4.7 Vessel acceptance and return may be video recorded by USG to ensure that damages that are preexisting are identified and noted, but is not required for the Government to subsequently assert any preexisting damage. The Government will return the vessel in equal condition as they were received from the contractor, to include normal wear and tear from use over the period of the lease (i.e. dock rash, plastic scratches). The contractor shall document any damage due to neglect of Government personnel, during the check in process and report them to the Contracting Officer.

During the period of this contract, the contractor shall conduct all scheduled and routine maintenance and repair. The contractor shall identify to the USG the required periodicity and reporting process necessary to report craft operational hour to facilitate scheduling of required maintenance. Unless the contractor can prove with supporting documentation that repairs required to maintain the sea-worthiness of leased vessel were due to negligence or willful damages caused by USG, the contractor shall bear the cost associated with routine maintenance and upkeep. If repairs are caused by the negligence or willful damages of USG personnel, then USG will be responsible for those repairs. The contractor shall provide supporting documentation proving the amount claimed, including receipts, invoices, quotes, etc. Government personnel may conduct various repairs and routine maintenance to vessel systems with the coordination and approval of the contractor. Additionally the USG shall not be held accountable for any subsequent/additional damage to the contracted vessel resulting from component failure not addressed for correction by the contractor. (Example:

being failed water pump not being repaired/replaced could cause engine over heat and damage the engine/Leaking oil pressure switch causes low oil pressure and damages/causes engine failure)

Non-exhaustive Examples of Ordinary Wear and Tear:

(i) Thinning of paint due to the action of time and elements;

(ii) Minor scuffing of paint

(iii) Rust or corrosion due to contact with sea water and air;

(iv) Fouling of hull by growth of marine organisms.

(v) Routine wearing of vessel's internal structures (i.e. wearing of carpet due to normal foot traffic) ordinary wear and tear shall not include damage to the vessel’s deck, internals and hull that results from the charterer’s usage of the vessel or otherwise (i.e. spilling of motor oil on white carpet).

5.3 Repair Timeline: If the vessel is inoperable due to events not caused by the USG, i.e., a mechanical or vessel deficiency, then the contractor shall exercise good faith to repair the vessel as soon as possible. If the vessel cannot be fully repaired within 72-hours of contractor notification, the Contracting Officer shall be notified. At this point the contractor will be afforded 2 days beyond the 72 hours to complete repairs or locate a replacement vessel for use by the Government at no extra cost. The replacement vessel shall meet or exceed the minimum specifications listed in Section 2.0, unless approved otherwise by the Contracting Officer.

5.4 Underway Repairs: In the event of emergency repairs or equipment failure, Government personnel will attempt to trouble shoot and repair the vessel to get her back to port. Government personnel will perform said repairs regardless of contact with the vendor. During vessel operation, USG personnel will conduct underway checks. Please see PWS Attachment 2 – Underway Log.

5.5 Any alternate or replacement vessel proposed by the contractor shall be deemed by the Government as technically acceptable. Technical acceptance is defined as a vessel meeting the Governments stated minimum requirements of PWS paragraph 2.0. The Government reserves the right to conduct a visual inspection.
