(c) All material and workmanship shall be subject to inspection and test at all times during the contractor's performance of the work to determine their quality and suitability for the purpose intended and compliance with the contract. In case any material or workmanship furnished by the contractor is found to be defective prior to redelivery of the vessel, or not in accordance with the requirements of the contract, the Government shall have the right prior to redelivery of the vessel to reject such material or workmanship, and to require its correction or replacement by the contractor at the contractor's cost and expense. This Government right is in addition to its rights under any Guarantee clause in this contract. If the contractor fails to proceed promptly with the replacement or correction of such material or workmanship, as required by the Contracting Officer, the Government may, by contract or otherwise, replace or correct such material or workmanship and charge to the contractor the excess cost to the Government. The contractor shall provide and maintain an inspection system acceptable to the Government covering the work specified in the contract. Records of all inspection work by the contractor shall be kept complete and available to the Government during the performance of the contract and for a period of two (2) years after delivery of the vessel to the Government.

The welder's qualifications shall be appropriate for the particular service application, filler material type, position of welding, and welding process involved in the work being undertaken. A welder may be required to re-qualify if the Contracting Officer believes there is a reasonable doubt concerning the welder's ability. Welders' qualifications for this purpose shall be governed by the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Engineering Regulations and Material Specifications (46 CFR Subchapter F).

Procedure qualification tests shall be conducted in accordance with the United States Coast Guard Marine Engineering Regulations and Material Specifications (46 CFR Subchapter F). (e) The contractor shall exercise reasonable care to protect the vessel from fire, and the contractor shall maintain a reasonable system of inspection over the activities of welders, burners, riveters, painters, plumbers and similar workers, particularly where such activities are undertaken in the vicinity of the vessel's fuel oil tanks, magazines or storerooms containing flammable material.

The contractor shall be responsible for the correctness of the shape, sizes and dimensions of parts furnished by the contractor under the contract.

Unless otherwise expressly provided in the contract, during the conduct of these trials the vessel shall be under the control of the vessel's commander and crew with representatives of the contractor and the Government on board to determine whether the work provided by the contractor has been satisfactorily performed. Dock and sea trials not specified which the contractor requires for its own benefit shall not be undertaken by the contractor without prior notice to and approval of the Contracting Officer; any such dock or sea trial shall be conducted at the risk and expense of the contractor.

The contractor shall also be responsible for the care, installation and removal of any instruments and apparatus furnished by the Government for such trials. (End of clause) 1352.271-79 LIABILITY AND INSURANCE (APR 2010) (a) The contractor shall exercise reasonable care and use its best efforts to prevent accidents, injury or damage to all employees, persons and property, in and about the work, and to the vessel or part thereof upon which work is done. (b) The contractor shall be responsible for and make good at its own cost and expense any and all loss of or damage of whatsoever nature to the vessel (or part thereof), its equipment, movable stores and cargo, and Government-owned material and equipment for the repair, completion, alteration of or addition to the vessel in the possession of the contractor, whether at the plant or elsewhere, arising or growing out of the performance of the work, except where the contractor can affirmatively show that such loss or damage was due to causes beyond the contractor s control, was proximately caused by the fault or negligence of agents or employees of the Government, or which loss or damage the contractor by exercise of reasonable care was unable to prevent. However, the contractor shall not be responsible for any such loss or damage discovered after redelivery of the vessel unless the loss or damage is discovered within 90 days after redelivery of the vessel and loss or damage is affirmatively shown to be the result of the fault or negligence of the contractor. To induce the contractor to perform the work for the compensation provided, it is specifically agreed that the contractor's aggregate liability on account of loss of or damage to the vessel (or part thereof), its equipment, movable stores and cargo and Government-owned materials and equipment, shall in no event exceed the sum of $1,000,000.00. As to the contractor, the Government assumes the risk of loss or damage to the Government-owned vessel (or part thereof), its equipment, movable stores and cargo and said Government-owned materials and equipment in excess of $1,000,000.00. This assumption of risk includes but is not limited to loss or damage from negligence of whatsoever degree of the contractor's servants, employees, agents or subcontractors, but specifically excludes loss or damage from willful misconduct or lack of good faith on the part of contractor's personnel, who have supervision or direction of all or substantially all of the contractor's business, or all or substantial all of the contractor's operation at any one plant. However, as to such risk assumed and borne by the Government, the Government shall be subrogated to any claim, demand or cause of action against third persons which exists in favor of the contractor, and the contractor shall, if required, execute a formal assignment or transfer of claims, demands or causes of action. