OE606 Wiring for the heat detectors, manual pull stations and duct smoke detectors is shown as LS2SWU-3 (18-6(3-Shielded Twisted Pairs)). This type of wiring is not compatible with the King-Fisher provider's equipment. We propose installing LSTSGU-4 (14-3). Is this acceptable?

Yes, LSTSGU-4 is acceptable in place of LS2SWU-3 for wiring to fire alarm devices.

6 100 Engineering Please confirm that only one set of design and engineering deliverables will be required (not a set for each of 2 caissons). This includes production drawings, as-built drawings, launch plan, inclining plan, Transport/Towing Plan (assuming caissons are delivered separately, barge tie-downs/bracing/shoring and off-load lifting rig (again assuming caissons are delivered separately., Heavy weather-fire-flooding Protection Plan, hinged blind flange deflection calcs, reach rod calcs, and foundation calcs. We assume the weight reports, inclines, deadweight survey & incline reports will be produced for each caisson.

Confirmed, each caisson is required to have individualized testing reports, weight calculations, etc. Any submittal that is identical for both caisson does not need to be duplicated.

OA502, Note 5 states: After launch, concrete shall be installed to a level of 9’-0” above the baseline forward of FR 3-1 and aft of FR 3-2.

Concrete density in these forward and aft bays shall be determined after a lightship incline survey is conducted to

The 7'-6" layer can be installed prior to launch, as noted in OA502. The 'finishing' layer to 9'-0" ABL, in specified areas, can be added after launch, as specified in OA502. The 9'-0" height may be adjusted slightly to correct for list/trim.

Could the contract be structured in such a way that the Performance and Payment Bond requirement will be a separate bond for each Caisson, rather than a single bond that would run from award to completion (approx.

April 2025)?

PENDING RESPONSE

12 When/where will final acceptance happen if we are to store the first Caisson for 18 months?

Final acceptance and testing will occur at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.

13 If final acceptance is to happen upon delivery and seating of the Caisson, does the government understand that most of the hardware in the Caisson has a warranty of a year after installation? This would mean that upon delivery much of the hardware will be out of the warranty period.

The one year warranty period does not start until acceptance of the caisson regardless of storage timeframe awarded. '
