- *********************************************** AMENDMENT 0003 - Questions and Answers CLIN 16 BLAST AND PAINT 3-174-1 & 2 BALLAST TANKS CLIN 17 BLAST AND PAINT 3-188-0 QUESTION: For items 16 & 17 are there any drawings for these tanks available? ANSWER: CHIEF ENGINEER BILL DAVIDSON As stated at shipcheck, there are no tank drawings, but there are ships hull unit drawings. We may have some of these drawing electronically, else the expectation was to manage at the shipcheck or prior to sailing check the drawings out for copy. I can search for these drawings, but not before next week after which time the ship will have sailed. Ship sailed 5-13-13 for cruise COMMENT BY COR JIM SUNDFORS: Only one (1) contractor (VIGOR) attended the ship check meeting and elected NOT to inspect tanks. As we stated in the meeting and later in the amendment, we could supply the capacity in Gallons and Tons of the tanks, but we do not have tank details to show specific dimensions. CLIN 7 UNDERWATER HULL PREPARATION AND COATING QUESTION: Item 7 Underwater hull preparation, coating, and inspection, paragraph 5.17.1. For the UWILD bolt ring fastener replacement are the sea chests included, or is it just the few overboards listed on the UWILD drawings? ANSWER: CHIEF ENGINEER BILL DAVIDSON May 9, 2013 Email Sea Chest suctions are included. Note that bolt rings are only on penetrations above a certain size. SPECIFICATIONS ARRIVAL DRAFT QUESTION: The specifications state that the expected arrival drafts will be 25 09. Can any fluids be removed to lighten the vessel up for dry-docking? Can the ship be de-ballasted so that a 20foot draft be achieved? ANSWER: By Chief Mate Dan Lintz The TSGBs Minimum Operating Draft is 25 06. A 20 draft cannot be achieved. QUESTION: Is this the minimum operating draft for at sea? Once you are on the blocks, but not out of the water can you dump any remaining salt water ballast in order to achieve a lighter draft. ANSWER: By Chief Mate Dan Lintz Yes, this is at sea minimum operating draft, but once in dry dock we will be able to discharge ballast off the ship. I have 10 Fresh Water Double Bottoms I could pump off and any Salt Water Ballast (if any) can be pumped off. COMMENT BY COR SUNDFORS: If yard requires a specific draft less than 25 06, it will be their responsibility to off load and store and/or dispose of the ballast fresh and salt water plus return the same amount of fresh and salt water to the ship prior to sailing. The same applies to fuel if it is needed to be removed from the vessel. QUESTION: Do you have a CARGOMAX program? We would like to review this in order to determine which dry-dock would be the best fit for the Golden Bear. ANSWER: By Chief Mate Dan Lintz I do need to run the numbers on our CargoMax program to determine minimum draft we can achieve considering the Fuel Oil that will be remaining on board. COMMENT BY COR SUNDFORS: Ship has departed San Francisco at 0900 hours on 13 May 2013. If additional information is needed, Contractors should contact Contracting Officer to gain information from the vessel. ********************************************************************** Amendment 0002 - 1. Makes correction to Amendment 0001 as the values should be for gallons and long tons not cu meters or sq feet. VENDOR QUESTION #3: CLIN 016 Blast and Coat 3-174-1 &2 Ballast Tanks. Could you give the approximately square footage and capacity of these tanks? MARAD RESPONSE QUESTION #3 Capacity of the tank are: 3-174-1 = 92,064 gallons or 342 long tons 3-174-2 = 96,341 gallons or 359 long tons 3-188-0 = 3,118 gallons or 71 long tons 2. The Statement of Work identifies the Service Contract Act Wage Determination No. 05-2069 - SOLANO COUNTY CA as the applicable wage determination. This is incorrect. The applicable Wage Determination will be the county where the awarded shipyard is located and where the work will be done. 3. The solicitaton closing date of 5/31/13; and all other terms and conditions remain unchanged. ********************************************************************** Amendment 0001 changes the statement of work in reference to CLIN 0003, 0009, and 0022 (Services, Sea Valves, and Steel renewal). Note that this is a net reduction in scope (Addition: a. steam supply b. clad weld tank 6-104-1 Reduction: a. telephones b. Garbage chute removal & insert c. 6-65-1 insert). The CMA security letter is not required for drydock work, so it is not included. Disk with all electronic drawings were delivered at shipcheck. Complete revised copy of ATTN2 TSGB DRYDOCK SOW is attached. VENDORS QUESTIONS WITH MARAD RESPONSES FOLLOW: VENDOR QUESTION # 1: On page 25 of the specifications under paragraph 13 Hours of Work, it states that the hours of work will be 0700 hrs until 1700 hrs. In a dry-docking availability like this one ship yards usually have a limited second shift to ensure timely completion of all work. Is a second shift authorized? MARAD RESPONSE #1: The second shift needs to be identified as to number of hours and cost per hour and number of men and how they will be monitored (eg: Second shift foreman). The idea is that we want to have a fixed labor cost if at all possible at straight time rather than overtime or premium time payments. Vendor would need to show how the second shift is truly efficient and benefits the completion of the job. VENDOR QUESTION #2: CLIN 004 Dry-docking. Is there a docking plan available in electronic for the bidders? MARAD RESPONSE QUESTION #2: The Dock plan was delivered along with most referenced plans at the Shipcheck/Pre-solicitation conference. VENDOR QUESTION #3: CLIN 016 Blast and Coat 3-174-1 &2 Ballast Tanks. Could you give the approximately square footage and capacity of these tanks? MARAD RESPONSE QUESTION #3 Capacity of the tank is: 3-174-1: 351 cu-m or 92,064 Gal 3-174-2: 96,341 Gal 365 cu-m 3-188-0: 18,812 Gal or 71 cu-m VENDOR QUESTION #4: CLIN 017 Blast and Coat 3-188-0 Ballast Tank. Could you give the approximately square footage and capacity of this tank? MARAD RESPONSE QUESTION #4 Square footage not available VENDOR QUESTION #5: CLIN 022 Steel Renewals and Hull Welding. What fluid is usually in this tank # 6-65-1? MARAD RESPONSE QUESTION #5 Normal fluid in Tank # 6-65-1 is: Fresh water, but this tank has been changed to 6-104-1 in amendment The solicitaton closing date remains 5/31/13 and all other terms and conditions remain unchanged. *******************************************************************************
