QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Q & A Section Q: Is the delivery date really 7/17/2017?

A: The delivery date has been changed with Amendment 0001. Delivery is now due on or before 7 weeks after date of contract (7 wks ADC).

Q: The drawings are labeled “1 of 3” and “2 of 3.” There is no third page.

A: Page 3 of the drawings contains specifications for another item (spud pins) being fabricated separately from this contract. It is not relevant to this solicitation.

Q: The Welding Notes section of the fabrication drawings indicate the welding is to be SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding – aka Stick welding), by specifying the electrode type to be used.

Is it permissible to use SAW (Submerged Arc Welding) and/or FCAW (Flux Core Arc Welding) instead?

A: The drawing did not require the use of SMAW welds. The weld electrodes as shown were provided for guidance for weld metal tensile strength requirements. Any welding process can be used as long as: (1) weld metal tensile strength agrees with electrode as defined on the contract drawings;(2) welding process does not compromise base metal strength.

Q: We will have prequalified ASME Sec IX weld procedures and welder qualifications. The drawing states AWS D1.1 code. I assume ASME would be more than sufficient.

A: Use of ASME Section IX for welder's qualifications and welding procedures is not acceptable since ASME does not address the structural materials, as used in this contract.

Q: The drawings show four different shell [spud body] sections, ranging from 10’ 3” to 12’ in length. Our normal suppliers are only able to furnish the plate in 8’ wide sheets at the thickness required. In addition, our standard shop equipment can handle plates up to 8’ wide. We’d like to build the shell in four sections, each 8’ or shorter in length. This would require additional weld seams. Is this acceptable?

A: Use of 8-foot wide section to construct spud body above tip assembly is not acceptable. The structural design includes transverse plates in way of the weld seams to provide adequate strength and assist with plate rolling/forming tolerances. If 8-foot wide plate sections are used, additional transverse plates would be required. The additional transverse plates will increase spud weight above current spud design weight, which is not acceptable as spud weight is limited by lifting capabilities of existing spud winch. ASTM A514 Gr. B plate widths up to 120 inches and plate lengths up to 480 inches, are available. Further, it should be noted that since the contract drawing permits only one longitudinal seam in the spud assembly, the required circumference of each rolled plate segment requires a minimum plate dimension of 113" prior to rolling, for each spud segment. Therefore, plate dimensions that are greater than 8'-0" are required for both plate width and length, for each spud rolled plate segment.

Q: Our shop only has the capability of rolling 10’ wide plates of the thickness required. May we deviate from the drawings?

A: No. See previous answer for an explanation.

Q: My shop regularly does hard surface welding for similar sized pieces. Would you like us to provide an estimate for that additional work?

A: No. As stated in the solicitation, Government labor will be used to complete the hard surface welding.

Q: Will there be NDT (non-destructive testing) required on the welds?

A: No testing is required.

Q: In the fabrication drawings, Section 11-E, can welds be made on the outside only?

A: Welding shall be completed on the inside as required.

Q: In detail drawing 14-C, they are asking to back the weld on the inside. This cannot be done with the baffles welded in the ends. How would they like this weld made?

A: The back welding would have to be completed prior to the baffle plates being installed.

Q: According to my plate rolling company [subcontractor], [to form the main spud tube] the plate would have to be rolled in two halves, as A514 will spring back; or the plate may be hot rolled. Would it be possible to roll in halves?

A: No. The additional seam could weaken the spud.

Q: In the Statement of Work, the solicitation states that “Unloading assistance will be provided by the Government.” However, on page 5, Item No. 0001, it states that “Contractor shall be responsible for unloading at destination.” Which is correct?

A: Government labor and equipment will be used to off-load the spuds when delivered.

Q: The fabrication drawings are calling for Item 9, two pieces of 4" pipe, each 14-3/4" long, welded at the center, and the weld splinted with an 8" piece of 5" pipe. It would make more sense to use a solid piece of 4" pipe, 29 1/2" long.

A: A solid piece of 4” pipe 29 ½” cannot be used. The two 14 ¾” lengths of pipe are not butt welded in the center, the 8” long 5” diameter pipe welded over the 4”pipe allows for slight flexing when lifting the spuds.

Q: In the fabrication drawings, Item 8 calls for 3" thick plate. As we were reading the drawings (Section A-A and Section C-C), the 3 inch plate is being welded with an inch sticking out beyond the OD of the pipe, then machined off. That seems like a lot of grinding without an obvious purpose. Could we use a thinner piece of plate, and have it recessed to the outside diameter of the main pipe?

A: The 3” thick plate is required. Refer to Detail 15-E on page two. The 3” plate can be machined prior to inserting in to Spud.

The following have been modified:

STATEMENT OF WORK

Statement of Work The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requires the manufacture and purchase of two (2) new Dredge spuds for the USACE Dredge Goetz. These spuds are used to anchor the Dredge Goetz in position while dredging.

The spuds shall be 35.75 +‐ 0.125” in diameter and 48’ in length with lifting eye located at the top of the spud. Spuds shall be delivered to the Government ready for installation with the exception of hard surface welding on the spud tips. Government labor will be utilized to complete the hard surface welding of the spud tips.

The spuds shall be built to the specifications in the attached engineered drawing, DWG#659‐E550‐01, using the welding procedures identified in the attached drawing. Prior to delivery, the spuds shall be sand blasted to remove all rust, mill scale, and welding slag. Then painted black in accordance with specifications identified in the engineered drawing 816‐B406‐01, MDC Floating Plant Paint Schedule, hull exterior below water line. The lower 4’6” shall not be painted because of the required hard surface welding.

The vendor is responsible for delivery FOB the address below. Please do not quote delivery separately.

Unloading assistance will be provided by the Government.

No changes to SOW specifications or contract terms shall be made without prior written approval of the contracting officer.

Delivery shall be no later than 7 weeks from Date of Contract (7 wks ADC).
