042-4 Alternate Items

Where boat components and equipment are specified by brand name or manufacturer and model number and followed by “or equal”, such identification is intended to be descriptive, not restrictive, and is intended to indicate the required characteristics of the product. The Contractor may propose the use of other products which are equal to the specified make and model products. The following general requirements shall form the basis for determining the equality of alternate products unless additional specific or alternate requirements are designated within the applicable sections of this Specification:

a. The major attributes of form, fit, function, interface, and material of an alternate item shall not degrade the performance of the system within which it is used nor the boat as a whole.

The alternate item shall require no more space or volume than the designated item for installation, operation, or maintenance. The alternate item shall weigh no more than the designated item. The connection fittings required to incorporate the alternate item into a system shall be identical to those necessary to incorporate the specified item. The principles of operation of the alternate item shall be the same as those of the designated item (i.e., hydraulic cylinders shall not be used in lieu of springs, etc.). Input power, capacity, and other operating requirements for the alternate item shall be no greater than those required by the designated item. Output power, capacity, and other performance parameters of the alternate item shall be no less than those required for the designated item and not so much greater than those of the designated item as to require an increased capacity of the system within which the item is installed.

b. The materials of construction of the alternate item shall be the same as those of the designated item unless the Contractor can demonstrate to the Government that the proposed alternate material will not adversely affect performance or service life of the item, the system within which it is installed, or the boat as a whole.

c. The reliability and maintainability of an alternate item shall be equal to or better than the specified item. The Contractor shall provide evidence of the equality of the reliability and maintainability of the alternate item to the specified item. This evidence may include such things as results of testing, service histories, documentation of successful use in similar applications, planned maintenance requirements, etc. Where the reliability and maintainability of the specified item has been established by testing, the government may require that the alternate item undergo similar testing to demonstrate its reliability and maintainability. Such testing, if required, shall be at the Contractor's expense.

d. An alternate item shall conform to the same industry or government specifications or standards as the specified item. Where a specified item has been approved or certified by a regulatory or testing agency, such as USCG or Underwriters' Laboratories, the alternate item shall also be approved or certified. The cost of demonstrating compliance with specifications or standards, or of obtaining approval or certification, shall be borne by the Contractor.

e. If the specified item is one with established logistic support, any alternative item shall have equivalent logistic support. If equivalent logistic support has not been established for the alternate item, the Contractor shall bear the expense of establishing equivalent support.

Logistic support shall include, as applicable: maintenance planning and analysis; training and training support, including training equipment, curricula, and instruction materials;

supply support; support equipment such as special tools and test equipment; technical documentation including technical manuals, Product Technical Description (PTD), Planned Maintenance System (PMS), Technical Repair Standards (TRS), and software documentation; computer resource support; facilities for maintenance and training; unique packaging, handling, storage, and transportation requirements; and human engineering considerations.

The Government will not accept alternative items for the brand name or manufacturer and model specified for the following items:

236-2 Outboard Engines

(TDP).

070-6 Seakeeping, Dynamic Stability, and Maneuverability

The boat shall be able to operate safely at all speeds up to Sea State 2. The hull shall be a deep V design to mitigate accelerations at high speeds.

The boat shall be safe and controllable at all speeds and under all loading conditions specified herein. Safe and controllable requires that boat orientation, motions, and associated accelerations do not pose a hazard to the crew or passengers that cannot be avoided by good seamanship and boat handling, and that the direction of travel is under the command of the coxswain.

The boat shall be dynamically stable (oscillatory and nonoscillatory) at all operational loading conditions and speeds.

See Sections 094 for trials requirements.

070-7 Installation of Equipment, Machinery, and Materials

All equipment and materials shall be new. Systems and components shall be selected for durability, longevity, safety, and ruggedness. Components shall be selected to maximize the use of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products and commonality between hulls. Systems and components shall be installed with proper tools and aligned for reliable operation.

Unless otherwise approved by the Government, OEM recommendations for design and installation of their products into the boat shall be followed.

Connecting piping and wiring shall be run to minimize exposure to weather and bilge water.

Bulkhead and deck penetrations shall be as close as practicable to the equipment being served, preferably by direct connection through the adjacent deck or bulkhead.

Equipment, components, wiring and piping shall be supported clear of the bilge to the maximum extent practicable.

All systems shall be free from leaks and safety hazards.

All piping shall be cleaned to a degree of cleanliness that results in a surface that is reasonably free of contamination and any remaining residue on the surface does not interfere with system operation or damage system components.

Foundations and brackets for equipment shall be configured to provide access for cleaning, painting, preservation, and maintenance, and to prevent accumulation of water, dirt, and foreign material.

Protection of personnel against operating hazards shall be provided. Shafting, couplings, gears, flexible shafts, and similar items shall have adequate guards installed for protection of personnel.

Such protective guards shall be removable without dismantling the machinery surrounded. Guards shall be as light as is consistent with required protection and strength. Guards shall be of sufficient strength to be used as steps or hand holds if located where such use may be anticipated.

Protective guards or insulation shall be installed to prevent contact with equipment where surface temperatures exceed 200°F. If surfaces exceed 140°F in the proximity of controls or manual actuators requiring manipulation by personnel during normal operation, protective guards or insulation shall be installed to prevent contact. For other surfaces exceeding 140°F, caution signs shall be installed.

Electrical equipment shall have non-conductive guards, screens, protective barriers or be insulated to protect personnel from contacting hazardous voltages or exposed terminals. Male plug and receptacle connectors shall be wired to the load side of the circuit to ensure that no voltage is present when not connected.

Equipment shall be protected against the hazard of personnel brushing against or being thrown against the equipment, particularly under heavy sea conditions, and inadvertently causing damage to exposed components or resulting in maladjustment of exposed functional controls such as push buttons, knobs, and switches. Protection shall be provided by equipment arrangement or design or by installation of enclosures, screens, or guardrails. All sharp edges exposed to personnel shall be dressed, ground or radiused to avoid injury to personnel.

070-8 Configuration Management

To achieve ready replacement of parts, the Contractor shall standardize on selection of equipment, fittings, and fabrication methods within all boats under the Contract.
