The surface preparation is SPCC-SP3 Power Tool Cleaned to remove all loose mill scale, loose rust, loose paint and other loose detrimental foreign matter by power wire brush, sanding, grinding chipping and descaling.

The area to be stripped is the interior shell plating from the main deck to the large horizontal web frame where fiberglass insulation was installed. This measures approximately 8’ from the main deck down to the horizontal web frame by 18’ long or 150 sq. ft. on each side, port and starboard, for a total of approximately 300 sq. ft. of side-shell to be stripped to SPCC-SP3.

Care shall be taken to cover sensitive ballast treatment equipment and electrical panels, boxes, etc. with suitable canvas coverings to protect this equipment.

Insulation and nails will be removed by NPS personnel prior to arrival at the contracted yard. Framing and stiffeners need not be done unless there is obvious rust and scale present in which case it will be spot stripped to SPCC-SP3.

Framing in the area of the side-shell plating (where insulation was installed) will be cleaned then coated with the Corothane 1, Mio Aluminum primer paint and top coated with the Temp Coat 101 ceramic insulation to 60 mil DFT (20 mil per coat). Overheads will not be done. Bulkheads fore and aft will not be done. The side shell plating is to be mechanically stripped to SPCC-SP3 as explained above, vacuum clean, thoroughly fluid cleaned with Simple Green or Crud-Cutter brand and then single coated with a primer of Sherwin Williams Corothane I Mio Aluminum, (1 coat) 2-4 mil DFT, then top-coated with three coats (20 mil DFT per coat applied to manufacture’s specifications) of Temp Coat 101 Anti-Condensate Ceramic Insulation to 60 mil DFT for a total of 64 mil DFT; side shell and local frames.

The tank top of the bilge to the high water line (almost 2 feet up at rear and less forward) is to have paint, scale, rust etc. removed mechanically to SPCC-SP3 (as side-shell plate) not including areas below water tank, permanent (lead) ballast or sewage tank. The compartment then is to be vacuum cleaned of debris (lead paint chips, scale, etc.) and fluid cleaned thoroughly with Simple Green or Crud- Cutter brand cleaners. The clean & dry surface is then to be painted with two coats of Sherwin Williams brand (or equal) Seaguard 5000 HS Epoxy paint to 5-8 mil DFT in a light gray color. The tank top bilge area is measured at approximately 250 sq. ft.

Work will not be performed on overhead, underneath sewage tanks, underneath or on permanent lead ballast or water tank and bulkheads. Insulation will remain on these surfaces. Permanent ballast is not to be disturbed per USCG OICMIO.

3.6 BALLAST TANKS

All ballast tank lids will be removed by vessel crew after arrival in dry dock for inspection and sampling by NPS natural resource personnel for ANS. Following inspection and sampling, contractor will clean only those tanks designated by the COR, tentatively anticipated to be tanks #1, #2 P&S and #4 P&S.

3.7 ADDITION OF BILGE ALARMS IN ALL COMPARTMENTS - LOWER

HOLD, CREW DECK VOID, ENGINEROOM, H2O VOID, HOSE VOID,

STEERING GEAR COMPARTMENTS

Contractor will quote to add a bilge alarm system in the water-tight compartments with USCG and ABS compliant alarms both visual and audible. There shall be bilge alarm sensors located aft in each watertight compartment, with two mounted in the crew (void) compartment; two in the engine room; two in the water compartment; two in the hose compartment and one located forward in the steering compartment. The compartments with two shall be mounted outboard, port and starboard aft with debris cages.

Alarms shall be mounted in the engine room near throttle cabinet; in pilothouse on back wall and in the staircase to crew’s quarters on vertical overhead. This could change if USCG or ABS requires different arrangement and/or placement of alarms.

3.8 UPGRADE ELECTRICAL POWER DISTRIBUTION SWITCHBOARD

PANEL IN ENGINEROOM

The main electrical switchboard is 208 volt 3-Phase and original equipment installed in 1958. Most repair parts are obsolete and no longer available. The switchboard cabinet, foundations and buss-bars are in serviceable condition and could be re-utilized. The contractor shall prepare two quotes. The first quote should reflect the cost to retrofit the existing electrical distribution section with new;

Two main generator circuit breakers with reverse power relays Ground detection system All meters All Selector and Control switches Branch circuit breakers Shore power breaker Emergency generator tie-breaker New fabricated panel fronts to accept new equipment

The second quote should reflect the cost to replace all the above mentioned equipment plus the cost to replace the panel mounted and individual motor starters.

The present system is configured to operate separately or in synchronized mode.

Please refer to the Main Switchboard Schematic for guidance.

3.9 Disassemble, De-grease, Clean, Reassemble & Lubricate Bow/Anchor Windlass and Stern Winches.

Bow Winch is a Markey Type WEWD-12, wildcat 1-1/16, SN#8183. Stern is Markey DEWD-12, SN# 8184, dated May 1958. Inspect winches for OEM tolerance, clean all components, reassemble, and lube. If available, Government will supply OEM prints, If not contractor will consult Markey Inc.

3.10 TAILSHAFT AND TAILSHAFT BEARING REPLACEMENT

Removal of the shafts and bearing replacement. Replacements will be furnished from NPS parts inventories. It shall be the contractors responsibility to ship all used bearing shells to Duramax Marine Inc. for relining and returned to ISRO before the contract is considered complete. All charges for relining to be paid by the contractor.

3.11 SEACOCKS AND SEA CHESTS PARTS REPLACEMENT

Defective or worn parts shall be repaired or replaced. The seacocks shall be repacked with new packing and gaskets. Sea globe valves shall be ground in and blued. All sea valve gates shall be marked "inboard" and "outboard" at removal to insure they are reassembled in the same orientation. All sea strainers shall be cleaned. If sandblasting occurs in way of open sea valves, it is the contractor’s responsibility to insure that all openings are closed with appropriate covers so that blast grit will not enter the engine room. All sea valve seats shall be proven tight to the satisfaction of the COR and the vessels’ Chief Engineer by opening vents, cocks, gauge lines etc. inboard of the valves.

Following is a list of valves and seacocks to be overhauled/repaired, cleaned, repacked and reassembled:

Engine Room Suction 2 ----6" sea suction, high & low 2 ----3” globe, cooling water 7 ----3/4" globe 1 ----2" gate, sea water flushing
