A. Questions/Answers to Request for Clarification with regards to dry-dock & repairs of CGC MUNRO (WHEC - 724)

0001 Question: Work Item #21 (Temporary Services, Dry-dock Provide) paragraph 3.3.4: Will crew members be berthing off the vessel during the performance of Work Items 55 and 61?

Answer: Crew members will be berthing on the vessel during the entire dry-dock.

0002 Question: Work Item #22 (Temporary Messing, Provide) paragraph 3.1 and 3.2: Paragraph 3.1 states that the messing facility must be within a quarter mile radius of your dry-dock location and 3.2 states that the facility must meet at minimum, the requirements of a two diamond rated facility. Will the Coast Guard accept on site catered food service in a clean on site warehouse setting? Will the Coast Guard expand the allowable radius proximity from the dry-dock to dining facility? It the crew will be berthing off the vessel, could the messing facility be located close to the berthing facility?

Answer: If food is provided at an offsite restaurant, then it must meet the requirements in 3.1 and 3.2 of work item 22. The Contractor may also take the option to cater food to either the Cutter mess deck (if it is maintained clean from other work) or to another appropriate, clean and accessible location on site of the dry-dock that must be approved by the COTR and KO. The crew will not be berthing off the vessel.
