Will the government consider deleting Work Item 38, Spud Wells, Inspect?

USCGC KENNEBEC DD FY21 RFQ NO: 70Z085-20-Q- P4500300

Q: The work item directs the contractor to “power tool clean all affected surfaces to “bare metal”, in lieu of using abrasive blasting; and feather edges of existing intact coating to the prepared areas in order to provide a smooth transition to the new paint”. The contractor has no way of determining the amount of each void that will have to be power tool cleaned to bare metal without prior inspection. Industry other government entities use 20% total surface area as a standard when bidding on partial preservation in this manner. Will the government agree to using 20% total surface area for power tool cleaning to bare metal for bidding purposes in this work item?

A: WI 43 Accessible Voids Preserve Partial states up to 33%, will not go down to 20% for bidding purposes, and then possibly issue a CR if more than 20 less than 33.

Abatement directs the contractor to “perform Lead-Based Paint (LBP) and Asbestos-Containing

Material (ACM) abatement up to 300 sq ft when LBP or ACM is discovered during the performance of WIs within this Spec package”.

Work Item O-055 Lead-Based Paint, Perform Spot Abatement directs the contractor to “perform spot abatement of up to 300 sq ft of lead-based paint (LBP) when discovered through inspections in way of repairs performed under other work item in this specification package”.

Since the same type of abatement is being completed in both work items, can Work Item O-059 be deleted?

Materials, BM-61.

A: Both Drawing and BM is attached.

Q: Work Item D-061, paragraph 3.3.3 directs the contractor to, “weld repair (clad) and/or renew the chalked out sections of plating, a total of approximately 55 square feet and 10 linear feet of support structure”.

The government needs to provide quantities for bidding purposes. The full extent of the repair will not be known until after the UT inspection and the government decides what type and how much repair is required. No one will clad weld 55 square feet. That much clad welding requires the plate to be replaced.

USCGC KENNEBEC DD FY21 RFQ NO: 70Z085-20-Q- P4500300

How much weld repair (clad welding) and how much plate replacement should the contractor bid on for this item?

A: The amount of Clad Welding Is for 3 area's in the same compartment equaling up to 55 SQ

FT. The amount of plate replacement and the amount of clad welding will not be determined until after U/W Body inspection.
