The Government does not consider the weight estimate to be suitable for detailed bidding purposes. The Government is not responsible for Contractor use of the weight estimate in bid preparation.

C. WEIGHT & CENTER OF GRAVITY ESTIMATES & MONITORING

The Contractor shall implement a careful weight estimating and monitoring procedure.

During Phase II, the Contractor shall update the weight and center of gravities (CG) each month with details on the final equipment selected and purchased, and system/outfitting design developments. The weight estimate shall be submitted monthly as document #843-C115-01.

During the Construct and Test Phase (Phase III), the Contractor shall continue to update the weight and CG estimate each month. The update shall reflect actual equipment location, quantity and location of piping and wiring runs, actual quantity and location of outfitting items, and any changes to the structural weight.

The Government will review the monthly weight estimate to ensure the anticipated draft, and trim and stability conditions of the barge are satisfactory. If weight growth that adversely impacts the vessel’s trim and stability is found, the Government will coordinate with the Contractor to determine the cause and develop remedial action.

D. INCLINING & DEADWEIGHT SURVEY

Upon completion of all work and prior to the crane being placed on the barge the Contractor shall conduct an inclining test and deadweight survey. The inclining test shall be carried out in accordance with ASTM F 1321-14 and contract Clause E05. The Contractor shall be responsible for developing the inclining test procedure/plan, providing all certified inclining weights, pendulum setups, support equipment and personnel, directing the experiment, recording all data and completing the inclining test report. The Government will participate in the incline experiment as a witness.

The Contractor shall prepare an inclining test procedure/plan and submit it to the Government and ABS for review and approval. The plan shall be numbered 843-C115-02 and titled “INCLINE EXPERIMENT PLAN.” For the Government’s review, the plan shall be submitted at least 60 days prior to the scheduled inclining.

Based on the required ABS Statements of Fact, ABS will require engineering review and surveyor witness with the inclining experiment. The Contractor shall coordinate submittals and on-site surveyor representation with ABS to ensure the construction and testing schedules are maintained.

Following the completion of the inclining experiment, the Contractor shall complete the incline test report and determine the lightship displacement, centers of gravity and hydrostatic properties of the barge. The report, numbered 843-D115-03 and titled “INCLINE EXPERIMENT RESULTS”, shall be submitted to the Government and ABS for review and approval.

A. REFERENCE DRAWING

731-E170-01 DRY DOCKING PLAN

B. DESCRIPTION OF WORK

The Contractor shall develop a dry docking plan for the vessel. The dry docking plan shall be numbered 843-C170- 01 and titled “DRY DOCKING PLAN.” The dry docking plan calculations shall be numbered 843-C170-02 and titled “DRY DOCKING PLAN CALCULATIONS.” Both documents shall be submitted to the Government for review and approval during Phase II. Following the completion and approval of the incline results, the Contractor shall update these drawings and reports reflecting the as-built condition and submit it (as 843-D170-01 and 843-D170-02) to the Government for review and approval. For additional requirements on drawing development and submission for review, see clause H12 of this contract.

The dry docking plan shall be developed to show the blocking arrangement. The blocks to be used for docking shall be the standard dry docking blocks from the US Army Corps of Engineer’s Ensley Shipyard & Repair Facility in

Memphis, TN as shown on the reference drawing. The blocks used for the docking shall hold the barge in the following loaded condition:

• 50% fuel oil

• 50% potable water

• Empty black water tank

• Empty waste oil tanks

• Empty ballast tanks

The plan shall show all major hull structure on the bottom including all transverse and longitudinal bulkheads connecting with the bottom shell, as well as anodes, seachest, and other features which could interfere with the setting and shifting of docking blocks.

The plan shall also include an alternate blocking arrangement to allow for the servicing of all areas of the bottom of the barge. No block shall remain in the same position on the alternate blocking plan as it was on the primary dry docking plan.

The blocks shall be located to evenly distribute the loads and avoid undue stresses within the hull structure. Blocks shall be located in way of main structural, longitudinal, and transverse bulkheads wherever possible. Where blocking is located on frames other than bulkheads, appropriate docking brackets shall be designed and installed within the hull. Docking bracket details shall be shown on the structural drawings. If the end(s) of the vessel are unsupported, the Contractor shall provide calculations with the plan submittal showing that the hull strength is adequate to handle the cantilevered load.

The dry docking plan shall contain all of the information contained in the reference drawing to include:

• Dimensioned drawing of the docking block

• Total area covered by the docking blocks for each plan

• The maximum block loading (kips/foot-squared)

• Lightship weight determined by the Inclining Experiment, its LCG and VCG o For the Phase II submittal, substitute the weight from the most recent revision of 843-C115-01.

