YC 1489 STATEMENT OF WORK

04/01/2015

1.0 General Requirements: This document invokes the requirements applicable to the docking and maintenance work to be performed on one each YC-1469 Series Open Lighter Barge. Work performed and accomplished shall be in accordance with the highest quality workmanship standards and practices commonly accepted in the commercial marine industry and the technical references listed herein. The Contractor is responsible for understanding and complying with all requirements specified herein.

The requirements listed herein work in conjunction with the technical drawings and other references to describe the essential features, functions, and requirements of the work performed.

1.1 Vessel Characteristics:

OPEN LIGHTER (YC-1489) Built by SAN DIEGO MARINE

Length: 100 FT Draft: 8 FT

Width: 32 FT Full Displacement: 694 Tons

Age: 46 YRS Light Displacement 144 Tons

Hull Type: Steel

1.2 Scope Overview: Coordinate with the Contracting Officer, via the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) to deliver the vessel to the Contractor’s facility. Dock, wash, and clean the exterior surfaces of the vessel upon docking. Blast and preserve all exterior surfaces of the vessel. Shift the vessel on the blocks to achieve 100 percent preservation of underwater hull. Remove existing and install new zinc anodes.

Hull and main deck require ultrasonic measurement of plating thickness and repair of areas below minimum thickness. Vessel requires inspection for damage and deterioration (hull, main deck, and tanks/voids–plating and framing). Apply new non-skid system to main deck. Open, clean, inspect, and test tanks. Accomplish partial preservation of 6 tanks. Undock the vessel. Arrange and coordinate the delivery of the vessel back to the Government with the Contracting Officer via the COR.

In the event difficulty is encountered in meeting requirements or difficulty is anticipated in complying with the contract schedule dates, immediately notify the Contracting Officer via verbal communication with the COR. Provide the COR a written report stating pertinent details as to why requirements cannot be met the following work day. Receipt of this notification by the Government is not to be construed as a waiver of the requirements, delivery schedule, or waiver of rights or remedies provided by law or under this contract, or any other requirements in the PWS relating to jeopardy of contract schedule dates. Submission of this report does not authorize the Contractor to perform additional work not covered by the contract or authorized by the Contracting Officer.

1.21.1 When work does not require a report, and one is determined to be necessary in order to produce a reliable or complete repair, submit one legible copy, in approved transferrable media, of a report with supporting data as early as possible in the contract period to the Contracting Officer, via the COR. The goal is to have required work completed within the original contract period.

1.21.2 For required reports that could result in a change in work to be accomplished or additional material to be procured, complete the preliminary work and submit one legible copy, in approved transferrable media, of the required report in a time frame to allow the Contracting Officer, via the COR, to initiate early action, but no later than the first 20 percent of the availability.

1.21.3 Drydock related inspection reports shall be submitted no later than the first 20 percent of the scheduled docking period. Drydock related reports which contain readings (final, thickness, etc.) clearances, alignments, test results, or other such data for work that has to be completed prior to pre-flood/undocking, shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer, via the COR, within 24 hours after recording the data but no later than 72 hours prior to pre-flood/undocking, whichever occurs first.

Minimum clearance shall be 12 inches for bringing the vessel into or out of dock and performing any work inside the dock. Ensure hull openings are not obstructed. Ensure a 40 inch minimum clearance between the keel and dock floor for vessels with more than 12 inches of dead rise and a 60 inch minimum clearance between the keel and dock floor for vessels with less than 12 inches of dead rise.

3.1.3.3 The blocking plan shall be accompanied by a written request for approval to the GDO a minimum of 4 working days prior to the scheduled docking date. The use of haul, fixed, or fitted blocks shall be clearly stated.

3.1.3.4 The use of universal docking blocks is prohibited.

3.1.4.1 The aspect ratio for un-cribbed keel blocks shall not exceed

2.0 where the aspect ratio is defined as the height divided by the horizontal dimension for the longitudinal and transverse direction, each checked separately.

3.1.4.2 Side blocks with a longitudinal dimension less than 24 inches shall be longitudinally braced or cribbed when their height as measured from the base to the highest corner of the soft cap exceeds 3 times the longitudinal dimension.

Bracing shall be by an approved method Bracing shall be in accordance with NSTM

CH 997.

3.1.4.3 Blocking shall be constructed of hardwood or composite hardwood/concrete and soft caps, with at least 2 inches of soft cap thickness.

Blocking material construction requirements are as follows:

3.1.4.3.1 The term “hardwood”, for the purposes of this

contract, includes White Oak, California Laurel, Oregon Myrtle, Iron Wood, Blue Gum, American Rock Elm, or preserved Red Oak. The normal lifespan for hardwood blocking is approximately 10 years.

3.1.4.3.2 Woods acceptable for use as soft caps are

Douglas Fir, Tamarack, Long Leaf Pine, or Hemlock.

3.1.4.3.3 Composite blocking showing evidence of spalling

and cracks or chipped and damaged concrete is not acceptable.

3.1.4.4 Blocking showing evidence of excessive crushing, warping, cracking, checking, rotting, or damage from dogging, loss of contact at edges caused by cracking or unequal shrinkage or deterioration to an extent no longer being capable of supporting a prescribed load over full bearing areas is not acceptable and shall be replaced.

3.1.5 Setting and Alignment of Docking Blocks: Furnish, set, record, and align the blocks in accordance with the Government approved Contractor blocking plan and in accordance with the requirements of NSTM Chapter 997. Prepare dry dock for inspection at least 24 hours prior to the proposed docking. Notify and accomplish an inspection of the blocking with the GDO in a timeframe sufficient to make blocking changes. Submit documentation of the inspection showing blocking, sighting marks on dock coping relative to block locations, spacing, offsets, heights, and shaping to the GDO at least 4 hours prior to flooding the dry dock. Immediately prior to flooding the dry dock, perform a final inspection with the GDO to ensure that no loose trash, wood, equipment, and other extraneous matter could float up during flooding and interfere with/delay the docking operation.

3.1.6 Stability Calculations: Not Used.

3.1.7 Docking Conference: Perform a docking conference attended by the

GDO and COR, the Contractor’s Dock Master, the pilot who will be present during the docking evolution, and required dive personnel within 4 working days prior to the scheduled docking of the vessel.
