GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Performance

The intent of the specifications and drawings contained in this RFP are to outline and illustrate the work DOC is requesting be completed. It is not the intent to include every detail of the work. The omission of any material, equipment or process in the included specifications or drawings that may adversely affect the seaworthiness, serviceability or regulatory compliance of the vessel, and the inclusion of which is in keeping with good shipbuilding practice, shall be provided by the Contractor at no additional charge to

DOC.

Washington State Page 5 of 15

Existing vessel drawings are available to Contractors, both for bidding purposes and for use in the completion of the work contained in this contract. The accuracy and completeness of these drawings is not guaranteed. The Contractor’s reliance on these drawings will not constitute grounds for a change order or claim. Bidders are encouraged to conduct a thorough ship inspection prior to submitting bids to complete work.

Unless otherwise specified, Contractor shall provide all necessary labor, materials, supplies, services, tools, equipment, and transportation to accomplish the work.

Contractor shall be familiar, and comply, with all Federal, State, and local laws, ordinances, and regulations which might affect those engaged in the work contained in this contract.

In the performance of work outlined in this contract, the Contractor shall remove any and all interferences required to complete the work. Upon completion of work, the Contractor shall restore any interferences which have been removed to their original condition. The cost to remove and replace interferences shall be included in the overall cost quotation submitted for the work contained in this RFP and shall result in no additional charge to DOC.

The existence of any major deficiency affecting the safe navigation or the immediate efficient use of the vessel for its intended purpose will be sufficient cause to refuse redelivery, pending correction of the deficiency. Any resulting delay in redelivery shall be the Contractor’s responsibility. The existence of a number of minor uncorrected deficiencies will likewise be a cause for refusal of redelivery until their number has been reduced to a level acceptable to DOC. The Contractor shall then agree to the earliest practicable correction of any remaining deficiencies following redelivery and shall rectify these deficiencies without interference to the scheduled use of the vessel.

Additional conditions shall be in accordance with the terms of the Contract.

Schedule

Time is of the essence for this work. The vessel must be drydocked and available to the USCG for inspection by January 31, 2025. Work must be completed between the date the contract is executed between the parties and March 31, 2025. Contractor shall provide DOC with expected start and end dates of work as part of their bid submittal. Contractor is solely responsible for coordination and scheduling of all work as needed to maintain schedule. Any delays or extensions to the expected work completion date must be approved by DOC or their Representative. The costs of any changes or delays to the schedule, except those that are expressly requested by DOC, shall be the responsibility of the Contractor.

As soon as practicable following contract award and prior to delivery of the vessel to Contractor’s Facility, a master construction schedule shall be conveyed in writing to DOC providing dates for principal construction activities, testing and inspections, launching, and delivery.

Upon award of the contract and prior to the delivery of the vessel to Contractor’s facility, an initial meeting shall be conducted to establish contact information, discuss the contract specifications, the Contractor’s work plan, the anticipated schedule of tests and inspections, and any other pertinent items. The day, time and format of the initial meeting shall be determined by mutual agreement between DOC and Contractor.

Washington State Page 6 of 15

Contractor shall participate in weekly progress meetings with DOC at the Contractor’s facility. The days and times of the meetings will be established between Contractor and DOC at the initial project meeting.

Meetings shall cover, at a minimum, percentage completion of work items, adherence to schedule, condition found reports, material lead times, and any other issues which may impact schedule or cost of work. Conducting weekly progress meetings does not preclude more frequent communication if needed to maintain workflow.

Changes to Specifications

The Contract shall be carried out in accordance with these specifications, using the included drawings for guidance. Deviations from these specifications shall be kept to a minimum. It is recognized that exact adherence to details, arrangements, machinery layout, etc., is not always possible in progressing from contract drawings and contract design to construction or working drawings and final design. DOC shall be notified of all changes to the contract technical specifications and drawings. Approval of changes to the specifications contained in this contract may only be made by DOC or their representative.

In the case of any proposed departures from the specifications or contract plans, or in the case of developments during construction which affect the light ship weight, center of gravity, location of subdivision bulkheads or volumes of space whether proposed by the Contractor or DOC, the Contractor shall consult with the USCG, and Naval Architect before work on the change is started.
