QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

CLIN 0002:

Q1: Are there any plans to move the main engine for hull access?

A1: Space is tight. Some interferences may need to be moved in order to perform the interior welds on the hull but we are not anticipating moving the main engine. Removal of the shaft in CLIN0004 will clear some space for access as well.

CLIN0003

Q2: How much clad welding is to be done on the propeller?

A2: Following a recent dive, it was confirmed that there is one quarter-sized (1”x1”) spot centered at the outside edge of one blade that will need material. The remainder of the propeller is visually sound.

CLIN0004

Q3: What is the length of the shaft extension?

A3: The shaft extension is roughly 12’. It is coupled to a stainless tail shaft.

Q4: What type of bearing is at the FishHold-Engine Room bulkhead?

A4: The shaft penetrates the bulkhead via a coupling.

CLIN0006

Q5: How much fuel will need to be removed from the port tank?

A5: Roughly 1200 gallons.

Q6: Are there any known problems with the port fuel tank?

A6: No. The starboard fuel tank was inspected in 2015. The port fuel tank will be opened and inspected as routine maintenance.

CLIN0007

Q7: Is the forward water tank simply in need of a cleaning and inspection?

A7: There are known areas of paint sloughing in the water tank. The contractor will need to blast and paint the interior surfaces of the water tank. See SOW 18.7c-d.

CLIN0008

Q8: Can the new plumbing be threaded to the manifold?

A8: Yes. The new plumbing can be threaded.

Q9: How many new valves must be added to the manifold?

A9: Two valves, one for the steering gear room and one for the lazarette.

CLIN0008 (continued) Q10: How much hard pipe needs to be added to the vessel?

A10: All lengths of line must be hardpiped from suction to manifold. In accordance with 46 CFR 182.510, all pipe must be at least 1-1/2”. An estimate of new pipe lengths needed are as follows:

Discharge Line: ~15’ Aft Steering Line: ~31’ Lazarette Line: ~23’ Potable water stripping valve to pump: ~15’ Pump to Manifold: ~7’ Aft E/R: ~6’ Fish Hold Line: ~6’

Q11: Can the existing Lazarette and Steering Room plumbing be cleaned, inspected, and reused to avoid breaking up concrete in the Fish Hold?

A11: The current pipes do not meet the nominal diameter requirements. To avoid breaking the concrete, the new pipe may be routed above the concrete on deck, so long as it does not create a tripping hazard.

This can be accomplished by routing it all the way starboard, through the berthing space at the deck/bulkhead interface. The estimated length of pipe in the above question reflects this route. Old pipe must be sealed at the bulkhead to preserve watertight integrity of each space.

CLIN0009

Q12: What items will remain in the steering room?

A12: All buckets and loose items can be removed from the space prior to preservation work. Fixed items, such as hydraulic rams and bilge float switch, must be covered prior to sand blasting.

CLIN0011

Q13: How are the rub rails currently attached?

A13: The current rub rails are sections of half pipe welded to the vessel.

Q14: How much fuel will need to be removed from the vessel prior to welding?

A14: The port fuel tank will already be empty via CLIN0006. There will be approximately 1700 more gallons (800 in starboard tank and 450 in each of two tanks aft) to remove or inert. The forward tanks (port ballast and stbd hydraulic) will not need to be pumped, as the rub rails begin aft of these tanks.
