1. SCOPE

1.1 These Detail Specifications contain the requirements for drydocking and general repairs on the NOAA Ship Thomas Jefferson (formerly USNS Littlehales, T-AGS 52, Hull 1169).

1.1.1 The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) operates a fleet of research vessels that supports research and mapping for the National Marine Fisheries Service, National Ocean Service, Office of Atmospheric Research and the National Weather Service, as well as provides support to other Federal agencies. These research missions are time sensitive and therefore the data must be collected at specific times during the sailing season to be meaningful. At the end of each sailing season the vessels enter a repair period (drydock or dockside) to address repairs that have been previously identified, perform upgrades to mission systems or ship systems that either extend the life of the ship or provide new data collection capabilities or for safer operations of ships systems as well as address any emergent work that would adversely affect the ships ability to safely perform its mission on schedule , while meeting all regulatory body requirements (American Bureau of Shipping and United States Coast Guard) and all habitability requirements, including any that may be required as a result of contracts for personnel to augment ship staff.

1.1.2 The work items in the repair specification are identified well in advance of the performance period in order meet the contracting lead times. Additional work items (emergent work) may arise during the period between the work package submittal, contract award, or even prior to the start of or during the contract performance period. In accordance with Commerce Acquisition Regulation (CAR) clause 1352. 271- 72, the Contracting Officer may order additional changes during the contract period of performance to address any additional work items identified as necessary to ensure the intent of the drydock or dockside repair contract is met; that is, that the vessel shall be able to safely perform its mission, that it will meet all habitability requirements and regulatory body requirements, and that such repairs will be timely performed to ensure to the maximum extent practicable that the ship's schedule is not adversely impacted.

Page | 12

d) Ensure COR and/or Ship’s force are provided SDS for ALL cleaning, prep, and/or coating products brought on board by contractors

2.5.2. NOAA Reference 2.1.4 was used in the id identification, location, and naming of spaces within these Detail Specifications. Even though reference 2.1.4 has been modified since construction, differences still exist.

2.5.3. Ship’s force may schedule work items to be accomplished by ship’s force concurrent with these Detail Specifications. Ship’s force work items will be scheduled and coordinated with the contractor to not interfere with the work required in these Detail Specifications.

2.5.4. Ship Safety Procedures. NOAA Ship Thomas Jefferson has her own safety procedures to include Confined Space Entry Program, Lockout/Tagout, Hot work Operations, and Marine Operations Fall Protection Program. Ship’s force will continue to use the ship’s safety procedures during accomplishment of ship’s force work items.

2.5.5. Ship’s force is scheduling to demobilized from their last mission at the beginning of the shipyard availability and mobilize for their next mission at the end of the shipyard availability. Anticipate additional ship’s force activities during these times.

2.5.6. Habitability

a) The ship shall be deemed uninhabitable when any one or a combination of the following conditions exist and it is impossible for management to correct the problem in a timely manner (4 hours or as noted below):

1. Heat and/or air conditioning is not furnished.

2. Potable water (hot or cold) is not provided for a period of 12 or more consecutive hours.

3. When a working toilet, shower, and sanitary drainage are not furnished.

4. At all times when the vessel is in drydock overnight, unless the ship is fully habitable with all facilities including heat and/or air conditioning, lights, hot and cold running water, shower and sanitary facilities (working toilets and sanitary drainage). Portable toilets do not meet the requirements for sanitary facilities.

5. Work such as such as chipping, welding, riveting, hammering and/or pounding, or other noises of a similar nature are being performed in or around vessel personnel quarters or noxious fumes are present that disrupts the employees’ ability to rest for more than three (3) hours. Note:

Wage mariners not assigned to a watch, are assigned to work during eight

(8) hours of duty between 0800- and 1700-hours Monday through Friday.

6. Flooding of quarters or common areas due to bilge or sewage backup not repaired within 24 hours.

b) When a vessel is in port and declared uninhabitable, no employee will be allowed to live on board. Individual quarters may be deemed uninhabitable when the respective quarters have been painted, the paint is not absolutely dry, and other suitable

Page | 13

E quarters are not furnished aboard. It is also not intended that any wage mariner shall be assigned to sleep in a flooded berthing area.

2.5.7. Shipcheck: Contractors are encouraged to review ship’s drawings and are expected to attend the Thomas Jefferson’s pre-bid inspection to inspect the locations and shipboard conditions of the work items in this package prior to submitting a bid proposal. This inspection should satisfy potential contractors regarding all general and local conditions, compatibility, locations, material sizes and types, components, and accessibility that may affect the cost of contract performance, to the extent that the information is reasonably obtainable. In no event shall failure to inspect the sites during the pre-bid inspection constitute grounds for growth work, change order or claim after contract award.

a) The date of the shipcheck will be within 1 week of the solicitation or during during the ship’s inport period. Location will be in Galveston, Texas and at the expense of the contractor.

2.5.8. Much of the ship’s original paint contains zinc chromate. Contractors will encounter this paint during the work aboard the vessel and should take this into account when preparing their bid as it relates to the necessary work required to accomplish the specific tasks.

2.5.9. The contractor and all subcontractors, regardless of tier, shall review other work items under this contact to determine their effect on each other.

2.5.10. The following general characteristics of the ship are provided for information:

ABS Class Number...9105067 Delivery Date….01 Dec 1991 Length Overall.........208 feet Beam (Molded)...........45 feet Propulsion.............Diesel, single screw Cruising Speed..........12 knots Electric Service.......345 KW, 225/450 volts AC Officer size Crew size ABS Class Notations.... ✠A1, ,✠AMS, ✠ACC
