Statement of Work (SOW) / Performance Work Statement (PWS)

This document outlines the requirements for insurance, change request procedures, and the schedule of work for a contract, likely related to ship repair or modification.

• Required Insurance: Contractors must maintain specific insurance policies, including Ship Repairer's Liability ($500,000 per occurrence) and Comprehensive General Liability ($500,000 per occurrence), as well as coverage under the Longshoremen's and Harbor Worker's Act and State Workmen's Compensation Law. Insurance certificates must name the US Coast Guard vessel and contract number.

• Change Request (CR) Process: Contractors cannot perform work without Contracting Officer authorization. CRs are authorized by the Contracting Officer and performed at labor billing rates specified in the Schedule. A CR composite labor rate is defined, including direct production labor, indirect costs, and profit/fee. Direct production labor examples include abrasive cleaning, welding, machining, electrical work, and shipfitting. Indirect costs cover planning, supervision, and support functions. Direct consumables and expendables are also detailed. Pricing for direct materials, direct subcontracted services, and direct consumables/expendables must be itemized separately and not included in the CR composite labor rate. CRs do not cover replacement work under specific clauses. The Government may negotiate CRs, or procure services externally if a fair price cannot be agreed upon. CRs are transmitted via email and follow a specific process involving Condition Found Reports (CFR), Condition Report Replies (CRR), Change Requests (CR), Initial Government Estimates (IGE), Contractor Proposals, Negotiations, and finally, contract modifications. Contractors must submit labor hours, lists of materials/services/consumables with prices, and any proposed changes to the Schedule of Work for CR quotes. Payment for CR work is contingent upon a written contract modification.

• Schedule of Work: Within three working days of a vessel's arrival for dry-dock or at the arrival conference for dockside availabilities, the contractor must provide the Contracting Officer and COR with a Production Schedule, Work Package Network, Total Manpower Loading Curve, Trade Manning Curves, and a Subcontracting List. These documents should detail work items, milestones, critical paths, and manning requirements. Any deviations from the Production Schedule exceeding two working days must be immediately reported. Delays impacting the performance completion date may result in remedies for late performance.

• Not explicitly detailed beyond the requirement for timely submission of schedules and reporting of deviations.

• Performance occurs at the contractor's facility for dry-dock availabilities and dockside availabilities.

• Access to the Vessel: Authorized Government personnel, other contractors, and their subcontractors will be granted access to the vessel and contractor's facility on a noninterference basis. The contractor must provide reasonable arrangements for these personnel and ensure they comply with shipyard rules regarding safety and security.

• Temporary Services: Contractors may be required to provide temporary services such as water, electricity, and telephone. Equitable adjustments may be requested for providing these services if performance time is extended due to Government-caused delay.
