IFB - CNC Diamond Wire Saw System

Weber State University is seeking bids for a CNC‑programmable diamond‑wire saw system capable of precision cutting of graphite and similar materials. The system must support both external contour cutting and internal feature generation, include vertical wire orientation, continuous‑loop diamond wire with field splicing, flood‑coolant recirculation, and CNC control with DXF import capability. Technical requirements cover a workpiece capacity of 300 mm³, ±30° taper capability, machine envelope of roughly 2.6 m × 2.2 m × 1.6 m, three‑phase 3.5 kW power, and full vendor responsibilities for manufacturing lead time, shipping, installation, commissioning, training, maintenance, and spare parts. Delivery is to the MARS facility in Clearfield, UT, with the contract potentially structured either as a one‑time purchase with a 120‑day additional‑order option or a five‑year multi‑year agreement. The award will go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. • Provide a complete CNC diamond‑wire saw system meeting detailed mechanical, electrical, and software specifications. • Supply installation, commissioning, operator training, maintenance documentation, and spare‑parts list. • Offer warranty coverage (minimum one year) and respond to any required product‑sample evaluations.
