A RENTAL SPECIFICATION — OVERVIEW OF MACHINERY & EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS (REMARKS as enumerated)

H1 HYDROSTATIC TESTING: The quantity of hose assemblies listed in TABLE A1: MACHINERY REQUIREMENTS is for each machine or piece of equipment and, unless noted otherwise, is expected to be delivered on its scheduled date of Arrival. All pressurized hardware (e.g. hose assemblies, manifolds, valved assemblages, and adapters), shall have a banded individual Identification (ID) tag or label attached prior to and for reporting the results of the Hydrostatic Tests. Within one calendar year of its scheduled Arrival Date (exemption may be allowed if less than two years from its scheduled Departure Date), the pressurized hardware shall be hydrostatically tested with new hose gaskets for Strength & Tightness (S&T) and/or Valve Seat Leakage (VSL) by an independent (of the Contractor) and certified Vendor for five minutes (5') and, in a safe manner, visually inspected with internal valve seat leakage measured while pressurized. Upon Vendor's request, clarification vis-à-vis Valve Seat Leakage is available from the Technical Liaison. The Hydrostatic Test Certificates issued by the testing Vendor shall be kept on file by the leasing Contractor for the duration that the test could apply with the ability to provide an immediate copy of any particular certificate when requested by the Technical Code (e.g. as an evidentiary request resulting from a formal Critique or Investigation). However, the Contractor shall extract the hydrostatic test data from the certificates, tabulate the results, and send a digitized version as exemplified in TABLE A3: SYNOPSIS OF

HYDROSTATIC TEST CERTIFICATES to both the Technical Liaison and the Administrative Point-Of-Contact (POC). For Extra High Pressure [X-HP] hose assemblies (i.e. in excess of 5,000 psig operating pressure), the hydrostatic test pressure shall be ten percent above the system's operating pressure. Hence, for 10K Hydro-Blast hose assemblies, the test pressure is a minimum of 11,000 (11K) psig.

H2 This lease requires the Contractor to fully SET-UP / START-UP / OPERATE (continuously, around-the-clock, i.e.

24 hours per day) / MONITOR / MAINTAIN / REPAIR / BREAKDOWN. Hence, ARRIVAL is defined as the date in which systems are fully-operational and RETURN is defined as the date in which systems are no longer required.

Thus, the Contractor must plan the date for deployment (SET-UP) sufficiently in advance so as to meet its obligated date for being fully-operational for the entire duration of the lease with redeployment (machinery & equipment breakdown) being the Contractor's responsibility in duration and effort.

H3 SPARE EQUIPMENT SET: Only one each (1 ea) spare set of ancillary equipment is required for any or all Hydrostatic Blasting Units (HBUs) (a.k.a. Hydro-Blasters) that are leased in which the technical requirements are detailed in Section D1. HBU [DSL]–10K Paragraph f. Equipment of this specification. The Spare Equipment Set includes:

ITEM [a]: One each (1 ea) Extra High Pressure [X-HP] Hydro-Blast pistol gun;

ITEM [b]: One each (1 ea) High Pressure [HP] Hydro-Blast trigger gun;

ITEM [c]: One each (1 ea) straight turbo nozzle mounted onto the [X-HP] Hydro-Blast pistol gun;

ITEM [d]: One each (1 ea) rotating turbo nozzle mounted onto the [HP] Hydro-Blast trigger gun;

ITEM [e]: One each (1 ea) [X-HP] 2-way unloader;

ITEM [f]: One each (1 ea) [HP] 4-way unloader;

ITEM [g]: Two hundred feet (200') of hydrostatically tested and certified [X-HP] Hydro-Blast hose assemblies.

H4 CONTAINMENT: The Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining all matériel as well as constructing a single environmental liquid spill type containment structure to eventually surround both of the Hydrostatic Blasting Units (HBUs). The Contractor is expected to construct a majority portion of the containment structure in a designated location prior to parking its wheeled HBUs and then complete its construction at the entrance-way after the HBUs have been parked. The purpose of the containment structure is to contain either a possible diesel engine fuel or oil spill to include fueling operations as well as a possible break in the fresh water feed line at the unit's reservoir tank. A one and a half inch diameter (1½") freshwater feed line under a pressure of seventy (70) psig discharges approximately four hundred cubic feet in ten minutes (q = 0.65 CF / sec ≈ 290 gpm ≈ 400 CF / 10') [Crane: Table page 3–15 "Flow of Liquids Through Nozzles and Orifices"]. Presuming a bermed footprint of about 400 square feet and a freeboard of at least three inches, the height of the berm should be at least fifteen inches (15"H = 12" of water + 3" of freeboard).

