14. DECRIPTION OF AMENDMENT/MODIFICATION (Organized by UCF section headings, including solicitation/contract subject matter where feasible.)

This amendment reflects the following questions and answers:

Q1: Is the Cutter going to be Port Side to the Pier?

A1: Yes

Q2: ISC Kodiak has significant pier restrictions regarding contractor use of cranes on the pier. Para 3.2.6 contractor recommends this to be done by either utilizing the Cutters SPD, or use the base crane?

A2: Cutter will utilize local base contractor’s crane, however, they will require to give 48 hr notice for the work.

Q2A: Will the Cutter be providing the stowage trailer?

A2a: The cutter will either launch the port side boat prior to mooring and trailer the small boat for storage OR they will use the base crane to lift the boat onto the trailer.

Q3: For bidding purposes, paragraph 3.4.4.2.1 can we agree the "Several" means up 6 cap screws may require drilling out?

A3: Cutter agrees "up to 6" cap screws would be a fair estimation. Anything more than that should be subject to a CFR.

Q4: 3.6 The Boom Cylinder Pins and Bushings cannot be fully inspected with-out removing the Boom Cylinder, is that the intent?

A4: Yes, it is the intent to remove the cylinder and inspect the pins, bushings, and mounts.

Q5: 3.6.1, Contractor does not recommend this test, the test itself will often exacerbate a leak or create a new leak, this is normally addressed during a disassembly and overhaul of the Cylinder.

A5: The cylinder test is REQUIRED, although the requirement to pressurize BOTH sides of the cylinder to 3000 psi is troublesome, due to the pressure intensification of a double acting cylinder (http://www.hydraulicsupermarket.com/cylinder-intensification.html). See this article for an explanation of how this test can be done hydrostatically, safely, without physically restraining the rod:

http://www.hydraulicsupermarket.com/cylinder-testing.html. The ROD side should be pressurized to the system operating pressure in a "a mid-stroke bypass test".

Q6: 3.15.1 Contractor intends to use a water bag which is filled gradually, thus eliminating any sudden weight bearing to the davit, contractor request this paragraph be waived when using a water bag?

A6: Concur with the contractor that we can and should use a water bag to slowly load test the davit.

Except as provided herein, all terms and conditions of the document referenced in Item 9A or 10A, as heretofore changed, remains unchanged and in full force and effect.
