3. REQUIREMENTS

3.1 General. The Contractor must conform to all requirements specified in SFLC Std Spec 0000 and in this item, as applicable, during the performance of this availability. The requirements in this WI applies to all work under

2 (Rev-1) the scope of this contract, whether explicitly stated in all following work items or not, and to all other work subsequently authorized by changes, modifications, or extensions to the contract.

3.2 Fire watch requirements. The Contractor must refer to 3.3.1.3 (Fire watch requirements) of SFLC Std Spec 0000, in accomplishing the following task:

Provide portable fire extinguishers for Coast Guard fire watch personnel. Coast Guard fire watch is in lieu of contractor personnel during the hours of 0800-1600, Monday through Friday, and limited to two Coast Guard fire watch personnel.

Provide fire watch personnel and fire extinguishers for the duration of the availability period, during and beyond noted Coast Guard fire watch support.

3.3 Preservation requirements. The Contractor must accomplish all preservation tasks, including touch-ups, in accordance with SFLC Std Spec 6310.

3.3.1 Brand name approval. Ensure that all contractor-furnished coatings are in accordance with SFLC Std Spec 6310, Appendix C (Authorized Coatings for Use on Cutters and Boats).

3.3.2 Coating colors and system color schemes. The Contractor must obtain a written KO authorization to deviate from any coatings required in SFLC Std Spec 6310 Appendix C before work.

3.3.3 In-process quality control measures. The Contractor must abide by all the safety, preservation, and quality control requirements specified in SFLC Std Spec 0000, paragraph 3.2.4.2 (In-process QC measures for “critical-coated surfaces”).

3.3.3.1 Quality control requirements. The Contractor must abide by the following when performing preservation related inspections. The following measurements must be randomly spaced throughout for the purposes of providing a representation of the entire prepared or coated surface.

3.3.3.1.1 Surface profile measurements. One surface profile measurement must be taken for every 200 square feet for the first 1000 square feet; for each additional 500 square feet or less, one profile measurement must be taken.

Profile measurements must be taken in accordance with SFLC Std Spec 6310, paragraph 3.1.8.3 (Surface profile measurements). A “measurement” for surface profile is defined as follows:

3. REQUIREMENTS

3.1 General.

17 (Rev-1)

3.1.1 CIR. The Contractor must submit a CIR for the inspections listed in the following paragraph(s):

3.2.3 Post-surface preparation cleaning and inspection.

3.1.2 Tech Rep. The Contractor must refer to SFLC Std Spec 0000, paragraphs 3.2.4.2.1 (Painting contractor certification program requirement) and 3.2.4.2.2 (Coating Tech Rep), for applicable requirements.

3.1.3 Protective measures. The Contractor must furnish and install all protective measures in accordance with SFLC Std Spec 0000, paragraph 3.3.3 (Vessel component, space, and equipment protection) to the following components, spaces and equipment:

All scuppers and overboard discharges.

Waterline area where U/W body coating system interfaces with freeboard coating system (unless freeboard surfaces are also being preserved).

Fathometer transducer surfaces.

Sea valve openings.

Propeller shaft bearings and seals.

Rudder bearings.

Propellers.

3.1.4 Interferences. The Contractor must handle all interferences in accordance with SFLC Std Spec 0000, paragraph 3.3.5 (Interferences). Known interferences include, but are not limited to the following:

Sea chest grating.

NOTE

The hull fairings are not to be removed simply as an interference for 100% near white blasting unless found to be failing.

3.1.5 Initial inspection. Prior to removing the existing coating system, the Contractor must inspect and verify whether all draft marks have permanent markings (weld beads or impressions), showing their location on the hull. Submit a CFR.

3.1.5.1 Fairing inspection. Prior to preservation preparation, inspect hull fairing condition. Submit a CFR.

3.1.5.2 Weld bead inspection. Prior to preservation preparation, using Coast Guard Drawing 627-WMEC 602-001, inspect all weld bead markings for draft marks and boot top. If weld beads are missing, make note of the existing boot top and submit a CFR.

