TPOC: Matthew O'Donnell Period of Performance: Upon Award to April 30, 2022

1. BACKGROUND:

1.1. The Training Ship, State of Maine, was originally constructed for the Military Sealift Command in 1989 as the USNS Tanner. The Tanner was later converted to its current configuration (as the

Training Ship, State of Maine) in 1997. The ship is part of the USDOT-Maritime Administration’s

National Defense Reserve Fleet (NDRF). The ship maintains a U.S. Coast Guard Certificate of

Inspection (COI) and American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Classification with the following designations and notations:

1.1.1. USCG Service / ABS Description: Public Nautical School Ship.

1.1.2. SOLAS Category: Cargo Ship.

1.1.3. MARPOL Category: Not an Oil Tanker.

1.1.4. ABS Class Notations:

1.2. The ship is enrolled in a Continuous Hull and Continuous Machinery Survey with ABS.

1.3. As a Public Nautical School Ship and Cargo Ship (non-tanker), the regulations of 46 CFR 167, in addition to ABS Rules and SOLAS Regulations for a Cargo Ship (non-tanker), govern all work performed aboard. If there are apparent differences between the requirements of the CFRs, ABS

Rules and SOLAS Regulations, the more stringent requirement shall apply.

1.4. The turbocharger (VTR-501-2P) currently installed on the ship’s main propulsion diesel engine is no longer parts supportable. As such, a casualty of the turbocharger will render the main propulsion diesel engine unusable.

2. INTENT AND PURPOSE:

2.1. It is, therefore, the Intent and Purpose of this Performance Work Statement (PWS), for the

Contractor to provide, “turn key”, all labor, materials, equipment and services (unless specified as “Government Furnished”) to engineer, specify, procure and install, a compatible, replacement turbocharger in accordance with all regulatory requirements of the CFRs, ABS Rules and SOLAS

Regulations.

3.1. The existing Turbocharger is an ABB Model VTR501-2P, Serial # 363140.

3.2. The Main Propulsion Engine is a 6 cylinder, 4 stroke, MaK Model 6M601, Serial #63087, rated at 6,000 kW, 425 Rpm, Bore 580 mm, Stroke 600 mm.

3.3. 46 CFR 167.

3.4. ABS Rules for a Cargo Ship (Non-Tanker).

3.5. SOLAS Regulations for a Cargo Ship (Non-Tanker).

3.6. MARAD Standard Coatings Guidelines

3.7. T/S State of Maine Safety Management Manual, Rev 1.

4. LOCATION, SCHEDULE AND PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE:

4.1. The T/S STATE OF MAINE is currently moored alongside her pier at the Maine Maritime

Academy, Castine, Maine 04421. The ship typically conducts one, 65 day training cruise each year from May thru July. COVID 19 has resulted in the need to reschedule these cruises. The dates of future training cruises are currently unknown. There is the possibility that two cruises

(approximating 65 days each) may be required in the upcoming year(s). Additionally, the ship is scheduled for an approximate two month drydocking during August and September of 2022. The location of that dry docking, and the availability of the ship (for executing this PWS during that drydocking), are also unknown. Being that the ship’s primary purpose is to conduct training cruises and that the dry dockings are a regulatory requirement, the execution of this PWS must be performed around these activities. The overall period of performance for this PWS, accounting for training cruises and drydocking schedules, shall be from date of award thru April 30, 2022.

5. GOVERNMENT FURNISHED:

5.1. Ship’s Stores Crane and Operator (limited to 5,000 lbs.)

5.2. Engine Stores Crane and Operator (limited to 4,000 lbs.)

5.3. Ship, tugs, pilots, crew, fuel, steward’s stores for an approximate two-day sea trial.

6. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: The following general requirements apply to ALL work performed in the execution of this PWS:

6.1. Project Kick-Off Meeting: A project meeting will be held to discuss project milestones and details prior to commence of service. If an additional site visit and/or project meeting needs to be rescheduled with minimal notice, any costs incurred by potential quoter or winning contractor, such as, but not limited to lodging costs, will not be reimbursed by the Government even if the cause of the delay is COVID-related.

