STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

C.1. SCOPE OF WORK

C.1.1. The contractor shall furnish the necessary management, material support services, labor, supplies, and equipment deemed necessary to perform depot/intermediate level preservation on Los Angeles, Virginia and Ohio Class submarines. Work may be performed at one or more of the following locations: Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY) or Naval Station Norfolk.

a. Work shall be accomplished by personnel meeting at least the minimum qualifications set forth elsewhere herein and shall be provided onboard the submarine as required. Typical work performed during an availability, may include blasting, preservation, and surface preparation for complete or touch-up preservation for the internal and exterior tanks, bow structure, exterior and interior sail and/or turtleback, free floods, bow dome areas above the boot top, exterior hull, and non-skid removal and installation. Preservation work will include blasting and painting one hundred percent (100%) high solids and non-high solids coatings.

b. Additional work may include the cleaning of sanitary and other tanks, construction of scaffolding required to accomplish submarine preservation work, general shipboard cleaning, zinc replacement, and lead ballast removal and installation.

C.1.2. Critically coated surfaces and tanks require National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) or NAVSEA Basic Paint Inspector (NBPI) certified inspectors, blasters, spray painters, plural component pump tenders and applicators, who have work experience in extremely confining spaces with structural abnormalities, equipment interferences and limited existing access openings. Inspectors and painters must be highly experienced working in extremely confining spaces with the application and inspections of ultra-high solid Optically Active Pigment (OAP) paints including single coat systems and non-high solid paints (e.g. Sherwin Williams Fast Clad ER, International Interline 783, Navy Polyamide Epoxy MIL-DTL-24441 paints ). All tanks require the preparation and application of 100% coverage without additional access cuts installed and special blasting and application equipment/nozzles are often required to achieve this requirement.

C.1.3. A Ship Specification Package (SSP) or Statement of Work (SOW) shall be issued with each task order and will include the details of the work requirements, deliverables, documentation, training, inspections, and applicable Government, department, and industry standards.

C.1.4. The production schedule requirements for the tanks are of utmost importance to the Navy and shall be adhered to. The use of project management, supervision and quality assurance personnel that are familiar with this type of preservation process is extremely important. At a minimum, contractors shall meet the minimum personnel qualification requirements outlined in paragraph C.2 PERSONNEL.

C.1.5. Due to U.S. Navy or other customer commitments and schedules, task orders may be issued as emergent requirements. The contractor may be required to respond to more than one requirement (simultaneous task orders for more than one submarine).

C.1.6. Specific tasks can include the following functions:

a. Interior tanks, exterior tanks, pressure hull, non-pressure hull, Vertical Launch System (VLS), Retractable Bow Plane (RBP), Torpedo Tube Recess, sonar dome, fairwater, turtleback, and miscellanies recess/free floods; and may include hull components and other mechanical linkages/surfaces that shall be protected during blasting and painting operations to prevent damage. The components may or may not be removed by the Government during the availability. These components will remain in place unless Government work requires their removal.

b. Sound Dampening/Special Hull Treatment (SHT) Tiles

1. Reference (e) and reference (f) provide guidance on the preparation and preservation of dampening tiles. Surfaces beneath exterior tiles and tiles inside tanks are considered critically coated. All exterior tiles and tiles inside tanks shall be installed over a surface prepared to Surface Preparation Standard (SSPC)-SP 10 and painted (avoid filling perforations). CRES fasteners (studs, nuts, washers) used to secure Type II vibration damping and acoustic tiles shall be left unpainted.

2. The government/contractor will remove any sound damping tiles found to be damaged. Tightly adherent paint within one inch of damping and acoustic tiles does not have to be removed if the paint is in good condition as determined by NACE or NBPI certified inspectors. Special precautions are required for protection of the sound damping tiles. Precautions include starting of blasting operations at the lowest pressure and working pressure up until paint is removed, while keeping the wand discharge constantly moving. Areas of paint failure within one inch of tiles may be power tool cleaned to bare metal (SSPC-SP 11). If the sound damping tiles weep, the weeping will be addressed on an individual basis with removal only as a last resort. Sound damping tiles will remain installed unless they are damaged. Damage to systems, components or other items, including sound dampening tiles, incurred through improper blast protection/carelessness by the contractor will be repaired by NNSY and/or Contractor at the contractor’s expense in accordance with DFAR Clause 252.217-7012.

