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. Develop 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 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. The Dock Master shall discuss the time of docking, tide situation, weather conditions, tug and pilot arrangements, line handling, electrical shore power, grounding, safety issues, safety concerns, other services and procedures.

3.1.7 Docking the Vessels: Dry dock each vessel without strain. Immediately after docking, electrically connect the vessel hull at the bow and stern of vessel for protection against lightening and other static charges in accordance with the requirements of NSTM Chapter 074 Volume One, and NSTM Chapter 997.

3.1.7.1 Notify the GDO a minimum of 48 hours prior to actual docking, shifting, or undocking of vessel.

3.1.8 Post Docking: Prepare and inspect each vessel underwater hull surface as follows:

3.1.8.1 Immediately after docking, perform a visual inspection of the underwater portions of each vessel with the GDO for damage and deterioration. Inspect the fit on the blocks and furnish necessary shimming between the blocking and the hull to prevent hull movement and to ensure 100 percent block contact with the hull structure.

3.1.8.2 Within 8 hours of docking, wash the underwater hull and fittings with fresh water at a minimum of 3,000 PSIG nozzle pressure to remove dirt, slime, marine growth, fouling and other foreign substances.

3.1.8.3 Comply with federal, state, and local laws and ordinances for disposal of wash water and debris removed from underwater portions of the vessel.

3.1.9 Shifting the Vessels: Relocate each vessel on the dry dock blocks to permit 100 percent preservation and painting of areas initially covered by the dry dock blocks. Relocation of each vessel shall occur after the proper cure time has elapsed after application of the final coat of hull preservation.

3.1.10 Undocking the Vessels: After completion of work, undock each vessel at a time and date agreed upon by the GDO and the Contractor. Perform an undocking conference similar to the Docking Conference of 3.1.6 within 3 days of undocking. Immediately prior to flooding the dry dock, perform an 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 undocking operation.

3.1.10.1 Immediately after each vessel lifts off the blocks stop flooding the dry dock. Accomplish a watertight integrity check of each vessel with the COR. Continue flooding of the dock when directed by the GDO.

3.1.10.2 After each vessel has cleared the blocks, perform a visual inspection of the underwater hull surfaces to ensure that no soft caps are adhered to the hull surfaces. Perform a visual inspection of the docking blocks to account for all soft caps and to ensure that no blocks are adhered to the underwater hull structure of the vessel.

3.1.11 Docking Observer: The Docking Observer is the Government official certified by the Government as qualified to execute the duties of a Docking Observer. The presence of the Docking Observer is for protecting the Navy’s interests, not to give direction to the Contractor. However, the Docking Observer shall have the authority to stop the docking, undocking or launching evolution when the vessel safety or other Navy interests are jeopardized. This authority does not imply limitations on or responsibility for the actions of the Contractor’s Dock Master.