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall create or give rise to any right, privilege or power in any person except the contractor, nor shall any person (except the contractor) be or become entitled thereby to proceed directly against the Government, or join the Government as a co-defendant in any action against the contractor brought to determine the contractor's liability, or for any other purpose. (c) The contractor indemnifies and holds harmless the Government, its agencies and instrumentalities, and the vessel against all suits, actions, claims, costs or demands (including without limitation, suits, actions, claims, costs or demands resulting from death, personal injury and property damage) to which the Government, its agencies and instrumentalities, or the vessel may be subject or put by reason of damage or injury (including death) to the property or person of anyone other than the Government, its agencies, instrumentalities and personnel, or the vessel, arising or resulting in whole or in part from the fault, negligence, wrongful act or wrongful omission of the contractor, or any subcontractor, its or their servants, agents or employees; provided that the contractor's obligation to indemnify under this paragraph (c) shall not exceed the sum of $1,000,000.00 on account of any one accident or occurrence in respect of any one vessel. Such indemnity shall include, without limitation, suits, actions, claims, costs or demands of any kind whatsoever, resulting from death, personal injury or property damage occurring during the period of performance of work on the vessel or within 90 days after redelivery of the vessel. Any new equipment warranties that extend beyond the 90 days after redelivery of the vessel shall be assigned to the Government upon redelivery of the vessel. With respect to any such suits, actions, claims, costs or demands resulting from death, personal injury or property damage occurring after the expiration of such period, the rights and liabilities of the Government and the contractor shall be as determined by other provisions of this contract and by law; provided that such indemnity shall apply to death occurring after such period which results from any personal injury received during the period covered by the contractor's indemnity as provided herein. (d) The contractor shall, at its own expense, procure, and thereafter maintain such casualty, accident and liability insurance, in such forms and amounts as may be approved by the Contracting Officer, insuring the performance of its obligations under paragraph (c) of this clause. In addition, the contractor shall at its own expense procure and thereafter maintain such ship repairer's legal liability insurance as may be necessary to insure the contractor against its liability as ship repairer in the amount of $1,000,000.00, or the value of the vessel as determined by the Contracting Officer, whichever is the lesser, with respect to each vessel on which work is performed. The contractor shall cause the Government to be named as an additional insured under any and all liability insurance policies, However, at the discretion of the Contracting Officer, such insurance need not be procured whenever the job order requires work on parts of a vessel only and the work is to be performed at a plant other than the site of the vessel. Further, the contractor shall procure and maintain in force Worker's Compensation Insurance (or its equivalent) covering its employees engaged in the work and shall ensure the procurement and maintenance of such insurance by all subcontractors engaged in the work. The contractor shall provide evidence of insurance as required by the Government. (e) The contractor shall receive no allowance in the contract price for inclusion of any premium expense or charge for any reserve made on account of self-insurance for coverage against any risk assumed by the Government under this clause. (f) As soon as practicable after the occurrence of any loss or damage, the risk of which the Government has assumed, written notice of the damage shall be given by the contractor to the Contracting Officer. The notice shall contain full particulars of the loss or damage. If claim is made or suit is brought thereafter against the contractor as the result or because of such event, the contractor shall immediately deliver to the Government every demand, notice, summons or other process received by it or its representatives. The contractor shall cooperate with the Government, and, upon the Government's request, shall assist in effecting settlements, securing and giving evidence; obtaining the attendance of witnesses, and other assistance required in the conduct of suits. The Government shall pay to the contractor the expense, other than the cost of maintaining the contractor's usual organization, incurred in this assistance. Except at its own cost, the contractor shall not voluntarily make any payment, assume any obligation or incur any expense not imperative for the protection of the vessel or vessels at the time of the event.

