All filling, buffing and waxing shall be done to manufacturer’s recommendation and industry standards. Contractor shall supply filler, rubbing compound and wax.

Items 0001 – 0009 apply to the Sea Ranger.

Item 0001: Haul/Launch, Block, Pressure Wash Bottom. Remove vessel from water for complete inspection of the hull and appendages prior to painting. Haul shall be accomplished in accordance with standard commercial practice, providing adequate blocking to evenly support the vessel and prevent strain. The Contractor shall be responsible for shifting the vessel or the blocking where necessary to affect repairs to the hull, and in order to access all areas for renewal, repairs, preparation and painting. The Contractor shall use pressurized water, with or without additives, to clean and prepare the bottom of the vessel for inspection by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).

Item 0002: Prepare and Paint Bottom. The Contractor shall clean the bottom of the vessel of all marine growth before painting with black Ameron ABC – 3 anti-fouling paint. The sea screens shall be removed, cleaned, holes reamed of growth, painted with anti-fouling paint on both sides, and reinstalled prior to launching the vessel. Thru-hull openings shall also be cleaned of growth as far up as possible and painted with a minimum of 2 coats of anti-fouling paint. The Contractor shall paint the entire bottom of the vessel using two full coats of anti-fouling paint. A third coat of Ameron ABC – 3 shall be applied from the boot stripe to three inches below the chine. All manufacturers’ recommendation for storage, handling, preparation and application of the coating system shall be strictly adhered to. All manufacturers’ requirements for surface preparation and weather conditions must be met prior to paint application. After the hull bottom is completely dry and free from any potential damage to newly applied paint, the Contractor shall remove/relocate dry-dock blocks and cradles to expose unprepared/unpainted bottom areas for proper preparation and painting of these areas. The entire bottom shall be painted with two coats before the boat is refloated. The Government will provide bottom paint. The Contractor shall remove existing zinc plates prior to painting and reinstall after painting. The Government will determine if plate zincs need to be replaced and if so will provide all zincs.

Item 0003: Remove and Install Two (2) Propellers. The Contractor shall furnish labor and material to complete the removal of the propellers on the Sea Ranger. The removed set will be returned to Channel Islands National Park. The propellers are then to be replaced by the Contractor with a Government provided set. Contractor shall use the industry standard for removal and replacement of propellers.

Item 0004: Nitrox Ventilation in Lazarette (option). The NPS has a Nitrox dive compressor which runs off a 20Kw generator, both in the lazarette. There is a need for increased ventilation for adequate cooling. The NPS will purchase a 1,100 CFM AC axial fan and (2) two aluminum dorade vent boxes for the Contractor to install and wire. Contractor shall install the fan in the lazarette in a location designated by the NPS and wire the fan directly to the 20Kw generator.

Contractor shall relocate a stainless davit currently in the location designated for the exhaust dorade. The new location shall be immediately inboard of present location, toward a stainless deck cleat, and include under the deck support structure.

This job will require cutting into the deck to install vent boxes, sealing all work areas to make watertight, painting aluminum vent boxes with primer and topcoat, and touching up damaged areas of paint to match existing color. Dorades shall be painted with (2) two coats of Ameron Haze Gray 235 Epoxy Primer followed by (2) two coats of Pearl Gray topcoat to match surrounding paint. Contractor shall supply all ducting and wiring materials for the project, hardware, isolation rings, and under deck support. NPS will supply primer and topcoat paint.

This job shall include pulling one shaft, replacing the shaft seal, and replacing both bearings. Shafts are tapered at the engine. The propellers will already be removed and replaced as part of base item 0003 and should not be included in the price of this job. If only a final bearing needs to be replaced it is not necessary to pull the shaft and replace seals or intermediate bearing on the Sea Ranger. If required, replacement of a final bearing only shall be bid under additional mechanical, Option Item 0009.

The Contractor shall follow PYI’s recommendations for replacing the PSS Pro Shaft Seals on either of two (2) 3” shafts. If inspection reveals excessive wear on either of two intermediate shaft bearings, the Contractor shall remove existing shaft bearings and replace with Government-provided equivalent shaft bearings. If one shaft is pulled both bearings per shaft will be replaced.

Two (2) or four (4) bearings may be replaced. Upon completion the Contractor shall ensure that that each engine is aligned in the water to within .005 or less of an inch tolerance. The Contractor shall quote this job per removal and replacement of one (1) shaft, (1) one shaft seal, and two (2) bearings. The Government will supply the shaft seals and bearings. On the Sea Ranger the intermediate bearing is fiber shell and the final bearing is bronze or brass for the stainless struts.

The Contractor shall identify shaft seals or shaft bearings needing replacement to the COR and will provide a written Condition Found Report to the COR/Contracting Officer with a brief description of work and the number to be replaced.
