Enclosure 2

Statement of Work (SOW)

Project: GAETA, N31 Fenders

GENERAL INFORMATION

1.0 Scope: The contractor shall procure and deliver three (3) new, foam-filled marine fenders.

These fenders are intended for use at the NATO pier, located on an Italian Navy base, to support the safe mooring, harboring, and refueling of United States Navy (USN) and allied naval vessels. This procurement action is to replace the current fenders which are in poor material condition. The contractor's responsibility is limited to the purchase and delivery of the specified items. Installation will be performed by government personnel and is not within the scope of this requirement.

2.0 Background: The current foam-filled fenders on the NATO pier fingers were purchased in

2015. Over the last decade, the fenders have worked well, but now show heavy signs of wear and tear, to include delaminating of the elastomer skins and deformation of the fender cylinder shape. To prevent any damage to harbor assets or the NATO pier, replacement of the fenders is needed.
