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

This SOW details the requirements for cleaning and inspecting the chill water system, specifically focusing on nine (9) Fan Coil Units (FCUs) on the main deck and the associated main chill water pipes.

• Cleaning: The contractor must clean the main chill water pipes in the overhead of the main deck and the nine FCUs. This involves disconnecting and backflushing FCUs, and cleaning pipes at 25-foot intervals.

• Inspection: The contractor must inspect the piping interior using a borescope to verify removal of all visible solid deposits.

• System Drainage & Waste Disposal: All affected systems must be drained, and removed fluids disposed of according to regulations. Waste must not be drained into any space, bilge, or exterior location.

• Gasket Renewal: All removed valves and fittings must be reinstalled with new gasket material conforming to ASTM D1330.

• Piping Insulation Installation: New insulation materials must be installed over exposed pipe surfaces, conforming to ASTM F683 and NAVSEA Drawing 804-5959214. The newly installed insulation must be coated per SFLC Std Spec 6310.

• Cleaning is complete when all visible calcium carbonate deposits, solid deposits, and build-up are removed from pipe walls, and discharge water is free of all visible scale and deposits.

• Leak tests must be performed after component reinstallation, repeating until no leaks are detected.

Not explicitly stated, but work involves the main deck chill water system and FCUs.

• Government-Furnished Property: None.
• References: The work must adhere to various Coast Guard drawings, SFLC Standard Specifications (0000, 6310, 0740), and ASTM International standards (D1330, F683).
