In reply, here are recommended answers to the questions from the RFQ as follows:
1. Question: Are pictures and/or drawings available of the underwater assembly for buoyancy appendages?
Answer: See Specification Reference 3.1.1.a NOAA Ship FERDINAND R. HASSLER drawing M286-PH3- FD01-00, “Buoyancy Appendage” and Reference 3.1.1.b. The Columbia Group drawing 6000695 “Typical Buoyancy Appendage” [both are attached]
2. Question 2a: Are existing CFM clamping bars fabricated from 1/2 in. thick stainless steel?
Answer 2a: Specification Section 3.1.3.c. includes requirements and descriptions for new contractor furnished material (CFM) clamping bars. There are no existing clamping bars.
Question 2b: Will a reduction in thickness be considered for new CFM clamping bars, 3/8 in thick?
Answer 2b: A reduction in thickness for new CFM clamping bars cannot be considered based on design task recommendations from a third party naval architects and marine engineering design. New government furnish material (GFM) fasteners are sized to accommodate new ½ inch CFM clamping bars and new 1/16 gasket material as indicated in the requirements.
3. Question 3: Confirm fasteners are threaded directly into hull without the use of a backing nut.
Answer 3: Existing fasteners are threaded into a series of Grade 316 flat stock measuring 2 inch x 1-1/4 inch x 7 foot long sections welded on hull exterior shell plating. There are no backing nuts. See Reference 3.1.1.a NOAA Ship FERDINAND R. HASSLER drawing M286-PH3-FD01-00, “Buoyancy Appendage” which includes List of Material Item B13 on sheet 1. See also drawing Section 24-A on sheet 3, Section 29-A on sheet 4, Section 37-A on sheet 5, and Detail 58-D and Detail 63-D on sheet 8. [attached]
4. Question 4: Confirm when old bolts are extracted no water ingress will be present. Confirm when extracting old bolts the existing gasket under the appendage will remain in place to prevent water ingress.
Answer 4: Water will ingress only into threaded bolt holts in Grade 316 stainless flat bar, Item B13, as noted in Answer 4 above. Water will not ingress through hull shall plating. The existing gasket under the appendages will remain in place.
5. Question 5: Confirm dimensions and weight of buoyancy appendages.
Answer 5: See Reference 3.1.1.c. “Buoyancy Weight and Volume.” [attached]
6. Question 6: Will vessel have a drill press within machine shop that can be used by contractor on-board?
Answer 6: Ship’s existing drill press and machine shop are too small to accommodate this request. Contractor labor, material and equipment are required to provide CFM and install CFM and GFM in accordance with Requirements sections 3.1.3.a through 3.1.3.m.
