SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

H01 CONTRACT ORGANIZATION

A. PLANNING, ENGINEERING AND SCHEDULING

“Planning, Engineering and Scheduling” is line item 0001AA of the Contract and commences only after receipt by the Contractor of a Notice of Contract Award (Award) and a Notice To Proceed (NTP) with Contract line item 0001AA, “Planning, Engineering and Scheduling,” respectively. This phase is also referred to as Phase I in these specifications. In this first phase of the Contract, the Contractor is required to present planning information that demonstrates a logical, orderly and workable approach to the Contract and to complete the design, perform other production engineering, and develop the contract schedule.

B. CONSTRUCTION, TESTING AND DELIVERY

“Construction, Testing and Delivery” is line item 0001AB of the Contract and will commence only after completion of Phase I and receipt by the Contractor of Notice To Proceed with Line Item 0001AB “CONSTRUCT, TEST AND DELIVER.” This phase is also referred to as Phase II in these specifications. During this phase of the Contract, necessary records and scheduling documents shall be completed, the vessel constructed, tests and trials performed and physical delivery shall be made. This phase of the Contract is completed with receipt by the Contractor of a letter of Final Acceptance and submittal of all final documents.

C. PHASE SEQUENCING

It is intended that the two phases will be performed sequentially.

The time allotted for each phase spans an interactive process involving both the Contractor and the Government. This process includes preparation, review and approval of the phase submittals, contract administration, mailing, preparation and issuance of Notices To Proceed.

In order for the Contractor to plan the work and for the Government to properly apply Liquidated Damages and Termination Clauses, a graphic identifying the sequence milestones and the performance period allotted to each milestone has been developed and is shown on a following page.

The graphic shows the two basic Contract Phases. Each Contract Phase is further subdivided into the milestones that must be completed within each phase and the amount of time allowed to accomplish each. Note that the total time allowed for each phase of the Contract matches the “Required Delivery Schedule” in Contract Section F, Clause F02, “Performance.”

The graphic will be updated to reflect the successful offeror’s proposed schedule if it is shorter than the required schedule.

The milestones and periods of performance identified in the graphic are contract requirements.

The Contractor must be aware that the quality, completeness and detail of the submittals have a direct bearing on the approval process. Extended review iterations will extend the time necessary to receive approval of the submittals and will subject the Contractor to assessment of Liquidated Damages or Termination for Default.

Refer to Contract Clause H05 for information concerning the submittal review process.

H03 DESIGN REQUIREMENTS

The Contractor shall provide the necessary engineering to develop the Final Design of the vessel.

The weight estimate shall be updated monthly in accordance with Section C, Clause C115.

A torsional analysis of the propulsion system shall be performed.

All drawings required to be developed and/or finalized by the Contractor shall comply with these requirements.

Structural drawings shall delineate all structural members, brackets, plating and plate seams, all welding and all joint details complete with all dimensions noted.

“Typical” views may be used for numerous repetitions of identical or mirror images. Every effort shall be made to make the design consistent from sheet to sheet and drawing to drawing. If necessary, calculations showing that all foundations, under-deck structure and headers shall meet the requirements of IACS and any specific requirements of Section C and shall be submitted with the associated drawings. The calculations shall be clearly annotated as to specific requirement being addressed and explanation of all assumptions.

The propulsion system shall be defined with main engine and propellers selected.

If necessary, calculations justifying the engine and propeller selections shall be submitted with the associated drawing.

For the mechanical systems, all pumps, compressors, heat exchangers, hydraulic components and machinery, deck machinery and ancillary equipment shall be sized and selected. The mechanical system drawings shall show all valves, filters, controls, receivers, pumps, strainers, sea chests, consumers, takedown, separators and other principal features or devices. The drawings shall consist of a system schematic and a Material List and an Equipment List, and where necessary to show equipment locations, a detailed system drawing superimposed on a vessel arrangement and necessary sections and elevations on subsequent sheets. If necessary, calculations sizing the equipment shall be submitted with the system drawing. These calculations shall include the sizing of piping systems and pumps.

Catalog cut-sheets of all equipment shall be submitted with the drawing.

Major equipment on arrangement drawings (engines, motors, pumps, strainers, etc.)

shall be shown in actual outline form (not schematic or by block).

HVAC systems shall be defined and will include the calculations of fan and blower sizes and powers, heating and air conditioning equipment sizing and duct sizing.

The HVAC system drawings shall consist of a system schematic and a diagrammatic of the system superimposed on a vessel arrangement with a Material List and an Equipment List and necessary sections and elevations on the second and subsequent sheets. An HVAC load analysis shall be completed. These calculations shall be submitted with the system drawings.

The electrical system shall be defined with consumers identified and quantified, controls and switchgear identified, a complete load analysis, short circuit analysis and one line diagram prepared and generator sets selected. Cabling and lighting drawings shall be prepared using the general arrangements for background.

Joiner details and material selection shall be worked out with schedules for sheathing, insulation, doors, windows, furniture, fixtures, etc.

Any drawing submitted without the required calculations, as stated herein or in the appropriate clause of Section C, will not be considered a formal submittal and will not be reviewed.

During the development of the Final Design, the Contractor may discover circumstances that dictate a need to change some of the equipment or materials specifically required by the Contract. Examples of this situation might be that the item is no longer available, or the lead time is too great to meet the vessel delivery. Such circumstances shall be immediately identified to the COR by letter for resolution, along with a proposed solution.
