C040 SCOPE OF WORK

A. CONTRACT INTENT

These specifications, in conjunction with the Contract Drawings listed in Contract Section J01 “Contract & Reference Drawings”, contain the requirements for the modification of the Dredge HURLEY, and describe the essential features, functions, and arrangements of the design.

These specifications and Contract Drawings form a “Contract Design” for the subject vessel. The design package provides the Contractor with enough information to bid on the solicitation, and develop a final design for vessel modification, and minimize uncertainly and risk.

The Contract Design package also includes ABS review and approval of drawings as described in Clause C004.A.

B. CONTRACT PHASES

After the Contract is awarded, the services to be provided by the Contractor shall be structured and managed by the Marine Design Center, in the two phases as follows:

Phase I ...................................................... Shipyard Preparation Phase II ............... Repower Execution, Installation, and Testing

During all phases of this Contract, the Contractor is authorized to use the services of Subcontractors performing under their direction and supervision. However, the Contractor shall assume the full responsibility for the Subcontractors’ work.

1. Phase 1 Shipyard Preparation

During Phase I of the Contract, the Contractor shall conduct a ship check, develop a Detailed Design for the diesel generator set replacements and auxiliary systems modifications, order long lead equipment and materials, conduct production engineering, prepare to receive and store GFE, and prepare to receive and drydock the vessel for the execution of the repower work.

The Detailed Design shall be based on this specification and the Contract Drawings listed in Contract Section J01 “Contract & Reference Drawings”.

The Contractor shall perform a ship check during phase I for the purpose of gathering information from the vessel and its crew necessary to aid in the development of the Detailed Design. See Contract Section C043 for details of the ship check.

2. Phase 2 Repower Execution, Installation, and Testing

During Phase II of the Contract, the Contractor shall modify the vessel, prepare "As-Built" drawings of the affected areas of the vessel, and test the vessel.

Please refer to Contract Section H03 “Contract Submittals” of this Contract for an outline of the deliverables required in each phase of the Contract.

C. DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

These specifications and Contract Drawings form a “Contract Design” for the vessel modification. All Contract Drawings enclosed herein detailing the arrangements, structure, outfitting, mechanical and electrical systems of the vessel have been submitted to ABS for review.

The arrangements, structural modifications, mechanical systems modifications, and electrical systems modifications have been engineered to a contract level design that meets the performance and operational requirements of the U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers.

This package has been engineered to the degree shown based on commercially available equipment.

The level of development is intended to limit the Contractor’s uncertainty and risk. This package is not a detailed design and is not intended to be substituted as detailed design drawings and documents.

D. CONTRACTOR’S RESPONSIBILITY

The Contractor shall be required to complete a detailed design as described herein to satisfy the requirements of this Contract.

Should the Contractor find any issues with the engineering and design of the vessel modification as it relates to this solicitation and Contract Drawing package, the Contractor shall bring it to the attention of the COR for resolution. If necessary, an appropriate contract modification will be developed to address the issue.

The Contractor shall be required to perform engineering and design such as development of secondary structure and foundations, piping and cable routings, miscellaneous details, complete materials lists, purchase specifications, shop drawings, construction details, “As-Built” drawings, and other engineering and technical development necessary to support their administration, operation, and production practices.

The Contractor assumes complete responsibility for modifying the vessel to meet the intent and requirements of this Contract. Should the Contractor determine at any time that they are unable to fulfill those design responsibilities, they shall notify the COR immediately of the problem experienced and their proposed manner of correction.

The Contractor’s price shall include all costs associated with the complete design and the cost to provide a fully functional integrated product in accordance with the Contract Design, including its plans, specifications, and drawings.

E. DRAWINGS

Contract Drawings are provided with the specifications for bid purposes as well as to develop the detailed design. All features of the Contract Drawings must be complied with. The Contract Drawings have been designed in accordance with ABS Rules as per Contract Clause C004 and the performance specification of this solicitation. These drawings have previously been submitted to ABS for review. Where necessary, the Government has made revisions to the Contract Drawings in response to ABS technical comments. The drawing revisions provided in this package are either the revisions submitted to and reviewed by ABS, or they have been revised in response to a technical comment.

The Reference Drawings that are part of this solicitation are provided to the Contractor for correlative information only. The Contractor shall not build from any Reference Drawing. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to use this written specification, the Contract Drawings, and measurements from the vessel to properly develop the detailed drawings and modify the vessel. The Government assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of the reference drawings, and all work shall be measured or templated from the ship by the Contractor.

2. Drawings Required

Contract Section J, Clause J01, Contract & Reference Drawings, provides a complete list of Contract Drawings and Reference Drawings.

Contract Section H, Clause H21, Engineering and Drawings, contains a list with the minimum drawings required to be finalized and/or developed during the Phase I of the Contract in order to complete the final design. The requirements for developing the final design drawings are also delineated in Clause H21 with any specific requirements for structural, mechanical, or electrical changes defined in their relevant Contract Clauses.

For clarification purposes, the list in Contract Clause H20 details the drawings by action groups. The action groups distinguish between separate categories based upon the engineering requirements to be completed by the Contractor.

The following is a description/definition of these categories:

• Drawings To Be Finalized: As part of the scope of work for this effort, the Contractor shall be required to finalize a certain number of Contract Drawings to achieve a Final Design as defined above. These drawings have been included as Contract Drawings. The scope and extent of the necessary finalization has been explained in detail in each WBS section.

• Drawings To Be Developed: The Contractor shall also be required to develop a certain number of drawings to achieve a Final Design to conform to the requirements of this solicitation. These drawings have been identified on the drawing index but do not currently exist. These drawings shall be submitted to the Government for review and approval.

• “As-Built” Drawings: The Contractor shall be required to provide updated “As-Built” drawings of the affected areas of the vessel. The requirements for the “As-Built” drawings are defined in Contract Clause H21.

F. DEVIATIONS FROM THE CONTRACT DESIGN

Should the Contractor desire to deviate from the Contract Design, they shall submit their request in writing to the COR. The proposed deviation shall keep the intent of the general description of work as described in Contract Clause C001.A and the rest of these specifications.

Each proposed deviation request shall be accompanied with a detailed analysis and comparison of the equipment, material, or arrangement specified, and the equipment, material, or arrangement proposed, including features, dimensions, performance characteristics, benefit to the Government, and compelling reason why the deviation should be made. The request shall include at a minimum:
