B] SPECIFIC WORK TASKS

1] Haul, block, clean, store, launch Remove the vessel from the water. Pressure-wash the entire hull from sheer line to keel removing all dirt, grime, and marine growth. Clean all surfaces within the tunnel. Clean all fittings below waterline, including propulsor components, struts, stern tubes, rudders, foils, fins, through-hulls, etc. Clean transducers with a non-metallic brush, taking care to not mar the emitting surface in any way. Replace, in kind, six (6) anodes with Performance Metals HYAA Boater’s Dream Long Life Aluminum Anode (No substitutions are permitted).

Block the vessel in a level attitude with the keels 36” minimum off the ground. Inspect the hull, coatings, and all attachments and report any damage or discrepancies to the GCP in writing. Provide electrical power to the vessel suitable for its shore power system.

Upon completion of all work done on the hard, launch the vessel, inspect all compartments for leaks, and secure it dockside. If dockside testing or underway trials are required after launch, provide prior notification to the GCP so NOAA personnel can attend.

2] Underbody coating system Prepare the hull surfaces to be painted and apply one coat of Interspeed 5640 non-copper antifouling paint of the same color as existing paint. Provide an extra coat at the hull’s leading edges, including the hydrofoils, tracking fins, and each hull. Paint will be applied in accordance with the coating manufacturer’s application requirements. During the coating process, temporarily shift individual blocks under the hull to ensure all portions of the hull are recoated. The Contractor will have an OEM representative or certified technician oversee the application process. Notify the GCP after completion of painting.

3] Renew Prop-Speed coating Renew the Prop-speed coatings on the propellers and shafts. Manufacturer procedures shall be used in all cases. The contractor shall ensure that all environmental conditions are within the manufacture's specified parameters prior to starting application of all coatings. Upon completion, schedule an inspection of the coating system by the GCP.

4] Inspect and lubricate seacocks Disassemble and visually inspect all seacocks in the hull bottom and topsides. Provide a written report describing the condition of each seacock to the GCP.
