AMENDMENT 2 QUESTIONS RECEIVED

1. Amendment 01 clarified that the ship will be located at the Columbia River Maritime

Museum during this availability. It appears that the pier will not be able to accommodate

Heavy equipment that may be required to accomplish the repairs. Will the area immediately west of the museum or the parking in front be made available for this purpose?

Yes, you should be able to use part of the pier as well. In the past, when crane services are required contractors have had to arrange for a barge crane based on the pier limitations.

2. WI-1: Tanks (Aviation Fuel Service), Clean and Inspect, Paragraph 4.1 advises that Ship’s

Force will pump the tank down to the maximum extent possible with the installed pumping system. The table in 1.1 advises that the tank will contain 26 gallons of JP-5 at low suction.

Paragraph 3.1.4 directs contractor to handle up to 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel as an interference. Please advise as to what type/quantity of existing fluids the contractors are to include in their bid.

The contractor will be handling JP-5 and DFM as interferences as per the spec. We will not limit the cutter to a certain amount of JP-5 or DFM based on their mission requirements leading up to the availability, hence the up to 5,000 gallons. You should bid on the 5,000 gallons.

3. WI-2: Tanks (MP Fuel Service), Clean And Inspect, Paragraph 4.1 advises that Ship’s

Force will pump the tank down to the maximum extent possible with the installed pumping system. The table in 1.1 advises that the tank(s) will contain 190 gallons each or 380 gallons total of diesel fuel at low suction. Paragraph 3.1.4.1 directs contractor to remove up to

5,000 gallons of diesel fuel. Please advise as to what amount of existing fluids contractors are to include in their bid.

We will not limit the cutter to a certain amount of JP-5 or DFM based on their mission requirements leading up to the availability, hence the up to 5,000 gallons.

You should bid on 5,000 gallons.

4. WI-3: Tanks (Potable Water), Clean and Inspect. Table 1.1 advises that the tank(s) will contain 360 gallons of potable water at low suction. Paragraph 3.4 directs contractor to remove and dispose of fluids and residues. May the contractor assume that the tanks will be at low suction? If not, please advise as to what quantity of existing fluids contractors are to include in their bid.

Yes, the tanks will be at the low suction point level.

5. WI-4: Tanks (MP Fuel Stowage And Overflow), Clean And Inspect. Paragraph 4.1 advises that Ship’s Force will pump the tank down to the maximum extent possible with the installed pumping system. The table in 1.1 advises that the tanks will contain 962 gallons of diesel fuel at low suction. Please note the low suction for 4-96-3-F is left blank.

Paragraph 3.1.4 directs contractor to remove and dispose of up to 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel. Please clarify as to what quantity of existing fluids contractors are to include in their bid.

We will not limit the cutter to a certain amount of JP-5 or DFM based on their mission requirements leading up to the availability, hence the up to 5,000 gallons.

You should bid on 5,000 gallons.

In most instances the cutter will pump all tanks down to the lowest suction point as required. With that said, we leave the up to 5,000 gallons statement in the spec to cover the cutter if they are not able to pump certain tank(s) down before the start of the availability. All P/W tanks should be pumped down to the lowest suction point by ship’s force prior to the start of the work.

6. This drawing: NAVSEA Drawing 803-1385866, Rev E, Penetration, Bulkhead and Deck was not included on the disc. Could you provide this drawing?

The Coast Guard does not have permission to share this drawing.

7. Are the exact same make and model Anemometer’s replacing the existing units? From the documentation they appear to be Belfort Instrument Co. Model 120. (Work Item 7 –

Windspeed Transmitter (Anemometer), Renew?)

Yes, both anemometers are the same type of unit.

8. Are only the Anemometer’s being replaced or are there additional components that require renewal (Wire, enclosures mounting plate…etc).

Section 3.4.2 Calibration calls for accuracy tests prior to disassembly and cleaning as well as sending the meters to a certified calibration facility.

Are the GFM Anemometer’s new or refurbished? Have the GFM Anemometer’s been calibrated already? This falls under section 3.4 Testing, Post Installation. It does not appear the calibration can be completed after installation.

. We replace the anemometers every four years with refurbished “A” condition anemometers. Both new/”A” conditioned anemometers will come calibrated already.
