Section C - Descriptions and Specifications

DESCRIPTIONS AND SPECIFICATION

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This Statement of Work (SOW) provides Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division – Ship Systems Engineering Station (NSWCCD-SSES) the ability to support various sponsors and stakeholders for various Navy Modernization Programs utilizing the Alteration Installation Team (AIT) process. This effort shall provide blue collar installation and associated technical services for upgrading Hull, Mechanical and Electrical (HM&E) systems and deploying technologies which improve availability, increase reliability, ship readiness, and decrease maintenance and workload requirements for machinery systems and components. The target platforms of installation are primarily on U.S. Navy Surface Ships and Aircraft Carriers. This SOW outlines general contractor requirements and will be supplemented by specific work statements in individual task orders. Task orders will vary in requirements, from full scope of the technical services of this SOW to narrow portions of the SOW.

SUBSAFE work will not be authorized under this contract. No industrial type work within SUBSAFE boundaries on submarine platforms will be authorized by this contract.

2.0 BACKGROUND

The mission of the NSWCCD-SSES is to transition HM&E machinery technology to the U.S. Navy Fleet, and support various sponsors for Navy Modernization Programs. This requires development and execution of various Ship Changes (SCs) to upgrade and maintain in a more cost-effective and timely manner the system/equipment readiness of various Navy HM&E systems.

This contract primarily supports small, minimally intrusive, turnkey equipment level modernization projects that are generally accomplished pierside at the various homeports outside of Navy Chief Naval Operation (CNO) availabilities. The SC installation process consists of multiple phases including but not limited to; advance planning, ship check, assessments, fabrication, prototype/proof-in install, final design shipboard installation, testing, and completion/close-out.

This contract covers blue collar support for installations primarily on U.S. Navy Surface Ships and Aircraft Carriers. SCs executed under this vehicle are considered minor in scope and impact, and are considered low risk or mature thus being used to mentor and develop the awardee(s) along a path to become viable support options for greater competition for future ship repair and modernization service contracts. Tasking will consist of non-critical path modifications that are not typically complex in nature, lack intricate system arrangement(s), minimally interface with distributive system and are not crucial for meeting key readiness milestones.

This contract does provide for task orders for ship/system maintenance and ship/system repair services that are fully bounded and conform to NSWCCD-SSES command repair process and policy. This contract does not provide services for “open and inspect” accomplishment. Examples of allowable repair work include:

(a) Equipment/system repair that interfaces with an approved SC and would need to be fully operational in order to successfully light off and test the SC.

(b) General maintenance items governed by NAVSEA Standard Items that are scoped below the cost effective range for solicitation on the standing ship repair contracting vehicle (MSMO) outside of an availability.

(c) Teaming efforts with established small and large blue collar installation contractors whereas work in this environment will promote and foster learning opportunities that develop the awardee(s) knowledge and experience to become viable support option. However, teaming partners cannot bill more than 49% of the associated task order.

3.0 Scope of Work

The contractor shall provide all required labor, materials, and resources to modify shipboard and shore-based systems. Industrial services include fabrication, system/equipment pre-install testing, shipboard installations, logistics/material support, Quality Assurance inspection and completion documentation. Additionally, the contractor shall be prepared to provide all necessary resources including personnel, consumables and tooling to affect ship system installations and surface ships in locations throughout the United States. Requirements and specifications, along with Government Furnished Information/Equipment, will be provided for each individual task order.

This contract primarily supports small, minimally intrusive, turnkey equipment level modernization projects that are generally accomplished pierside at the various homeports outside of Navy Chief Naval Operation (CNO) availabilities. Each individual SC will consist of multiple phases defined by the project tasking requirements. Determination of installation labor, material procurements and Quality Assurance requirements will be individually communicated by task orders and scoped to ensure contractors thorough understanding and adherence. Each tasking will provide opportunity for the contractor to enhance at least one (1) area of his experience portfolio as a bridge to become viable support options for large scale ship repair and modernization service contracts.

4.3 Quality Assurance

4.3.1 Contractor must maintain an approved NAVSEA 04XQ Quality Assurance Plan/Quality Management System (QMS) to support the AIT efforts tasked under this contract. All installation tasks require a Quality Assurance Plan. The contractor shall remain one hundred percent (100%) responsible for adherence to QA Plan requirements. The Contractor will maintain this system at no cost to the Government and submit all updates to the NSWCCD-SSES Program Manager immediately for his/her concurrence prior to start of installation.

4.3.7 Piping Designation - All systems shall be marked (in black) for identification.

This marking shall be the functional name of the system and, where necessary for differentiation between two pipes of the same system, the specific service shall be included. In addition to the specific service, the system pressure and direction-of-flow shall be indicated. For outside diameter of 2 inch and larger (bare or lagged) pipe, markings shall be painted on pipes or lagging using stenciled letters 1 inch high. Where pipe sizes are too small for lettering, label plates inscribed with system name and, where necessary, the service shall be wired or banded to the pipe. Piping in machinery spaces shall be marked at least twice, once near entry and once near exit. At the interconnection of systems each system shall be marked nearby, wherever this is practicable. Where piping is behind protective battens, one label plate should be attached to the batten. These label plates should be of the type and material listed on applicable drawings.

4.3.8 Valve Designation - Valve handles and operating levers located interior to the ship shall be color-coded. Where a valve is installed below a floor plate or grating or is similarly hidden (e.g., behind paneling) a marking shall be installed both on the valve and on the portable access plate. For valves behind vending machines, salad bars, or other semi-portable obstructions marking should be installed both on the valve and on an adjacent bulkhead, visible despite the object hiding the valve. Markings shall be inscribed on a circular label plate and secured in place by the hand wheel nut. Where the hand wheel size or location prevents the use of one of the above methods, markings shall be inscribed on a flat rectangular label plate to fit the valve or piping and wired to or similarly secured in place on the valve or piping adjacent to the valve. Attachment shall be in such manner as to prevent movement of the label and assure easy reading.

Insulating material shall be used as baking when label plates are attached to bare valves or piping to prevent electrolytic corrosion between dissimilar metals. Letters shall not be less than 1/8 inch high.

4.3.9 Instrument Designation - Label plates shall be provided for all indicating and recording instruments installed.

Inscription shall indicate the purpose or use of the instrument and shall bear the designation of the related component or system; wherever appropriate the label shall be installed below the instrument and on the plate supporting the instrument. Label plates shall be types and materials listed in applicable drawings.