6.2. COVID Protocols-Initial Testing Requirements: The students of the Maine Maritime

Academy (MMA) will be returning to campus beginning January 25, 2021. Upon arrival, they will begin a program of COVID testing and quarantining. In support of the citadel status created by these efforts, and given that some of these students will be aboard the ship during the contract period, the Maritime Administration (MARAD) is requiring that each employee of the Contractor or their subcontractors provide verification of a negative COVID molecular and/or antigen test upon their first arrival aboard the ship regardless of where they may be travelling from. That test must have been conducted not more than 72 hours prior to their first arrival date/time. All costs associated with this initial testing shall be borne by the Contractor. Subsequent to this initial testing requirement, each employee of the Contractor or their subcontractors may be asked to submit to one additional test throughout the contract period as part of MMA’s ongoing COVID surveillance testing program. The cost of the test shall be borne by MMA and they shall make every practical effort to minimize the period of time required to submit to the test. All labor hours and/or lost time associated with submission to a second test provided by MMA shall be borne by the Contractor.

6.3. COVID Protocols-Social Distancing and Mask Wearing: The Governor of the State of Maine has established executive orders specific to the wearing of masks and social distancing. These requirements can be found at https://www.maine.gov/covid19. The contractor and their subcontractors shall abide by these requirements while on MMA property as well as when they are aboard the Training Ship. In addition, specific passageways and areas shall be designated aboard the ship to provide separation between Contractor employees and subcontractors and

MMA students.

6.4. COVID Protocols-Travelling To/From the Ship from Out of State (Subsequent to the First

Arrival Aboard): The Governor of the State of Maine has promulgated executive orders specific to individuals travelling into Maine from out of state. These requirements can be found at https://www.maine.gov/covid19. The FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) associated with these orders states:

https://www.maine.gov/covid19 https://www.maine.gov/covid19

6.4.1. “Maine has three options for visitors to or from other states: 1) getting a recent negative

COVID-19 test (further defined below); 2) maintaining compliance with a 10-day quarantine

(PDF) upon arrival in Maine; 3) being exempted from the testing or quarantine requirement if you are a resident of the following states: New Hampshire, Vermont. (NOTE: The exemption for Connecticut, New York and New Jersey ended Nov. 4, 2020. The exemption for Massachusetts ended Nov. 16, 2020.) This policy applies to Maine residents who travel to non-exempt states as well as non-exempt states’ residents who travel to Maine. It also applies for day trips (e.g., a trip from Maine to Rhode Island for medical appointments or shopping).

6.4.2. People who are not residents of Maine or states exempt from quarantine requirements will be asked if they seek lodging (described below) to sign a Certificate of Compliance PDF) indicating either that they have received a recent negative COVID-19 test result, that they will quarantine in Maine for 10 days (or the full duration of their stay if fewer than 10 days), or that they have already completed their quarantine in Maine. This compliance form must be provided to check-in at all Maine lodging, including but not limited to campgrounds, seasonal rentals, overnight camps, and other commercial lodging, such as Airbnb. Visitors may be asked to furnish proof of the negative test result upon request.

6.4.3. Maine residents who visit an exempt state are not required to quarantine or test upon returning to Maine. However, if people visit other states or nations, they are required to either quarantine for 10 days or get a negative test.

6.4.4. Seasonal homeowners, workers traveling to Maine, and other visitors may also utilize a recent negative COVID-19 test as an alternative to the required 10-day quarantine in Maine.

6.4.5. Essential workers continue to be exempt from testing and quarantine requirements if they are traveling to Maine to perform essential work, or are from Maine and are traveling out-of-state for essential work and returning home. Essential workers that have not received a negative test result upon return to Maine must quarantine for 10 days when not performing essential work. And essential workers traveling to or from non-exempt states for purposes other than essential work (e.g., dropping off a child at college) are subject to the test or quarantine requirement”.

6.5. “Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers” has been defined by the Federal Government’s

Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) in a memo which can be accessed at https://www.cisa.gov/identifying-critical-infrastructure-during-covid-19. In addition, the U.S.

Coast Guard has issued Marine Safety Information Bulletin (MSIB) Number 11-20 which further https://www.cisa.gov/identifying-critical-infrastructure-during-covid-19 defines “Essential Maritime Critical Infrastructure Workers”. That document is available at:

https://homeport.uscg.mil/Lists/Content/Attachments/63127/MSIB-11-20-Identification-of-

Essential-Maritime-Critical-Infrastructure-Workers.pdf. It is MARAD’s belief that the work associated with this contract qualifies the Contractor’s employees as “Essential Maritime Critical

Infrastructure Workers”. In support of this position, MARAD recommends that each Contractor provide every employee travelling into Maine (who is not from one of the exempted States) with a copy of MSIB-11-20 in addition to a document on company letterhead stating the following:

6.5.1. The name of the employee.

6.5.2. That they will be performing essential services aboard the Training Ship, “State of Maine”, under a Federal Government Contract (provide contract #) and for a specific period (dates specified).

6.5.3. That the employee is considered to be an “Essential Maritime Critical Infrastructure

Worker” in accordance with MSIB Number 11-20.

