Compartments shall be tested separately from rakes. Testing shall be done after all work has been cleaned, all deteriorated plating and structural frames have been renewed, and all alterations have been completed. Testing shall be done before the exterior has been coated and after all alterations have been completed. All new seams shall be brushed with soap solution and proven tight in the presence of the Government Representative. In applying the air pressure, the contractor shall use a positive method of prohibiting any pressure in excess of two (2) PSIG. All soap solution that was applied to the hull exterior for testing shall be cleaned prior to painting. All cracks, defective welds or plate deterioration resulting in leaks shall be reported in writing to the Contracting Officer. No weld found to not be watertight shall be peened. All leaks shall require additional welding. Upon completion of repairs, each leaking compartment shall be retested in the presence of the Government Representative until proven watertight. Remove all blanks, blind flanges, or other test appurtenances upon completion and leave barge ready for service. If the affected space cannot be pressure tested the welded joints shall be tested with a water hose at a pressure not less than 50 psi, with a nozzle of not less than 1/2 inch in diameter and held not more than 5 feet from the joint being tested. Testing shall be done after all work has been cleaned, all plating and structurals renewed, and prior to painting.

1.9.3 After the vessel has been undocked, a thorough examination of the vessel will be conducted in the presence of the Government Representative. If leaks are discovered, the vessel shall be immediately dry-docked, repaired, and undocked without delay. If the leaks are found in new work, this shall be accomplished at no additional cost to the Government. Remove all water and debris from compartments, leaving them clean and dry.

1.9.4 For the purpose of evaluating bids, Contractor shall offer prices based on the following estimates as outlined in table, T-1.
