PROGRESS MEETINGS AND PROGRESS REPORT

A weekly progress meeting shall be attended by the Contractor, COR and the ship’s

Captain/Chief Engineer/Chief Mate to discuss individual ITEM and Delivery Order progress. A

Progress Report shall be delivered to the COR one day prior to the progress meeting. This report shall list each contract ITEM and Delivery Order, their awarded dollar value, the

Contractor’s estimate of their percent completion, and the resulting earned value (which will be the awarded amount x the percent completion). This Progress Report shall be examined by the

COR along with the Contractor’s Production Chart. A percent completion shall be negotiated and the report signed for by both parties. This document shall be the ONLY document requiring signature of the COR. In order to avoid conflicting and/or erroneous information, NO OTHER document delivered to the COR (such as a condition report) which makes a statement regarding

ITEM and/or Delivery Order progress and/or percent completion shall be signed as being agreed to by the COR.

CONTRACT AND GUIDANCE DRAWINGS

GENERAL

The Contractor shall submit DWGS, permits or other correspondence required by regulation for review and approval. Submittals will commence upon signing a Contract with the successful bidder. The Contractor is tasked to keep the Owner and the operator apprised of the status of such submittals.

EXISTING VESSEL INFORMATIONAL DRAWINGS

Existing vessel informational drawings are available from the Chief Engineer, and should be requested in writing if required. It should be understood that the vessel has been in service for a number of years and had a number of conversions; therefore, interested bidders should be cautioned that the accuracy of the existing vessel drawings cannot be verified, and bidders should be specific about what information they are seeking from the existing drawings. Requested drawings will be forward to all interested bidders upon request. Drawings will be provided in electronic format when available. The OWNER does not warrant the accuracy of these plans and requires the CONTRACTOR to verify by physical ship check any and all of the existing plans prior to submitting their bid.

INTERFERENCES/ACCESS

The elimination of all equipment interferences; and the location or relocation of machinery, pumps, piping, wiring, ductwork and misc. equipment so that proper access for operation and maintenance can be readily achieved is the CONTRACTOR responsibility. It is essential that the

CONTRACTOR is aware of his obligation in this regard. The CONTRACTOR is responsible to see that ALL INSTALLATIONS are arranged, constructed, and/or relocated in "good shipbuilding practice" and that they adhere to the requirements of the CFR. The CONTRACTOR and the COR are mutually responsible for the maintenance of ongoing communications, inspections, and approvals as construction progresses.

ASBESTOS /VENDORS /SUBCONTRACTORS

ASBESTOS ABATEMENT

The CONTRACTOR shall, as part of this Contract, remove and dispose of all asbestos removed or disturbed for the performance of this contract. In addition, CONTRACTOR shall comply with the most current edition of all federal, state, county, and city codes and ordinances as they apply to the location(s) in which the work is performed.

Note: The OWNER hereby informs the CONTRACTOR that the existing vessel does contain asbestos and that the CONTRACTOR is specifically required to provide certification that the

CONTRACTOR is a certified asbestos abatement contractor or that the CONTRACTOR has engaged a certified asbestos abatement subcontractor.

VENDOR LISTING

The CONTRACTOR shall provide the COR with a listing of major Vendors and Subcontractors being employed on the contract. The list shall include name; address; telephone and fax numbers; e-mail address; purchase order or contract number; and an equipment or service description. This list will give a baseline for the entry of the vessel as converted into the OWNER electronic contact system.

An initial Vendor/Contractor List shall be provided not more than 10 days after contract signing and shall be updated, as required, every 10 days thereafter over the course of the contract.

INSPECTIONS

GENERAL

All materials and workmanship shall be subject to inspection by the COR, ABS, the USCG and other regulatory bodies having jurisdiction. All inspection and observation of tests by the COR will be performed in such a manner as not to unnecessarily delay the contract work.

The COR shall promptly approve all work and material conforming to the requirements of this

Specification and shall promptly reject all work and materials, which do not conform. Such rejected work or material shall be satisfactorily corrected.

