1. This Amendment is issued to respond to the following questions that were received:

Question Answer (Work Item 312) WI 312 mentions servicing 6 x 25 mn Elliot liferafts. In 2022 Vane Brothers Marine Safety serviced 4 each 20mn USCG approved Elliot liferafts, 1 each 20mn USCG approved Crewsaver liferaft, 2 each 4mn USCG approved Survitec liferafts, and supplied 1 each NEW 20mn USCG approved Elliot liferaft. The first inspection will not be due until Nov 1st 2024. See the initial service date on the certificate for the NEW 20mn Elliot we provided in 2022. Can NOAA confirm that servicing of 6 x 25 mn Elliot liferafts will be required for this availability?

Contractor should see Table 312-1 added via Rev A. New Elliott liferaft will not require servicing.

(Work Item 508) Neither the specs nor the reference describes the cable types or lengths that require replacement. Will NOAA please provide cable types and approximate lengths?

Estimate qty (2) each 100 Ft runs of 24F 50/125 OM3 (OFCP PNU-ILPA) armored cabling and 1100lf - OM1 6 x 62.5/125 (series 300 orange jacket) See 5.8.4.5.

(Work Item 312) Can you send me a copy of the last inspections on these 6 rafts? or any info about them like manufacture dates what kind of equipment pack they are? Otherwise, I would have to assume that everything is expired inside and that they need to be gas inflated which could drastically swing the estimate cost.

Contractor should see Table 312-1 added via Rev A. New Elliott liferaft will not require servicing.

(Work Item 509) Please, provide 5.9.2 References- 1) NOAA Thomas Jefferson Site Survey Telephone Layout Rv (1) Zenitel 2) NOAA Thomas Jefferson2_XLS Zenitel.

Requested references attached.

(General) Paragraph 2.3.12.a on page 10, This paragraph requires QP-1 certification. If a Sub does not have a QP-1 cert but has a NACE Inspector present, would that satisfy the requirement?

A NACE inspector is acceptable.

(General) Paragraph 2.5.8 on page 13, This paragraph mentions encountering zinc chromate during work onboard the vessel, but there is no abatement requirement anywhere in the Spec.

Please clarify if abatement costs must be included in the Spec and if so, provide estimated quantities and areas.

Do not include abatement costs. Contractor may or may not encounter Zinc chromate.

(Work Item 301) Reference (a) 4.14 on page 6, is internet service required for this vessel’s availability?

Yes; High-Speed Internet Service: Provide high-speed, broadband internet connectivity via a local Internet Service Provider (ISP), or privately owned, internal internet connection.

The service provided shall be a business- type account that supports Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections. Provide the proper number of connections necessary to satisfy the ship’s wet berth and drydock locations, as well as the ship and COR’s dockside office space(s). All necessary cabling, DSL or cable modem(s), or fiber translators shall be provided for an RJ-45 network connection to the ship and office(s) routers.

Provide a minimum of one Internet Protocol (IP) address with Directory Name Server (DNS) service for each of the ship and dockside office(s) locations.
