Truck Observation Deck

Thank you to all the contestants for the thoughtfulness and energy that you put into your designs. Given the high quality of submissions and quick turn-around on clarifications and update, I added a second place prize.

Congratulations to the first and second place winners! Your designs were the best at meeting my needs, in terms of complying with the specification, functionality, constructability, and quick turnaround on comments/clarifications. I would also like to recognize Ahmad-Ali, as his submission was the best at optimizing the design in a way that best transmitted the loads from the TOD into the frame of the truck. I will keep many of you in mind if I do another contest or want to direct hire for projects. Many thanks

Contestants, I really appreciate the quality of the submissions and the responsiveness to my questions and clarifications.

Lexs, thank you for your competitive submission. I have provided detailed clarifications to your submission.

mattk3 Thanks for clarify. #increaseprize

Draftcad3D, what you say maybe true in some instances about subcontracting but not in this instance. This is for the personal use of my family and me and this is the first time that I have ever asked for a crowd sourced project. Part of the logic in my contest pricing is that 1) I have never asked for a crowd sourced project and 2) I was trying to purchase the used TOD shown in the truck bed photos for $800 but someone bought it before I could. So after this contest is over, I will be having this fabricated at a cost well above what I missed out in buying used + the cost of this contest. There is a possibility that the fabrication cost may exceed my budget such that I do not have this made, but regardless, i will be paying the winner of the contest, as I greatly appreciate the time and energy that professionals are putting into this. 3) I am also a degreed mechanical engineer (although I’ve not done detailed engineering in or cad/modeling in 18 years) who appreciates the importance of professionals. For reference, I will upload the photo of the TOD that was for sale. I hope this added context helps.

Message for all professionals who will participate in this project
Know that when working on projects like this you draw a line well below the values that are generally charged.
On the other hand, the owners of the contest can deny the prize, they are within their rights.
Generally those who set such a low price are subcontracting. They are not the end customers.
Always go to the profile and see how much they report.
Let&;s all take care of our profession.

Hi Wajih, thank you for the competitive entry. I have provided detailed clarifications to your submission.

Hi JovanS, thank you for your message. I have received atleast one competitive submission with 3D models and 2D fab drawings. I am looking forwarded to receiving additional competitive submissions from anyone that can deliver to the stated requirements, including the current pricing and deadline.

Hi Grey-ig, thank you for your interest in working on the project. I look forward to your submission and I will respond as quickly as possible to any requests.

Hello, I agree with @draftcad3D. As yui stated. 3D model is required and detailed 2D drawings. Probably 2D drawing for your project would take longer than 3D, and I give my opinion that the current budget is not enough for this project. If you don&;t plan to increase it, good luck with the receiving projects :)

Hi, Matt! I&;m interested in working on this project and have already began working on it.

@mattk3 Thanks for answering. I have 25 years of experience in technical & mfg drawing.
The 3D model can certainly take 3 to 4 hours.
On the other hand, 2D drawings with all the information and study require at least 10 to 15 hours plus 2 hours of revisions. Approximately 20 hours.
And obviously you don&;t know FUSION.
I wish you the best of luck and don&;t underestimate the professionals who are in this network.
Greetings

Ok to use a random value below 1/8”.

Hi Wajih, suggest using expanded metal. http://www.brown-campbell.com/products/category?page=expanded-metal&path=expanded-metal-grating

Hi, I stated working on this and it seems like you haven&;t specified the thickness of the flooring. Would it be ok if I gave it a random value for now?
