COR.

4.22.7. Sea trial discrepancies must be corrected before the completion of the contract.

4.22.8. At the COR’s discretion, sea trials may be replaced with either a fast cruise or dock trials.

4.23 Tests and Inspections.

4.23.1. At least four hours (during normal working hours), in advance of conducting each required test and inspection, notify the COR in order to allow the COR the opportunity to witness, or to arrange for another NOAA representative to witness, the tests and inspections. For non ABS related testing/inspection, the COR must be present unless the COR has authorized testing/inspection to proceed without his presence.

4.23.2. Any test or inspection requiring the attendance of an ABS Surveyor will require at least 24 hour notice be given to ABS, unless otherwise instructed by the Surveyor. If the COR or other NOAA representative is not present at the scheduled time of the test or inspection, and if the required 4-hour advance notification was furnished to the COR, the Contractor may proceed with the test or inspection.

4.23.3. Contractor shall provide for all American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) inspections and support services for these inspections. A completed ABS Inspection report shall be provided to the COR for all inspections.

4.23.4. All tests and inspections shall be witnessed by the Contractor's supervisor responsible for the work. A Condition Found Report (See 4.1) shall be prepared to document the results of all tests and inspections.

4.23.5. To the extent possible, all tests and inspections shall be scheduled during the normal weekday work shift. Tests and inspections may be scheduled for other times only when necessary to avoid a delay in the contract completion. When necessary to schedule a test or inspection after the normal day shift or on a weekend, the COR shall be notified of the test or inspection at least four hours before the end of the last preceding regular work shift.

4.23.6. The Contractor shall perform an operational test of all newly installed, overhauled, and repaired equipment to demonstrate proper operation. Shipboard equipment will be operated by the ship's crew.

4.23.7. Whenever a "hose test" is specified, conduct the test by directing a 50-psig stream of water from a 1-1/2 inch fire hose through an all purpose nozzle at a distance of not more than 10 feet from the surface being tested. Direct the stream of water in a manner most likely to disclose a leak and inspect the opposite side of the surface for leaks.

4.24 Fuel Oil and Lube Oil Offloading.

4.24.1. Whenever the Contractor is required to or elects to offload fuel oil or lube oil from the ship, the oil shall be pumped to and stored in clean moisture-free storage tanks. Meter the oils with a calibrated meter during offloading and during return. Take test samples during offloading and during return, and have the test samples analyzed by a lab for water and impurities to verify that the oils were not contaminated while in the Contractor's possession.

Provide copies of lab reports to the COR. For bidding purposes, assume the ship will require 35,000 gallons of fuel removed, stored, and reloaded. Additional fuel removal shall be addressed by CFR prior to removal of additional fuel.

4.24.2. After all work which necessitated the oil's removal has been completed, return the oil to the ship. In lieu of storing the oil, the Contractor may accept title and responsibility for disposal of the oil and provide an equal amount of new clean oil, same as that removed. Test samples are required, even if this option is exercised by the Contractor.

4.25 Disposal of Fluids. Whenever work requires that equipment, machinery, piping, or tanks be drained of fluids, the Contractor shall be responsible for draining and proper disposal of the fluid in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. If the Contractor drains the fluid into the ship's bilges, the Contractor shall pump all fluid from the applicable bilges into dockside tanks and properly dispose of the fluid, including the fluid that existed prior to and the fluid that accumulates between the time the equipment, machinery, piping or tanks were drained and the time the bilges have been pumped dry by the Contractor.

2.2 ZAZZ Engineering drawing NOAA – Fairweather & Rainier Intake MRC/A60

Damper Combination.

2.3 NOAA Standard Specification 631 Coating Systems for Steel Surfaces

3.1 None

4.1 Background: There are six engine room vents located on the stack, three each on the port and starboard sides of the stack on the flying bridge deck. The vents are symmetrically placed and are mirror images of their counterparts on the opposite sides. The vents have traditionally had plasticized canvas tarps which can be placed over them during an emergency when engine room ventilation needs to be curtailed. In 2016 it was the determination of the NOAA Fleet inspection team that the plasticized canvas covers were no longer acceptable and had to be replaced with a fire safe boundary. This item replaces the existing fixed vent louvers with fire-safe and closable vent louvers and demisters in order to comply with USCG and ABS rules.

4.2 There is a significant, even likely, chance that Zinc Chromate paint and asbestos insulation is present in the areas to be worked. Contractor shall hire a certified HAZMAT sampling and abatement specialist. HAZMAT specialist shall take samples to determine the nature of any coating systems used in the area of prospective hotwork and remove any Zinc Chromate coating in way of hotwork using best abatement practices. Upon completion of daily work in way of Zinc Chromate, damp wipe all adjacent surfaces to remove potential Zinc Chromate contamination. HAZMAT specialist shall also sample any potentially friable asbestos in way of work and remove and dispose of asbestos in accordance with 29 CFR 1915.

4.3 To clarify which vents this item is discussing at any one time the following numbered naming convention shall be used: All vents on the starboard side shall have odd number designations, 1 being foremost, 3 being center most, and 5 being aft most. All vents on the port side shall have an even number designation, 2 being foremost, 4 being centermost, and 6 being aft most. See photo of starboard side below.

4.4 Contractor shall be responsible for procuring an A60 rated fire damper and demister system to cover the vents as described below. The demister system shall use a pull cord operating system and the Fire dampers shall have a 24VDC/AC actuator system. ZAZZ Engineering is a contractor that can provide a fire damper and demister system that is acceptable to the government. Alternative designs shall be approved by the Port Engineer before proceeding with an alternative design.

4.5 Contractor shall remove existing fixed louver panel from the vents 1-6. Contractor shall then create a mounting foundation proud to the stack to accommodate the mounting of the reference 2.2 MRC/A60 Damper Combo systems approximately 39”x 47” on vents 5 and 6.

Existing vents 5 and 6 are not rectangular. Vent openings 5 and 6 shall be modified to be rectangular as is required by the ZAZZ MRC/A60 system. The mounting foundation shall be made of steel and,where possible, bolt into place using the bolt pattern of the original fixed louver panel. Vents 5 and 6 will require a new bolt pattern due to modification to a rectangular opening. Contractor shall then install procured MRC/Damper structure on the foundation and make all electrical and other connections as necessary.

4.6 Contractor shall enlargevents 1 and 2 and the intake plenum (shared with vents 3 and

4) such that the opening to vents 1 and 2 are large enough to build a mounting frame with dimensions that match the reference 2.2 MRC/A60 Damper Combo of 38.5”x72”. The contractor shall build the mounting frame proud to the stack and shall install the reference 2.2 MRC/Damper Combo. Contractor shall make all electrical, pneumatic and other connections necessary to complete the scope of work.

4.7 Contractor shall construct a steel plate to cover vents 3 and 4 completely.. The plates shall match the thickness and original bolt patter of the fixed louvers that were removed. The plates shall be primed and painted to match the surrounding stack in accordance with reference 2.3.

4.8 Contractor shall operationally test the MRC/Damper system in the presence of the

COR and a contractor-furnished ABS inspector to verify correct functionality.

4.9 As soon as possible after contract award the contractor shall order the equipment in Reference 2.2 and deliver a CFR to the COR reporting the cost, lead time of the materials and schedule impact for completion of this work item.
