This is a Job Specification document for naval ship maintenance work on the USS TRIPOLI (LHA-7). The work involves replacement of deteriorated nonskid deck covering on the flight deck, specifically from Frame 53 to 93 on the port side of the island to port side of center, excluding a visible thermal spray nonskid area marked as "CRITICAL COATED AREA." The scope includes approximately 4,800 square feet of nonskid deck covering and approximately 450 square feet of nonskid material around structural members, bulkheads, deck fittings, and aircraft securing fittings with a maximum height of 7 inches above the deck surface.

The work requires inspection and testing of counter measure washdown nozzles and deck drains prior to and following nonskid installation, with documented reports submitted to the supervisor. The contractor must remove existing damaged nonskid deck covering through water jetting inspection, accomplish visual surface inspection for deterioration and damage, clean all areas to specified standards, and apply new markings using manufacturer color topping per referenced standards. Production completion is scheduled for 6/11/2026, with work beginning 4/13/2026 and ending 7/31/2026. Government-furnished materials include parts kits for countermeasure washdown nozzles, fasteners, metal sheets, and welding electrodes. The specification references multiple technical standards and drawings for surface preparation, marking requirements, and thermal spray nonskid application procedures, with an Engineering Liaison Memorandum (ELM 215035) providing detailed procedures for removing conventional nonskid overlapping thermal spray nonskid without damage.
