SECTION D

PACKAGING AND MARKING

D01 PACKAGING

All spare parts shall be packaged by the Contractor for delivery and storage.

All spare parts shall be shipped to the Place of Delivery location specified in F03 after they have been packaged and marked by the Contractor in accordance with the requirements of this section.

Spare parts and materials are divided into two types based on their manner of long-term storage. All spares and materials shall be preserved for either long term “outside” storage or packaged for long term “protected” storage.

“Consumables” such as bulbs, filters, paint, and hardware shall be stored aboard the vessel and do not need to be marked in accordance with Clause D02.

“OUTSIDE” Storage spare parts and materials are intended to be stored for extended (two to five years) periods of time outdoors. These parts will be preserved with a paint or other preservative coating acceptable to the manufacturer and the COR; all threaded parts will be coated or filled with preservative and plastic pipe caps or plugs inserted.

“OUTSIDE” spare parts shall be fitted with Contractor furnished pallets, or fixtures to raise them off the ground during storage and provide a lifting rig for moving them by crane, forklift, and truck.

“PROTECTED” Storage spare parts are intended to be stored for extended (two to five years) periods of time in unheated warehouses.

“PROTECTED” Storage spare parts shall be coated with paint and other preservative coating systems as recommended by the manufacturer and acceptable to the COR and packaged for mechanical and physical protection as accepted by the Contracting Officer’s Representative.
