QUESTION:

Paragraph 3.1.5 directs us to fabricate and install a cofferdam. Since this is a dry-docking availability, is this requirement necessary?

DEFINITE/OPTIONAL ITEM NO. PARA NO.

TITLE: various

The schedule of services lists both Item 53 (Chain Locker, Preserve 100%) and 54 (Chain Lockers, Preserve – Partial) as definite items. Shouldn’t these be listed as option items?

The same question applies to Items 55 and 56.

Attachment 1_Schedule of Supplies and Services

The Section B provided by the government lists the following items as “Definite” which directs the contractor to complete them without any further direction from the government; Item 53, 54, 55 and 56. It makes no sense to Preserve the Chain Lockers or Dirty Oil and Waste Tanks both Partially and at 100%.

Will the government change the Schedule of Supplies and Services to make these items all “OPTIONS”?

Answer: Work Items Item 53, 54, 55 and 56 were mislabeled as Definite, Corrected in REV-2

Question No. 006

DEFINITE/OPTIONAL ITEM NO. 1 PARA NO. 3.3.2

Paragraph 3.3.2 directs the contractor to accomplish all required tasks within 10 calendar days of the start of the availability”. Paragraph 3.2 directs the contractor to abrasive blast and prime the u/w body of the vessel within 10 days of lifting the vessel. Paragraph 3.3.2 is not obtainable and should be deleted from the work item.

ANSWER: The work identified in 3.3.2 and 3.2 must be completed by the end of the 10th calendar day from when the contract begins. The 10th calendar day is the deadline regardless. 3.3.2 Must be completed “WITHIN” that same time period as well.

DEFINITE/OPTIONAL ITEM NO. 30 PARA NO. 3.2

Tanks (Ballast), Preserve, Partial

Paragraph 3.2 directs the contractor to “Power tool clean all affected surfaces to “bare metal”, in lieu of abrasive blasting”. Since Ballast Tank Preservation 100% is Work Item 29, how much of the ballast tanks interior surfaces is the contractor to mechanically clean to bare metal? The industry standard is normally up to 20%. If more than 20% of the tank interior surfaces require to be taken to bare metal, abrasive blasting of the tank at 100% is normally warranted.

ANSWER:

Work items 29 & 30 are Optional WIs (Corrected in REV-2), based on CFR associated with Clean & Inspect. Partial will use pwr tool method to clean effected surfaces to bare metal and feather out to coating that is well adhering and coat IAW WI-30 and SFLC std spec 6310.

If WI 29 is activated then KTR shall prepare and coat all tank interior surfaces (including internal surfaces of manhole cover(s), manhole cover hull ring(s) extending outward to the weld line that ties the hull ring into the tank plating on the tank exterior) using the system specified for " Tanks and Voids, Ballast Tanks; Option I or II " in SFLC Std Spec 6310, Appendix B (Cutter and Boat Interior Painting Systems).

Table 1, sub-paragraph 3.3.4 in paragraph 3.2 of WI 61 directs us to provide duty section berthing, but does not indicate how many males and how many females we need to provide berthing for. Please provide this information.

ANSWER: -

Work Item 61 (TABLE) 3.3.3 states "Duty section berthing: 1 male, 1 female. Duty section berthing shall be provided for during disruption of berthing."

WILLIAM TATE has a 2 person duty section so the KTR will need to provide 2ea single berthing rooms. It doesn't matter if male or female occupies them as long as they are separate rooms.
