1. Background. The contracted boat yard is responsible for providing safe working conditions for not only their own employees but also for government civilian/military personnel who perform work at the boat yard during the yard period. Therefore, the government requires the boat yard to employ safety Best Management Practices (BMP) complying with applicable Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) state and federal laws. Vessels are identical vessels. Each vessel is approximately 74' long, 16' wide and weighs approximately 100 tons.
2. Location. Contracted boat yard must be located within 2 hrs driving time via waterway and within 1 hr driving time via government vehicle to reduce excess travel time by government civilian/military personnel who will be required to perform various tasks during the yard period. Any excess travel via government vehicle reduces the amount of time available to complete tasking and thus increases the length of the yard period.

3. Scope of Work. The following is required during each yard period:

a) The government will make the vessel available to the contractor by way of water.

b) Contractor shall haul, block, farrow blast hull, & launch vessel.

c) Service vessel lay days, anticipated project duration of three weeks.

d) Contractor shall provide a Navy Gas Free Engineer (qualified to Naval Maritime Confined Space Program S6470-AA-SAF-010) to clear the confined spaces, if inspection results warrant a need.

e) Contractor shall provide personnel and materials to complete anti-freeze drainage/containment, removal, inspection, gasket replacement, re-installation, and replenishment of approx. 60 gal of new antifreeze on both the port and starboard keel coolers.

f) Propellers and Shafts

i. Contractor shall remove port and starboard propellers, have them re-conditioned to ISO 484 standards and provide balancing documentation.

ii. The government will inspect the shafts. If the shafts are determined not to be true, the contractor shall have them removed, straightened, provide documentation and have them reinstalled.

iii. Once the government has determined the shafts are straight (in existing condition or reconditioned), the contractor shall reinstall the propellers.

g) Contractor shall Farrow blast the entire hull to primer.

h) Upon additional request and negotiated price, the contractor shall apply bottom paint to the hull of the watercraft.

i) Government employees require access to the vessel with a vehicle/trailer in close proximity (25 ft) to conduct necessary repairs/work during the hours of 0730 to 1700 week days.

j) Contractor shall allow the government to remove/re-install: shafts, cutlass bearings, zincs, shaft logs, inspect hull, conduct preservation on or in main/well deck, apply bottom paint, and complete any necessary repairs while the vessel is blocked.

k) Upon additional request and negotiated price, the contractor shall remove the keel coolers, have the keel coolers pressure tested for leaks, and then reinstall the keel coolers with new gasket materials.

i. Should the keel coolers be found to be damaged, upon additional request and negotiated price, the contractor shall repair the keel coolers.
ii. Should the keel coolers be found to be damaged beyond repair, upon additional request and negotiated price, the contractor shall replace the keel coolers.

l) Government will inspect the vessel for final acceptance.
