Material Delivery: NLT 15 May 2013 Ship to: Military Sealift Command Norfolk Building W143 Doorway 10 1968 Gilbert St, Norfolk Naval Station Norfolk, VA 23511 Mark for: USNS COMFORT 7.0 Statement of Work 7.1 Survey the following davits/cranes for the manufacturing of fall protection devices. This survey shall include but not be limited to taking measurements of the falls in the area of the releasing gear, determining where best to place markings ect.... a. Ten (10) life boats (Oldenberg Davits, Raymond releasing gear). b. Two (2) utility boat cranes (Allied System TB35-40) c. Two (2) rescue boat davits (Allied Systems DC8600 CTS) d. One (1) Palfinger articulating crane 7.2 Contact the port engineer (757-443-0875) for vessel availability. 7.3 Provide ALL labor and material to manufacture SOLAS approved FPDs for each boat IAW ref 2.5 and 2.6 using the information gathered during the survey. 7.4 Forward completed items to LP26 (address provided in para 6.0 above. 7.5 Procure "Remove Before Operation" flags similar to the ones found at: • http://www.aeroconsystems.com/misc/beforeflight.htm Quantity shall be 1.5 times the number of FPDs provided. 7.6 Contact the local ABS office and arrange for a surveyor to inspect the device during manufacturing and installation. 7.7 ABS shall issue the ship and the port engineer "a statement of fact" of SOLAS compliance. 7.8 Provide two hard copies and one electronic copy of the drawing of the device installed. 7.9 Provide manufacuter certification of tensile strength of material used. 8.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: None additional. 2 PURPOSE The purpose of this document is to establish policy and procedures for the proper use of Fall Preventer Devices (FPDs) during drills, testing, and maintenance of lifeboats. The position of the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) is that lifeboat release mechanisms are required to be protected against accidental or premature release. The USCG categorizes FPDs as maintenance items and has not issued any policy on their use. The IMO considers the use of FPDs as an interim risk mitigation measure to be used with existing on-load release hooks, at the discretion of the Master, and pending the implementation of improved hook designs and safety features. 3 APPLICABILITY: 3.1 Current release date: April 2012 3.2 Applies to all ships that have lifeboat Release and Retrieval Systems (RRS) that do not meet the new amendments to Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Regulation III/1.5, Chapter IV, Lifesaving Appliances Code, Sections 4.4.7.6.4 to 4.4.7.6.6. Vessels will replace existing RRS with improved hooks that meet SOLAS requirements during scheduled dry-dock periods. FPDs shall be used ONLY during drills, testing, inspection, and maintenance of lifeboats 3.3 Launching of Lifeboats without FPDs: FPDs shall not be left in place during normal operations or during actual abandon ship events (emergency operations). All FPDs shall be removed from lifeboats at the conclusion of the drill, test, inspection, or maintenance and stowed in a separate, controlled location. 3.4 Ordering: All FPDs shall be ordered by the class manager to ensure consistency by class. 4 PROCEDURE 4.1 Background: 4.1.1 A number or serious accidents have occurred with on-load lifeboat release systems during drills and servicing since becoming mandatory in 1986. 4.1.2 FPDs provide a secondary load path which prevents the lifeboat from falling during an accidental release of the on-load hook or the failure of the release mechanism. 4.1.3 The approved FPD for MSFSC is a strop or sling. This method was adopted since it is easily visible by inspection. A locking pin shall not be used since it can be easily Enclosure 2.2 4.1.4 overlooked. Existing on-load release hooks shall NOT be modified to provide a locking pin insertion point. 