SCHEDULING & ATTENDANCE

The CONTRACTOR is responsible for scheduling and presenting all completed work for Acceptance

Inspections and for giving written ADEQUATE NOTICE of 24 HOURS to the COR and other required inspection agencies that such work is complete, has been passed by the CONTRACTOR QA, and is ready for such inspection. Inspections shall, when possible, be scheduled and accomplished during normal workdays on the CONTRACTOR day shift.

The COR will make every effort to maintain communications with the parties involved and to report to the inspection site per agreed schedule. If the COR is unable to keep the schedule, he shall notify the CONTRACTOR as soon as possible and reschedule for a mutually agreeable time.

Failure of the COR to attend an inspection does not constitute an acceptance of the work.

Inspections by ABS, the Coast Guard or other agency do not eliminate these requirements for inspection and acceptance by the COR.

PREPARATIONS

Work presented for inspection shall be complete in all respects, clean, free of debris, scrap, lines, welding wire ends and all temporary gear. Reasonable accommodations shall have been made for access, lighting, and fresh air supply in advance of the inspection party.

COVERINGS

Prior to the application/installation of paint, deck covering, insulation, sheathing, joiner work, ceilings, etc., all structure and weld that is to be covered will be given final inspection and will be signed off on by the COR. It must be clearly understood by the CONTRACTOR that the COR has the right and option to require removal of any or all coverings for inspection in areas that have not been previously inspected and passed. This requirement makes it essential that weekend and night shift foremen, for both CONTRACTOR and Subcontractors, be in close communication with the QA Department and Project Manager.

RE-INSPECTIONS

Any welding, burning, heat shrinking, etc. which is performed as rework, repair, or on change orders after an inspection has been completed, may require (at the COR's option) the removal of any or all coverings for re-inspection of plate, welds, etc. This requirement will further emphasize the necessity of a formal QA Inspection process and the necessity for close communications between CONTRACTOR and COR. An initial inspection in no way negates the requirement for re-inspection if an area is reworked in any manner.

COMPARTMENT COMPLETIONS

Living spaces, workspaces and control/machinery spaces shall be inspected and certified complete by the COR and the CONTRACTOR representative. A compartment shall not be considered accepted until the inspection is complete, deficiencies are corrected, and the COR and

CONTRACTOR have signed off on the space. At this time, so far as is possible, the compartment shall be secured and no further work shall be conducted within the space unless approved by the mutual consent of the COR and CONTRACTOR.

The intent of the foregoing paragraph is to guarantee that the OWNER will receive, at delivery, a fully operational vessel which is immediately capable of entering service. Any pre-existing deficiencies not covered in these Specifications or Drawings will be subject to correction at the

OWNER expense.

PROSECUTION OF WORK

STARTING DATE FOR PROJECTS

The Notification of Award will stipulate the date on which it is expected the Contractor will begin contract work and from which date contract time will be charged. No work shall begin on the project until the contract has been fully executed.

SCHEDULE REQUIREMENTS

Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the Contractor is required to furnish the COR with the following schedules at or before start of any work: Gantt chart (Bar Chart).

The COR will independently review the initial schedule, and then meet with the Contractor for a joint review and make necessary corrections and adjustments.

The schedule shall show contract milestones, intermediate contract completion dates, and the contract completion date. The schedule shall show the Contractor’s scheduled completion date and the substantial completion date when applicable.

Should the prosecution of the work be discontinued or changed for any reason, these specifications require the Contractor to notify the COR at least two days in advance of changing or resuming operations. Through the life of the project, the COR should verify that activities, durations, start and finish dates, etc. shown on the schedule represent the actual status of work.

The COR may request in writing a supplemental schedule if the actual prosecution of work differs significantly from that represented on the schedule. The Contractor must provide the requested supplemental schedule within 3 calendar days of the request and at no cost to the

Government.

Jobsite progress meetings shall be held weekly or as specified for the purpose of updating the schedule. Progress will be reviewed to verify actual start and finish dates of completed activities, remaining duration and percent complete of uncompleted activities, and any proposed revisions to the schedule. It is the Contractor's responsibility to provide the COR with the status of activities at the progress meetings and prepare schedule updates based on this information once it has been verified and agreed upon. A written narrative describing the schedule status, the critical path and any revisions to the schedule shall be included with the updated schedule.

