REQUEST FOR SPECIFICATION CLARIFICATION

NAME OF CONTRACTOR:

SPECIFICATION ITEM NO.:904

PARAGRAPH / SECTION NO:3.0 & 4.0

TITLE: Rudder Inspection

QUESTION:

Discussions with the Qualified John Crane Seal (OEM) Technical Representative brought up a question regarding materials. In past specifications the materials in paragraph 3.0 have been GFM according to the Tech Rep. Paragraph 4.0 GFM only provides paint.

* Is it the intention of the Government for the contractor to provide the Seals and bearings noted in 3.2.2 and below?

3.2.1 mentions Rudders & stocks, QTY=2. Is it safe to assume this is listed as “Location” and not provide or GFM?

ANSWER:

The work applicable to items (bearings and seals) stated in above question are addressed in Section 7.3.2 & 7.3.3. The Government will only provide the GFM as Listed in Section 4.0. It is the responsibility of the contractor to provide all other material to complete the work as specified in section 7.0. Section 3.0 lists major item location/quantity affected by work listed in section 7.0.
