HVS Mark VI Specifications

The following General Specifications shall apply to any newly manufactured and

delivered Dynatest/CSIR Mark VI Heavy Vehicle Simulator (HVS).

1. The Heavy Vehicle Simulator (HVS) shall consist of an automatic, accelerated

pavement loading device that can apply at least 26,000 passes bidirectionally or

13,000 passes unidirectionally of load carriage during a 24 hour period along a 6

meter test section centerline. The load carriage shall be capable of being mounted

with single or dual truck tires or a single aircraft tire.

2. Both bi- and unidirectional loading capability shall be possible.

3. The HVS shall be capable of achieving load levels between 30 and 100 kN (7 –

22.5 kips). Load levels of up to 200 kN (45 kips) shall be achievable with the

aircraft wheel and ballast options.

4. The maximum achievable wheel speed shall be 12.8 km/hr 3 km/hr (8 mph 2

mph). Optionally with the beam extension, the maximum wheel speed will be up to

20 km/h..

5. The HVS shall be capable of limited manually controlled operation for maintenance

or calibration purposes, or computer controlled automatic startup and controlled

operation under approximately constant speeds and approximately constant loads

over a minimum 6 linear meter (19.5 linear feet) test section.

6. Under normal operations, the HVS shall be capable of automatically shutting itself

down after the preprogrammed number of passes. However, the HVS shall be

stopped within one pass if a malfunction is indicated by activating one of four

safety toggle switches, or by hitting one of two “dead-man” cables located on either

side of the HVS along the full length of the test area.

7. All required computer hardware, software, and related materials to permit either

manual or automated control of the HVS shall be supplied by the Supplier. Manual

control means that a manual control pad can be used to move the test carriage

longitudinally and beam laterally after starting up the HVS using the control

computer.

8. The HVS shall be movable with a yard tractor or other suitable moving device over

a level area from one jacked position to another jacked position up to 30 meters

(100 feet) away within four hours.

9. In order to duplicate traffic wander or wheel distribution, the HVS shall be capable

of automatically indexing, or “tracking”, between passes from side to side for a

total C/L coverage of 0.9 meters (35.4 inches) in increments of 25 to 75 mm mm 6

mm (1" to 3"¼"). Typical application involves one wheel load pass per lateral

Page 4: Dynatest HVS Pricing Terms and Conditions

4

location, providing a stepwise normal distribution. It shall also be possible to

program any number of passes (greater than 0) at any lateral location, or a random

distribution specified by the user

10. The maximum noise level shall be approximately 90 dBA at a distance of 10 feet (3

meters) from the HVS.

11. The HVS shall be capable of operating in temperatures ranging from –15OC to

+40OC (5ºF to 105ºF), as long as an appropriate hydraulic oil type and viscosity is

used.

12. The HVS computer controller shall be located in an environmentally controlled

shelter provided by the client. It provides manual capability as well as complete

computer controlled operation from startup to shutdown. Applied test wheel loads

shall be continuously monitored by pressure transducers every 50 milliseconds, and

the average wheel load per pass is recorded in the data file. Tire pressure and tire

temperature shall be continuously monitored every 50 milliseconds and the average

value per pass shall be recorded by the control computer. It shall be possible to

access the raw data through the database. The controller shall automatically count

and record pass-distribution and test wheel velocity. All software needed for both

manual and automatic operations is included. If preset limits on the number of

passes, tire pressure and/or tire temperature and wheel velocity and load are

exceeded, the computer shall automatically stop the HVS.

13. Load control shall be achieved through a feedback loop which monitors hydraulic

pressure transducers. The load applied by the HVS as averaged over one pass of

the load wheel(s), shall always be within 2% of the target load entered into the

control computer.

14. The applied load shall be measured and recorded to within 2% for all load

applications, based on comparisons with external load cell measurements averaged

over each wheel pass.

