About this file

This Statement of Work (SOW) details requirements for cleaning and maintaining sewage and gray water systems on the USCGC PATOKA (WLR-75E), a United States Coast Guard cutter. The document outlines two primary work items: Work Item 8 for sewage holding tank cleaning and inspection, and Work Item 19 for gray water piping cleaning and flushing.

For the sewage holding tank (located at 2-07-0 with 1200-gallon capacity), the contractor must thoroughly clean and inspect the tank's interior, remove all contents and residues, clean vent lines, remove and clean eductors and level switches, and reinstall components with new gaskets. For the gray water piping system, the contractor must clean and flush the entire system using hydro blasting at 2500 psig, remove calcium carbonate and solid deposits, conduct borescope inspections, and perform pH testing. Both work items require detailed cleaning plans, waste disposal in compliance with federal regulations, operational testing, and submission of comprehensive reports to the Coast Guard Inspector. The work is part of the vessel's fiscal year 2025 dockside availability and emphasizes environmental safety and thorough system maintenance.
