MARKET SURVEY - SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS: Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division is looking for companies to perform drydocking, hull cleaning and painting and propulsion system repairs on the US Navy Research Vessel Acoustic Explorer (AX). The AX is an offshore utility vessel refitted for oceanographic research and Navy testing. It is Navy owned and contractor operated. The vessel is not classed or US Coast Guard regulated. The AX is all welded steel construction. Main propulsion is provided by two GM/Detroit Diesel 16-V-92N air starting, internally fresh water cooled, dry stack exhaust diesel engines. Propellers are inward turning, four-blade Aqualoy 62? diameter by 60? pitch. Vessel dimensions: Length 130?, beam 30?, draft 10?. The vessel is berthed at the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center in San Diego, CA. Vessel can be made available for viewing on 11 July 2006. Contact Scott Granzow at scott.granzow@navy.mil to schedule inspection and arrange facility access. The vessel last underwent major overhaul in drydock in 2003. The required services being sought are drydocking of the vessel, hull cleaning from keel to upper rub rail by sandblasting and repainted in accordance with manufacturer?s paint specification to be provided. Keel coolers are to be cleaned and chemically flushed. Some interior cleaning and painting are also detailed in the work specification. Mechanical repairs to be accomplished during the drydocking include machining and installation of replacement main propulsion shafts including realignment. Paint, shaft stock, and cutlass bearings are to be provided by the government. Locations to perform the work in southern California are preferred due to proximity to the vessel?s operating area. The vessel is available for drydocking in the following timeframes (in order of preference) 11-30 September 2006 and 04-23 December 2006. Responses to this market survey are due on or before 30 JUNE 2006, and must include a projected place of performance, description of the company?s drydock and shipyard capabilities, drydock availability and related past experience in similar work.
