The Astronomy Technology Research Group at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory Penticton, BC has developed a design and manufacturing process for construction of large (10-20 m) diameter parabolic reflectors for radio telescopes. The Composite Application for Radio Telescopes (CART) project is part of NRC's contribution to the international Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project.
The Single-piece Rim-supported Composite (SRC) reflector technology developed by NRC and demonstrated in the DVA1 dish structure has been selected as the baseline design solution for the SKA project dishes contingent on the demonstration of the ability to fabricate a reflector with higher surface accuracy. This must be demonstrated within a 4 month time period in order to meet the SKA project schedule. If the fabrication of a reflector at DRAO is successful, then a second reflector would need to be erected in South Africa in early 2016. A temporary building that can be erected in a short time on the DRAO site and can be disassembled and possibly relocated to the South African site is required.
This work consists of the lease, delivery and assembly of a portable building structure to the DRAO site in Penticton. The initial period is estimated to be for four months, with the possibility of extending.
The work also consists of the complete initial installation of the structure at the DRAO site in Penticton, BC, including training of NRC staff on the assembly and disassembly process. The Project Authority will also have the option to request the contractor to conduct the complete disassembly at the DRAO site in Penticton.
The Scope of any additional work, pending the outcome of the initial project, will be subject to the issuance of a Task Authorization(s), and may include the following:
1. shipping of the same portable structure or one meeting the same requirements to/from South Africa; 2. delivery and installation in South Africa (specific location to be determined); 3. the ongoing lease in Canada and/or South Africa; and 4. any repair and maintenance required.
The requirement includes an option to purchase the portable structure outright at any time during the contract period.