• Full load weight as determined by the as-built Stability Calculations and its LCG*

• Load condition for which the plan was developed*

* - The Government will provide this information when requested by the Contractor.

C180 NOISE & VIBRATION

A. NOISE & VIBRATION SURVEY

The Contractor shall retain the services of an acoustical engineering firm to complete a Noise and Vibration Survey at the conclusions of the Tests and Trials. A possible source for the survey is Noise Control Engineering (Billerica, MA (978) 670-5339). The airborne noise and vibration levels shall be measured in all compartments, deck locations and spaces identified in paragraph C of this Clause below. The noise and vibration survey shall be designated as 843- D180-01 and titled “NOISE & VIBRATION SURVEY.”

A report shall be prepared by the Contractor detailing the survey and test results. The report shall include sketches of the spaces measured with recorded sound levels denoted at the location of their measurements. Reduced size general arrangement drawings will be acceptable for this purpose. The Contractor shall take corrective action as necessary to achieve the required noise criteria. The report shall describe any compartments which present a noise hazard according to OSHA regulation, 29 CFR 1910.95 “Occupational Noise Exposure”.

B. NOISE LIMITS

The treatments specified by the Contractor shall achieve the sound pressure levels given below.

Hold Level

• Storage Space 85-db(A)

• Machinery Room 90-db(A)

• Rigging Room 90-db(A)

• Stateroom 1 65-db(A)

• Stateroom 2 65-db(A)

• Head 75-db(A)

• Spud Winch Room 4-S 90-db(A)

• Spud Winch Room 4-P 90-db(A)

• Spud Winch Room 6-S 90-db(A)

• Spud Winch Room 6-P 90-db(A)

Main Deck Level

• Machine Shop 80-db(A)

• Head 75-db(A)

• Admin Office 75-db(A)

• Exterior Work Deck 85-db(A)

• Exterior Work Deck Outside 20’ Radius of Generators 85-db(A)

The noise survey during tests and trials, shall be based on the average of the broadband sound pressure levels taken at various representative locations in the reverberant field of the compartment or space in question. Values should be measured using the A-weighted scale with the meter set for slow response.

If the noise limits are exceeded and it is found that the excess is due to poor workmanship or quality control, the shipyard shall correct whatever deficiencies that are identified by the excessive noise.

C. VIBRATION LEVEL TARGETS

The vibration limit for the vessel shall be the SNAME Technical & Research Bulletin 2-25 SHIP VIBRATION AND NOISE GUIDELINES (1980) as presented in Principles of Naval Architecture, Volume II, (Figure 35, page 306, 1988 Edition). The vertical vibration velocity and acceleration shall not exceed the maximums of Zone II. This criterion is the upper limit of vibration level that is noticeable but usually shall not adversely affect vessel personnel.

The Contractor shall measure these velocities in the manned spaces during the testing phase of this contract and provide a written report, per contract Clause E05. If the vibration limits are exceeded and it is found that the excess is due to poor workmanship or quality control, the shipyard shall correct whatever deficiencies that are identified by the excessive vibration.

D. NOISE & VIBRATION CONTROL - GENERAL

In addition to insulation requirements, generator and exhaust mounting details provided in this specification and shown on the contract drawings, the Contractor shall implement the following control measures to ensure the target criteria are satisfied:

• Effective noise barrier around high noise spaces to prevent noise transmission to adjacent spaces, and sound absorbing material around high noise spaces, to reduce contribution of reverberant noise within the space.

• Install vibration isolators for all diesel generators and rotating machinery such as pumps and fans in order to reduce noise and vibration transmission through the structure.

• Provide flexible mounting of ventilation and other service lines.

• Ensuring that all pipe and duct joints are tight and that all penetrations through spaces are sealed.

• All pipe connections to the engines and generators should be of the flexible type.

• Use of low noise components, e.g. tighter tolerances.

• Ensure the natural frequencies of the foundations of hard mounted equipment to be at least 30 percent greater than the disturbing frequencies of the equipment.

• Ensure that the local stiffness of the foundation supporting the resilient mounts to be at least 10 times the stiffness of the isolator it supports to result in adequate vibration isolation.

• Ensure that the natural frequencies of the resilient mount systems be sufficiently far from the disturbing frequencies (at least 30 percent of the nearest mode). If this condition cannot be satisfied, the vibrational force transmission to the foundation should be studied in greater detail and corrective measures taken to meet an acceptable isolation performance.

C185 TESTS & TRIALS

The barge and crane shall undergo testing and trials in accordance with Section E of the contract.
