A. THE RMVA SYSTEM SHALL CONSIST OF A REMOTE OPERATOR STATION, WHICH IS DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO AN OPERATOR STATION ACTUATOR, WHICH IT DRIVES A SPUR GEAR PINION, THAT IN TURN DRIVES A LARGER SPUR GEAR (2:1 RATIO). THE LARGER SPUR GEAR HAS A WORM GEAR CUT IN THE CENTER OF ITS FACE. A HELICALLY WOUND STEEL CABLE HAVING THE SAME PITCH AS THE WORM GEAR IS IN MESH 180 DEGREE AROUND THE SPUR/WORM GEAR. THIS HELICALLY WOUND STEEL CABLE ASSEMBLY IS A CLOSED LOOP AROUND THE OPERATOR STATION ACTUATOR WORM GEAR AT THE OTHER END. THE HELICAL STEEL CABLE TRAVELS LINEAR THROUGH A CONDUIT ASSEMBLY SO THAT ROTARY MOTION AT THE REMOTE OPERATOR STATION REDUCES ROTARY MOTION AT THE VALVE STATION ACTUATOR TO OPERATE THE VALVE.

B. THE CONDUIT ASSEMBLY CONSISTS OF AN INNER CORE OF EXTRUDED TEFLON WRAPPED IN HIGH TENSILE STEEL WIRES, AN OUTER WRAP OF BRAIDED STEEL WIRE, ALL COVERED BY AN OUTER JACKET OF EXTRUDED TEFLON AND HAS SWAGE-ON FITTINGS. THE HELICAL STEEL CABLE IS TO BE COATED WITH SILICON GREASE. THE ENDS OF THE HELICAL STEEL CABLE ARE CONNECTED TOGETHER, FORMING THE CLOSED LOOP USING A CABLE/CONDUIT ACCESS ASSEMBLY CONNECTOR.

NECO

LEVEL C – PRESERVATION AND PACKAGING

Preservation, packaging and packing will be Level C defined as complying with the Contractor's commercial practice for shipment of material on a domestic basis that will ensure acceptance by the carrier.

INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE

Inspection and acceptance will be at destination, unless otherwise provided. Until delivery and acceptance, and after rejections, risk of loss will be on the Contractor unless loss results from negligence of the United States Government. Not withstanding the requirements for any Government inspection and test contained in specifications applicable to this contract, except where specialized inspections or tests are specified for performance solely by the Government, the Contractor shall perform or have performed, the inspections and tests required to substantiate that the supplies and services provided under the contract conform to the drawings, specifications and contract requirements listed herein, including, if applicable, the technical requirements for the manufacturer's part numbers specified herein.

Communications

(a) Except as specified in paragraph (b) below, no order, statement, or conduct of Government personnel who visit the Contractor's facilities or in any other manner communicate with Contractor personnel during the performance of this contract shall constitute a change under the "Changes" clause of this contract.

(b) The Contractor shall not comply with any order, direction or request of Government personnel unless it is issued in writing and signed by the Contracting Officer, or is pursuant to specific authority otherwise included as a part of this contract.

(c) The Contracting Officer is the only person authorized to approve changes in any of the requirements of this contract and notwithstanding provisions contained elsewhere in this contract, the said authority remains solely with the Contracting Officer. In the event the Contractor effects any change at the direction of any person other than the Contracting Officer, the change will be considered to have been made without authority and no adjustment will be made in the contract price to cover any increase in charges incurred as a result thereof Requirements for Access to the Norfolk Naval Shipyard

(a) Contractors’ representatives must be United States citizens. Representatives are to provide the NNSY Security Office proof of U.S. citizenship (i.e. DHS I-9 FORM. “Employee Eligibility Verification Form”). The I-9 is based on presentation of appropriate documentation that both verifies the employee’s eligibility for employment and denotes his citizenship status. Contractors can go to http://www.nnsy1.navy.mil/Security/docs/i-9.pdf to acquire the required form and completion guidance.

NOTE: The I-9 must be provided before a badge will be issued for unclassified contract work, for access to the shipyard. If the contract requires access to classified material, a visit request identifying the employee’s clearance status may suffice depending on the employee’s status within the JPAS database. In the case of contractor truck drivers, knowing some are owner operators, if they are carrying proof of citizenship they can be issued a badge for access to drop off/pick up material. If the truck driver does not have sufficient documentation and the sponsor is willing to escort the driver to/from the desired location, a by-escort badge may be issued.

(b) VENDORS/CONTRACTORS SHALL FORWARD ALL VISIT REQUESTS ON THEIR COMPANY LETTERHEAD SIGNED BY AN AUTHORIZED COMPANY OFFICER.

