(Item 3.18)

a. 3.18.4.1 Provide the serial number for the strainer.

b. 3.18.7.2 Provide material and pipe diameter for this pipe as wrought iron has been discontinued according to note 4.

(Items 3.10 and 3.14)

a. Paragraph 3.10.3.2.1 in item 3.10 states to prepare (blast) the void but I think you meant to write bilge. Paragraphs 3.10.3.2.1 and

3.10.3.4 are already covered in item 3.14 paragraph 3.14.4. Therefore, the work to blast and paint the bilge is covered by 3.14 and the scope of work in item 3.10 is only to inspect the steering gear bilge. Can you confirm this?

Correct. This is a bilge not a void. The blast in

3.10.3.2.1 is intended to remove the lose paint and rust to allow for inspection. 3.10.3.4 requires the prep and paint to be complete by item 3.14. This was to prevent double charging for painting this space.

(Item 3.17)

a. In respect to WI 3.17 ECDIS: We contact Mackay Marine as per the spec.

Mackay states that model that they cannot service as they have no Tech Rep available. They recommend Wartsila.

Can you provide a Wartsila contact or other Tech Rep for this system?

a. Wartsilla is the parent company for TRANSAS. We recommend contacting Wartsilla and discussing availability of tech reps. If that is unsuccessful, Beier Radio in Louisiana is a TRANSAS installer and would be an acceptable choice.

2. The due date for the submission of quotes is hereby extended to July 20, 2023, at 2:00 pm Eastern Standard Time (EST).