3. NNSY is responsible for stud replacement and installation unless otherwise specified on individual task orders.

4. Reference (i) and reference (j) provide guidance on the preparation, installation and preservation in way of SHT. All contractor personnel shall be trained and certified per the guidance of paragraph 3 of Section V of the Special Hull Treatment (SHT) Uniform Industrial Process Instruction (UIPI). NNSY will provide the necessary training materials and video noted in paragraph 4 of Section V of the SHT UIPI for the contractor to perform this training. Upon award of task order, contractors shall provide their company specific training/lesson plan for review by NNSY C (255) for compliance with the SHT UIPI. Contractor shall provide a printed copy of qualification and training records to the COR for verification and record retention purposes.

Qualifications will be verified prior to the commencement of any work.

5. Special precautions are required for SHT work because of special hazards associated with SHT tile, mainly toxic metals (lead) and hazardous waste from paint chips. Whenever preparing tile surfaces where tile coverply will be disturbed, various levels of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) will be required in accordance with Navy Occupational Safety and Health (NAVOSH) standards or Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Maritime Standard 29 CFR 1915.1025, Lead. The contractor shall supply all Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in accordance with the appropriate OSHA Standard list. Examples of typical equipment used include steel toed shoes, safety glasses, hard hats, ear plugs, fall protection, flashlights, chemlights and respiratory protection equipment. When respiratory protection is required the contractor shall furnish, train and fit-test the employee with a NIOSH approved respirator/face-piece, breathing air hoses, breathing air box/manifold and appropriate cartridges for the airborne hazard generated. Contractor personnel performing work under this contract shall complete OSHA Maritime Standard 29 CFR 1915.1025, Lead Training prior to reporting to work under any task order awarded under this contract. The contractor shall provide verification that each individual performing work under this contract is properly qualified and trained in accordance with NSI 009-74 and OSHA Standards.

a. Zinc Replacement includes the removal and installation of zinc anodes and continuity check.

b. Lead Ballast Removal and Installation. Lead ballast removal and installation typically includes the following: removal and reinstallation of sound dampening tiles, remove/retain lead bin canning plate, caning plates strongbacks and liners, remove lead ballast, cleaning of lead pigs, clean lead bin pockets, use of protective coverings/containments, surface preparation, preservation of lead bins, and reinstall lead. Contractor is responsible for lead cutting. Note: Contractor will provide all lead cutting equipment.

1. When lead is removed from lead bins, the structure shall be blasted to SSPC-SP 10 and preserved with an ultra-high solids paint, (even if the surrounding structure is being touch-up painted) prior to installing lead per reference (e).

c. When the contractor is responsible for staging, it will typically include all internal and external staging installation, modification, maintenance of and removal as requested. Staging may be required to support work being accomplished by the contractor and may be used to support NNSY at no additional cost to the Government.

d. Specific Preservation Requirements

1. The contractor will be required to provide all coatings, solvents and any other material required unless stated otherwise in the task order. The contractor will be required to provide samples of all paints (with copies of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and Certificate of Analysis (COA) or Certificate of Conformance (COC) with the receipt inspection test values) used in CRITICAL COATED areas to the government for receipt inspection prior to use as stated in the task order. The Government will perform the required testing for receipt inspection of all coatings as stated in the task order. Contractor shall only use QPL/QPD authorized paints that have received receipt inspection government approval. The Government is not responsible for paints failing receipt inspection and will be allowed to hold onto the samples until the issue is documented and adjudicated.

Contractor will provide copies of all laboratory reports from receipt inspections to the Government prior to application. The contractor will provide to the Government a report listing all paints and attributes of paints (e.g colors) utilized by the contractor by item. This is required to complete the docking report (PER SWT 997-00) and for entry into the Corrosion Control Information Management System (CCIMS).

2. The Government will perform an initial wash down of the hull, free floods, voids, and tanks upon opening. The contractor shall be responsible for additional cleaning to support blasting/ painting including fresh water pressure washing (2000 – 5000 PSI) of the surfaces to remove loose paint and salt deposits and other debris; clean to SSPC-SP 1 specification. Government inspection with contractor will be accomplished to determine pre-existing damage after contractor pressure washing is complete.