However, the Contractor must understand that the enforcement of the Maine State Governor’s

Executive Orders and acceptance of the “Essential Maritime Critical Infrastructure Worker” designation is ultimately up to the Maine State and local officials. For this reason, MARAD cannot guarantee that the Contractor’s work force will be afforded the “Essential Worker” designation and related travel requirement exemptions. In addition, the “Essential Worker” designation shall not exempt the employee of the Contractor or their subcontractors from adhering to the “Initial Testing Requirements” defined above and as required under a resulting purchase order. ALL costs associated with satisfying Maine State travel requirements (labor, travel, hotel, delays, etc.) shall be the responsibility of the Contractor.

6.6. Use of Government Materials and/or Equipment: Unless specifically stated in this PWS, the

Contractor shall not use any of the ship’s spare parts, equipment, material, etc., unless authorized in writing by the Maritime Administration’s Contracting Officer’s Representative (MARAD

COR). Any spare parts, material, etc., authorized to be provided to the Contractor shall be replaced at the Contractor’s expense.

6.7. Welders Certifications & Approved Welding Procedures: All welding shall be performed by welders possessing ABS certification for the welds they perform. Copies of all pertinent Weld

Procedure Specifications (WPS), Procedure Qualification Record (PQR) and Welder’s

Performance Qualification Record (WPQR) shall be submitted prior to the start of any welding.

6.8. Electrical Certifications: All electrical work shall be performed by a licensed commercial electrician or an individual with extensive marine electrical experience.

6.9. Piping System Material and Design Specifications: Unless specifically stated otherwise, all piping system materials provided by the Contractor (to include piping, valves, fittings, take down joints, valves, fasteners etc.) shall, at a minimum, meet the material and design specifications of

ASTM F1155-10 “Standard Practice for Selection and Application of Piping System Materials” for the service they are employed. This publication specifies the minimum piping system material, design and testing requirements of the USCG and ABS. It is available at:

http://www.astm.org/Standards/F1155.htm for approximately $60.00. All piping materials provided by the Contractor shall be equal to or better than the original material and of similar form, fit and function. Pipe hangers and supports shall be installed on all new and/or modified piping, as necessary, in accordance with ASTM F708-92(2014)-Standard Practice for Design and

Installation of Rigid Pipe Hangers.

6.10. Hydrostatic Tests: Upon completion of any piping modifications and/or installations which involved welding of fittings, the Contractor shall perform a hydrostatic test of that installation in accordance with the requirements of 46CFR 56.97-30 (which is a test pressure equal to 1.5 x MAWP for a period of at least 10 minutes, not to exceed 90% of the yield strength of the material) in the presence of the USCG, ABS and the COR.

6.11. Testing for Regulatory Agencies: All testing required to be demonstrated to the

Regulatory Agencies (ABS and USCG) shall first be satisfactorily demonstrated to the ship’s

Chief Engineer and/or Chief Mate prior to scheduling demonstration to ABS and USCG.

6.12. Disturbed Areas: All areas which are disturbed in the execution of this PWS shall be returned to a condition equal to or better than originally found. All new and disturbed areas (to include all piping, plate, foundations, brackets, etc.) shall be prepared and coated in accordance with the MARAD Standard Coatings Guidelines. Final top coat colors shall match the surrounding areas.

6.13. Regulatory Attendance Charges: All ABS Surveyor attendance charges shall be to the

Contractor’s account. Since TS State of Maine is a Public Nautical School Ship, there will be no charge for USCG Inspector attendance.

6.14. Safety: The Contractor shall adhere to all safety procedures employed aboard the ship by the Maine Maritime Academy and as detailed in the ship’s Safety Management Manual, Rev. 1.

6.15. PPE: All persons working aboard the ship shall employ proper personnel protective equipment (PPE) for the work being accomplished. At a minimum, hard hats, safety glasses and work shoes are required.

http://www.astm.org/Standards/F1155.htm

6.16. Maintain Fire Boundaries: The Contractor shall not compromise fire boundaries (fire screen doors, remote-acting watertight doors, etc.) by blocking doors open or removing doors for any extended or unattended periods.

6.17. Maintain Unobstructed Escape Routes: The Contractor shall not obstruct egress routes

(doors, hatches, scuttles, passageways, etc.) in a manner which endangers the safe entry or evacuation of personnel.

6.18. Slips, Trips and Fall Hazards: The Contractor shall take all necessary precautions to ensure that:

6.19. Areas being worked on are well lit.

6.20. Ladders, rails and deck plating are not removed without sufficiently encircling the openings with both sturdy line and yellow caution tape.

