SPECIAL CONDITIONS

SC-1 Pre-Award Survey, Delivery, Commencement, Completion of Work and Return of

Plant

a. A Pre-Award Survey may be requested prior to award in accordance with FAR 9.106 to verify that the Contractor is able to comply with the required performance schedule, taking into consideration all existing commercial and government business commitments and has the necessary production, construction, and technical equipment and facilities, or the ability to obtain them.

b. To minimize the vessel’s time out of service and to allow for flexibility in scheduling, the Government will deliver the plant to the nearest slip at the Contractor's facility on a date mutually agreed on by the Government and Contractor.

c. The Government will accept return of the plant in open water, clear of the Contractor's yard or any other berthing facility used in connection with Contract work upon completion of the Contract.

d. The Contractor shall commence the work under the Contract immediately after delivery of the vessel to the Contractor’s facility and shall execute the work within the time stated in the Contract. The Contract duration shall be computed from and including the first calendar day after delivery of the vessel to the Contractor.

e. The time for completion shall be computed to the hour at which the plant is accepted by the

COR in open water clear of the Contractor's yard. The date of completion shall be considered as half a day if the plant is accepted by the COR before 12:00 o'clock Noon and as a whole if accepted after 12:00 o'clock Noon. The work cannot be considered complete until the COR has agreed all activated and contracted work is satisfactory.

SC-2 Berthing, Drydocking and Services

The Government will deliver the vessel to the Contractor at the agreed upon date. Upon receipt of the vessel, the Contractor shall drydock the vessel within five (5) calendar days and for such time that will be necessary to complete all underwater work included in these specifications.

Following completion of underwater work, the Contractor shall be prepared to drydock the vessel in case of unforeseen circumstances. Contract delays resulting from unavailability of a dry dock shall be the Contractors responsibility.

The drydock that the Contractor plans to use shall be certified for docking the vessel, based on the dimensions and weight identified in paragraph SW-1, by one of the following:

(a) US Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command

(b) American Bureau of Shipping (ABS)

(c) An independent registered Professional Engineer specialized in drydocks, who shall cover the inspection requirements of item (a) or (b) above.

A copy of the drydock certification shall be submitted with the Offeror’s bid.

The Inspection Certificate shall be within three (3) years if the age of the dock is less than ten

(10) years old and within two (2) years if the age of the dock is over ten (10) years old.

Floating drydocks shall be one integral unit. The Government will allow the coupling of two rated docks to meet the load requirements of the vessel, provided that the lifting plan used shall include provisions for ensuring integrity of the coupling in the event of foul weather. Linked drydocks shall be certified as an entity.

SC-3 Liquidated Damages

a. In the case of failure on the part of the Contractor to complete the work within the time frame in the Contract or any extensions thereof, the Contractor shall pay the Government as liquidated damages, the sum of $3,050 for each calendar day of delay until the work is completed or accepted.

b. The Contractor shall not be charged with liquidated damages when the delay in delivery or performance arises out of causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor as defined in the Default Clause of the Mastership Agreement for Repairs and Alterations of Vessels (DFARS Clause 252.217-7009 - Default).

SC-4 Contractor's Custody of Plant

a. On entering and leaving dry dock, or marine railway, the Contractor shall have charge of, and be responsible for a vessel not operating under its own power. If tug or pilot service is required during delivery or return of the plant or at any time during Contractor's custody for maneuvering the plant between open water and dry dock, slip or berth at the Contractor's yard or other facility, or for moving the plant for any reason during the course of Contract work, such service shall be promptly furnished by the Contractor at his/her expense. This shall not exclude the right of the Government to move its plant around the Contractor's premises using the Government's personnel and facilities if the Government representative considers such movement of the plant to be in the interests of safety of the plant, or otherwise in the Government's interests.

b. The Government shall have the right to access the vessel while in the Contractor's custody with Government owned or hired floating plant or personnel for the purpose of delivering equipment, materials, or personnel to the plant in the Contractor's custody.

c. The Contractor shall not permit the plant to go aground or bear upon the bottom of any waterway or any submerged object while in his/her possession. The Contractor shall not perform any Contract work on the plant if it should accidentally go aground or bear upon any submerged object but shall notify the Government representative and immediately take the necessary steps to refloat the plant. The sole exception to this shall be that the plant shall be allowed to rest or bear upon a drydock which is properly prepared, in accordance with the plant's drydocking plan.

d. If the Contractor anchors the plant offshore for the purpose of performing Contract work on the plant, the Contractor shall convey Government inspectors, crew and hired personnel to and from the plant at the convenience of the Government at the Contractor's expense. While at such anchorage, the plant shall be considered in the custody of the Contractor and subject to any pertaining provision of these conditions.

SC-5 Accident Prevention

The Contractor shall provide a fire protection plan, flood prevention plan, and safety plan to the COR. All plans shall be in compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations as well as USCG, ABS, and USACE regulations. This information shall be submitted no later than seven

(7) days after the Contract award date and shall be a prerequisite to the start of any work on the vessel.