H5 QUALIFICATION (TECHNICIAN): Besides basic operational services to include replacing nozzles, lances, unloaders, and hoses as well as fueling operations, the Technician must be qualified to perform basic troubleshooting and repair of the Hydrostatic Blasting system. Because of safety considerations for Government workers performing hydrostatic blasting work as well as Contractor personnel monitoring multiple units, Contractor's personnel shall be limited on-site for a duration no longer than fourteen hours with at least an eight hour break between shifts.

A RENTAL SPECIFICATION — OVERVIEW OF MACHINERY & EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS (NOTES based on ITEM)

A&B LIFTING & HANDLING (L&H) EXEMPTION: The Hydrostatic Blasting Unit (HBU) (a.k.a. Hydro-Blaster) shall be mounted on wheels either on its own trailer or as a vehicle-mounted unit so that neither a forklift nor a crane is required for deployment. The units shall be physically placed within their containment structure by the Vendor.

Thus, the usual LIFTING & HANDLING requirements of this Technical Specification (TS) would not apply for these wheeled units. Preferably, only a single containment structure would be required for both HBUs at the pier.

A&B MACHINERY QUALITY CHECKLIST: A Quality Checklist unique for each machine type shall be developed, abided to in every operational check, and copies shall both accompany the machine and sent to the Technical Liaison.

ALL VENDOR IDENTIFICATION (ID) OF ITEMIZED AND ANCILLARY (W/ MACHINERY) EQUIPMENT: The Contractor shall uniquely tag and permanently mark all of its ancillary and itemized equipment / hardware (e.g. manifolds, hose assemblies, pipe fittings, duct adapters, ducting, etc.) so as to differentiate from that owned by either the Shipyard or other Vendors. Tagging alone is often insufficient. Suggest painting the ferrous metal on hardware and the end fittings on hose assemblies with unique and distinct color(s) associated to that Vendor.

ALL MACHINERY / EQUIPMENT MARKING & TAGGING: The Hydrostatic Blast Outlets (HBOs) for all of the major components as well as other utility line(s) must be clearly marked. Machinery and itemized equipment require tagging to show Project Boat No / Technical Specification Identification (ID) No (i.e. SSN ### / H##).

NBPL COMMERCIAL DELIVERY ACCESS: There are two independently secure areas that commercial vehicles must gain access in order to effectuate delivery. The first is the main Base and the second is the Enclave (Pier 5002) which is within the Base. The best method to gain access to the Base is via a Rapid Gate badge (info:

877.727-4342). A Project Sponsor would be required if the truck driver or repair technician does not have a Rapid Gate badge. The Sponsor will need to request a Vetting Form from Richard D. Ramirez (619.553-9136).

After the Sponsor has submitted the completed Vetting Form to RD Ramirez or other staff, it will take seven to ten days for the Vetting process to be completed. After the Vetting process has been completed, a one day Temporary Pass to gain access to the main Base will be available at Bldg 174. Further access into the Enclave will require continuous escort. However, if the individual(s) have Rapid Gate badge(s), the Sponsor can submit an Enclave Access Request Form to RD Ramirez so that the badge(s) will be encoded. This would allow vehicle access into the Enclave without an escort. Considering the aforementioned difficulty in gaining Base / Enclave access, it is highly encouraged that the Contractor utilizes transport Vendor(s) with Rapid Gate badged drivers to the point of transferring locally (at San Diego) either the driver or the trailer load for the final destination delivery of machinery / equipment transported cross-county. Also, because of the CONTRACTUAL

REPAIR REQUIREMENTS which would not allow for an extended Vetting process (see paragraph B5.), the Contractor must have, for each machine under lease, qualified service and repair technicians with Rapid Gate badges.

B RENTAL SPECIFICATION — CONTRACTUAL REQUIREMENTS

1. ACCESS: To be allowed onto a government Shipyard, personnel must be US citizens and in possession of appropriate personal identification. Proof of US citizenship may be necessary and can be required for access to the drydock environs. Allowable documentation of US citizenship is an official government issued Certificate of Birth or Naturalization (w/ raised seal & not a photocopy) or a US passport (can be expired). Vehicular access requires a non-expired personal Driver’s License and appropriate vehicle identification or registration. The transport vehicle must have the company’s name / logo prominently displayed. Normal commercial delivery access to NBPL: (see NOTE) is from 5:30 am to 5:00 pm Monday thru Friday (excludes Federal Holidays). To gain access to the drydock environs, personnel must be escorted and possess / wear their own personal safety gear which includes: safety glasses w/ side protection, hard hat, safety shoes with an ANSI approved reinforced toe box, and, as posted, adequate hearing protection (i.e. ≥20 dB[A] reduction from ear plugs and/or ear muffs).

