• Other ITEMs in this SOW serve to perform various machinery, equipment and/or structural repairs, removals, and/or installations in addition to various coating repairs.

ERRORS/OMISSIONS

In the event that there are found to be errors or omissions in these Specifications or in the accompanying

Drawings that would have an adverse effect upon the completion of this contract and/or delivery to the

OWNER of a product that is complete, functional, and seaworthy, the CONTRACTOR shall call attention to such errors or omissions in his bid package.

Minor design errors or omissions shall be properly addressed by the CONTRACTOR in the normal course of the contract performance. Major design errors or omissions shall be resolved by Change Orders.

SPECIFICATIONS IN EXCESS

Although the Drawings & Specifications contemplate a project, which will be completed in accordance with the requirements of the several regulatory bodies referred to herein, in certain respects the Contract

Drawings and Specifications may be in excess of such requirements and must not be changed except on written approval of the OWNER (Reference Section 1.7).

If the CONTRACTOR is of the opinion that any aspect of the Contract Drawings and Specifications are so stringent, that his Company is unwilling or incapable of completing the Project within those parameters;

it is the CONTRACTOR's obligation to provide written notification of such a conflict to the OWNER in his bid package. If such notification is not included with the bid package, it is held that the CONTRACTOR agrees with and will complete the project in compliance with the specifications as set forth.

MANUFACTURER'S REPS

Whether or not it is specifically stated in these Specifications, when it is required by the equipment manufacturer or by the specialized technical nature of the installation, and/or when work is outside the normal scope of the CONTRACTOR work force, the CONTRACTOR is to provide the services of

Manufacturers' Reps for such assistance and expertise as is required for the proper installation, on-line testing, calibration, adjustments, etc. of CONTRACTOR Furnished and GF equipment.

CERTIFICATION/DOCUMENTATION

The CONTRACTOR shall, in a timely manner, provide the OWNER with information and certifications as may be required for the re-documentation and re-certification of the vessel.

Bid Closing, are to be considered as part of the CONTRACT. Any amendment to such requirements or any new laws, regulations, rules, or conventions that come into force after Bid Closing, shall be treated as a change to the CONTRACT if not otherwise covered by these Specifications and Drawings.

GENERAL VESSEL DESCRIPTION

The vessel serves as a training ship for the United States Merchant Marine Academy and a back-up and supplementary training ship for the six state maritime academies. The vessel is normally berthed at the

United States Merchant Marine Academy located in Kings Point, NY. The United States Merchant Marine

Academy is a federal service academy that educates and graduates leaders of exemplary character who are committed to serve the national security, marine transportation, and economic needs of the United

States as licensed Merchant Marine Officers and commissioned officers in the Armed Forces.

Before being redesigned to serve as a training vessel for students, the Kings Pointer served as a solid rocket booster recovery vessel for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), retrieving solid rocket boosters following space shuttle launches.

The vessel was transferred to MARAD at the end of the space shuttle program and is berthed at Kings

Point under a Memorandum of Agreement that maintains vessel readiness for MARAD missions at a reduced cost to the government, while also supporting training for individuals who wish to begin a seafaring career. The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy ensures that such people are available to the nation as shipboard officers and as leaders in the transportation field who will meet the challenges of the present and the future.

CONTRACT AND GUIDANCE DRAWINGS

GENERAL

The Contractor shall submit DWGS, permits or other correspondence required by regulation for review and approval. Submittals will commence upon signing a Contract with the successful bidder. The

Contractor is tasked to keep the Owner and the operator apprised of the status of such submittals.

EXISTING VESSEL INFORMATIONAL DRAWINGS

Existing vessel informational drawings are available from the Chief Engineer and should be requested in writing if required. It should be understood that the vessel has been in service for a number of years and had a number of conversions; therefore, interested bidders should be cautioned that the accuracy of the existing vessel drawings cannot be verified, and bidders should be specific about what information they are seeking from the existing drawings. Requested drawings will be forward to all interested bidders.

Drawings will be provided in electronic format when available. The OWNER does not warrant the accuracy of these plans and requires the CONTRACTOR to verify by physical ship check any and all of the existing plans prior to submitting their bid.