4.2 General Requirements for the Use of Strops/Slings: The following should be considered when using synthetic strops or slings as FPDs: • Strops/slings shall be permanently marked with their date of entry into service. Strops/slings shall also be numbered for easy accounting in the "# of total #" format. • An initial functional test of FPDs is required before their use. This test shall demonstrate that the strops/slings do not interfere in the operation of the lifeboat or launching equipment. The test shall consist of lowering the boat and retrieving. Launching the boat is not required. • Any unintentional, dynamic shock loading requires the strop/sling to be replaced and associated attachment points inspected. • Attachment points shall be clearly marked to prevent the strops/slings from being connected to the wrong part of the block or on-load release hook. • A warning sign shall be placed on the release handle and a "Remove Before Operation" flag shall be attached to the strop/sling, to ensure that strops/slings are removed prior to activating release mechanism. "Remove Before Operation" (RBF-8) flags may be purchased from http://www.aeroconsystems.com/misc/beforeflight.htm. WARNING: DO NOT ACTIVATE RELEASE MECHANISM WITH FALL PREVENTER DEVICES (FPDs) IN PLACE During drills and testing the FPDs shall be attached before commencement of lowering the lifeboat. When the lifeboat is approximately 1 meter above the water the davit operator will stop lowering the lifeboat to allow the FPDs to be removed. The davit operator will then resume lowering the lifeboat to allow for testing of the release hook mechanisms. • During drills and testing, once the on-load release hooks have been connected for lifeboat recovery, the FPDs (strops/slings) should be reattached before the boat is hoisted clear of the water. Enclosure 2.2 Strops/slings are CONTROLLED DEVICES and their use shall be monitored by the Chief Mate. Strops/slings shall be checked out at the beginning and turned into the Chief Mate before the end of the work day. 4.3 Inspections: Strops/slings shall be inspected before their initial use and at six month intervals. The inspection shall be logged and consist of the following: • Manufacturer certification documenting tensile strength providing a safety factor of at least six. • Permanently marked with date of entry into service and numbered. • Inspect the entire surface of webbing for damage. • Examine for frayed edges, broken fibers, paint, pulled stitches, cuts or chemical damage. Broken webbing strands generally appear as tufts on the webbing surface. • Inspect hardware for cracks or other defects. • Ensure load rating and safety factor match between strop and rigging gear. • 5 RECORDS: 5.1 Manufacturer certification of tensile strength. 5.2 Log inspection prior to first use and every six months. 5.3 SMS Checklist 7.21-001-01-ALL, Lifeboat Fall Preventer Device Checklist shall be filled out prior to each use. 6 DEFINITIONS 6.1 Strops/slings: weight handling material made out of synthetic fibers designed to absorb shock loads; a looped line used to hoist, lower, or carry. 6.2 Dynamic shock loading: a very large acceleration or deceleration of a static load (for example, a lifeboat falling because the hook slipped). 6.3 Functional test: measure the ability of the components of the system to function as designed (for example, can the strop take the load of a lifeboat without interfering with lifting and lowering capability). 7 REFERENCES 7.1 SOLAS Regulation III/1.5, Chapter IV, Lifesaving Appliances Code sections 4.4.7.6.4 to 4.4.7.6.6 Enclosure 2.2 7.2 IMO Guidelines for the fitting and use of Fall Preventer Devices (FPDs), MSC.1/Circ/1327 11 June 2009 7.3 8 REVISION HISTORY Original: 17 April 2012 The following FAR and DFAR provisions and clauses apply to this solicitation and are incorporated by reference: 52.211-6 Brand Name or Equal 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors-Commercial Items; 52.212-3 Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial Items (Offerors are advised to include a completed copy of this provision with their quote or a statement stating that it is available via the SAM website, https://www.acquisition.gov.) 52.212-3 ALT II Offeror Representations and Certifications -- Commercial Items. 52.212-4 Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items; 52.212-5 Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders - Commercial Items 52.204-10 Reporting Executive Compensation and First-Tier Subcontract Awards 52.209-6 Protecting the Government' Interest When Subcontracting with Contractors Debarred, Suspended, or Proposed for Debarment 52.219-28 Post-Award Small Business Program Representation. 52.222-3 Convict Labor, 52.222-19 Child Labor - Cooperation with Authorities and Remedies, 52.222-21 Prohibition of Segregated Facilities, 52.222-26 Equal Opportunity, 52.222-36 Affirmative Action for Workers with Disabilities 52.223-18 Contractor Policy to Ban Text Messaging While Driving 52.225-13 Restrictions on Certain Foreign Purchases, and 52.232-33 Payment by Electronic Funds Transfer --Central Contractor Registration 52.222-41 Service Contract Act 52.215-5 Facsimile Proposals: (757) 443-5982 52.222-50 Combating Trafficking in Persons 52.225-25 Prohibition on Contracting with Entities Engaging in Sanctioned Activities Relating to Iran-Representation and Certification 52.233-4 Applicable Law for Breach of Contract Claim.