15. The wheel load over the full test section length shall not vary by more than an

additional plus or minus 2% after passing over a 25 mm (1 inch) bump or drop, at

the specified test speed. The loading ram shall allow for a minimum of 100 mm (4

inch) vertical displacement to accommodate rut development without repositioning

the load beam height.

16. The HVS shall be fitted with dual 11R22-5 tires and wheels as standard test

equipment. All rims and tires shall meet industry standards, and they shall be

modified to accommodate the requisite pressure and temperature sensors. An

automatic tire pressure and temperature monitoring and alarm system shall be an

integral part of the HVS control system.

17. The HVS requires 3 phase 380 or 480 Volts 50 or 60 Hz power supply.

Prices assume that there are no liquidated damages, penalties, bid bonds, performance

bonds, or guarantees required by the customer in the contractual agreement. Prices also

do not include applicable customs duties, fees, tariffs, taxes, etc.

Estimated HVS Maintenance Costs

The design life of the HVS structure is 20 years and, in practice, is easily achieved by

strictly following the Dynatest/CSIR specified maintenance procedures. Additionally, all

rotating components (bearing/sprockets/etc.) used in the machine are designed with a

minimum service life of two years and most last well beyond that. Dynatest prefers not to

attempt a service life estimate for individual components as there are simply too many

variables (operating parameters, environmental conditions, etc.) from customer to

customer to make an accurate prediction. Rather, we suggest that the customer

establishes an annual maintenance budget to cover the cost of any part

repair/replacement.

The average maintenance cost for Our HVS customers worldwide is approximately as

follows:

Year Maintenance Budget

1 $10,000

2 $15,000

3 $20,000

Page 11: Dynatest HVS Pricing Terms and Conditions

11

4 $25,000

5-9 $30,000 Annually

10 $80,000 Hydraulic System Overhaul

11 $20,000

12 $25,000

13-19 $30,000 Annually

20 $350,000 Major System Overhaul

Total $905,000

Note: These costs do not include tools, cleaning equipment etcetera.

Depending on environmental conditions and general care of the

HVS, the customer should also allow for repainting after 5 to 10

years

Dynatest fully warrantees the HVS for 1 year (from date of acceptance) and offers an

extended warranty beyond that.

Dynatest currently oversees the operation of two HVS units that have been in service for

over 30 years. Additionally, there are several other HVS units between the ages of 10-15

years old also in good working order.

Payment Terms and Wire Instructions

The above Mark VI standard base unit price is based on the terms outlined below. The

Dynatest/CSIR HVS Mark VI is a proprietary, custom designed, high-ticket built-to-

order, long-delivery time research device which, at this time, is manufactured and

delivered from the USA by Dynatest Consulting, Inc., a small business, with limited

credit facilities combined with an unblemished, international manufacturing and support

history/record. Potential public procurers are requested to define/regard this

purchase as a construction project, not simply an equipment purchase. Standard

terms and conditions required for this device exclude reciprocal bank guarantees from the

manufacturer, and include provision of a substantial advance down payment, along with

the Purchase Order to initiate the order and manufacturing. Progress Payments, based

upon agreed upon manufacturing and shipping milestones may also be required to reduce

the substantial costs of money (credit). All non-major USA public Agency, and other

domestic and “international” (to USA) orders require a confirmed, documentary

irrevocable Letter of Credit (LC) for all funds not paid as cash advances and progress

payments, which is to be issued within thirty (30) days of manufacturing onset date by a

Bank acceptable to the Advising Bank designated by the manufacturer (the credit facility

designated will depend on circumstances pertinent to manufacturer’s credit facilities at

time of order). Again, progress payments based on accepted, negotiated terms, including

advance payments, have often been utilized for HVS purchases and can obviate the need

for large-sum Letters of Credit.

