The work resulting form a potential single award ID/IQ Firm Fixed Price type contract is as follows: •1.1. Objective. The purpose of this contract is to obtain engineering services from a single Contractor to support MSC in the areas of marine surveys, material condition surveys and inspections, safety surveys and investigations, technical engineering analysis, root cause analysis, test plan development and refinement, technical and administrative support for future SIP development, and administrative support for tests, surveys, and inspection reports. •1.2. Non-Personal Services. Non-personal engineering services shall be provided under this contract. Personnel rendering the services are not subject, either by the contract's terms or by the manner of its administration, to the supervision and control usually prevailing in relationships between the Government and its employees. •2. Specific Tasks: The Contractor shall provide engineering and technical services for accomplishing marine surveys, material condition surveys and inspections, safety surveys and investigations, technical engineering analysis, root cause analysis, test plan development and refinement, technical and administrative support for future SIP development, and administrative support for tests, surveys and inspection reports. The general disciplines in which the Contractor might be tasked to perform are listed below. Specific task descriptions and instructions, sufficient in detail to allow for Contractor performance, shall be provided with each Task Order Performance Work Statement (PWS) issued under this contract. •2.1. Marine and Mechanical Engineering. The Contractor may be required to perform marine surveys, studies, analysis, ship-checks, and technical reports for material readiness efforts on marine and mechanical engineering systems. The expertise includes, but is not limited to, the following areas: •· Fluid systems analysis •· Main propulsion system analysis - diesel, steam, and gas turbine •· Auxiliary systems analysis •· HVAC system analysis •· Control and instrumentation systems analysis •· Monitoring systems analysis •· Deck machinery analysis •· Other specialized marine engineering functions •2.2. Electrical and Electronic Engineering. The Contractor may be required to perform surveys, studies, analysis, ship-checks, and technical reports for material readiness on electrical and electronic engineering systems. The expertise includes, but is not limited to, the following areas: •· Power generating systems analysis •· Power distribution systems analysis •· Control systems (electrical and electronic) •· Monitoring systems •· Navigation systems •· Communications systems •· Other specialized electrical engineering functions •2.3. Naval Architecture. The Contractor may be required to perform surveys, studies, analysis, ship-checks, and technical reports for material readiness on naval architecture systems. The expertise includes, but is not limited to, the following areas: •· Structural analysis •· Cargo handling systems •· Weight and Moment Reports and Calculations •· Stability Calculations •· Inclining Experiment Calculations •· Mooring Studies •· Other specialized naval architecture functions •2.4. Shipboard Testing and Inspection Surveys. The Contractor may be required to provide technical management, administrative, technical services, and troubleshooting of equipment in connection with test and inspections onboard MSC ships. The Contractor may be required to obtain test documentation, provide test equipment/data collectors, and research/retrieve applicable technical documentation. The Contractor may be required to act as an inspector or observer of shipboard tests and inspections. The Contractor may be required to execute, but not limited to, the following types of Inspection and Test Surveys: •· Ship Material Assessment and Readiness Testing •· Thermographic Analysis Surveys •· Onboard Condition Inspection (OCI) Surveys •· Material Readiness Evaluations •· Hull and Structural Survey •· Machinery Survey •· Outyears Engineering Requirements Assessment (OERA) •· Root Cause Analysis Investigations Machinery Surveys may include inspection and survey all piping, duct work, vents, foundations, deckplates, hangers, electrical power cabling and instrumentation and control wiring for integrity, deterioration and, when applicable, adequate preservation. Thermographic analysis surveys may include all electrical group controllers, power panels, lighting panels, switchboards and all thermal insulated surfaces, Megger checks on all motors and generators, time vs. resistance, Di-Electric Absorption Ratio (DAR), and Polarization Index (PI) test readings on all new or reconditioned motors and generators. Testing of equipment may be required to include, but not be limited to vibration, ultrasonic, thermographic, electronic combustion analysis and other analysis as deemed appropriate by the Government. Equipment to be tested includes, but is not limited to all boilers, turbines, pumps, condensers, heat exchangers, compressors, fans, electric motors and generators, diesel engines, capstans, winches, evaporators, pneumatic and electric control, and instrumentation systems. •2.5. Safety Surveys and Investigations. The Contractor may be required to perform non-personal safety analysis services, safety engineering, incident analysis, technical services, and shipboard safety system audit services to conduct studies, analysis, ship-checks, and technical reports for shipboard safety surveys and investigations. Expertise in Navy Safety Center, NAVOSH and OSHA, ISM, as well as USCG and SOLAS standards and requirements for shipboard safety shall be required to perform or assist in the conduct of safety surveys and investigations as tasked. •2.6. Test Plan Development and Maintenance. The Contractor may be required to perform the following for Test Plan development and Maintenance for MSC ships: •· Develop, execute, and maintain test plans for all equipment as directed. Including, but not limited to Material Readiness Evaluation (MRE) Test Plans and Shipboard Material Assessment and Readiness Training (SMART) Test Plans (See Attachment A-1 and Attachment A-2). •· Validate and update the test plans during initial execution of a test or inspection for each ship. •· Develop test procedures for each piece of equipment to demonstrate it performs as designed or identify any deviation from the design. •· Support development of the SIP, which will combine the present SMART and OCI inspections into a single, consistent material readiness evaluation and reporting tool for all MSC vessels. Test procedures for major propulsion and auxiliary equipment shall conform to either Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME) codes or American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Performance Test Codes (PTC). All other equipment may be required to be tested in accordance with the Original Equipment Manufacturer's (OEM) recommendations. When OEM's recommendations do not address testing, the test procedure will be developed by the Contractor using acceptable engineering practice. •2.7. Engineering Testing and Analysis Services. The Contractor may be required to perform the following for test execution and data analysis on MSC ships: •· Schedule and develop an agenda to implement a test plan or inspection of each ship. •· Calibrate and install all necessary instrumentation and controls required to test each piece of equipment. The Contractor is required to maintain calibration documentation for all test equipment used for tests and inspections on MSC ships. •· Test the equipment at or near rated operating conditions. •2.8. Test and Inspection Reports. In accordance with Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) A006 (Test and Acceptance Reports), the Contractor may be required to develop Test and Inspection Reports that contain: •· The completed test plan. •· All objective test data obtained during testing and inspection. •· The corresponding design data and conclusions as to the condition of the equipment. •· System or structure based on comparison of design data to actual data. •· Recommendations to correct any deficiencies. •· Machinery Efficiency Analysis Reports that calculate the efficiency of each major component in the main propulsion and auxiliary power cycles, using the data obtained during equipment testing including overall plant efficiency.
