7.2. UNIVERSAL REQUIREMENTS

7.2.1. General Technical Requirements (GTRs). The GTRs

set technical standards on how various work should be accomplished and are referenced in the contract. GTRs do not automatically task the Contractor. It or they must be invoked, or "triggered", by the use of key operative words or phrases in the work item. Complete understanding of the GTRs is critical to successfully and efficiently developing, reviewing and interpreting work items. All involved in reviewing work items must know what is in the GTR and what GTR’s apply to each work item; work items must not repeat information stated

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS RFP NO. N32205-16-R-4601

JAN 2016

001-3 in the GTR. Within the scope of this Work Package, complete each work item in accordance with appropriate General Technical Requirements (GTRs) as found in Reference 2.1.

7.2.2. Where a work item has special requirements that

differ from the GTRs, the requirements of the work item shall govern. Where there are no special requirements invoked, then the GTRs shall govern.

7.2.3. Work items and Contract Guidance Drawings

provided by the Government to the Contractor do not fully describe all work required to meet regulatory requirements. The Contractor shall ensure that work complies with regulatory requirements in accordance with Reference 2.1, GTR No. 1. The cost of meeting regulatory requirements shall be borne by the Contractor. The Contractor shall be responsible for scheduling of ABS surveys and the cost and scheduling of all other regulatory services. The Government shall bear the costs of ABS for ship surveys. Where a work item requires the contractor to develop working drawings and obtain ABS review and approval of those working drawings, the contractor shall bear these costs.

7.2.4. Where a work item does not invoke any particular

GTR, it is the responsibility of the Contractor to identify and perform in accordance with relevant GTRs.

7.2.5. The Government will provide an authorized paint

rep for the purpose of oversight of all paint work items contained in this specification.

7.2.6 Unless otherwise specified, all paint will be

provided as GFM. The Contractor is responsible for touch and repair of all coatings affected by the accomplishment of each work item.
