ANSWER: Manned lifting is an option for API-2C. This is not required for the ATON crane.

QUESTION: Is the PLC Control Panel located in Pedestal?

ANSWER: Yes

QUESTION: Will the Panel have to fit through the 24.50” x 36.5” oval hole in the pedestal?

Are there any other restrictions inside the pedestal that we need to be aware of? Can several control panels be used if required?

ANSWER: See SK-TB150512, Sheet #8. The panel will have to fit through the opening.

Multiple control panels are acceptable.

QUESTION: We understand that the local controls for the (4) Cross Deck Winches, the Rising Sheave Chain Stoppers, the Cargo Hatch Door and the Buoy Chain Winch and level Wind Arm are located in the Buoy Deck Equipment Control Panels (BDCP) Port & Starboard. It is the intention that these local controls be replaced or used as provided?

ANSWER: The local controls will be replaced by the vendor. Clarification for Section 3.12.4.f of the Specification. The PORT and STBD BDCPs will only contain the following controls:

1. Control switch Local / Remote

2. Control location indicator

3. Chain Stopper Raise / Lower for either PORT or STBD

Welders are certified by a third party but what is anticipated for the production personnel, riggers and machinist

ANSWER: Resumes, industrial certifications and training records for critical production personnel, riggers, and machinists are acceptable.

QUESTION: Clarify the definition of “working load limit” and whether or not dynamic factors have been applied to the 20t and 5t lifting capacity requirements.

ANSWER: See Table 3.1-1. Dynamic factors have not been applied to the Working Load Limit capacities of the main and auxiliary lines (20t and 5t respectively).

14B. RFP Section L.3, Paragraph (a) - change to read "Facsimile and e-mail submission of proposals are not acceptable".