6.21. Decks are kept free of oils and greases.

6.22. Welding leads, oxy-acetylene hoses, extension cords, etc., are not strung across ladders, egress paths, etc., in a manner which creates a tripping hazard.

6.23. Safe for Hot Work: All areas requiring hot work shall be certified “safe for hot work” by a Contractor provided Marine Chemist. These areas shall be maintained as such by a Contractor provided, “Competent Person” using a certified gas monitor. The Competent Person shall hold certification for satisfactory completion of an NFPA approved course for shipyard competent persons. A copy of this certification shall be provided to the COR prior to the start of any hot work. All hot work shall require that the Contractor fill out one of the ship’s hot work permits and obtain the signature/acknowledgement of one of the ship’s officers each day that hot work is being performed. This permit is used to inform the ship’s crew of the specific hot work being done each day. Precautions shall be taken to ensure that overheads, bulkheads, decks, wiring, piping, insulation, etc. are properly protected from burning, welding, cutting or similar activities by covering them with fire retardant board or cloth as appropriate. A Contractor supplied fire watch shall be employed on each side of a bulkhead or deck where hot work is taking place. Use of the ship’s portable extinguishers is not permitted. The Contractor’s extinguishers shall be kept full and in good working condition. The fire watch must remain in place for at least ½ hour after any hot work is performed to include standing by during break and lunch periods if hot work was performed within ½ hour prior to the start of the break/lunch. All hot work must cease at least ½ hour prior to the end of the work day to provide the Contractor’s fire watch ample time to ensure that the area is safe before departing the ship. These periods are a good time to accomplish clean-up of the areas involved.

6.24. Oxygen and Acetylene: All oxygen and acetylene bottles shall be kept ashore and tied off along the dock. All oxygen and acetylene hoses shall be disconnected at their bottles at the end of each work day. Hoses used within the ship shall be coiled up such that no hoses are left passing through any doors at the end of the work day. Hoses shall be kept in good condition. Hoses deemed in need of replacement by the COR shall be replaced by the Contractor at the COR’s direction.

6.25. Welding Leads: All welding leads shall be kept in good condition. All leads shall be disconnected from their welding machines at the end of each work day. Leads used within the ship shall be coiled up such that no leads are left passing through any doors at the end of each work day. Leads deemed in need of replacement or repair by the COR shall be replaced or repaired by the Contractor at the COR’s direction.

6.26. Internal Combustion Engines: All Contractor provided internal combustion engines driving welding machines, air compressors or similar equipment, shall be kept on the pier and placed in a berm large enough to contain any oils or fuels that could potentially leak from that equipment. These berms shall be kept free of rain water in as much as is practical.

6.27. Job Safety Analysis (JSA): A JSA shall be performed (using the Contractor’s own forms) with all persons involved prior to the start of any work. A copy of all completed JSAs shall be retained aboard by the Contractor and made available to the COR, Captain and Chief Engineer, throughout the contract period.

6.28. Energy Control Plan (Lock Out/Tag Out): All work involving systems or equipment containing stored energy (such as electricity, fluids under pressure, stowed weights, and other hazards) requires that the stored energy be isolated and locked out/tagged out prior to any work being performed. The operation of any isolation device (switch, valve, etc.) and the placement and/or removal of any locks/tags, shall only be performed in the presence of, and with the written permission of, the ship’s Chief Engineer (or a crew member assigned by him). Written permission shall be executed/recorded by way of an entry in the ship’s lock out/tag out record book. Only the individual whose name/signature appears on the lock/tag may remove the lock/tag. All locks/tags associated with the work in this PWS shall be supplied by the Contractor and shall clearly identify:

6.28.1. Contractor’s Company name.

6.28.2. Date the lock or tag was placed.

6.28.3. Name/signature of the individual who performed the lock out/tag out.

6.29. Working Aloft: All persons working aloft shall do so in accordance with the ship’s working aloft procedures. Permission to go aloft shall be obtained from the Chief Mate by way of a signed working aloft permit. The Contractor shall provide their own safety harnesses.

6.35. Availability of Drawings and Technical Manuals: The Chief Engineer shall assist, in as much as possible, by providing access to any requested drawings or manuals. These drawings and manuals shall not leave the ship but may be copied on board with the written approval of the

Chief Engineer. Most of the ship’s drawings have been electronically copied to a pdf format. CD copies of available drawings shall be provided to the Contractor upon request.

