, chips, mold release agents, and other foreign material. Corrosive material must be removed. Cleaning should occur before assembly where possible. Solvents must be compatible with materials. Moving parts should be relubricated after cleaning.
• Threaded Parts: Screws, nuts, and bolts must be free of cross-threading, mutilation, or hazardous burrs. Fasteners must be tight, with no relative movement between attached parts.
• Riveting: Riveting must be performed carefully to ensure tight rivets with heads seated against the bearing surface.
• Gear Assemblies: Must be aligned, meshed, and operable without interference, tight spots, loose spots, or excessive backlash.
• Bearing Assemblies: Must be free of rust, discoloration, and imperfections on ground, honed, or lapped surfaces. Contacting surfaces must be free of tool marks, gouges, nicks, or other defects.
• Wiring: Insulated wire must be formed into cables or ducted, protected from rough surfaces and sharp edges. Wire dress should not cause improper operation or damage. Lacing must be neat and firm. Cabling/harnesses must be anchored, with strain relief for external cabling. Insulation must be free of burns, abrasion, or pinch marks. Splicing is limited. Clearances must prevent deterioration from heat. Shielding must be secured to prevent contact with exposed parts.
• Welding and Brazing: Must be free of defects like cracks, porosity, undercuts, voids, gaps, or burn-through. Fillets must be uniform. Misalignment or warpage must be within tolerances. Adjacent parts must not be damaged.
• Ropes and Cables: Must be free from braiding defects like knots, kinks, and snags. Cloth-jacketed cables must be kept clean and free of contaminants.

This specification outlines the quality and finish standards expected for equipment. Bidders must ensure their proposed equipment and manufacturing processes comply with these workmanship criteria to meet contract requirements. Failure to adhere to these standards could result in non-compliance or rejection of equipment.
