1. QUESTION: Item 10115 Tank Preservation. Can you provide a list of tanks that are to be preserved?

ANSWER: Tanks subject to paint touch-up are listed in item #10103, section 6.5, which includes tank details and a diagram identifying the tank locations.

QUESTION: Item 10101 ROUTINE DRYDOCKING - 1)Could NOAA provide a specific list of the services required during drydocking (para 4.3, “service lines shall be provided and hooked up” 2).There is no specific reference to hook-up and disconnect of temporary services while pier side, before and after drydocking. What does NOAA intend?

ANSWER: Detailed requirements are listed for pier-side and dry dock in SOW item 10122.

4. QUESTION: Item 10102 UNDERWATER BODY INSPECTIONS & REPAIRS - We are under the impression that NOAA will be contracting directly with ABS for their services. If this is the case, in paragraph 4.8.1, is the contractor to coordinate the inspections performed by the NOAA contracted ABS representative?

ANSWER: NOAA will pay all ABS cost associated with the required inspections. The vendor is responsible for scheduling the inspections based on the production schedule and accessibility of inspection items.