INTERFERENCES/ACCESS

The elimination of all equipment interferences; and the location or relocation of machinery, pumps, piping, wiring, ductwork and misc. equipment so that proper access for operation and maintenance can be readily achieved is the CONTRACTOR responsibility. It is essential that the CONTRACTOR is aware of his obligation in this regard. The CONTRACTOR is responsible to see that ALL INSTALLATIONS are arranged, constructed, and/or relocated in "good shipbuilding practice" and that they adhere to the requirements of the CFR. The CONTRACTOR and the COR are mutually responsible for the maintenance of ongoing communications, inspections, and approvals as construction progresses.

HEADROOM

Clear headroom in accommodations, working spaces, public spaces, passageways, and toilet and shower spaces shall be as high as possible but shall not be less than 7 feet 0 inches. Clear headroom under local points such as ducts, piping, lights, girders, etc. shall not be less than 6 feet 8 inches in the above spaces and will be the subject of individual, case by case, written approval from the COR. In way of double berths, clear headroom (ceiling height) shall be not less than 7 feet 0 inches above the finished deck.

ACCESS & MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS

GENERAL

The structure and layout of any added machinery and equipment shall be designed and constructed to permit ready access to all parts for operation, inspection, maintenance and repair without removal or disturbance of other structure or equipment. Ladders, doors, manholes, scuttles, bolted plates, etc. shall be provided as required for access. If conversion structure or installations affect access to existing machinery and equipment, satisfactory steps shall be taken to re-route reasonable access.

ASBESTOS /VENDORS/SUBCONTRACTORS

ASBESTOS ABATEMENT

The CONTRACTOR shall, as part of this Contract, comply with the most current edition of all federal, state, county, and city codes and ordinances as they apply to the location(s) in which the work is performed.

Note: The OWNER hereby informs the CONTRACTOR that the existing vessel Training Ship KINGS POINTER is an asbestos free ship. “Contractor is responsible for doing his own ACM testing. Ship is deemed ACM free”

VENDOR LISTING

The CONTRACTOR shall provide the COR with a listing of major Vendors and Subcontractors being employed on the contract. The list shall include name; address; telephone and fax numbers; e-mail address; purchase order or contract number; and an equipment or service description. This list will give a baseline for the entry of the vessel as converted into the OWNER electronic contact system.

An initial Vendor/Contractor List shall be provided not more than 10 days after contract signing and shall be updated, as required, every 10 days thereafter over the course of the contract.

ACCESS TO YARD/VESSEL/DOCUMENTS (IF APPLICABLE)

ACCESS TO YARD/VESSEL

The Government Representatives (COR) shall be afforded access to the CONTRACTOR Shipyard, the COR’s offices, and the vessel 24 hours a day for the duration of the Contract and for a reasonable time after delivery or until such time as the vessel departs the CONTRACTOR facility for her home port (if applicable).

ACCESS TO DOCUMENTS

The OWNER and/or COR shall have ready access during normal working hours to all documentation concerning the vessel including but not necessarily limited to: Drawings; Specifications; Technical

Information; Engineering Calculations; Schedules; Test & Inspection Reports; Relevant Subcontractor

Documents; Regulatory Body Reports; Approvals; Recommendations; and the Contractor’s Detailed

Contract Estimate.

INSPECTIONS

GENERAL

All materials and workmanship shall be subject to inspection by the COR, ABS, the USCG and other regulatory bodies having jurisdiction. All inspection and observation of tests by the COR will be performed in such a manner as not to unnecessarily delay the contract work.

The COR shall promptly approve all work and material conforming to the requirements of this

Specification and shall promptly reject all work and materials, which do not conform. Such rejected work or material shall be satisfactorily corrected.

SCHEDULING & ATTENDANCE

The CONTRACTOR is responsible for scheduling and presenting all completed work for Acceptance

Inspections and for giving written ADEQUATE NOTICE of 24 HOURS to the COR and other required inspection agencies that such work is complete, has been passed by the CONTRACTOR QA, and is ready for such inspection. Inspections shall, when possible, be scheduled and accomplished during normal workdays on the CONTRACTOR Day shift.

