Requirement The Department of National Defence has a requirement for Treadmill fitness equipment at 19 Wing Comox in Lazo BC in accordance with the Request for Proposal document. The bidders must meet all the mandatory requirements listed in Appendix A-1 of the Request for Proposal and have all of the PROPOSED OPTIONS identified individually.
Purpose The treadmills are required for military personnel to maintain a high level of fitness and for the Wing fitness centre to remain current with new equipment technology. Updated equipment technology is required to improve the efficiency of training and reduce the risk of injuries.
Background In order to support the new Health and Physical Fitness Strategy, there is an operational requirement to update and increase the availability of equipment at the Wing fitness centre. The increase of fitness centre users demands a higher number of available fitness equipment which cannot be met with existing equipment. Increased wear on treadmills is also caused by SAR and Firefighter testing which requires the user to wear their equipment and significantly increases the weight bearing required.
Terminology SAR - Search and Rescue
SAR Tech - Search and Rescue Technician
Constraints The equipment is expected to include 5 years warranty on the running surface, and an expected lifespan of 240 000 to 320 000 km. A weight bearing capability up to 400 lbs while running is required to allow testing of SAR and Firefighter and their gear.
Technical Requirements An example of the mandatory specifications is provided below. Refer to the Request for Proposal for a complete list of the mandatory minimum performance specifications.
Upgraded inclination must be up to 25 degree and Capable of speed up to 15 mph for SAR testing. Must eliminate or reduce the friction and drag that a runner places on a treadmill. Must perform 320,000 km before running surface requires significant maintenance such as potential replacement.The manufacturer must demonstrate that technology has been incorporated into reducing the absorption impact from the running surface on their treadmills. The surface will reduce harmful shock on the connective tissue, joints and muscles on the human body without being too soft to change proper biomechanics in the running techniques. The treadmill must be fitted with a running surface comprised of shock absorbing slats scientifically proven to reduce harmful shock to joints, muscles and connective tissue. A weight bearing capability up to 400 lbs is required to allow testing of SAR and Firefighter and their gear.
The Bidder must submit supporting documentation demonstrating that the PROPOSED MAKE AND MODEL meets the minimum requirements as listed in the Request for Proposal.