3. During work per this contract, the contractor will be required to re-preserve or touch-up paint of the tank/space, areas in way of staging, temporary services/interferences were located, access cuts, etc.

until the final acceptance of the tank or space by the project Government representative and Government Inspector(s). Government Inspection of this work is required. After the tank/area is turned over and accepted by the Government, any area disturbed by the Government will be touched-up by the Government. Tank Closure touch-ups will be completed by the Government (NNSY).

4. All tanks requiring blasting (SSPC-SP 6 and SSPC-SP 10) will include all surfaces to be prepared and preserved one-hundred percent (100%) (e.g. structural, framing, flasks, foundations, hangers, tank covers including main ballast tanks flood grates and appendages (welded, bolted, or removed as interference from the area) that are normally prepared and preserved). All removed appendages shall be identified/tagged and turned over to the contractor for prep/painting. Standard Work Items (SWIs) (commonly referred to as “042s”) or Engineering specifications (commonly referred to as “E-specs”) are equivalent to the Customer Contracted Team (CCT) MOA and are invoked in contracts for work contracted through MARMC. References (e), SWIs, Engineering specifications”) and reference (l) section 11 applies. Customer Contracted Team (CCT) is any maintenance organization (military, government activity or contractor) that is neither NNSY nor Ship’s Force (S/F).

5. NAVSEA Standard Item (NSI) 009-32, and reference (e) provide inspection criteria for each coat of the system applied. Paint failure defects are defined in paragraph 631-6.5 and Table 631-6-2 of Reference (l), NSI 009-32 and reference (e). For the purpose of this contract, cratering is not a hole in the coating.

Holes through the coating are pinholes, also known as holidays, as defined in paragraph 631-6-5 and Table 631-6-2 of Reference (l), NSI 009-32 and reference (e).

6. During surface preparation by blasting the contractor may be allowed to prepare inaccessible areas with power tools to SSPC-SP 11, as follows. The decision that an area is inaccessible and what the acceptable surface preparation shall be determined by a joint inspection and agreed to by the SUPERVISOR/Government prior to surface preparation. The degree of surface preparation required would be the maximum possible for that area in accordance with NSI 009-32 and reference (e). Inaccessible areas where the contractor is authorized to utilize power tools are to be documented on QA forms as “Inaccessible Areas” with a SUPERVISOR/Government signature included that area is inaccessible and what acceptable surface preparation is allowed.

7. Environmental controls will be maintained by the contractor as required in accordance with NSI 009-32 and reference (e). Copies of all Environmental OQE will be provided to the Government upon request.

e. The contractor will provide fire watches during any hot work producing operations. OSHA standards and/or the Safety and Health Divisions of the location of the work being performed shall determine if the work is a hot work operation.

f. Containment/Blast Protection

1. Each Task Order will identify whether the Government or the contractor will provide staging, containments, enclosures and aerial platforms required to perform the preservation work. If the contractor is tasked to provide the staging and containments for the outer hull, 100% of the blast grit must be contained and monitored for grit accumulation to prevent weight damage/personnel injury/collapse. No welding or stud welding will be allowed to the outer hull, pressure hull or pressure hull support structure or superstructure. The Government will stage the Outer hull radiation areas. If the contractor is to provide the staging it shall be installed, modified, maintained and removed in accordance with the requirements of reference (h) and 1915 of reference (k). If the Government provides the staging the contractor will not be allowed to tie contractor staging into the Government staging without prior approval of NNSY Staging Inspector. Contractor provided staging, containments, and enclosures around radiation areas will need to be offset as necessary to preclude entry into the radiation area by any personnel working aloft. The perimeter of radiation areas are clearly marked with magenta signs and rope by NNSY Code 105. The contractor provided staging will be used by the Government to perform inspections and any required repairs.

2. The contractor will be required to install, maintain and remove protection/protective covers in way of contamination producing operations. Government verification inspections shall be required prior to, during and after each of the contamination producing operation. The Government Representative shall be present at each contamination producing operation protection inspections. The post contamination producing operation inspection will require the contractor to remove “ALL CONTRACTOR CONTAMINATION PRODUCING OPERATION PROTECTION” and then reinstall the contamination producing operation protection prior to the next contamination producing operation evolution. Government may require the contractor to cover additional structure and piping that they identify as requiring protection.
