LIST OF TABLES

1.000 SCOPE

This Specification defines the requirements for the Pacific Training Support Vessel (P-TSV). The P-TSV will be an existing ship, classification society certified, offshore supply vessel (OSV) converted for use as a U.S. Navy training support vessel via the requirements specified herein. The scope of this Specification is to provide the pre-conversion vessel requirements and conversion works to accomplish delivery of the vessel ready for service as a U.S. Navy training support vessel.

The Contractor shall provide a suitable OSV for the conversion works that meets the general principal characteristics and requirements of this Specification.

The Contractor shall convert the OSV in accordance with the requirements of this Specification. The major conversion works includes the following:

a. The conversion of any existing liquid mud tanks to ballast water tanks, fuel tanks, or voids and the removal of any existing bulk mud tanks.

b. The design, installation, and certification of a Contractor furnished, knuckle boom, deck crane.

c. The design and installation of superstructure modifications to meet accommodation, outfitting, and secure space requirements as needed.

d. Installation of deck sockets for the installation of various GFE mission equipment.

e. Installation of C5I mast, cabling, equipment foundations, and secure spaces.

The Contractor shall complete all conversion works for delivery of the vessel with an International Load Line Certificate valid for 5 years. The contractor shall obtain the services of ABS, coordinate all required inspections, and perform any resulting required repairs. The Contractor shall submit to ABS all drawings necessary for review and approval in order to obtain an International Load Line assignment. The vessel shall be delivered with an ABS Classification certificate in accordance with the requirements of this Specification.

After the completion of all conversion work, the US Navy will take ownership of the vessel and operate it as a government owned, Public Vessel. The vessel will enter into service as a U.S. Navy training support vessel.