3.1.6 Water used in preparation and washing procedures. The Contractor must ensure that water used in all surface preparation tasks, including pre-surface preparation wash and water jetting, is of sufficient purity and quality that it does not prevent the surface being cleaned from achieving the required degree of surface cleanliness or non-visible contamination criteria.

3.1.6.1 Ensure that surface preparation water does not contain sediments or other impurities that are destructive to the proper functioning of the cleaning equipment.

18 (Rev-1)

3.1.6.2 Ensure that all water used in any surface preparation or cleaning procedures is captured, contained, and all spent water disposed of in accordance with all Federal, state and local regulations.

3.1.7 Surface preparation optional methods. The Contractor has the option of using either high/ultrahigh pressure water jetting or abrasive blasting to achieve the required surface preparation, prior to application of the coating system specified in 3.2 (Preservation requirements). The Contractor may add abrasives to the water jet stream, for one or both of the following reasons:

Achieving greater productivity.

Achieving the required surface profile.

NOTES

1. Existing coating system on the U/W body surfaces may have a nominal thickness in excess of that which was originally installed, because of “patch-coats” applied during past drydock availabilities.

2. Water jetting without abrasive addition does not provide any additional anchor profile to the surface, beyond what was present after the previous surface preparation.

3. Whenever fleeting is required for any reason, if the U/W Body has not yet been fully preserved, the areas adjacent to all docking blocks must be fully preserved at least 2 feet in each direction prior to refloating the vessel. If the vessel will be placed onto a different blocking position, the areas in way of the new blocking position must be fully preserved.

3.2 Preservation requirements. The Contractor must accomplish the following tasks:

3.2.1 Pre-surface preparation wash. Accomplish low-pressure (less than 5,000 psi) freshwater wash of all affected surfaces, to remove soluble chlorides and other surface contaminants. Refer to SSPC-SP 1, for guidance.

3.2.2 Surface preparation and coating application.

The Contractor must accomplish the following tasks:

3.2.2.1 Prepare and coat the U/W hull surfaces with the system specified for “Underwater (U/W) Body and Boot-Top (U/W Body and Boot-Top, Steel Hulls (Up to 7 Years), in Salt Water”, in SFLC Std Spec 6310, Appendix A (Cutter and Boat Exterior Painting Systems). Ensure that the anticorrosive (AC) is tacky prior to applying the first antifouling (AF) top-coat.

3.2.2.2 Ensure that the first AF coat is applied over the AC undercoating, while it is still tacky.

3.2.3 Post-surface preparation cleaning and inspection. After completion of surface preparation and prior to coating application, accomplish the following tasks and submit a CIR.

3.2.3.1 Perform a visual inspection of the prepared U/W body steel substrate.

3.2.3.2 Perform solvent cleaning of all prepared surfaces, in accordance with SSPC-SP 1. Capture, contain, and dispose of all wastes from solvent cleaning, in accordance with all Federal, state and local regulations.

19 (Rev-1)

NOTE

Lists of all authorized coating materials and suppliers are listed in SFLC Std Spec 6310, Appendix C (Cutter and Boat Authorized Coatings).

3.2.3.2 Ensure the alternating color coats must be as follows: Red/Grey/Black/Red/Black. The first two coats are anti-corrosive, and the final three coats are anti-foulant in accordance with SFLC Std Spec 6310.

The first four coats are applied to both U/W body and boot-top. The final black AF coat is for boot-top only.

3.3 Draft mark painting. The Contractor must paint all draft marks with two coats of a “Polysiloxane” or “Silicone Alkyd Enamel” coating, at 2.0-3.0 mils DFT, white (17925).

3.4 In-process quality control. The Contractor must abide by all the safety, preservation, and quality control requirements specified in SFLC Std Spec 0000, paragraph 3.2.4.2 (In-process QC measures for “critical-coated surfaces). Surfaces being preserved are considered “critical-coated surfaces”.
