Questions and answers are issued to the Offerors for information purposes only.

Offeror must acknowledge receipt of this amendment by the date specified in the solicitation (or as amended) by signing block 15 below, by acknowledging receipt of this amendment on each copy of the offer submitted or by separate letter or telegram which includes a reference to the solicitation and amendment numbers. FAILURE TO

OF YOUR QUOTE.

All other terms and conditions remain the same.

Questions and Answers Question #1: We are working to provide RFQ for davit crane in question but can we please have a GA or photograph of the crane currently on the vessel?

Answer #1: Photos will be provided.

Question #2: Also what exactly is the davit going to handle and what certification is required?

Answer #2: 3500 lbs Utility skiff, general stores and maintenance parts. The crane will not lift the skiff with personnel on board the skiff. Certification required is API 2C. See Section C002 and C003.

Question #3: There is a New Deck Crane Foundation drawing (819-E330-01) referenced in the solicitation.

Would it be possible for us to obtain this drawing?

Answer #3: Drawings provided in amendment 0001.

Question #4: Our standard pedestal diameter for this size crane is only 24”, so we’d like to review before moving to the next larger size pedestal (30” diameter). We’d also like to see why it’s necessary to provide the pedestal in two pieces.

Answer #4: Minimum pedestal diameter of 26" is required in order for pedestal to land on structure below deck. The Pedestal shall be provided in two pieces in order to allow Contractor installed baffling inside the lower pedestal to be welded to the deck during installation and fabrication of the above deck foundation.

Question #5: For safety reasons, we would recommend against a free fall mode of operation on the hoist. We can provide an emergency hoist brake release function in the event of a loss of hydraulic power. Is this desired?

Answer #5: Specification Section C008 has been revised to delete the free fall requirement. Customer wants power down mode only for safety reasons.

Question #6: For safety reasons, we would recommend a maximum swing speed of 1.0 rpm. Is 1.5 rpm necessary for a certain operation?

Answer #6: Customer has requested a maximum swing speed of 1.5 RPM. Swing speed shall be variable.

Question #7: Does the crane require the API Spec 2C monogram be applied?

Answer #7: Yes, API Medallion is required. Solicitation Section C002 has been revised to reflect this.

Question #8: The requirement that the crane be “designed and built IAW API 2C 7th Edition.” (page 4, section

C002 of the solicitation) effectively makes it an offshore crane, and increases the dynamic factor to which it needs to be designed from 1.15 to 1.4, minimum. This will require increasing the size of the crane, and will increase the cost by a significant margin, in the neighborhood of 20%.

Answer #8: API 2C requirement is needed. The Operating Criteria has been revised for use with determining applicable API 2C requirements and design criteria. See Solicitation Section C003. Note the requirement for this crane does not apply the minimum dynamic factor in the API range.

Question #9: The Solicitation also appears to require design review by API, page 5, section C004. In our experience, design review to API2C is usually carried out by ABS. While this is routine for us, please know that this will also add significant cost, $10,000 or more.

Answer #9: This requirement is needed. Past accidents have shown the need for independent third party review.

Question #10: Regarding Paragraph C008, "CRANE DRUM," the amendment that just came out states that the

"... drum shall have a line speed of 50 fpm..." The original Solicitation, in section C001, states, "The crane shall be a hydraulic fixed boom marine crane with a single main hoist with a two part load block..." This brings up the question - are you looking for line speed of 50 fpm, or hook speed of 50 fpm?

Answer #10: Hoist Winch line speed shall be as defined by the Solicitation Section C008, 50 fpm with two raps on the drum. Hook speed with a two part block shall be 25 fpm.

Question #11: If line speed is 50 fpm and it is 2 parted, hook speed will only be 25 fpm.

That's really slow...

Answer #11: This is a customer requirement to match what they currently have.

Question #12: Would it be desirable to have us include the entire foundation in our scope? This way, the pedestal could be made in one continuous piece. After the foundation is welded into place, the deck plate could be welded on. We would recommend splitting the deck plate into two pieces to accommodate this.

Answer #12: The Solicitation Section C009 requires the pedestal to be between 26" and provided in two sections. The Contractor is required to install baffling as shown in the contract drawing 819- E330-01. The lower pedestal and internal baffling will be welded to the deck of the vessel and the above deck foundation shown in the Contract drawing will be fabricated and installed by the Government. There is no under deck foundation for this crane because this vessel was never constructed with a deck crane. This crane was sourced from another location and installed on this vessel with no structural foundations provided or installed.

Paragraph C002 The manufacturer shall design and construct the crane in conformance with the following standards:

Crane shall be designed and built IAW API 2C 7th Edition. - API Medallion is required and shall be affixed to the crane.