Statement of Work - Annual Shipyard Services NOAA Research Vessel TATOOSH A] GENERAL INFORMATION: 1] This Statement of Work contains the requirements for shipyard services on the NOAA Research Vessel TATOOSH (R3801). 2] The general characteristics of the vessel are as follows: Length: 40 feet Beam: 12 feet Draft: ~1.5 feet Displacement: ~10 long tons 3] All work is to be accomplished at the Contractor's facility. NOAA will deliver the vessel to the Contractor's facility, and redelivery will also be at the Contractor's facility. The required performance period for all work defined is 30 days. 4] Coordination of the work schedules will be the responsibility of the Contractor to avoid any delays or disruptions in order to meet the performance period. The Contractor will provide all facilities, labor, materials, tools, and services required to complete the work UNLESS exceptions are noted in the specified tasks below. 5] Upon arrival at the Contractor's facility the contractor will accept full responsibility for the safety of the vessel, including but not limited to fire protection, security patrols, water‐tight integrity, protection from adverse environmental conditions, etc. This responsibility will terminate only after all work defined herein (or added during the work period) is complete, accepted by NOAA, and NOAA personnel remove the vessel from the Contractor's facility. 6] NOAA employees and contractors may be working on board the vessel during the contract performance period on a not to interfere basis. During this period it will be required that these personnel have full access to the vessel during normal working hours. 7] If the vessel is hauled from the water, the Contractor will ensure that all machinery and equipment used for that purpose is fully functional, suitable for the task, rated for loads at least 20% greater than the maximum weight of the vessel, and operated by trained, competent personnel. The NOAA COTR will provide a docking plan for the vessel if requested. 8] The government reserves the right to award some or all tasks defined herein, and to add tasks during the work period so long as period of performance revisions, if any, are mutually agreed. 9] All work performed under this SOW (or added to it during the period of performance) will meet or exceed all current requirements of ABYC and USCG (Subchapter T) as applicable to this size and type of vessel, in addition to any specific requirements stated below. 10] In the event defects or damage unrelated to the work tasks defined below are discovered, the Contractor will submit a Condition Found Report (CFR) to the COTR. The CFR will define corrective actions needed, the cost for that work (separated into labor, materials, services, and total), and the impact to the performance period. 2 11] All welding required as part of the tasks defined below will be performed by welders certified by ABS or USCG working in accordance with welding procedures approved by ABS or USCG. Copies of certifications and procedures will be provided to the COTR before work commences. B] SPECIFIC WORK TASKS 1] Haul, clean, block, store, and launch: Remove the vessel from the water. Pressure‐wash the entire hull from sheer line to keel removing all dirt, grime, and marine growth. If the vessel is a catamaran, clean all surfaces within the tunnel. Similarly, clean all fittings below waterline, including propulsor components, struts, stern tubes, rudders, foils, fins, through‐hulls, etc. If the vessel is fitted with waterjet propulsors, clean the interior of the jets. Do not damage any existing anti‐fouling paint unless further tasks in this SOW require its removal. Clean transducers with a non‐metallic brush, taking care to not mar the emitting surface in any way. Clean all surfaces of all anodes with a wire brush unless they are to be replaced. Block the vessel in a level attitude with the keel (or keels) 36" minimum off the ground. Inspect the hull, coatings, and all attachments and report any damage or discrepancies to the COTR in writing. Provide electrical power to the vessel suitable for its shore power system. Upon completion of all work done on the hard, launch the vessel, inspect all compartments for leaks, and secure it dockside. If dockside testing or underway trials are required after launch, provide prior notification to the COTR so NOAA personnel can attend. 2] Underbody coating system: Prepare and touch‐up and flaws in the underbody coating system with the same coating as currently applied. Manufacturer's procedures will be used in all cases. Color to match existing coatings. The contractor will ensure that all the environmental conditions are within the manufacture's specified parameters prior to starting application processes and for all coatings. A written "as‐cleaned" condition report shall be submitted to the COTR prior to painting. 