2. DELIVERY: The machinery shall be in a fully-charged, fully-assembled, ready-to-use, and in a first-class-operating condition. Disposable type filters shall be replaced with new (virgin) and permanent (metal) filters shall be clean prior to delivery. The machinery with its support equipment shall be delivered to the site on or prior to the request date. It is incumbent and the responsibility of the Contractor to either confirm or coordinate the date and time of delivery prior to each shipment via the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) and/or Point-of-Contact (POC) as designated on the Contract. The Government can provide forklift services for removing machinery from Vendor’s transport during work hours (NBPL: 6A to 3:30P). Documentation [B/L] shall accompany each delivery.

Machines shall be functionally tested to include performance of the Quality Checklist prior to its delivery.

3. LITERATURE: Although the Bidder shall make known any variances to the Technical Specifications, synopsized literature describing the proposed machinery, i.e. Equipment Data Sheet (EDS), shall be submitted with the bid to Contracting for potential review by the Technical Liaison as to whether the proposal conforms to the requirement.

4. PROPOSAL: As a standard format for comparing potential Vendors, the Contractor shall quote the weekly lease rate for each Item type and capacity based on a minimum lease duration of three (3) consecutive weeks or as scheduled in the RFP, whichever is less, with the option to extend thereafter. Daily extensions for each Item with its associated ancillary hardware shall be billed at no greater than one-seventh of the stated recurring weekly lease rate. The Contractor’s proposal shall provide credit for any down time beyond forty-eight (48) hours (two days). The cost of shipping (round trip), hook-up, start-up, initial operation, and training shall be included as part of the lease. If an unforeseen circumstance that is not the fault of the Contractor results in the rental period for a particular Item being less than the aforementioned minimum / scheduled lease duration, then the obligation by the Government shall be either for its minimum / scheduled lease duration or the lease rate for the actual rental period plus due consideration for the transport company's actual shipping fees. Price comparison is based on the Government's approximation as to the expected lease duration to include anticipated EXTENSIONS (EXT).

5. REPAIR: The Contractor shall formally (written, E-mail is sufficient) inform the Contracting Officer, Supervisory Contract Administrator, and/or applicable Contract Specialist. The PNS Administrator Point-of-Contact / COR, if above $150K; and the Project's Operation (PEPM) / Execution (TSZM) POCs; as well as display on each machine the name and telephone number for requesting repair. The equipment will be operating around-the-clock under a rigorous off-site deployment performance schedule. Within twelve (12) hours (half-day) of initial notification of the need for repair, the Contractor shall have a knowledgeable and equipped technician on the job-site fully prepared to repair the rental equipment. The defective unit(s) shall be repaired within twenty-four (24) hours (one day) of initial notification or, if the original defective unit(s) cannot be made operational, replaced within forty-eight (48) hours (two days) of initial notification. If the equipment failure is not the fault of the Government, the Contractor shall bear all costs associated with its repair and/or replacement.

6. RETURN: The Government will dismantle the equipment and provide a temporary storage location convenient for Contractor pick-up. The Government will notify the Contractor as well as the Contracting Office as to when the rental Item has been released and is available for pick-up. The last day of the rental period shall be the next normal workday after the Contractor has been so notified. The Contractor shall be responsible for shipping. The Government can provide forklift services during work hours for placing the equipment onto the vendor’s transport.

7. SERVICE: Except for daily surveillance checks i.e. liquid levels, the Contractor is responsible for and shall perform all maintenance (e.g. refrigerant charge, oil changes, replace / clean filters, lubrication, coolant refills, liquid top-offs, etc.) for the duration of the lease. Coordinate maintenance w/ Executing POC particularly shut-downs.

8. START-UP: If requested by the Project, the Vendor shall: (i) start and run the equipment to verify its operability;

(ii) confirm that a set of operating instructions was previously delivered; and/or (iii) instruct designated Shipyard personnel on how to properly run the equipment to include its operation, control, daily checks, & service contacts.

For multiple sets of comparable equipment with essentially similar operation, the orientation given to a specific Project on a particular type and/or capacity of machine can be accomplished just once regardless of delivery.

C RENTAL SPECIFICATION — GENERAL MACHINERY & EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS

1. CONSTRUCTION: Except as noted for a particular machine type, units shall be a single integrated framed structure manufactured as a complete entity to include all devices, accessories, and fittings necessary to perform the function for which it was designed. Each unit shall be capable of continuous, year-round, outdoor, unmanned operation even at minimal loading while exposed from inclement (NBPL) to extremely harsh (PNSY & NLON) weather (e.g. deep snow, strong & gusty winds, and/or heavy rain) and varied ambient conditions (–10 to +110ºF & 0 to 100% RH). Machines shall meet State and federal requirements for its type such as the National Electrical Code (NEC) for electrical devices / components and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) for pressurized vessels / components. For emission producing machinery as required by the State, the Contractor shall obtain permits for the duration of the lease and affix them onto the units. Machines shall be modular in design so as to act as a stand-alone unit; compact so as to fit in the tight confines of a drydock; portable so as to be transported by forklift and then lifted by crane; and ruggedly constructed so as to endure a marine industrial environment. Multiple machines of the same type and capacity shall be of similar design and construction.

