ASBESTOS SUBCONTRACTOR

The CONTRACTOR shall, if required as part of this Contract, engage the services of a certified asbestos subcontractor (unless the CONTRACTOR has in-house capability) to remove and dispose of properly all asbestos removed or disturbed for the performance of this contract.

Note: The OWNER hereby informs the CONTRACTOR that the existing vessel does contain asbestos and that the CONTRACTOR is specifically required to provide certification that the CONTRACTOR is a certified asbestos abatement contractor or that the CONTRACTOR has engaged a certified asbestos abatement subcontractor.

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 be for the purpose of enabling the OWNER to effectively communicate with vendors and subcontractors working on the job and to 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. At the OWNER request, the CONTRACTOR will make arrangements for the OWNER (at the OWNER expense) to visit the Vendor’s or Subcontractor’s facility for the purpose of quality assurance and/or testing.

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, be 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.

PROSECUTION 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.
