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.

1.10 VENDORS/SUBCONTRACTORS

1.10.1 ASBESTOS SUBCONTRACTOR

The CONTRACTOR shall, 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 in accordance with enclosure 2. The CONTRACTOR shall perform a survey of the vessel to determine the amount of asbestos removal required. The COTR and CONTRACTOR shall make a survey prior to the acceptance of this work as completed. A survey report shall be submitted to the COTR for approval in accordance with enclosure 2..

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 in accordance with enclosure 1. This certified Contractor or Subcontractor is responsible for the proper removal of asbestos containing material (ACM) from the vessel and subsequent proper disposal of asbestos containing materials that originate from the vessel in accordance with enclosure 1.

1.10.2 VENDOR LISTING

The CONTRACTOR shall provide the COTR 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 30 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.

1.11 ACCESS TO YARD/VESSEL/DOCUMENTS (IF APPLICABLE)

1.11.1 ACCESS TO YARD/VESSEL

The Government Representatives (COTR) shall be afforded access to the CONTRACTOR Shipyard, the COTR’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) .

1.11.2 ACCESS TO DOCUMENTS

The OWNER and/or COTR 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.

1.12 INSPECTIONS

1.12.1 GENERAL

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

The COTR 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.

1.12.2 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 COTR 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 COTR will make every effort to maintain communications with the parties involved and to report to the inspection site per agreed schedule. If the COTR 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 COTR 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 COTR.

1.12.3 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.

1.12.4 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 COTR. It must be clearly understood by the CONTRACTOR that the COTR 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.

1.12.5 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 COTR'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 COTR. An initial inspection in no way negates the requirement for re-inspection if an area is reworked in any manner.

1.12.6 COMPARTMENT COMPLETIONS

Living spaces, workspaces and control/machinery spaces shall be inspected and certified complete by the COTR and the CONTRACTOR representative. A compartment shall not be considered accepted until the inspection is complete, deficiencies are corrected, and the COTR 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 COTR 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.

1.13 PROGRESS REVIEW MEETINGS

The CONTRACTOR and COTR shall hold progress review meetings every (1) week to be held at the CONTRACTOR facility or such other location as approved by both parties beginning (1) week after the delivery of the vessel to the CONTRACTOR facility. The purpose of the meetings is to discuss, report, and resolve problems relative to progress, anticipated delays, cost experience in relation to budget and projected end costs, staffing, schedules, receipt of GFE (if any), CONTRACTOR furnished material, production problems (including Subcontractor problems), and other related matters.

1.14 GUARANTEES
