APPENDIX 1: Purpose and Objectives

The purpose of this contract is to provide management, labor, material and facilities, as required, to accomplish Ship Fitting Out Availabilities (FOAs), Post Shakedown Availabilities (PSAs), and Emergent Work onboard the LPD 26 (JOHN P MURTHA) and LPD 27 (PORTLAND). The FOA is intended to complete fitting out and to correct design-related deficiencies and complete system installations to support ship Post Delivery Test & Trial (PDT&T). The PSA is intended to correct deficiencies and accomplish system/equipment upgrades identified during ship PDT&T and shakedown periods. A separate Life Cycle Engineering & Support (LCES) Planning Yard will manage a comprehensive process for work specification development, material procurement, fabrication, and kitting to support FOA/PSA and Emergent Work. The FOA and PSA onboard the LPD 26 and LPD 27 will take place at Naval Base San Diego, CA. The planning efforts for each availability will begin approximately 4 months prior to the start of each availability. The execution efforts for the FOA on LPD 26 and LPD 27 will take approximately 200,000 labor hours each, exclusive of any emergent work, and will each last 8 weeks. The execution effort for the LPD 26 PSA will take approximately 500,000 labor hours, exclusive of any emergent work, and will last 21 weeks. The execution effort for the LPD 27 PSA will take approximately 450,000 labor hours, exclusive of any emergent work, and will last 18 weeks. Emergent work is estimated at 200,000 hours across all of the availabilities.

For information purposes, the breakdown by craft/trade set forth below reflects the Navy’s average historical hard task labor experience on previous LPD 17 ship class FOAs / PSAs.

As a result, it is also the basis for the production labor mix anticipated to accomplish the total FOA / PSA work package for LPD 26 and LPD 27:

CRAFT/TRADE PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL LABOR

Program Management 20%

Shipfitters 7% Machinists 5% Firewatch/Safety 9% Electrical/Electronic 10% Pipefitters 16% Painters/Blasters 7% Riggers 4% Sheetmetal 5% Carpenters 2% Laggers/Insulators 4% Welders 11% Total 100%

Note: Program Management should include planners, estimators, schedulers, trade supervision, etc.

The following summarize the major requirements contemplated for the above outlined scope of work:

1. Management, Planning, Engineering, Design, Liaison, Scheduling:

The LCES Planning Yard will manage a comprehensive process for work specification development, material procurement, fabrication, and kitting. The Contractor is responsible for detailed schedule integration, manning resource allocation, material management and execution of work items. Additionally, the Contractor shall provide onboard spare parts and test equipment for all Contractor procured equipment which is different from that previously installed onboard the ship. The range and depth of spare parts shall be in accordance with documented manufacturer's recommendations to support the ship for ninety (90) days. Also, the contractor will need to incorporate emergent work as identified during various tests and inspections in to the scheduled availabilities.

2. Labor and Material:

Efforts include those craft/trade categories listed above in the percentage of total labor breakdown. Material kits will be delivered to the Contractor as Government Furnished Material (GFM) in advance of the FOA / PSA, and pre-staged by the Contractor in a warehouse, in preparation for FOA / PSA. Material provided by the executing yard will include incidental, or consumable materials, such as nuts, bolts and washers, pipe insulation, welding rods, pipe hangers, paint brushes, cable hangers and studs, cable stuffing tubes and fittings and any contractor furnished material required to accomplish work. Note: The Contractor will conduct tests, except those designated as Government responsible, and participate in Post Repair Sea Trials to verify the accuracy and completion of all shipyard industrial work.

3. Facilities:

The following facilities will need to be provided in order to execute the FOA/PSA scope of work: (1) Production Shops; (2) Secured and controlled environmental facilities for combat systems and electronics; and (3) Warehouse/storage facilities to accommodate pre-positioning and long lead time material. Please describe your available facilities or your plan to secure necessary facilities.

4. Past Performance:

Please describe relevant and comparable prime contract and subcontract work. The Government shall consider as relevant any work on amphibious and surface combatant availabilities performed within the preceding four years. Emphasis will be placed on industrial efforts with significant work package growth that demonstrate an offeror's ability to successfully accomplish large, dynamic, intensive availabilities within the ship’s homeport.

5. Additional Requirements:

Due to the prospective dollar value and contract type of this potential contract, it is expected that the potential contract will contain requirements for an Earned Value Management System (DFARS 252.234-7002) and Accounting System (DFARS 252.242-7006).
