STATEMENT OF WORK

M/V BENYAURD

Falk Gearbox Work

Purpose:

The M/V Benyaurd requires the overhaul of both main engine gear units and the replacement of the bearing cartridges in the 4 main engine pillar block shaft bearings. In October the Falk gear units were inspected, and it was recommended that both units must be overhauled. The Port unit measurements were above the maximum tolerance specifications and has metallic shavings in the oil. The Starboard unit readings were below the minimum specs and has zero backlash. All clutch assemblies and forward/reverse drums are almost 15 years old, including the spare sets. Also, the shaft bearings are running at higher-than-normal operating temperatures, especially when the vessel is in tow during the summer heat. All parts to be replaced shall be replaced with OEM parts unless otherwise allowed by the COR/government representative.

Equipment information:

· Gear Unit – Falk 1635 MRSDC-E (coupled to 12-cylinder EMD 645E7 turbo diesel)

· Shaft bearing cartridge part number – Cooper 01EBC800EXAT (updated Cooper part number) (The original part number per the blueprint is: 01BCP-800-EXIP)

Requirements of Service:

· Travel to Vicksburg, MS to remove gear shaft assemblies from both MV Benyaurd Falk gear units and transport to facility to repair as needed.

· Once the gear box is open and the bottom casing is accessible, the bore tolerances shall be inspected. Depending on the results, the casing could potentially need to be bored. The determination will be made on whether the repair can be done in-frame or have the lower casing removed from the vessel. The cost of this is contingent on the outcome of the bore inspection and which scenario is required to complete the repair. If additional costs are needed to complete the repair, that cost shall be quoted as a proposed contract modification to the government representative. No additional work for additional contract cost shall begin until a contract modification is issued by the MVK Contracting Office.