Non-progress payment purchases require receipt of a minimum 40% of total contract

order advanced payment, along with purchase order, to initiate the order. A reduced,

negotiated advanced payment is applicable to orders providing progress payments. For

non-progress payment orders, the remaining balance is paid through above-mentioned

LC. Payment terms of the LC shall be (assuming a 40% advanced payment): 50% of the

total order amount will be released upon shipment. When manufacturer is the shipper,

release terms for the 50% of total order payment will require only standard

documentation, i.e., commercial invoice, transportation bill, parts listing, insurance

certification, and manufacturer’s certificate of origin. The remaining 10% of total order

balance will be released to manufacturer upon presentation of solely the Purchaser-signed

"AOD" (Dynatest “Acceptance of Delivery" document: example available upon request).

Purchaser-caused payment delays are subject to a 1.5%/month annual percentage rate

additional interest penalty against any outstanding, due and payable balance. Any

additional required guarantees and/or liquidated damages requirements imposed by

purchaser may impact final quoted pricing Also, purchaser will agree to not unreasonably

delay the scheduling and completion of FAT/delivery for reasons beyond the control of

the manufacturer. Lastly, with regard to purchaser cancellation subsequent to onset of

manufacturing: purchaser shall agree to pay for all costs incurred by manufacturer up to

the agreed upon, purchaser initiated/manufacturer received cancellation date.

Manufacturing

The structural components of the HVS are manufactured near the Westland, Michigan

USA Dynatest office using subcontractors specialized in heavy fabrication. Westland is a

suburb of Detroit, which is well known as the center of US automotive manufacturing.

The close proximity of these subcontractors to our office enables Dynatest to maintain

daily supervision and communications with these subcontractors. Final assembly and

installation of electrical, electronics, and hydraulics subsystems is performed by Dynatest

personnel or under their direct supervision.

Project Schedule

Delivery time, measured from date of receipt of purchase order/advanced payment,

through manufacturing, testing, shipping, and on-site acceptance is typically 18 months,

but dependent on the manufacturing pipeline at time of final quotation (all such

quotations expire within 60 days unless otherwise indicated on quotation). Approximate

schedule is shown below.

Page 14: Dynatest HVS Pricing Terms and Conditions

14

Acceptance Testing

Factory Acceptance Test (FAT)

The purpose of the FAT is to ensure that the equipment is fully functional and that it

meets the unit’s physical and operational specifications prior to shipment. The FAT

typically requires several days to complete as some tests require the machine to run a

certain number of repetitions or to demonstrate reliability over a specified run time for

example, 24 hours. The FAT is conducted by Dynatest at the manufacturing site and is

witnessed by customer representatives. Labor, travel, and accommodation costs for the

customer’s representatives are the responsibility of the customer. Details regarding the

FAT test are typically included in the contract documents.

Site Acceptance Test (SAT)

The SAT is typically a repeat of the FAT test and is conducted at the delivery destination.

It is intended to ensure that the HVS is fully functional at delivery and has not

deteriorated and/or not been damaged during shipping. Travel and accommodation costs

for Dynatest personnel are included in the HVS base standard price.

Note: Details regarding the FAT and SAT test procedures themselves are typically

included in the contract documents, and can be obtained at any time upon request.

Shipping

It is encouraged, but not required that manufacturer be responsible for shipping. Some

terms and conditions may change if shipping is to be the responsibility of the client.

Delivery

Dynatest personnel will travel to the point of delivery to prepare the HVS for the SAT, as

well as conduct the SAT and basic operator training at the time of the SAT. Dynatest is

responsible for labor, travel, and accommodation expenses for Dynatest personnel only

during the delivery period.

Warranty

The following Standard Warranty Provisions shall apply to any newly manufactured and

Shipping Terms

Incoterms or international commercial terms are a series of international sales terms

widely used throughout the world. They are used to divide transaction costs and

responsibilities between buyer and seller and reflect state-of-the-art transportation

practices. They closely correspond to the U.N. Convention on Contracts for the

International Sale of Goods.

