Workboat Large – N00024-17-R-2217 Pre-Solicitation Synopsis Questions & Navy Responses

(05/08/2017 Rev)

(This is a correction to the “NAVY RESPONSE 6” that was posted on 05/08/2017)

QUESTION 6: Please be advised that if you want the boat to be built in accordance to the above referenced ABS standards, then you need to identify and state the required ABS classification code that will apply to the twenty-six boats, since this will affect the price of the boats and the components used to construct and finish the boats. Information concerning the required classification code was not stated in the documentation provided.

NAVY RESPONSE 6: The ABS Rules are included in the Referenced Documents section since several Specification sections require the use of ABS Rules. The Workboat Large does not generally need to meet the requirements of ABS Rules except where called out in the Specification. For example, ABS Rules are specifically referenced for the towing stability requirements of Specification Section 079-1, the bollard pull test requirement of Specification Section 092-1, and the propeller shaft sizing requirements of Specification Section 243-1.