The COR will make every effort to maintain communications with the parties involved and to report to the inspection site per agreed schedule. If the COR is unable to keep the schedule, he shall notify the

CONTRACTOR as soon as possible and reschedule for a mutually agreeable time. Failure of the COR to attend an inspection does not constitute an acceptance of the work. Inspections by ABS, the Coast Guard or other agency do not eliminate these requirements for inspection and acceptance by the COR.

PREPARATIONS

Work presented for inspection shall be complete in all respects, clean, free of debris, scrap, lines, welding wire ends and all temporary gear. Reasonable accommodations shall have been made for access, lighting, and fresh air supply in advance of the inspection party.

COVERINGS

Prior to the application/installation of paint, deck covering, insulation, sheathing, joiner work, ceilings, etc., all structure and weld that is to be covered will be given final inspection and will be signed off on by the COR. It must be clearly understood by the CONTRACTOR that the COR has the right and option to require removal of any or all coverings for inspection in areas that have not been previously inspected and passed. This requirement makes it essential that weekend and night shift foremen, for both

CONTRACTOR and Subcontractors, are in close communication with the QA Department and Project

Manager.

RE-INSPECTIONS

Any welding, burning, heat shrinking, etc. which is performed as rework, repair, or on change orders after an inspection has been completed, may require (at the COR's option) the removal of any or all coverings for re-inspection of plate, welds, etc. This requirement will further emphasize the necessity of a formal

QA Inspection process and the necessity for close communications between CONTRACTOR and COR. An initial inspection in no way negates the requirement for re-inspection if an area is reworked in any manner.

COMPARTMENT COMPLETIONS

Living spaces, workspaces and control/machinery spaces shall be inspected and certified complete by the

COR and the CONTRACTOR representative. A compartment shall not be considered accepted until the inspection is complete, deficiencies are corrected, and the COR and CONTRACTOR have signed off on the space. At this time, so far as is possible, the compartment shall be secured, and no further work shall be conducted within the space unless approved by the mutual consent of the COR and CONTRACTOR.

The intent of the foregoing paragraph is to guarantee that the OWNER will receive, at delivery, a fully operational vessel which is immediately capable of entering service. Any pre-existing deficiencies not covered in these Specifications or Drawings will be subject to correction at the OWNER expense.

PERFORMANCE OF WORK

STARTING DATE FOR PROJECTS

The Notification of Award will stipulate the date on which it is expected the Contractor will begin contract work and from which date contract time will be charged. No work shall begin on the project until the contract has been fully executed.

SCHEDULE REQUIREMENTS

Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the Contractor is required to furnish the COR with the following schedules at or before the pre-drydocking conference: Gantt chart (Bar Chart) and CPM

Schedule.

The COR will independently review the initial schedule, and then meet with the Contractor for a joint review and make necessary corrections and adjustments. These specifications require this meeting take place within 10 calendar days of the contract award. After this meeting, but within 10 calendar days, the Contractor shall make the necessary changes, and then resubmit the schedule to the COR. If necessary, this process shall be repeated. However, the schedule must be finalized within 7 calendar days of the scheduled vessel delivery.

The schedule shall show contract milestones, intermediate contract completion dates, and the contract completion date. The schedule shall show the Contractor’s scheduled completion date and the substantial completion date when applicable.

Should the prosecution of the work be discontinued or changed for any reason, these specifications require the Contractor to notify the COR at least two days in advance of changing or resuming operations. Through the life of the project, the COR should verify that activities, durations, start and finish dates, etc. shown on the schedule represent the actual status of work.

The COR may request in writing a supplemental schedule if the actual prosecution of work differs significantly from that represented on the schedule. The Contractor must provide the requested supplemental schedule within 3 calendar days of the request and at no cost to the Government.

Jobsite progress meetings shall be held weekly or as specified for the purpose of updating the schedule.

Progress will be reviewed to verify actual start and finish dates of completed activities, remaining duration, and percent complete of uncompleted activities, and any proposed revisions to the schedule.

