Amendment 0002 is being issued to provide answers to questions received.

1. Can you provide all reference drawings called out in the specification? Reference Attachments 1 through 15

2. What bid item should the costs for 3.2, 3.4, and 3.5 be put on? Previous shipyard periods include costs for 3.2, 3.4, and 3.5 in item 4.1.

3. What is to be quoted for bid item 5? Pressure washing of the hull is called out in Item 4.1 and visual inspection of the hull is called out in Work Item 6.2. Bid item 5 may be removed as it is cover by 4.1 and 6.2 as noted.

Spec states that the antifouling shall be applied over the existing coating and that any areas of failed coating will need to be cleaned, primed, and top-coated.