The updated schedule will be resubmitted should it not contain the agreed upon information.

The COR must have a schedule that accurately represents the prosecution of work and activities at all times. A current schedule is essential for evaluating requests for adjustments and determining how delays, extra work, interruptions, suspensions, etc. will impact the contract completion date or the Contractor’s scheduled completion date. These specifications allow the

COR to withhold progress payments if the Contractor fails to provide the schedules and updates as required.

GANTT CHART

A Gantt chart is another name for a bar chart. The Gantt chart provides a graphical representation of the project plan that includes the activities that make up the project, the estimated duration of each activity, and the planned sequence of activity performance. The critical path must be identified on the Gantt chart. Total float must be identified on Gantt charts developed from CPM schedules. Total float is not required to be identified on Gantt charts developed without CPM schedules. The Gantt chart must conform to the specifications as set forth in the contract.

PROGRESS REVIEW MEETINGS

The CONTRACTOR and COR shall hold progress review meetings every (1) week to be held at the

CONTRACTOR facility or such other location as approved by both parties beginning (1) week after the delivery of the vessel to the CONTRACTOR facility. The purpose of the meetings is to discuss, report, and resolve problems relative to progress, anticipated delays, cost experience in relation to budget and projected end costs, staffing, schedules, receipt of GFE (if any), CONTRACTOR furnished material, production problems (including Subcontractor problems), and other related matters.

GUARANTEES

All guarantees or warrantees shall begin at the completion of final acceptance the completed work detailed in the specification by the COR.

MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP

MATERIAL GENERAL

All material unless otherwise specified herein, shall be of commercial quality; suitable for marine environment; and shall conform to ASTM, Federal, Military, SAE, ABS, and USCG (CFR) requirements. This material shall be so designated on Bills of Material and on Construction

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Item 101 APPLICABILITY OF RULES AND REGULATION

ABSTRACT:

It is the intent of this ITEM to define the rules and regulations governing the TS KENNEDY in order that the Contractor is cognizant of these requirements in the performance of this SOW.

REFERENCES:

46 CFR 167

SOLAS Cargo Ship (Non-tanker)

LOCATION / DESCRIPTION:

The TS KENNEDY was originally constructed as a Cargo Ship (non- tanker) under ABS Rules and the rules of SOLAS 1960. Conversion to a Public Nautical School Ship took place in 2003 with additional conversion work being accomplished in 2009. As a Public Nautical School Ship, the regulations of 46 CFR 167 in addition to SOLAS rules for a Cargo Ship (non-tanker) applies. As a voluntary act, the U.S. Maritime Administration constructed the converted areas (in 2003 and 2009) in accordance with the requirements of a SOLAS Passenger ship (greater than 36 passengers).

Other unconverted areas of the ship retain only Cargo Ship compliance.

NOTES:

Not Separately Priced (NSP) in section B Pricing.

STATEMENT OF WORK:

All work in this SOW must comply with the requirements of the USCG, ABS and SOLAS relative to the area being worked on. For example, if work is being performed in an area of the ship previously converted in accordance with SOLAS Passenger Ship rules, the work must comply with SOLAS Passenger Ship rules. If work is being performed in an area which currently only meets Cargo Ship rules, the work must, at a minimum, comply with Cargo Ship rules. This compliance is especially important relative to maintaining structural fire protection ratings. In this regard, the Contractor shall not perform any work which will result in a lowering of the existing structural fire protection ratings.

If the Contractor is aware of anything in this SOW that shall compromise that compliance, they shall make it known immediately, in writing, to the

COR.

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA / DELIVERABLES:

Prove all the work to the satisfaction of COR and TSK Officers.

The ship is not in an Alternate Compliance Program (ACP) with the US Coast Guard (as defined by 46 CFR, Part 8 Subchapter D). For this reason, witnessing of all inspections and surveys related to this dry docking must be offered to the US Coast Guard as well as ABS. As this is a Public Nautical School Ship, there will be no attendance charges by USCG. ABS inspection fees shall be the responsibility of MARAD except when an inspection or survey has failed as a result of the Contractor's lack of preparation and planning. In those instances, the ABS survey fees associated with the subsequent visit shall be the Contractor's expense.
