Technical requirements: Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) has at Airbase Karup an aircraft mock-up fire trainer (hereafter Mock-up) for training fire fighters from The Royal Danish Air Force. The mock-up has been in operation since 2005 and is now in the need for a refurbishment. The mock-up is a steel fuselage with dimensions 30 m in length and 3 m in diameter. The general structure of the fuselage remains in a sound condition; however there are signs of corrosion. The mock-up is for fire extinction training in different scenarios. The mock-up has fire scenarios in the 3 engines on the wings, on the 2 landing wheels, on the nose wheel, on the tail APU and in several grates in the ground next to the fuselage. These scenarios can be used one at the time or in combination, with variable intensity. Water is used for cooling, when the fires scenarios are burning. The fuselage has an opening (window) for training cold cuts. The inside of the fuselage is divided into 4 sections; a cockpit, a passenger cabin complete with toilet and overhead compartment, a tilted passenger cabin area and a cargo hull. There are currently only smoke generators and no fire scenarios inside the fuselage. DALO wishes to perform a refurbishment of the mock-up. DALO’s budget for this project is 5 814 000 DKK. The amount is fixed. The tender was conducted as a inverse tendering. The contract was awarded to the tender which offered the most operational improvement of the mock-up.
