REPAIRS TO ST. MARY’S RANGES

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) # 1

Refer to Specifications Section 14 65 00, Para. 2.1: “Winch shall be marine duty enclosed manual winch with marine duty double braking system and a minimum rated capacity of 1,000 lbs.”

Proposed change: U.S. winch manufacturers states double braking system no longer manufactured. U.S. winch manufacturers now provide Thern Weston Style Brake Operation as an alternative.

Request Contracting Officer review attached description of Thern Weston Style Brake Operation and approve it as a “Suitable Substitute” for specified duty double braking system.

Alternatively, request Contracting Officer provide acceptable U.S. or foreign winch manufacturer that supplies suitable marine duty double braking system specified.

RESPONS: Weston Style braking system is an acceptable substitute for the designated double braking system for US manufactured winches. Research on the available US manufactured winches did not uncover double braking systems being available, and the “Buy American Act” applies.

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) # 2

Refer to Specifications Section 14 65 00, Para. 2.2: “Cable shall be made from 1/4” diameter stainless steel wire rope with safety hook. Minimum breaking strength of the 1/4” diameter stainless steel rope shall be 1,500 pounds. Cable shall be greased lightly along the entire length.”

Question: What length of the specified cable is required for each of the three proposed installations, i.e., RRL, Tower “A”, and Tower “B”?

RESPONSE: We note that the current contract calls for winches only at the RRL and not towers A and B. Therefore, only the cable lengths for RRL are provided. Cable length for the jib crane on the main deck shall be 80 feet. Cable length for the jib crane on the top deck shall be 110 feet. It has been assumed that items can be lifted to the upper deck in two lifts – first to the main deck, and then to the top deck from the main deck.

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) # 3

Refer to Specifications Section 14 65 00, Para. 2.1: “Winch shall be marine duty enclosed manual winch with marine duty double braking system and a minimum rated capacity of 1,000 lbs.”

Question: Load rating capacity for winches varies with cable length. Please clarify if minimum rated capacity stated in specification is for first layer on drum, Mid-drum or Full drum, or clarify a minimum rated capacity for specific cable lengths at proposed installations.

RESPONSE: Minimum load rating is for Full Drum (considering the required cable lengths).
