Specification Paragraph Reference: Items 13 and 14

Question: Items 13 and 14 specify Federal Equipment Services is the Tech Rep. I just spoke with them, and they do not provide that service. Can you please let me know the contact information for the appropriate Tech Rep?

Coast Guard Response: Federal Equipment Co. (partner of Fairbanks Morse Defense) is the OEM for the capstan (model 4A0100) and the hangar door (model HH3000). Federal Equipment Co. has provided tech rep services in the past for these same work items. It is the vendor’s responsibility to coordinate services with the appropriate tech reps as designated per the specification.

Specification Paragraph Reference: WORK ITEM 17

Question: In terms of the SqFt, using table 1, 1-16-01-L Passageway as an example, is 10SqFt requiring repair and sealing? The note states resealing deck outside of Armory door; would this be a greater area for resealing?

Or is the 10SqFt the area for total re-sealing? 3.2 states 5% will require repairs will be on the 10SqFt so 0.5SqFt of repairs required?

Coast Guard Response: The areas listed in the column of Table 1 of Work Item 17 titled “Total Compartment SQ FT” are the areas that require resealing in each compartment. Per paragraph

3.1.9 of WI 17, the contractor must identify areas of the deck requiring repairs and document via CFR. For bidding purposes, the contractor should estimate that 5% of the total area in each compartment requires repair. Using 1-16-01-L PASSAGEWAY as an example, the total compartment area (10SqFt) requires resealing and .5 SqFt of that 10SqFt will require repairs.

Specification Paragraph Reference: WORK ITEM 18

Question: As not flight deck, can you confirm if steel shot can be used?
