About this file
This document is an "Approval in Principle" review letter from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) regarding a cathodic protection design for a steel barge. The review was conducted at the request of The Shearer Group, Inc. to establish compliance with the applicable ABS Rules for Building and Classing Steel Barges 2022. The review is limited to the structural attachment and alignment of steel support for anodes. ABS notes that final approval will require verification against the Rules, Regulations and Standards applicable at the time the construction contract is signed or the keel is laid. ABS would be prepared to class the final design once the relevant design drawings, calculations and documents are submitted for review upon completion of detailed engineering, and after ABS surveyors have attended the fabrication survey during construction and installation.
The related federal contract opportunity is for the procurement of three (3) welded steel barges to support the civil works maintenance and repair mission of the Detroit District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The solicitation is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) with a bid guarantee, payment, and performance bonding requirement. Delivery and final acceptance will be at the U.S. Army Engineer Detroit District locations in Sault Sainte Marie, MI and Duluth, MN. Contractors are required to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to award.
