3.4.1. All equipment within shall be rate or unit proof tested. All required tests shall be carried out in accordance with the manufacturers written instructions. In the absence of manufacturers’ instructions, all tests shall be done by the use of weights as a dead load, limited to the percentage identified in the applicable reference/standard governing the testing of that piece of equipment. Typically, this is 110% or

125% of the manufacturers rated load for the applicable piece of equipment. Only where the equipment being tested is located in such a manner as to damage other equipment if load failure occurs during testing, may dynamometers or other recording test equipment be used rather than dead load testing. The

Contractor shall ensure that accuracy is maintained and proof loads adjusted accordingly. Dynamometers may, however, be utilized on fixed stationary equipment that has no range of movement outside the vertical plane.

3.4.2. Any dynamometers or recording test equipment, owned by an accredited person meeting the requirement of 29 CFR 1919, shall have been tested for accuracy within one (1) year of the start of this contract. Such test shall be performed with calibrating equipment which has been checked in turn, so that indications are traceable to the National Bureau of Standards.

3.4.3. Where the test equipment is not the property of the accredited person meeting the requirements of

29 CFR 1919, that person shall not issue any certificate based upon the use of such equipment, unless the owner of said equipment has made available a certificate of accuracy based on the requirements of this specification obtained within one (1) year prior to the start of this contract, and stating the errors of the equipment.

3.5 REPAIRS:

3.5.1. Should repairs be determined to be required during the inspection to either perform the proper load test to render the equipment certification, Contractor shall inform the Contracting Officer immediately.

Contractor shall if so authorized by the Contracting Officer, place the order for the required parts the same or next day. Parts shall be shipped to the site. Contractor shall be responsible for completing repairs to the equipment within three (3) days of receipt of parts.

3.9.6. The Contractor shall conduct a closing conference with the Coast Guard representative or the

CO/OIC at each unit, upon completion of the inspection. The purpose of this conference is to inform

Coast Guard personnel of the results of the tests and inspections, and to make recommendations related to the correction of deficiencies, maintenance procedures, operations and any other considerations for continued safe operation of the equipment. The Contractor shall immediately notify the Coast Guard representative or the CO/OIC if a piece of equipment is discovered unsafe to operate, so that the equipment can be immediately removed from service.

3.10. RE-INSPECTIONS:

3.10.1 If during any test or inspection defined in this specification, the equipment fails to meet the reference requirements, the Contractor shall re-inspect said equipment after the equipment has been repaired.

PART 2 PRODUCTS

2.01 NUTS, BOLTS, AND WASHERS: Nuts, bolts, and washers (lock and flat type) shall be 316 or 18-8 stainless steel.

2.02 HYDRAULIC HOSES: Hoses shall conform to SAE J517-03. Hoses shall also conform to the following:

A. Have abrasion-resistant stainless steel wire cover, or other chaffing gear to prevent abrasion or wear due to movement or vibration.

B. Have tags attached using materials that will not damage hose assembly in any way. Tag installation shall be done in a manner not to cause damage to hose assembly, and shall not interfere with the normal flexing motion of the hose. Tags may be stamped metal, engraved metal or plastic, photo etched metallic identification strip to provide durability. Tags shall indicate hydro test pressure and test date

(DD/MM/YYYY).

2.03 LIFTING SLINGS: Slings, new, four (4) each, shall be of 2-ply polyester construction, 68,000 pound lifting capacity, minimum, 30-feet long, 12-inches wide, with a 6-inch eye. Slings shall have sliding chine pads, three (3) feet long, keel pads with weights, three (3) feet long, and hot-dipped galvanized pins.

Slings shall conform to boat hoist manufacturer’s recommended application for load(s) applied.

Contractor shall confirm proper sling selection prior to procurement and installation of the slings.

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.01 GENERAL: Install all new, or overhauled components according to manufacturer’s recommended installation practices and in accordance with the specifications.

3.02 HYDRAULIC HOSE REPLACEMENT: Replace all existing flexible hydraulic hose with hose sized to match existing hose diameters, and operating pressures.

3.03 HYDRAULIC COMPONENT OVERHAUL: On-site hydraulic component overhaul is not permitted unless approved by the Contracting Officer.

3.04 ATTACHING HARDWARE:

A. Remove all existing hose clamp hardware. Replace with new corrosion resistant hardware.

B. Replace bolts, nuts, and washers with new stainless steel bolts, nuts, and washers.

3.05 HYDRAULIC HOSES: Hoses shall be capped prior to permanent installation to prevent interior contamination.

3.06 SLINGS: Contractor shall ensure all new slings are in accordance with manufacturer’s recommended materials, lifting capacities, and installed in accordance with manufacturer’s written and graphic instructions.

3.07 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FLUSHING:

A. All hydraulic tubing and hoses shall be thoroughly flushed. This includes all overhauled hydraulic components. During all flushing cycles, the hydraulic fluid shall be heated and circulated at a temperature between 140-160 degrees F. Flushing pressure shall not exceed normal system operation pressure for the piping involved. If piping permits flow in both directions during normal system operation, flow shall be reversed periodically during the flushing to insure complete removal of all contamination. Flow rates shall be sufficient to maintain turbulent flow in all piping being flushed.

System piping shall be cooled down to ambient temperature after flushing to avoid subsequent condensation formation in piping prior to the final filling.

B. The flushing machine with pump, heaters, filters, and hydraulic fluid shall be Contractor furnished.

C. Upon completion of flushing, refill system to recommended capacity using number 2135TH hydraulic fluid, approximately 110 gallons. Fluid shall be filtered through a 10 micron (absolute) filter prior to filling the system. Replace the system hydraulic fluid filter(s) with new.

D. Ensure all air is bled from the system.

E. Tests operate the equipment; check for hydraulic fluid and lubricating oil leakage, and proper equipment operation. No leakage is permitted.

3.08 LUBRICATION:

A. Oils, greases, and other lubricating compounds shall conform to the manufacturer’s written recommendations and instructions for use.

B. Graphite grease SHALL NOT be used to lubricate sheaves, lift connections, or roller assemblies.

3.09 OPERATIONAL LOAD TEST: Contractor shall perform an operational re-certification load test of the boat hoist upon completion of overhaul and repair work in accordance with the boat hoist manufacturer’s recommended instructions. Written results of the re-certification load test shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer within 10 calendar days of load test completion.

3.10 OPERATIONAL SAFETY FEATURES TEST: Contractor shall perform an operational test of all safety features on the boat hoist. Written results of the operational safety features test shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer within 10 calendar days of operational safety features test completion.
