http://www.publications.usace.army.mil/USACEPublications/EngineerManuals

4.7.5.1 Asbestos Containing Material (ACM)

Vessel is known to contain ACM. Contractor is required to perform all necessary inspections, tests and analysis of materials that may contain ACM prior to disturbing those areas referenced in the resultant contract and specifications.

If testing indicates unspecified lead-based coating abatement is required, the Contractor shall issue a CFRPT IAW Paragraph 4.6.3.

4.8 Growth Work/New Work

It is the Government's intention to ensure that, where it is determined that the work will be performed by the private sector, any growth or new work identified during the overhaul will be awarded to the initial Prime Contractor only if a fair and reasonable price can be negotiated for such work. If a fair and reasonable price cannot be negotiated for the above actions, the Government may, at its election, pursue any of the following courses of action:

(1) defer the work to a repair period after completion of the instant contract.

(2) accomplish the work using Government employees during the original overhaul period.

(3) conduct a separate, competitive procurement for growth or new work. Performance will be during the original overhaul period. The initial prime Contractor and other capable contractors may enter this competition. If other than the initial prime Contractor is successful, the successful Contractor may engage in and complete the work while the ship is undergoing repairs for the base contract.

This requirement does not preclude the Government from using Government employees to perform new or growth work at any time during the availability provided the use of Government employees is in the best interests of the Government.

When growth work is incorporated into the Job Order via a bilateral modification, the Contractor is expected to perform the work within the POP identified in paragraph 1.3. The Contractor shall revise the Production Schedule accordingly no later than the following weekly production schedule update meeting.

4.9 Corrective Action Plan

If the projected completion date for any work task is unlikely to be met, the government may require the Contractor provide a corrective action plan that details what additional workforce and/or resources will be utilized to resolve the resulting schedule delays.

4.10 Final Inspection

Upon completion of all repairs and removal of all contractor equipment, the COR and the Contractor are to inspect all areas of the vessel to ensure work tasks were completed per the contract, the vessel is clean and free of all Contractor-generated debris, and all damaged coatings are repaired per the coating schedule.

Safety Precautions

Specifications NOTE - Only one capstan windlass unit can be removed from the ship at a time for repair.

For each capstan windlass unit repair requirements are as follows:

Prior to removal of capstan windlass unit, contractor shall disconnect and remove anchor from anchor chain and store securely in lay down area. Anchor chain shall be moved out of the way of windlass wildcat and secured on deck.

CHECK POINT – Contractor shall notify COR of anchor and chain securing and inspect with ship’s crew for adequacy before proceeding with work.

Mark capstan windlass unit to ensure re-installation will occur in the same location. All hydraulic lines and equipment shall be immediately capped and protected after capstan windlass removal to ensure foreign debris does not enter or contaminate the hydraulic system or equipment.

Transfer capstan windlass to a shop capable of performing the overhaul.

Remove and store the capstan windlass hydraulic motors under protection in a secure location. Disassemble, clean, and inspect the windlass, wildcat assembly, and gear.
