    2. Industry Day Comparison Survey_.pdf
    The "Industry Practice Comparison Survey (INDUSTRY DAY Survey)" by USACE aims to gather feedback on how its construction and transformer repair requirements compare to commercial practices. The survey asks contractors to assess whether USACE's specifications for various tasks—such as component disassembly, PE-stamped lifting calculations, contractor testing, repair location planning, and installation plans—are below, at, or exceed typical commercial project standards. It also probes whether these requirements clearly explain project intent, minimize risk, or if they lead to contractor interpretation issues and excessive coordination. Additionally, the survey seeks to identify high-risk areas not adequately addressed in USACE specifications and asks for an overall assessment of USACE's documentation, approval, testing, and oversight. The feedback, due by December 12th, 2025, will be used for market research and commercial item determination, with all responses kept confidential.
    2. Industry Practice Comparison Survey.pdf
    The document is an Industry Practice Comparison Survey designed for market research and commercial item determination by the USACE Army. It asks companies providing industrial crane/heavy equipment services to compare government project requirements with their typical commercial practices. The survey covers eleven specific requirements, including detailed plans for component disassembly, removal, transportation, and installation; PE stamped lifting calculations and license documentation; customer approval checkpoints; comprehensive load testing protocols with iterative testing; 30-day advance notice for installation; and customer access rights to contractor storage facilities. For each requirement, respondents indicate whether it is below, at, or exceeds commercial practice. The survey also includes an overall assessment of the entire package of requirements and a section for additional comments. Responses are due by December 12th, 2025, and will be kept confidential, not affecting eligibility for future opportunities.
