Solicitation No: HSCG40-16-R-60021 Amendment No: A00006

14A. Amendment A00006 is issued to respond to the following questions submitted in response to this solicitation and to identify the last date for submittal of questions.

QUESTION: ISO 6022 calls for metric Bores and stem diameters. Is that the intent of the USCG? Or can standard equivalent inch series be used?

ANSWER: Metric or English units are acceptable.

QUESTION: ISO 6022 calls for metric bolts and metric bolt patterns. Paragraph 3.5.7.b. of the procurement specification states, “Fastener designation shall be in accordance with SAE J2295”.

SAE J2295 is the Fastener Portion Standard (inch series). We understand that the USCG specification takes precedence, but is it the USCG intention to have SAE hardware on a metric dimensioned hydraulic cylinder?

ANSWER: Metric or English units are acceptable.

QUESTION: Regarding Amendment #5. In Amendment 5 you state, “The API Monogram label plate shall not be required for the crane. The Crane shall be certified to API Specification 2C.”

What do you mean when you say certified? Is the crane to be certified by having an API approved Q1 quality system in place and using the quality system to insure the manufacturer meets the API specification 2C? Is the crane to be certified by a third party outside Agency such as ABS or DNV to insure the USCG specification has been met?

ANSWER: All requirements of the 225’ WLB ATON Crane and ICCS Crane design and fabrication shall follow API-2C and meet the specification. Requirements verification shall be in accordance with the 225’ WLB ATON Crane and ICCS Specification and API-2C

QUESTION: Is it acceptable if the manufacturer self certifies that they meet the standard?

ANSWER: Self-certification by the vendor is acceptable to the US Coast Guard provided compliance with API-2C requirements are demonstrated and provided to the Coast Guard’s satisfaction.

QUESTION: Is it the intention of the USCG to certify that you meet just the API 2C design specification, or is it the intention of the USCG to require meeting the API 2C specification and all of the other specific requirements such as documentation, QA, record keeping and shop practices such as welding to AWS D1.1?

ANSWER: The ATON Crane design and fabrication shall meet the requirements and work standards as set forth by API-2C and the 225’ WLB ATON Crane and ICCS Specification.

14B. Questions related to the solicitation may be submitted via e-mail no later than April 6, 2016 at 12:00 PM Eastern Time to Linda.B.Lassiter@uscg.mil .
