1. Description of Tasks

1.1.1 Pier - Upper Ring Steel Structure

This Statement of Work also covers Steel Templates for location of the anchoring bolts of the Mechanical Jacks which support the Telescope Azimuth Ring. Another set of temporary Templates position eight Foundation Plates which provide jacking points during assembly of the Telescope Azimuth Frame. These Templates assure the proper geometry during the final concrete pours at the top of the Telescope Pier.

The Supply includes: the preparation of shop drawings, the fabrication, the machining, the pre-assembly and testing of the steel structure of the Pier - Upper Ring Steel Structure and the fabrication of the Templates which position the anchoring bolts for the Telescope Azimuth Ring, and fabrication of a number of plates and spacers.

The Telescope Azimuth Ring (not part of this Supply) is being manufactured by Ansaldo Energia in Milan, Italy. The telescope will be pre-erected in Milan, but the Pier - Upper Ring Steel will only be used during the actual erection of the Telescope on Mt. Graham.

1.1.2 Technical Specifications

The Pier - Upper Ring Steel and the Templates for the fixation of the Telescope Azimuth Ring are the location where the construction of the Large Binocular Telescope transitions from English to metric dimensions. The Telescope Pier has been constructed with principally English dimensions, while the Telescope structure is being constructed with metric dimensions. This is the transition that leads to the drawings below having mainly metric dimensions while the hardware and steel sections are specified to be American. Either English or metric dimensions are acceptable for this Supply as long as suitable interface drawings exist to assure mating with the adjacent parts of the Telescope and Pier.

1.1.3 Delivery Date

The proposal should include a time line of the Supply activities.
