SUMMARY OF CHANGES

(End of Summary of Changes)

The following items are applicable to this modification:

AMENDMENT 0003

The above numbered solicitation for the Dredge Wheeler Dry Dock, Berthing and Repair is hereby amended (0003) as follows:

- Adds Clarification verbiage for “Launch Vessel” work under LW-1.11, "PORT &

STARBOARD STRUT BEARINGS AND PROPELLERS REPLACEMENT":

2nd paragraph: first (1st) sentence should read "The Contractor shall disconnect the port and starboard couplings and measure the alignment between the engines and shafts at the couplings prior to dry-docking." Right now the spec only says "couplings".

3rd paragraph: first (1st) sentence should read "After removal of the port and starboard strut bearings, the Contractor shall check the alignment of the strut barrels, stern tubes, and engines with music wire after hull and bulkhead plating renewal (if any), structural framing renewal (if any), and main engine installation is complete." Right now the spec only says "...

port and strut bearings...”

- Adds: Technical Information titled: (ALFA LAVAL) Plate Heat Exchanger AX30-HBM downloadable via FBO labeled attachment.

- Adds: Clarification Drawings: #11-12-04 for the new foundation called out for in item #MA-1 downloadable via FBO labeled attachment..

- Adds batch #2 replies to questions submitted by 2p.m. local time (CST), 18 September 2015 as established deadline for all questions.

- Adds reply to question submitted regarding government vessel security requirements for accessing and working on the Dredge Wheeler during the dry dock and repair period.

Question: While reviewing the latest amendment to the Dredge Wheeler solicitation, we see a new requirement, starting on page 5, for MVN Security -- Background Checks for Building and Non-Building Access. (1) Will shipyard personnel, including our subcontractors, now be required to have background checks to board or work on the vessel?

Does the Corp consider the vessel a building? (2) A facility? (3) We are trying to fully understand the impacts of this newly added requirement; perhaps some background on why this requirement was added would be useful.

Reply:

1. All employees must have a current local background check to do work on the Dredge Wheeler if they do not possess a Federal TWIC Card. If they possess a TWIC, they have already been vetted at meet the background check requirements.

W912P8-15-B-0046

2. The vessel is considered a facility.

3. Why: This new requirement is to comply with the new Presidential Directive for Installation/facility access and the vetting of contractors prior to entering an instillation/facility.

- Adds: CAUTION TO BIDDERS: In delivery of hand-carried bids, bidders are cautioned to allow sufficient time for delays which may be encountered as a result of frequent trains which are subject to block all access roads to place of bid opening for various lengths of time. Such delays DO NOT permit acceptance or consideration of late bids.

- Adds Bid Bond Form (SF24-98)
