STATEMENT OF WORK A.1 Introduction: The United States Department Of Commerce (USDOC)/National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)/Aircraft Operations Center (AOC) requires teardown, inspection, repair (as needed) and test cell run services for a Rolls-Royce T56-A-14 Engine Assembly, S/N 0TH5866. A.2 Background: The NOAA/AOC operates two (2) Lockheed WP-3D aircraft designated for atmospheric research. Each aircraft uses four (4) Rolls-Royce T56-A-14 engines. The engine in the #2 position (S/N 0TH5866) on aircraft N42RF was removed due to a recurring intermittent chips light. The chips light was illuminating 2 to 3 hours into the flight and remaining on for periods of 10 seconds to 5 hours intermittently. Subsequent inspection of the Reduction Gearbox and engine magnetic plugs revealed slivers and flaking on the Reduction Gearbox plug (all within maintenance instruction manual limits). Penalty runs were conducted after each of the four occurrences with negative results and the aircraft was returned to service each time. Illumination of the chips light occurred over a period of six (6) non-consecutive flights totaling approximately fifty-five (55) flight hours. The engine has a Time Since Repair (TSR) of 1781.4 hours and a Time Since New (TSN) of 19,063.4 hours. A.3 Scope: The Contractor shall provide all materials, equipment, special tools, services, certified factory trained personnel (labor), parts and facilities to perform the services/work identified herein. The inspection, teardown and repair work shall be in accordance with the manufacturer?s maintenance manual and applicable repair station procedures. Contractor shall accept the engine in the Quick Engine Change (QEC), mounted on an AOC owned engine stand. Upon receipt of the engine, the Contractor shall provide teardown and inspection services on the engine (S/N OTH5866) and prepare a ?worst case scenario? proposal to repair the engine. The proposal must include Reduction Gearbox (RGB), Compressor, and Turbine teardown and inspection items. Within ten (10) working days after receipt of the above engine, the Contractor will provide the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) with a teardown/inspection report identifying parts and labor, including costs to complete any outstanding Airworthiness Directives (AD) or Service Bulletins (SB), required to return the assembly to a serviceable, ready for installation condition. The report shall include a detailed tear down report, projected repair time and a cost estimate for the repair of each module. The Contractor shall make recommendations identifying the most cost effective and advantageous means to accomplish such work. The Contractor?s teardown and recommendations report will be reviewed by the Contracting Officer (CO) and the COR. Upon completion of the review, the CO shall provide written authorization to proceed with the accepted recommendations. If any additional repair items outside the normal repair criteria are discovered during performance of the work, the Contractor shall immediately stop work, if necessary, and notify the COR of the discrepancy(s). Such notification must include: ? Description of each discrepancy found ? Number of man-hours per discipline required to complete each discrepancy ? Hourly rate for personnel performing the work ? Parts costs (Show list price minus appropriate discount percentage) ? Total Dollar Amount for each discrepancy ? Total Dollar Amount for complete list of discrepancies The Contractor?s proposal for over and above discrepancies shall be based on the loaded hourly labor rate and discounted parts pricing agreed upon in the Contract. The COR will be responsible for reviewing the list of discrepancies and making a recommendation to either accept or decline the Contractor?s proposal. In the event additional work is recommended to the CO by the COR, a formal approval document will be prepared by the CO and presented to the Contractor. Therefore, no additional work shall be performed on the engine without prior approval from the CO. The Contractor shall comply with any outstanding service bulletins and airworthiness directives that must be complied with, and provide the AOC with any recommendations for maintenance that would prevent future failures if applicable. During reassembly of the modules into the QEC, the Contractor shall remove all of the RGB and engine mount assemblies and replace them with new or newly overhauled mount assemblies. The Contractor shall complete and record a post-maintenance test cell run. Test cell run results will be evaluated by the COR before acceptance of the engine for return to service. The engine shall have an efficiency of no less than 100% with all other parameters being within the manufacturer?s limits before returning the engine to service. The Contractor shall be responsible for all, FAA (i.e., FAA 8130 or equivalent and FAA 337, if required) and AOC required documentation to include, but not limited to, the approval for return to service. Upon return to service of the assembly, the contractor shall make the required entries into the engine log book provided with the engine. The engine shall be returned to the AOC on the same transportation stand provided at delivery.