252 Vendors/contractors shall provide FULL name, FULL SSN, Date of Birth, Place of Birth and a specific statement attesting that the person(s) for whom they are requesting access are citizens of the United States. By so stating, the vendor/contractor is certifying that they have positive documentation of that person’s citizenship on file (i.e. a signed and verified EEVF I-9 form). The request shall also state the specific reason for the visit request and the specific date(s) for which they are requesting access to Norfolk Naval Shipyard (i.e., date of delivery).

253 Material Shipments: Upon completion of the above documentation, vendors/contractors shall fax the letter to the Material Division (phone: 757-396-3141 and fax: 757-396-1029).

254 Service contractor: Upon completion of the above documentation, vendors/contractors shall fax the letter to Technical Point of Contact listed in the contract.

(c) IF THE PERSON FOR WHOM THE VENDOR/CONTRACTOR IS REQUESTING A BADGE WAS BORN IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY, THAT PERSON SHALL BRING POSITIVE DOCUMENTATION OF UNITED STATES CITIZENSHIP TO THE NORFOLK NAVAL SHIPYARD PASS OFFICE IN ADDITION TO THE COMPANY LETTER. The additional documentation can be a birth certificate, passport or other official military documentation of United States citizenship.

252 If the person for whom the vendor/contractor is requesting a badge is a naturalized United States citizen, that person SHALL BRING THEIR ORIGINAL NATURALIZATION papers with them to the pass office in addition to the aforementioned company letter. Once presented, it will be entered in the database and be available for future use so this step will not be required to be repeated.

NOTE: PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING AS IT APPLIES TO NEW ACCESS REQUIREMENTS BEING IMPLEMENTED ON 1 October 2011

(d) Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC), has established the Navy Commercial Access Control System (NCACS), a standardized process for granting unescorted access privileges to vendors, contractors, suppliers and service providers not otherwise entitled to the issuance of a Common Access Card (CAC) who seek access to and can provide justification to enter Navy installations and facilities. Visiting vendors may obtain daily passes directly from the individual Navy installations by submitting identification credentials for verification and undergoing a criminal screening / background check. Alternatively, if the vendor so chooses, it may voluntarily elect to obtain long-term credentials through enrollment, registration, background vetting, screening, issuance of credentials, and electronic validation of credentials at its own cost through a designated independent contractor NCACS service provider. Credentials will be issued every five years and access privileges will be reviewed / renewed on an annual basis. The costs incurred to obtain Navy installation access of any kind are not reimbursable, and the price(s) paid for obtaining long-term NCACS credentials will not be approved as a direct cost of this contract. Further information regarding NCACS can be found at http://cnic.navy.mil/CNIC_HQ_Site/index.htm (under “Popular Links”).

(a) The offeror’s past performance shall be evaluated in accordance with FAR 13.106-2 or 15.305(a)(2), as applicable. This procurement is subject to Past Performance Information Retrieval System – Statistical Reporting (PPIRS-SR), authorized by the Department of Defense for use by participating activities during the acquisition of supplies and services.

(b) The purpose of the PPIRS-SR is to provide contracting personnel with quantifiable past performance information regarding delivery and quality, as collected from existing DoD reporting systems. PPIRS-SR uses the past performance data collected to classify each supplier’s performance by Federal Supply Class(es) or Service Code(s).

(c) Quality: The method used in PPIRS-SR to classify the quality of a supplier’s past performance is a comparison of quality records among all suppliers who have provided goods or services to the Federal Government which are categorized in the same Federal Supply Class or Service Class (FSC). Based on the comparison among suppliers in a specific FSC group, suppliers are classified by PPIRS-SR into a color rating that represents the supplier’s overall quality performance for that specific Federal Supply Class or Service Class. The following is a summarization of the PPIRS-SR classification colors:

(1) Dark Blue: Top 5% of suppliers in FSC group*

(2) Purple: Next 10% of suppliers in FSC group*

(3) Green: Next 70% of suppliers in FSC group*

(4) Yellow: Next 10% of suppliers in FSC group*

(5) Red: Bottom 5% of suppliers in FSC group*

* If all supplier performance ratings for an entire FSC group are equal, all suppliers in that group will be classified Green.

(d) Delivery: Supplier delivery past performance is classified in PPIRS-SR by the supplier’s percentage of on time deliveries. On time deliveries are calculated using the number of line items delivered and a weighting factor which reflects the length of time a delivery was overdue. (e) PPIRS-SR classifications are established monthly for each supplier and can be reviewed at http://www.ppirs.gov/. Suppliers are granted access to PPIRS-SR for their own classifications. Offerors are encouraged to review their own classifications as well as the PPIRS-SR reporting procedures and methodology detailed in the PPIRS-SR Procedures Manual and the PPIRS-SR User Guide available at http://www.ppirs.gov. The method to challenge a rating is also found on the identified website.

(f) Suppliers with no history in PPIRS-SR will be considered to have a neutral PPIRS-SR rating.
