REQUEST FOR SPECIFICATION CLARIFICATION

RFC 011

NAME OF CONTRACTOR:

SPECIFICATION ITEM NO.: 102

PARAGRAPH / SECTION NO: 3.1,7.1.14, 7.2.4, 7.3

TITLE: Tank Deck Overhead Preservation

QUESTION:

3.1 shows the location at “Frames (50 – 60) Total is approximately 35,000 square feet of preservation and painting.”

7.1.14 discusses: all areas on initial walkthrough will be agreed upon by the contractor and Port Engineer/Paint rep. Contractor is to provide a sketch of all areas agreed upon, as well as a schedule for completion of each zone.

• Is it the Government’s intent to 100% blast between “Frames (50 – 60) Total is approximately 35,000 square feet of preservation and painting.”

• Or is it the Government’s intent to designate the square footage of corroded areas for blasting after the walk through?

7.2.4 “Sandblast and mechanically clean to SP-11 all areas of the overhead, stiffeners, brackets, piping, stanchions, any and all attachments as designated by the Specification,”

• The specification does not specifically designate to sandblast the 35,000 square feet but discusses a walkthrough to agree on scope.

• Please clarify.
