Notice of Intent - Shaker Table

Utah Valley University intends to purchase an APS 113 ELECTRO‑SEIS shaker for its Mechanical‑Engineering Vibrations Laboratory. The equipment will enable large‑displacement, low‑frequency excitation for instructional demonstrations and research on forced vibrations, resonance, structural dynamics, and seismic‑range response. The university plans a sole‑source award to APS Dynamics but invites competitors to submit evidence of alternative sources by the deadline. • Equipment: APS 113 Electro‑Seis shaker (up to 6 inches stroke, high force, large‑load capability). • Intended use: teaching labs and vibration‑focused research, requiring low‑frequency, high‑stroke performance. • Sole‑source justification: limited market; alternatives lack required force/stroke or exceed budget. • Deadline to contest: 29 June 2026 15:30 MDT (sealed‑until). • Contact: John Richards, Procurement Services, Utah Valley University.