Machines shall be newly manufactured / completely refurbished and factory tested within ten (10) years.

2. DOCUMENTATION: Documentation will be located within a water proof case affixed to each machine. Minimally, the documentation shall consist of: (i) Technical Instructions (TIs) such as an Operations & Maintenance Manual, Controls Manual, and/or Electrical Manual with Schematics; (ii) instructions and a diagram on Lifting & Handling the equipment with its padeye(s) Certification; (iii) government Contract Number to include the cover sheet to the rental Contract; (iv) an Equipment Data Sheet (EDS), preferably on a single sheet of paper (can be double-sided), of the quintessential aspects of the rental machine to include a fan curve for machines with built-in air-handlers; (v) simple Operating Instructions, if not in the TIs; (vi) points of contact with telephone numbers for requesting emergency repair regardless of the time or type of day; and (vii) a copy of the Quality Checklist.

3. ELECTRICAL: Electrical components shall conform to a NEMA standard (NEMA 3 or 4) that allows for unsheltered outdoor use of the unit. Each machine shall require only one type / source of electrical power of either 115 VAC +5% / single-phase / 60 hertz or 460 VAC +5% / three-phase / 60 hertz. The type of electrical power required (voltage & amperage) must be clearly indicated on the outside of the equipment, readily detected, and collocated with all other electrical information. If not included in the synopsized EDS, the Vendor shall provide the Project Technical Liaison with the following details: (i) electrical power type (amperage & voltage); (ii) type of electrical connectors (for 3 Φ, specify whether or not equivalent to Duraline E1016); (iii) breaker type/size or recommended capacity for the electrical source; and (iv) whether the machine is furnished with over-current protection. Three phase powered (i.e. 460V) machines shall have panel-mounted male cam-lock connectors equivalent to a single Duraline E1016 for each phase if ≤285A (preferred, permits 2/0 cable) or ≤385A (minimum, but restricted to 4/0 cable) or below and equivalent multiple connectors for greater amperages.

4. LIFTING & HANDLING: Unless exempted in advance, machines shall be firmly attached to a single rigid metal (steel if ≥3K#) caged frame (base boxed w/ four vertical corner posts and four horizontal perimeter beams at top) with both multiple slots for forklift handling and, preferably, welded lifting padeye(s), which would result in and permit for safe single point lift operation using an overhead crane without special lifting or handling gear. To minimize a rigging delay or postponement, lifting points other than the preferred welded lifting padeye(s) (e.g. holes drilled thru structural members or bolted padeyes / eyelets) will require an advance design review - consultation -analysis by the Shipyard's Rigging Engineer (Code 713). The design safety factor for each lifting padeye or point shall be at least five (5) times the load based on ultimate strength. For equipment with two (2) or three (3) padeyes / points evenly spaced, the machine’s weight can be considered equally distributed. For equipment with four (4) padeyes / points, the loading shall be as if each lift point would support half of the machine’s weight. The strongest preference is for multiple padeyes to be aligned in the plane of the lift (i.e. padeyes point towards the center) and to be located above the machine’s Center of Gravity (CG). If the lift points are located below the CG, then the machine’s CG shall be accurately indicated as to both its elevation and position. The Contractor shall provide certification that each lift point meets the criteria described above by design (5 to 1 ultimate strength & 3 to 1 minimum yield) or by load test (2 to 1 w/ no yield). Such certification to include the Lifting Schematic along with any other lifting data shall be included with the documentation attached to the machine.

NOTE: The precise weight of each machine to include its caged frame shall be prominently displayed.

5. NOISE: When operating at full speed, noise levels must not be over 105 dB[A] (assumes hearing protection of 20 dB[A]) and preferably, 85 dB[A] or less (threshold for hearing protection) at six feet from the unit or frame unless a quieter noise level is specified. A hearing protection safety placard shall be posted on each machine generating more than 85 dB[A] at the unit's edge or frame. For equating noise ratings of a particular unit, noise intensity (energy) is cut in half, i.e. reduced by 3 dB[A], as the distance is doubled. Hence, a noise rating of 88 dB[A] at 3 feet and conversely, a noise rating of 82 dB[A] at 12 feet is equivalent to a noise intensity of 85 dB[A] at 6 feet.

6. PROHIBITION: For a nuclear shipyard with radiological controls, the colors yellow or magenta on either machinery or associated equipment are strictly prohibited unless approval is requested w/ pictures showing the colors prior to bid submission so that the particular machine / equipment color would be known for an RC List of Exceptions.
