About this file
This is a Performance Work Statement (PWS) for WORK ITEM 1 describing the requirements for contractor-performed underwater hull cleaning and inspection of the USCGC MOHAWK, a Coast Guard cutter.
The contractor must clean the vessel's underwater body while moored pier-side and conduct comprehensive visual inspection of all underwater surfaces and components. Cleaning requirements include removing all marine growth, debris, and surface contaminants from hull plating, coating systems, transducers/sonar domes, shafts, propellers, rudders, sea chests, strainers, zinc anodes, and miscellaneous appendages such as bilge keels and rope guards—while specifically avoiding transducer surface cleaning and preventing damage to existing coating systems. Inspection requirements mandate surveying the entire underwater body for hull plating damage, coating system defects (peeling, blistering, abrasion), welding corrosion, appendage deformation, sea chest obstructions, propeller and shaft conditions, rudder integrity, transducer condition, and cathodic protection system status. The contractor must document findings using Paint Deterioration Rating (PDR) and Fouling Rating (FR) scales provided in the PWS and submit completed inspection data forms along with audio-video documentation with narration within 24 hours of completion. All work must comply with 29 CFR 1910 commercial diving operations standards, and the contractor must provide certified divers, tender teams, and support personnel. The work period is 17 AUG 26 – 21 AUG 26, with performance at CGC MOHAWK, 100 Trumbo Road, Key West, FL 33040. The point of contact is LT Michael J Gandara, Engineer Officer, at Michael.J.Gandara@uscg.mil or (206) 815-3497.
