CGC ANTHONY PETIT FY15 Drydock: Questions & Answers, March 20, 2015

Answer: Pricing should reflect renewal of 2 Z-drive units.

3. Question: Work item O-7l, para 3.11: In paragraphs 3.11 the specifications discuss painting of new and disturbed surfaces. Can provide details of what coatings have previously been applied to the interior and exterior surfaces of the replacement Z-drive(s)?

5. Question: D19, Para 3.2:

- In paragraph 3.2 the specifications, task #2 references paragraph 3.2.3 of SFLAC 5000, when it appears that the specification should reference paragraph 3.2.4.

- In paragraph 3.2 the specifications, tasks #5 & 7 reference paragraph 3.2.3 of SFLAC 5000, when it appears that the specifications should reference paragraph 3.2.2.

- Because of the sensitive nature of the davit, does the USCG intend to grit blast the davit or would they consider spot mechanical preparation and application of a full color coat?

Answer: Task #2 should reference 3.2.4. Task #5 and #6 should reference paragraph 3.2.2. Contractor should refer to the paragraph 3.2.4 for specifics on preservations.

6. Question: D40, para 3.2

In paragraph 3.2 the specifications, task #3 of SFLAC 5000, indicates in place SP-10 sandblasting of the Chain Stopper. There is a significant risk that sandblasting without disassembly will render the units vulnerable to grit contamination that could damage pins and bushings. Can the USCG modify this specification to either include disassembly of the units or revise requirements to spot mechanical preparation?

Answer: Task #3 should reference 3.2.4 not 3.2.4.1. 3.2.4 refers to several methods of appropriate surface preparation.