The bulleted items listed below refer to specific areas of accident prevention, however this in no way limits the Contractor’s responsibility to perform all work under this Contract in strict accordance with their fire protection, flood prevention, and safety plans as well as all federal (ex.

29 CFR), state, local, USCG, ABS, and USACE regulations (EM 385-1-1).

a. The Contractor shall take all necessary precautions for the protection of the life and health of employees and other persons; for prevention of damage to property, materials, supplies, and equipment; and for avoidance of work interruptions in the performance of this Contract. The Contractor shall comply with all pertinent provisions of the Mastership Agreement for Repair and Alteration of Vessels and the Corps of Engineers Safety Manual EM 385-1-1, dated 30 November 2014 entitled "Safety and Health Requirements Manual" as amended and shall also take or cause to be taken such additional measures as the COR may determine to be reasonably necessary for the purpose. The Contractor shall also comply with OSHA Safety and Health Standards 29 CFR. The Contractor shall designate the entire area of work as a hardhat area.

b. A qualified employee shall be designated by the Contractor to be directly responsible for full and immediate compliance with all applicable safety and fire protection requirements. The COR will make a safety inspection of shipyard facilities within 48 hours of the vessel's arrival at the Contractor's yard. At such time the Contractor's safety program will be reviewed with the Contractor's safety representative.

c. When the specifications require work in areas fitted with the fixed CO2 systems (i.e.

machinery spaces), the COR shall be notified prior to commencing work. All work in these areas shall be in strict accordance with 29 CFR 1915.506 and substitute fire protection equipment shall be furnished by the Contractor during the test or repair period.

d. Fire watches shall be posted wherever hot work is performed. Fire watches shall also be posted on the opposite side of all adjacent bulkheads, decks, and overheads where the hot work is performed. All fire watches shall remain on site until 30 minutes after the hot work is completed. For additional requirements, see 29 CFR 1915. It should be noted that 29 CFR

1915.52 (b)(3) only requires additional fire watches for specific conditions, however the Contractor shall provide fire watches for all hot work as mentioned above.

e. The Contractor is responsible for compliance with USCG regulations for handling of inflammable and combustible liquids. Whenever hot work is to be performed, a certified marine chemist's gas-free certificate shall be furnished to the Government representative at the Contractor's expense prior to commencing work. Additionally, a copy of the most recent gas-free certificate shall be posted near the vicinity of the work and at each gangway for the vessel. The Contractor shall have the marine chemist recertify the vessel for all ongoing hot work permits in the event of any vessel movement or change in ballasted condition or in the case of any combustible liquid spillage. Following any of these events, inspection for recertification by a Competent Person is unacceptable. NOTE – See TP 1.21 for additional details and requirements.

f. All work in confined areas or enclosed spaces shall be performed in accordance with

Sections 06.I and 19.A.08 of EM 385-1-1, "Safety and Health Requirements Manual", dated 30 November 2014 as amended. In such areas or spaces the Contractor shall test for the concentration of oxygen and have immediately available a sufficient number of respirators for everyone working in such areas or spaces. An attendant shall be stationed outside every confined space while work is being performed therein and a rescuer equipped with respirators and retrieval lines shall be immediately available in case of an emergency.

g. The Contractor shall furnish a gangway, conforming to EM 385-1-1, most recent revision, of suitable strength and construction for safe and convenient boarding of the vessel at all times.

The gangway shall be installed at an angle of less than 40 degrees and shall have 39-inch high guardrails at both sides. Hatches and openings that present a falling hazard shall be provided with suitable and substantial guards.

h. All exits and passageways shall be kept free of obstructions and shall be kept well lighted at all times.

i. The Contractor shall maintain an accurate record of, and shall report to the COR, in the manner and on the forms prescribed by the COR, exposure data and all accidents, resulting in death, traumatic injury, occupational disease, and/or damage to property, materials, supplies and equipment incident to work performed under this Contract.

j. The COR will notify the Contractor of any non-compliance with the foregoing provisions and the action to be taken. The Contractor shall, after receipt of such notice, immediately correct the conditions. Such notice, when delivered to the Contractor or his/her representative at the site of the work, shall be deemed sufficient for the purpose. If the Contractor fails or refuses to comply promptly, the KO may issue an order stopping all or part of the work until satisfactory corrective action has been taken. No part of the time lost due to any such stop order shall be made the subject of a claim for extension of time or for excess costs or damages by the Contractor.

k. Compliance with the requirements of this provision (SC-5) by any subcontractors shall be the responsibility of the Contractor.

SC-6 Performance of Work by the Government

The Government reserves the right to quarter and subsist the crew on the vessel and to perform certain work while the plant is in the Contractor’s possession. Government personnel, as well as any other Government Contractors, materials, equipment, and tools, shall be permitted to access the vessel while in the Contractor’s possession.

SC-7 Labor Reports

The Contractor shall keep and maintain complete payroll records for the duration of time covering the work under this Contract for a period of three (3) years from the end of such periods, and such records shall be made available for Government inspection upon request.

SC-8 Workmanship