It is the Contractor's responsibility to provide the COR with the status of activities at the progress meetings and prepare schedule updates based on this information once it has been verified and agreed upon. A written narrative describing the schedule status, the critical path and any revisions to the schedule shall be included with the updated schedule. The updated schedule will be resubmitted should it not contain the agreed upon information.

The COR must have a schedule that accurately represents the prosecution of work and activities at all times. A current schedule is essential for evaluating requests for adjustments and determining how delays, extra work, interruptions, suspensions, etc. will impact the contract completion date or the

Contractor’s scheduled completion date. These specifications allow the COR to withhold progress payments if the Contractor fails to provide the schedules and updates as required.

GANTT CHART

A Gantt chart is another name for a bar chart. The Gantt chart provides a graphical representation of the project plan that includes the activities that make up the project, the estimated duration of each activity, and the planned sequence of activity performance. The critical path must be identified on the

Gantt chart. Total float must be identified on Gantt charts developed from CPM schedules. Total float is not required to be identified on Gantt charts developed without CPM schedules. The Gantt chart must conform to the specifications as set forth in the contract.

CRITICAL PATH METHOD (CPM) SCHEDULE

A CPM schedule is one that forecasts the amount of time required from project start to finish by arranging all project activities in their logical sequence and calculating all possible path lengths through the project. CPM schedules are used to ensure adequate project planning and provide a tool to quickly and accurately evaluate project changes. The CPM schedule may also be used to determine when and what activities need to be accelerated to meet contract milestones, completion dates, etc.

Two copies of the Time-Scaled Logic Diagram, Network Report, and Schedule Report must be submitted by the Contractor.

The Network Report shall completely define the schedule logic. It will clearly indicate all logical relationships and constraints.

The Schedule Report shall be sorted by activity number and shall provide the following information for each activity: activity number, activity description, activity calendar, original duration, remaining duration, percent complete, scheduled, or actual start and finish dates, late start and finish dates, free float and total float.

GUARANTEES

All guarantees or warrantees shall begin at the completion of final acceptance the completed work detailed in the specification by the COR.

MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP

MATERIAL GENERAL

All material unless otherwise specified herein, shall be of commercial quality; suitable for marine environment; and shall conform to ASTM, Federal, Military, SAE, ABS, and USCG (CFR) requirements. This material shall be so designated on Bills of Material and on Construction Drawings. All materials shall be free from imperfections of manufacture and from defects, which adversely affect appearance or serviceability.

WORKMANSHIP GENERAL

All workmanship shall be first-class in all respects. All material, machinery, equipment, pieces and/or parts specified herein and installed in the converted vessel shall be suitable for the marine service intended.

SECTION 100: GENERAL SERVICES REQUIREMENTS

• ITEM 101 APPLICABILITY OF RULES AND REGULATION

ABSTRACT:

It is the intent of this ITEM to define the rules and regulations governing the TS KINGS POINTER in order that the Contractor is cognizant of these requirements in the performance of this SOW.

REFERENCES:

46 CFR 167

SOLAS Cargo Ship (Non-tanker)

LOCATION / DESCRIPTION:

The TS KINGS POINTER was originally constructed as a Special Mission Rocket Recovery Ship under ABS Rules and the rules of SOLAS 1960. Conversion to a Public Nautical School Ship took place in 2015. As a Public Nautical School Ship, the regulations of 46 CFR 167 apply.

NOTES: Not Separately Priced (NSP) in section B Pricing. See Number (ITEM) 101.

STATEMENT OF WORK:

All work in this SOW must comply with the requirements of the USCG, ABS and SOLAS relative to the area being worked on. For example, if work is being performed in an area of the ship previously converted in accordance with SOLAS Passenger Ship rules, the work must comply with SOLAS Passenger Ship rules. If work is being performed in an area which currently only meets Cargo Ship rules, the work must, at a minimum, comply with Cargo Ship rules. This compliance is especially important relative to maintaining structural fire protection ratings. In this regard, the Contractor shall not perform any work which will result in a lowering of the existing structural fire protection ratings.

If the Contractor is aware of anything in this SOW that shall compromise that compliance, they shall make it known immediately, in writing, to the COR.