3] Inspect all seacocks: Open, actuate, and visually inspect all seacocks in the hull bottom and topsides. A written report shall be submitted to the COTR detailing the location and condition of seacocks, and recommending any corrective action required. Include quotes for all recommended repairs. 4] Modify multi‐beam mount Remove the upper portion of the multi‐beam transducer housing, lowering the watertight side walls to a position 4" above static full load waterline, and reconstitute the upper flange. Revise the brackets and mounting tabs to allow the transducer to be removed while the vessel is waterborne without causing flooding of the bilge. The modified transducer mounting plate will be installed with rubber grommets and plastic sleeves to reduce transducer vibration and galvanically isolate fasteners. Install a welded loop or eye on the inside of the transducer well, and install a 1/8" stainless steel cable safety lanyard to the transducer mounting plate. Note: Provide drawings of all proposed modification to the COTR prior to commencing work. Reinstall the transducer. Upon launch test transducer operation at speeds up to 8 knots to prove adequate function. Run the vessel to maximum speed with the transducer shutdown to prove no excessive vibrations or noise is generated. 3 5] Service waterjets Replace all internal and external anodes on both jets. Replace the water seals, oil seals, thrust bearings, and seal sleeves in both jets. Replace the steering cranks on both jets. This work will include the replacement of associated nylon locking fasteners, gaskets, and O‐rings as required. Upon launching of the vessel, test both jets at all speeds and throughout their maneuvering range to demonstrate full function. 6] Realign P&S engines Realign the main engines to the waterjets by shifting their position in the hull. If required, revise the engine bearers and/or vibration mount bolting holes to retain full strength and support. The clutch output flanges and jet input flanges will be aligned parallel to within 0.003" as measured at diametrically opposed edges of the flanges, and flange longitudinal centerline offset will be held to within the tolerance of the drive shaft U‐joints. See notes from Precision Maintenance Inc. alignment performed 9/21/11. Alignment notes are included in the SOW, pages 4 and 5. Additionally, and if required, reposition the engine‐driven hydraulic pump and any other engine‐driven equipment to maintain alignments. Upon launch of the vessel, measure alignment and adjust while water‐borne to tolerances stated above. After all alignment work is complete, trial the vessel at all speeds to prove accurate alignment and full function of machinery. 7] Install GFM inverter/charger Remove the existing inverter/charger in the vessel and replace it with the unit supplied by the government. Provide all other parts required to complete the installation. Where required, upgrade breakers, cables, and wires associated with the inverter/charger to meet all applicable standards of ABYC and USCG. Upon completion, test the unit to prove full function in both inverter and charger modes. 8] Install bilge alarms Install an additional float switch in the forward void, the tank room, and the engine room, these to function as a high bilge water alarm sensors. Position these switches 4" above the existing bilge pump actuation switches and in a secure location in the aft sections of each compartment. Install a small indicator panel (or three separate panels) in the console and wire these to the alarm new sensors. Panels will provide audible and visual indication that the sensors have been tripped, and a mute button for the audible function only. The panels will be positioned and labeled to denote location in the hull. Power for the sensors and panels may be taken off the bilge pump circuits or a new circuit if space is available. Upon completion test each sensor and panel to prove complete functionality. *End of Scope of Work* Laser Alignments • In-field Balancing • Vibration Diagnostics Visit us at www pminw.com COMPANY: N.O.A.A SHIP/PLANT: Tatoosh R/V DATE: 09/21/2011 MACHINE Port M/E to R/G SPEED: 2200 Rpm TECHNICIAN: Troy Stocks UNITS: ENGLISH / METRIC FOOT POSITION VERTICAL HORIZONTAL OFFSET ANGULARITY ALIGNMENT AT THE COUPLING (@ 10") VERTICAL HORIZONTAL ANGULARITY OFFSET ANGULARITY OFFSET Initial Cold -30 235 -75 36 Final Cold -5 110 -20 49 Initial Hot Final Hot TARGETS / TOLERANCES +/-5 100+/-3 +/-5 +/-3 NOTES: Alignment was corrected to the angle of 1.5 vertical.