6.36. Hazmat Handling and Documentation: The Contractor must recognize that ships may contain hazardous materials which require special handling. These materials may include, but are not limited to; asbestos (used in heat and electrical insulation, brake linings, deck coverings, boiler refractory, joiner work and other areas), mercury, oils, bilge water and slops containing fuel, grease and lubricating oils, lead, lead-based anti-foulants, etc. This PWS attempts to make the Contractor aware of any known HAZMAT materials and substances that may be encountered in the execution of this PWS, however, the responsibility for identifying, handling and disposing of these materials shall be the Contractors. Removal and disposal of all hazardous material or waste shall be in accordance with all applicable Federal, State, and local rules and regulations.

The Contractor shall submit documented evidence of that compliance, if applicable, within five working days after the end of the contract. These documents shall include the types and quantities of hazardous waste generated, the procedures followed for custody and disposal, and copies of receipts for same. Additional charges required for handling and disposing of hazardous materials after contract award shall not be permitted unless it is related to work authorized under the

“Supplemental Labor and Material/Subs” ITEM of this PWS.

6.37. Credit for Scrap: Unless stated otherwise in this PWS, all removed and/or scrap material generated in the execution of this PWS shall be removed from the ship, become the property of the Contractor, and be disposed of in accordance with all Federal, State and local requirements.

A credit to the Maritime Administration for the value of any scrap material removed shall be included in the Contractor’s pricing for each ITEM in this PWS which generates any scrap material and/or salvaged equipment.

6.38. Trash Removal and Clean-up: The Contractor shall remove ALL trash generated each day and sweep down each area worked on at the end of each day. Upon completion of all work in an ITEM, all affected areas shall be thoroughly cleaned to a condition equal to or better than originally found. The ship is used by the faculty and cadets of the Maine Maritime Academy and is open to the public and prospective students for tours. For this reason, it is important that all public areas remain clean and orderly. If the Contractor soils any public areas or areas of the ship outside of the areas being worked on, they shall clean them immediately.

6.39. Communications: The ship may provide the Contractor with a UHF radio and charger (if requested) for locating/contacting the COR (if aboard) or ship’s crew members throughout the work day. The radio and charger shall be signed for by the Contractor and returned at the end of the contract period.

6.40. Accuracy of Information: Dimensions and measurements in this PWS (or referenced in this PWS) are provided in good faith, however, their accuracy is not guaranteed. The Contractor is responsible for verifying the accuracy of dimensions, measurements, sizes, etc., provided in any sketches, drawings, plans and specifications, within this PWS prior to quoting, fabricating, ordering, etc., anything required in this PWS. All drawings provided or referenced in this PWS, whether they are considered “as builts” or not, are not guaranteed to be accurate. Furthermore, these drawings should not be scaled to determine the actual location of existing piping/wiring runs, etc. in hidden areas such as bulkheads and/or joinery. The Contractor shall be aware that numerous drawings and manuals represent the ship’s configuration prior to the conversion in 1997 and as such, may no longer accurately represent the ship’s current configuration. For this reason, it is important to determine whether a drawing or manual being reviewed represents the pre or post conversion configuration. In some instances, it may be necessary to combine information from both pre and post conversion drawings to determine the current configuration of a system or compartment. Material Lists provided in a drawing are only a guide and may not accurately reflect the full extent of materials required.

6.41. Daily Meeting: Prior to the start of each work day and for the purpose of informing the ship’s crew of the Contractor’s activities (location of hot work, etc.), the Contractor’s

Manager/Supervisor shall meet with the COR (if aboard) and the Ship’s Officers to discuss the work plan for that day. This meeting is a good time to discuss any special requirements and/or hazards as they relate to the execution of JSAs, lock outs/tag outs, etc.

6.42. Progress Meetings: Progress Meetings shall be scheduled as necessary depending on the availability of the Contractor, COR, Chief Engineer and Chief Mate. Prior to final invoicing for an ITEM, the Contractor shall provide the COR with a document containing the signature of the

Chief Engineer or Chief Mate, as appropriate, acknowledging receipt of deliverables and/or acceptance of equipment operational tests and/or demonstrations as required by that ITEM.

6.43. Invoicing: The COR shall maintain a spreadsheet which documents the cost and per cent completion of each Work ITEM. The Contractor and COR shall agree to these numbers prior to invoicing.

6.44. COVID Protocols: The contractor shall follow all COVID protocols in place by the

Maritime Administration, the State of Maine and Maine Maritime Academy, whenever attending the ship.

7. SPECIFIC SCOPE OF WORK: The Contractor shall engineer, design, specify, procure and install, a compatible replacement turbocharger for the ship’s main propulsion engine in accordance with all requirements of the CFRs, ABS Rules, SOLAS Regulations and this PWS. The Main
