This inspection should satisfy potential contractors regarding all general and local conditions, (including locations, interferences, tolerances and necessary “work-arounds”, etc.) 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 constitute grounds for a change order or claim after contract award.

1.4.3 Ship’s drawings and technical publications may be

borrowed during the performance period. It would be preferable for the contractor to make copies of these drawing and technical publications if their intended use will be outside an office environment. All reference materials borrowed by the Contractor shall be signed for, and then returned to the COR after no further use of the reference materials is required.

1.4.4 Provide the COR with a project staffing plan by

trade/craft and subcontractor showing how the project will be appropriately staffed to be completed by the end of the performance period. The plan should be “resource loaded” showing the planned labor needed and actual labor hours assigned Schedules shall have enough granularity to show the number of workers, by trade, for all given tasks.

When specific details are required, the Government will provide design/detail specifications; this will be more the exception, than the rule.

1.4.16 Frame numbers and space names are derived from ship’s

drawings. All equipment changes and space modifications over the ship’s life span may not all be reflected in the referenced drawings. Contractors are encouraged to review all referenced drawings and to perform a field inspection of the ship prior to submitting a .
