- Description
- 1. Background. There are four T-AOE 6 Class Fast Combat Support Ships built for the U.S. Navy by National Steel and Shipbuilding Corporation and put into service between 1994 and 1998. The four ships are the SUPPLY (6), RAINIER (7), ARCTIC (8) and the BRIDGE (10). These ships are powered by four General Electric (GE) LM 2500 gas turbines rated at 26,250 HP each. Each pair of engines drives a twin input, double reduction, locked train type main reduction gear (MRG) that drives a fixed pitch propeller at a maximum of 140 RPM. Each MRG has two Franco Tosi reversible hydraulic converter couplings (RCC) that are used for low speed maneuvering and reversing the propeller shaft, in a maneuvering mode. Synchro-Self Shifting (SSS) clutches are engaged to transfer to a direct drive mode, which provides higher efficiency and allows full power operation. The primary mission of the T-AOE 6 Class is to conduct underway replenishment (UNREP). The ship is specifically designed for receiving fuel, ammunition, provisions, and stores at sea from shuttle ships and redistributing these items to the Carrier Battle Group ships using both ship-to-ship connected replenishment (CONREP), and vertical replenishment (VERTREP) using embarked helicopters. Military Sealift Command (MSC) plans to replace the Machinery Control System (MCS) in all four T-AOE 6 Class ships during major shipyard availabilities scheduled for FY 2011 through 2015. MSC expects to separately award a contract for supply of the replacement Machinery Control Sytem hardware and related installation efforts. This contract will cover specialized engineering services to assist MSC’s project design team. The work will start with source selection support on the MCS replacement specification, and if all options are exercised, may extend through the design, production, installation, commissioning and initial period back in service of all four T-AOE’s after they receive the new MCS. Typical work under this contract could include development of design requirements, review of design products from the MCS supplier, testing and installation oversight, and involvement in optimization and problem resolution after the new MCS’ are put into service. This contract is follow on tasking for the development of the technical specification for the T-AOE 6 MCS. The support provided by the contractor has been vital to the success of the project to date and is needed for the remaining phases of this work to ensure the system is integrated with the ship properly. 2. Scope of Work. The Contractor shall provide the personnel with extensive specific experience of the T-AOE Class technical requirements in the new Machinery Control System Replacement Solicitation. 2.1. The Contractor shall arrange a kick off meeting within five (5) business days after award. The Contractor shall contact the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and arrange an agreeable time to discuss the requirements and details of the Contract. The Contractor shall create a set of minutes, signed by COR and the Contractor, stating all agreements and understandings discussed during this meeting. The meeting minutes shall be provided to the COR no later than five (5) business days after completion of the kickoff meeting. 2.2. The Contractor shall act as a technical advisor for the Government during the source selection process for the MCS Project Contract. The Contractor, using the knowledge of the existing ships systems, shall advise the Government in technical matters and recommend responses to questions that may arise during the procurement process. 2.3. The Contractor shall perform detailed technical evaluation of required design products submitted by the replacement system Contractor. The technical evaluation review shall include (but not be limited to) a review of the following: 2.3.1. Design proposals 2.3.2. Project plan and timeline 2.3.3. Drawings including Design, Installation, Layout, and Interfaces 2.3.4. Technical Manuals 2.3.5. Engineering Analysis 2.3.6. List of Materials, Manufacturers, and Equipment Specifications 2.3.7. Factory Acceptance Test Plans 2.3.8. Commissioning and integration plan 2.3.9. Shipyard work package 2.4. The Contractor shall provide the following services: 2.4.1. Attend and participate in evaluation during acceptance tests and trials. 2.4.2. Attend and participate in design-review meetings. [A total of five (5) design-review meetings are scheduled at this time (subject to change).] 2.4.3. Provide technical oversight and feedback to MSC during installation of the MCS in the shipyard. The Contractor shall be in the shipyard during critical periods of the first MCS ship installation to ensure the proper shipboard integration. 2.5. The Contractor shall identify additional upgrade requirements that support the MCS replacement but do not fall under the scope of the MCS Project Contract. The Contractor shall: 2.5.1. Identify necessary upgrades through review of the MSC Performance Specification, American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Automated Control System Certified for Unattended Engine Room (ACCU) requirements, and interviews with the Government MCS Project Team Members. 2.5.2. Write Statements of Work and Work Items using MSC-standard formats (samples to be provided upon request) to perform additional upgrades and industrial support for MCS controls replacement. The Statements of Work and Work Items shall be written with sufficient detail to accomplish work in a US shipyard. 2.5.3. Provide Cost Estimates for performing additional upgrades. 2.5.4. Provide recommendations on accomplishing and/or including additional system upgrade changes on future MCS Project packages. 2.6. The contractor shall manage the programmatic submittals that are required under the MCS Project Contract. 2.6.1. Contractor shall track required due dates and log all submittals, government responses, and CDRL requirements. 2.6.2. Contractor shall be responsible to coordinate any required responses. 2.6.3. Log all issues in an issue data base and assign record numbers to each issue. 2.6.4. Any meeting attended by a contractor shall be followed up with a complete set of meeting minutes. 2.6.5.
