SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

The following have been added by full text:

INSPECTION/ACCEPTANCE

INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE

E01 INSPECTION

The project will be managed by the Marine Design Center (MDC) of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and is subject to inspection by its appointed representatives to insure strict compliance with the terms of the Contract.

No Government Representative, except the Contracting Officer, is authorized to change any provision of the Contract, nor shall the presence or absence of an inspector relieve the Contractor from any requirements of the Contract.

When steel construction commences, the Contractor shall coordinate with ABS to ensure the frequency of onsite inspections are not less than once every two weeks.

The Contractor shall provide “Safe for Workers” labels, in accordance with the OSHA regulations stated in 29 CFR 1915.11-12, for all confined and enclosed spaces prior to permitting entrance for work or inspection. This procedure shall be reflected in the Contractor’s Safety Plan. See Section H.

Entry shall not be permitted to any confined or enclosed space that does not have a current “Safe for Workers” label.

E02 LAUNCHING

The Contractor shall be responsible for the successful launching operation of the vessel at the time selected and mutually agreed upon by the Contractor and the COR.

After agreement, the Contractor shall provide a written notice to the Contracting Officer 10 calendar days prior to the launching. The Contractor shall carry out the necessary calculations required for a safe launching of the vessel.

Prior to launching, all painting below the main deck (interior and exterior) must be completed. The hull interior and exterior surfaces shall be thoroughly inspected by an authorized Government representative to verify compliance with the requirements of the specification. The vessel shall not be launched until the hull painting has been approved by the COR. The Contractor shall schedule at least 3 days between hull inspection and launch to allow any new paint on the hull interior and exterior to cure properly.

The condition of the vessel shall be recorded at the time of launch. This shall include the levels of all tanks, draft and freeboard readings at the port and starboard forward, midship, and aft locations, a list of shipyard equipment on board, an estimate percent of the vessel complete, and the time and date of the launch.

After launching, all tanks and voids shall be inspected for damage and leaks, and their conditions shall be recorded.

E03 QUALITY CONTROL AND INSPECTION

GENERAL

After Notice To Proceed with Phase I “PLANNING, ENGINEERING, AND SCHEDULING” the Contractor shall develop a Contractor Quality Control (CQC) and Inspection Program for the work required in this Contract. This program shall contain two sub-programs which will provide for review and quality control of the “Engineering and Scheduling” submittals and regular inspection and testing of the construction work in progress and the preparation and maintenance of documentation and records.

The first sub-program, (CQC of the engineering phase), must be submitted within 14 calendar days after the Notice To Proceed with the Phase I “PLANNING, ENGINEERING, AND SCHEDULING” phase of the Contract.

The second sub-program, (CQC of the construction phase), must be submitted and accepted in the “PLANNING, ENGINEERING, AND SCHEDULING” phase of the Contract. The Notice To Proceed with Phase II “CONSTRUCT, TEST AND DELIVER”, will not be issued until this document is accepted.

The documentation and records of sub-program 1 shall:

Define the review and correction process for all “Engineering” phase submittals with particular attention given to the Final Design Drawings.

The documentation and records of sub-program 2 shall:

Define Contractor tests and inspections to be accomplished for each work item of the Contract. Such tests and inspections shall be keyed to the appropriate paragraph of each clause.

Be commensurate with the complexity of the work in the specification and adequate to assure the Contractor that the product or sub-product offered conforms to the requirements of the Contract.

Be available to the Government Representative at all times and contain recorded data of all Contractor conducted inspections and tests conducted to date. All Quality Control reports, including those of subcontractors and regulatory agencies will be maintained and included in the Test Report of Contract Clause E05.

List by name and title, the Contractor’s representatives who are authorized to witness or perform and sign for each test and inspection.

The following are the minimum requirements for data to be recorded:

o Type of inspection or test (e.g., visual, mechanical, liquid penetrant, radiographic), accept/reject criteria, and a statement as to whether the inspection was satisfactory or unsatisfactory.

o Number and type of deficiencies of material or workmanship found in the product or subproduct inspected and corrective action taken to correct the deficiencies and, for repetitive deficiencies, to preclude recurrence.

o Date and signature of the Authorized Contractor Representative who witnessed or performed the test or inspection.

o Responsible authorized personnel shall inspect the work in progress and all completed work, conduct necessary tests and record the data required. An Authorized Contractor Representative shall sign the records attesting to the validity of the information.

Contractor certified inspection is an integral part of all work, therefore the COR will consider the entire Contract incomplete if Contractor documentation and records signed by the Contractor’s Authorized Representative are not complete.

SUBCONTRACTORS

Work subcontracted and/or performed away from the shipyard is covered by this inspection system. The prime Contractor cannot delegate the authority to witness or perform, and sign for tests and inspections conducted away from the shipyard, without approval of the COR.

If the subcontractor has an established Quality Control program with designated organization and personnel, the prime Contractor may designate an appropriate individual in that organization as his authorized representative. Such designation shall clearly indicate that the individual is an employee of a subcontractor and his appointment shall be subject to the approval of the COR.

TESTING

When any workmanship, material, or apparatus fails to pass any test or inspection, it shall be fully retested only after all known faults have been eliminated. Where directed by the COR, such failed material or apparatus shall be completely removed from the work and renewed. Any defects in workmanship or material shall be remedied by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Government, except where work was performed on material furnished by the Government.

ABS ONSITE INSPECTION

When steel construction commences, the Contractor shall coordinate with ABS to ensure the frequency of onsite inspections are not less than once every two weeks. The Contractor shall provide a schedule for the ABS Onsite Inspections. The schedule shall include the scheduled inspection date(s), actual inspection date(s), and signature blocks for the ABS Inspector and Contractor, and notes for what inspection(s) were conducted. This report shall be kept current and upon request be made available to the COR.

E04 FACILITIES FOR PERSONNEL

The Contractor shall provide office space at the construction site for use by a Marine Design Center staff of four (4) people. The Barge Contractor shall avail this space and all privileges contained in this section to the Seatrax Technical Representative as well.

The space shall be convenient to the work site and consist of a desk, chairs, two lockers, one commercial telephone, and access to the Contractor’s telephone system. The commercial telephone shall have speakerphone capability. The Contractor shall provide access to high speed internet for up to four (4) laptops.

The space shall be air conditioned, heated, ventilated, well maintained and well secured, and be convenient to toilet facilities. The space and facilities shall be suitable for both male and female staff.

Government Representatives attending the construction may bring with them communication equipment, cameras, and various items of test equipment. The Contractor shall permit unencumbered ingress and egress to and from the shipyard and each vessel with such equipment.

Upon request, the Government representative shall have the unrestricted use of a facsimile machine, photocopier, word-processing equipment, paper, supplies, etc.

The Contractor shall furnish an up-to-date set of drawings for exclusive use of USACE personnel while in the shipyard.

In addition, the Contractor shall furnish three parking spaces within the shipyard, in safe locations and accessible to the assigned offices.
