TP-2 Corrosion Pitting Repair (Line Item 0002)

As directed by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall repair any rust pitting in scattered locations on the hull.

Weld fill all pits having a depth of 3/16” and greater. Since the scope of the pit repairs cannot be determined until after the vessel is dry-docked, offerors shall quote a unit price per pit. Estimate up to 250 pits maximum to be welded. Once the rust pits are filled with weld, grind them smooth with the exterior of the hull. During actual performance of this repair, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer if the repair will exceed 250 pits. The contractor shall not exceed 250 pits without a formal modification to the contract signed by the Contracting Officer.

TP-3 Hull Weld Seam and Crack Repair (Line Item 0003)

If directed by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall weld seams in scattered locations on the hull. The

Contractor shall vee-out (using a grinder) existing welds prior to welding seams and cracks. Since the scope of the weld seam repair, if any, cannot be determined until after the vessel is dry-docked, offerors shall quote a unit price per linear foot of seam. A quantity of 25 linear feet maximum will be used for comparison of quotations. For purposes of this provision a seam will be considered any line contact between two or more members. Payment for welding any seam will be on a linear foot of seam basis regardless of the number of members forming the seam or the number of passes required, as long as all welding passes affect substantially the same heat-affected zone. Lapped seams between parallel plates shall be considered two seams if each edge of each plate is welded. During actual performance of this repair, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer if the repair will exceed 25 linear feet.

The Contractor shall not exceed 25 linear feet without a formal modification to the contract signed by the Contracting Officer.

TP-4 Inspect Hull Compartments and Document Interior Condition (Line Item 0004)

The Contractor shall inspect all interior compartments of the vessel and document their condition. The Contractor shall submit a detailed report including location and photographs of each notable breach in the interior paint coating, structural damage and excessive corrosion point. The Contractor shall submit the report within 10 calendar days after the vessel has been delivered to the Contractor’s facility and shall include a proposal for any repairs necessary to protect the structural integrity of the vessel. The proposal shall only include the list of recommended repairs and shall not include any costs at the time of submission. The Government will make a determination if additional modifications will be pursued based upon the conditions report, physical inspection, reasonableness of the proposal, and availability of funding. If it is determined that a modification will be issued to cover the additional repairs, the Government will then request a quotation for the cost thereof.

TP-5 Anode Replacement (Line Item 0005)

The Contractor shall remove a total of eight (8) hull anodes (four each, bow and stern) that are positioned with welded clips transversely across each rake just above the baseline of the vessel. The Contractor shall furnish and install eight (8) plastisol-coated magnesium anodes sized approximately 18” x 9” x 2”.

TP-6 Grid Cooler Replacement and Cooling System Inspection (Line Item 0006)

Refer to contract drawing 473-D640-02 entitled “RECESSED KEEL COOLER ARRGT & DETS” and drawing II-K-2 entitled “ENGINE COOLING SCHEMATIC”. A past inspection revealed poor condition of the grid coolers and severe wastage of the grid guard anchor clips and bolts. The anchor clips were removed and new 1” x 1” steel grid cooler guards were fabricated then welded directly to the cooler recesses, port and starboard. Due to a long lead time new grid coolers could not be installed. The Contractor shall remove the existing grid coolers and guards, port and starboard, then replace them with Government-furnished grid coolers and guards. The grid coolers shall be reinstalled using new seals.

a) Proper operation of the new grid coolers shall be demonstrated to the Contracting Officer before acceptance. Proper operation shall be demonstrated by conducting a pressure test the grid coolers and all connecting piping and hoses. The test shall be conducted before the vessel is refloated, and for a period of 4 hours at the normal operating pressure (5 psi) of the system. The Contractor shall provide a test report to the Contracting Officer of the results.

i) The Contractor shall also drain the coolers and capture the coolant for recovery by the Government.

An equivalent amount of new coolant will be provided by the Government and returned to the cooling system by the Contractor. The Contractor shall coordinate with the Contracting Officer all work related to the repair of the grid coolers to ensure that the cooling system is refilled with new coolant as soon as practical after draining to prevent any rust/scale from developing.

TP-7 Hatch Cover Replacement (Line Item 0007)

The Contractor shall remove from the main deck the existing nine (9) Nabrico model NAB-DF-430-18D and twelve

(12) Nabrico model NAB-DF-430-24D 24” steel hatch covers and rings. Upon removal the contractor shall prepare the openings then furnish and install new steel hatch assemblies into the deck.
