Amendment Number A00002

14. (Cont’d)

Solicitation will be extended to Friday 18 December 2020. The submission for questions has passed, NO questions will be addressed.

Question 1: Would it be possible for us to attend ship check on a local vessel.

Answer 1: Yes, a tour will be held at USCG Station Lake Worth Inlet on December 14, 2020 between the hours of 0700 - 1430. To schedule a tour, please contact Contract Specialist (KS)

Bernice Jones via e-mail: Bernice.L.Jones@uscg.mil by 0100 on Friday 12/11/2020. KS will provide instructions to all request submitted. No request for vessel tours will be granted after

December 14, 2020; if you fail to contact the KS by the specified time stated above request will not be answered.

Question 2. I would like to request a clarification on Work item 23.

3. Requirements:

3.2 Preservation. The Contractor shall preserve the bilge surfaces listed in Table 1 in accordance with the references listed in section 2.

Will you please confirm that this paragraph is “Paint/Coatings” related and does not address hull plating replacement?

Based on SFLC Std Spec 0000 I believe this to be the case, however, I am concerned because of “Work Item 23 paragraph 3.4 Surface Preservation” – This could either be similar to 3.2, or imply that 3.2 is not related to coatings.

Answer 2: Work Item 23 is only to preserve the lazzarette so only Paint/Coatings related. No hull plating renewal required for this Work Item.

Question 3. We are finalizing the Docking/Blocking Plan as well as the Alternate

Docking/Blocking Plan to facilitate Work Item 17 Underwater Body Preservation 100% in

SOLICITATION 45772 PONCE DE LEON.

Minor modifications are required to:

USCG Primary Blocking Plan Drawing 45-RB-M-084-002 (Sheet 2) – Cyan in image and/or

USCG Alternate Blocking Plan Drawing 45-RB-M 084-002 (Sheet 3) – Yellow in image mailto:Bernice.L.Jones@uscg.mil

There is a common interference with the aft most keel blocks in the two arrangements (between

FR 02 and FR 03). There is also a common interference with the forward most side stands (at approximately FR 12).

Common interferences are indicated by Red Circles below.

In order to develop “Custom” lifting/blocking plans and the associated calculations, we need to know the Longitudinal Center of Gravity (LCG) of the vessel. I could not locate the LCG within the documentation provided. Will you please provide the vessel LCG at your earliest convenience?

Answer 3: Please refer to the following attachments that contain all weights needed to create an alternate blocking plan: Attachment 1 45772 weights for blocking AND Attachment 2 45772 45

RBM hydrostats.
