PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

For

USAV SSGT Robert T Kuroda (LSV-7) Bow Ramp

GENERAL

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform a thorough underwater cleaning, lifting and securing to a barge, perform a technical inspection, and repair the Bow Ramp of an Army Logistics Support Vessel (LSV)-7 watercraft.

1.2 The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

Background: The 411th Transportation Detachment LSV-7 Bow Ramp has experienced a hydraulic failure caused by at least two known leaks. One is a 1 ½ inch hydraulic hose supplying hydraulic oil to the ramps mid-section and a terminal block attached to one of the inboard cylinders that lift the ramp in its entire length. The bow ramp is now partially submerged in the ocean and will require a barge with heavy lift crane or something of the sort to lift the ramp onto the barge or in the stowed position on the vessel to be further inspected. The lifting action required will be left up to the experts/Contractor to address. The dry weight of the ramp is 66.55 US tons or 133,100 lbs. The engineer crew members of the LSV-7 conducted troubleshooting steps to stop the leaking and removed the ruptured hose and installed a new 1 ½ inch hydraulic hose. The crew attempted to operate the ramp when it found that one of the four terminal blocks attached to the inboard cylinder was also leaking from between the mating surface. Due to its location on the vessel the crew was unsuccessful in removing the block due to stripped Allen bolt heads.

Extraction of these bolts were attempted as well with no success. No other maintenance procedure can be conducted per the TM by the crew due to the procedure being listed as a Sustainment Level Repair. The Army does not currently possess a complete list or drawing depicting all of the electrical or hydraulic components in detail, therefore some of the items that will need to be replaced or rebuilt will have to be determined once the ramp is lifted, cleaned and inspected.

1.3 Objectives: The LSV-7 bow ramp to be cleaned, lifted and secured to a barge, inspected, and repaired.

Scope: Contractor will provide underwater pressure washing or cleaning prior to the ramp being lifted out of the water. This should be conducted the same as a hull cleaning is done. This will help mitigate the need for containment and disposal. The Contractor will provide heavy lifting capability (ramp weight 66.55 U.S. tons), rigging and other components to lift the ramp onto a barge provided by the Contractor. Contractor will also provide dive support and lashing to the barge. Once the ramp has been lifted out of the water, cleaned, and inspected, the Contractor will provide the Army a clearly written report as to the condition of the ramp and what should be replaced or rebuilt in conducting the repairs. The Contractor will provide this report and a follow-on quote for the repair. After negotiation, the repair quote the contract will be modified to incorporate as a firm-fixed price to the unpriced Repair contract line item.
