Question 12)

Work Item: 11 Paragraph/Section:

Title: Shaft Straightening

Are the shafts to be straightened over the entirety of the arrangement, or just individually tail shafts only or line shafts only?

How bent is the contractor to assume the shafts are going to be, or is this item just an inspection and straightening will be subject to CCO and additional pricing?

Answer: 1) A designated shaft in its entirety. 2) We don’t know if the shaft is bent or not.

It’s a standard recurring work item that we do every dry dock. It’s an option item, so in the event the shaft needs straightening, we can turn it on. The contractor needs to price the shafts individually as if they need to make corrections.

Question 13)

Work Item: 12 Paragraph/Section:

Title: Sleeves

Is the government going to provide enough material for both sides or just one?

Answer: 1) The RWI says renew the sleeve(s) on both propeller shafts. 2) The contractor will need final machining. The ID's need to be matched to the shaft, the OD's are machined after final assembly to achieve runout requirements. The lengths may not need to be final machined, but they may have to be, needs to be checked/verified

Work Item: 10 Paragraph/Section:

Title: Shaft Insulation

References are for tail shaft and line shaft, but work item references propeller shaft. Is the contractor to price insulating the tail and line shaft as one in its entirety, or per each?