Group E - Departure:

o EXW. Ex Works (named place): the seller makes the goods available at

his premises.

Group F - Main Carriage Unpaid:

o FCA. Free Carrier (named place): the seller hands over the goods, cleared

for export, into the custody of the first carrier (named by the buyer) at the

named place. This term is suitable for all modes of transport, including

carriage by air, rail, road, and containerised / multi-modal transport.

o FAS. Free Alongside Ship (named loading port): free Alongside Ship: the

seller must place the goods alongside the ship at the named port. The seller

must clear the goods for export; this changed in the 2000 version of the

Incoterms. Suitable for maritime transport only.

o FOB. Free On Board (named loading port): the classic maritime trade

term, Free On Board: seller must load the goods on board the ship

nominated by the buyer, cost and risk being divided at ship's rail. The

seller must clear the goods for export. Maritime transport only.

Group C - Main Carriage Paid:

o CFR. Cost and Freight (named destination port): seller must pay the costs

and freight to bring the goods to the port of destination. However, risk is

transferred to the buyer once the goods have crossed the ship's rail.

Maritime transport only.

o CIF. Cost, Insurance and Freight (named destination port): exactly the

same as CFR except that the seller must in addition procure and pay for

insurance for the buyer. Maritime transport only.

o CPT. Carriage Paid To (named place of destination): the

general/containerised/multimodal equivalent of CFR. The seller pays for

carriage to the named point of destination, but risk passes when the goods

are handed over to the first carrier.

o CIP. Carriage and Insurance Paid to (named place of destination): the

containerised transport/multimodal equivalent of CIF. Seller pays for

carriage and insurance to the named destination point, but risk passes

when the goods are handed over to the first carrier.

o CTO. Container Terminal Order.

Group D - Arrival:

o DAF. Delivered At Frontier (named place): It can be used when the goods

are transported by rail and road. The seller pays for transportation to the

named place of delivery at the frontier. The buyer arranges for customs

clearance and pays for transportation from the frontier to his factory. The

passing of risk occurs at the frontier.

o DES. Delivered Ex Ship (named port):Where goods are delivered ex ship,

the passing of risk does not occur until the ship has arrived at the named

port of destination and the goods made available for unloading to the

buyer. The seller pays the same freight and insurance costs as he would

under a CIF arrangement. Unlike CFR and CIF terms, the seller has agreed

to bear not just cost, but also Risk and Title up to the arrival of the vessel

at the named port. Costs for unloading the goods and any duties, taxes,

Page 21: Dynatest HVS Pricing Terms and Conditions

21

etc… are for the Buyer. A commonly used term in shipping bulk

commodities, such as coal, grain, dry chemicals - - - and where the seller

either owns or has chartered, their own vessel.

o DEQ. Delivered Ex Quay (named port): It means the same as DES, but

the passing of risk does not occur until the goods have been unloaded at

the port of destination.

o DDU. Delivered Duty Unpaid (named destination place): It means that the

seller delivers the goods to the buyer to the named place of destination in

the contract of sale. The goods are not cleared for import or unloaded from

any form of transport at the place of destination. The buyer is responsible

for the costs and risks for the unloading, duty and any subsequent delivery

beyond the place of destination. However, if the buyer wishes the seller to

bear cost and risks associated with the import clearance, duty, unloading

and subsequent delivery beyond the place of destination, then this all

needs to be explicitly agreed upon in the contract of sale.

o DDP. Delivered Duty Paid (named destination place): It means that the

seller pays for all transportation costs and bears all risk until the goods

have been delivered and pays the duty. Also used interchangeably with the

term "Free Domicile"

Seller's payment responsibility

For a given term, "Yes" indicates that the seller has the responsibility to provide the

service included in the price. "No" indicates it is the buyer's responsibility. If insurance is

not included in the term (for example, CFR) then insurance for transport is the

responsibility of the buyer.
