The purpose of this amendment is to provide answers to those additional inquiries that have been submitted prior to the close of the inquiry period.

… continued from Block 14.

Drydock Repairs on the NOAA Ship Ferdinand Hassler

RFQ# 1305M225Q0144

Answered Inquiries

Q1: Currently the Hassler, Bigelow and Foster are out for bid with their availabilities pretty much at the same time. Is there any consideration given to sending two vessels to the same facility due to the efficiency of being able to dock two vessels in the same dock at the same time?

A1: You can note in the narrative of your submission that discounted drydocking cost could apply if you are able to dock two vessels at the same time. However, this would be an AIR for negotiation after award. For pricing purposes, please price each without the assumption of drydocking two vessels at once. Each requirement will be evaluated on price independently. Any discounts for multiple vessels would not be included in the total evaluated price for award.

Q2. WI 16301: Valves: Do any of the valves require renewal? All that is referenced are overhauls and QA.

A2. As per Reference 1.2.1 NOAA Standard Specification: All valves 2 inches and under shall be renewed in kind rather than overhauled. 2" = 50.8mm

Q3. WI 24401: Stern Tube: Para. 1.4.4.1: Will dry grit blasting of the stern tube be acceptable in-lieu of UHP?

A3. Yes.

Q4. WI 63101: Hull Coating: Ref 631-1: Para. 3.4.2.2: Maintenance coat requires an epoxy to be applied over AF/AC coat, which is counter to any known system applications. Please clarify if this is what NOAA actually wants to perform.

A4. NOAA Standard 631-1 Paragraph 3.4.2.3 is the final coating AF/AC to the entire underwater hull and boot topping. Paragraphs 3.4.2.1 & 3.4.2.2 are for areas requiring touch up following cleaning/blasting.

http://3.4.2.2/

Q5. WI 99701: Docking: Arrival/ Expected Drafts: Draft provided is the max draft the vessel is capable of, and this prevents certain dry-docks from being used because of the high build requirements. What is the anticipated arrival/ docking draft of the vessel?

A5. Draft at last dry-docking in FY24 was 3.14m (11'-8"). Since location of repair period is not known, this is the best approximation. From Reference 1.2.3 provides typical arrival draft from mission and Lightship values. Since all tanks are being entered, contractor has the potential to adjust arrival draft towards the lightship value after arrival.

Q6. For WI 31101 PORT SSDG Major Overhaul, vendor is asking if you could provide the engines serial numbers.
