7. The Contractor shall provide one (1) engineer/surveyor to support the SMART Coordinator in red-lining and updating test plans based upon input provided by SMEs during the actual

SMART.

a. Engineer shall work with all SMEs during the SMART inspection to capture recommended updates, observing the test plan issues to fully understand suggested changes. Engineer will develop a listing of suggested changes for review by the SMART Coordinator and SMART

Team Naval Officers prior to completion of the SMART inspection.

b. Engineer shall research all changes to determine applicability to other ships in the Class within 2 weeks of the end of the SMART Inspection and notify the SMART Coordinator of findings.

c. Upon approval by the SMART Coordinator, engineer shall update all applicable test plans. Engineer shall maintain a log of test plan updates including date of update, SME that identified initial discrepancy, applicability and date of authorization. This log shall be maintained for all MSC ships.

d. The Contractor shall develop a Trip Report from USNS

OVERTHEHORIZON (T-EST 001) SMART attendees recording observations, questions, and suggestions concerning the conduction of the SMART inspection.

The Contractor shall develop the final SMART report in electronic format. A copy of the final inspection files will be provided to the contractor by the SMART Coordinator, and the Contractor will upload to

MSC’s Virtual Tech Library with 45 days after the completion of the inspection. The Contractor shall consolidate all inputs including inspection data, pictures, and attached documents into the report format.

The SMART Team Coordinator shall provide the contractor the final database of SMART inspection findings, attachments and final assessments within 10 days of completion of the SMART.

SAMPLE TASK 2: Root Cause Analysis on the USNS OVERTHEHORIZON (T-EST 001)

The purpose of the task is to accomplish a root cause failure investigation and analysis of a connecting rod bolt failure on SSDG #1, using industry RCA practices such as the “5 Whys”, and provide a report detailing findings and recommendations.

1. Support shall include assembling a technical team with diesel engine expertise to attend the ship, observe the engine in as-is state and during disassembly, interview crew, discuss findings with

OEM technical representatives, collect engine log data and failed parts.

2. Arrange with the MSC TPOC to send failed parts back to a material failure analysis laboratory.

3. Map out root casual factors and contributing factors.

4. Provide interim and final reports on findings, observations and root causes. Provide recommendations to avoid repeat failures.