-sol and contracts 52.247-64 Preference for Privately Owned U.S.-Flag Commercial Vessels 52.252-1 Solicitation Provisions Incorporated by Reference 52.252-3 Alterations in Solicitation 252.203-7000 Requirements Relating to Compensation of Former DoD Officials 252.203-7002 Requirement to Inform Employees of Whistleblower Rights 252.203-7005 Representation Relating to Compensation of Former DoD Officials 252.204-7003 Control of Government Personnel Work Product 252.204-7008 Export-Controlled Items 252.209-7999 Representation by Corporations Regarding an Unpaid Delinquent Tax Liability or a Felony Conviction under any Federal Law 252.211-7003 Item Identification and Valuation; 252.212-7001 Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders Application to Defense Acquisition of Commercial Items 252.203-7000 Requirements Relating to Compensation of Former DoD Officials 252.225-7001 Buy American Act--Balance of Payments Program; 252.232-7003 Electronic Submission of Payment Requests; and 252.247-7023 Transportation of Supplies by Sea Alternate III. 252.225-7000 Buy American Act--Balance of Payments Program Certificate, 252.232-7003 Electronic Submission of Payment Requests and Receiving Reports 252.232-7010 Levies on Contract Payments 52.252-2 Clauses Incorporated by Reference This contract incorporates one or more clauses by reference with the same force and effect as if they were given in full text.

MSC SPECIFIC WIDE AREA WORKFLOW (WAWF) INSTRUCTIONS (AUG 2012) The information contained in this instruction is supplemental to DFARS 252.232-7006. The information contained in the table in DFARS 252.232-7006 is for WAWF purposes only. Information included in DFARS 252.232-7006 and this WAWF instruction apply only to WAWF Invoicing and WAWF Receiving Reports. Contradictory information elsewhere in this contract, e.g. Ship to DoDAAC, shall be followed per the terms and conditions of the contract. When entering the invoice into WAWF, the Contractor shall fill in the DoDAAC fields or DoDAAC extensions exactly as shown in the table in DFARS 252.232-7006. Fields that should not be filled in when entering the invoice into WAWF will be indicated with the direction, "Leave Blank." In some situations the WAWF system will pre-populate the "Pay DoDAAC," "Admin By DoDAAC" and "Issue By DoDAAC." The Contractor shall verify that those DoDAACs automatically entered by the WAWF system match the information in the table in DFARS 252.232-7006. If these DoDAACs do not match, then the Contractor shall correct the field(s). If Receiving Reports are required, ensure that the "Inspection" and "Acceptance" defaults of "destination" for both fields are not changed in the WAWF online interface. The CLINs on the WAWF invoice shall be entered exactly as set forth in the contract document including CLIN number (e.g. 0001), Quantity (may be adjusted for actual quantity or dollar value delivered and invoiced), and Unit Price (e.g. $1.00). The dollar amounts on each CLIN or SubCLIN on the WAWF invoice shall reflect final performance values, but in no instance can the dollar amount for each CLIN or SubCLIN exceed what is specified in the contract document. The Contractor shall bill to the lowest level, e.g., the SubCLIN level. The Quantity and Unit of Measure fields must be filled out exactly as indicated in the CLINs and SubCLINs to reduce the possibility of the invoice being delayed or rejected during processing. Before closing out of an invoice session in WAWF, but after submitting the document or documents, the Contractor will be given the option to send additional email notifications by clicking on the "Send More Email Notifications" link that appears on the page. The Contractor shall click on this link and add the Technical Point of Contact's (TPOC) or Contracting Officer's Representative's (COR) email address in the first email address block and add any other additional email addresses desired in the following blocks. This additional notification to the Government is important to ensure the acceptor/receiver is aware that the invoice documentshave been submitted into the WAWF system.
