Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides responses to vendor questions regarding the solicitation for vessel maintenance and repair services.

• Sandblasting: Garnet is acceptable for sandblasting aluminum. Dock trials are necessary before sea trials.
• Pressure Washing: The maximum pressure for washing the hull is 2,500 PSI, due to the age of the aluminum hull. This supersedes previous specifications.
• Interior Interferences: There are no known interferences in the vessel's interior for the UT survey. Drawings of the vessel interior can be provided to the awardee.
• Epoxy Primer: The specification for Intersleek 700 tie coat and topcoat only is insufficient for corrosion protection. Intershield 300V epoxy & Interspeed 5640 black, then red, is recommended and would be acceptable. Propspeed application on the rudder is also acceptable.
• Valve Testing: The test for valves using city water pressure is acceptable, even if not exactly 50 PSI. The correct valve sizes are: main engine valves are 3” ball valves, and generator/air conditioner valves are 1" ball valves. This information is reflected in the revised PWS.
• Rudder Seals: The rudders have lip seals, not packing glands. These lip seals should be replaced in kind, as per the revised PWS.
• Davit Crane: The requirement is for a Davit Crane (not a Jib Crane), which must be folding and/or stowable, removable only for maintenance/replacement, and capable of handling up to 1000lb max. Electronic rotation is also required.
• Ballast Installation: Interferences must be removed in accordance with section 5.7.1.1 for ballast installation.
• Bilge Pumps: There are 5 bilge pumps. Float switches must be non-Rule-self-contained non-clogging/jamming type.
• Wiring: The scope includes washing wire runs (approx. 85 linear feet, 15" wide). Schematics can be obtained from USCG archives. For DC and AC panel replacement, any required rewiring will be addressed via change order and evaluated for fair and reasonable pricing.

Several sections of the PWS and specifications have been revised based on these answers, including pressure washing limits, coating systems, valve sizes, rudder seal replacement, and davit crane requirements. Bidders should refer to the revised PWS for updated details.
