The offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that the offeror and/or any of its principals- (1) o Are, o are not presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any Federal agency; (2) o Have, o have not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a Federal, state or local government contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or state antitrust statutes relating to the submission of offers; or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws, or receiving stolen property; (3) o Are, o are not presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a Government entity with, commission of any of these offenses enumerated in paragraph (h)(2) of this clause; and (4) o Have, o have not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds $3,000 for which the liability remains unsatisfied. (i) Taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply: (A) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted. (B) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded. (ii) Examples. (A) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. §6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights. (B) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. §6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights. (C) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. §6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment. (D) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. §362 (the Bankruptcy Code). (i) Certification Regarding Knowledge of Child Labor for Listed End Products (Executive Order 13126). [The Contracting Officer must list in paragraph (i)(1) any end products being acquired under this solicitation that are included in the List of Products Requiring Contractor Certification as to Forced or Indentured Child Labor, unless excluded at 22.1503(b).] (1) Listed end products.

It is believed this is due to marine growth being ground up in the stern tube bearing. Likely marine growth exists in the stern tube void, stern tube bearing, and cavity where shaft and stern tube bearing meet. 5.3 Previous dive inspections identified marine growth in the cavity where the propeller hub and stern tube structure meet. The aft end of the stern tube bearing is within this area. 5.4 Previous dive inspection recommended utilization of a small flexible tip nozzle utilizing high pressure water to clean the marine growth from this cavity. 5.5 The cavity cleaning and borescoping will require a dive service that has extensive experience in industrial diving. 5.6 The Contractor and all subcontractors, regardless of tier must consult the General Technical Requirements (GTRs) to determine applicability to this Work Item. In performance of this Work Item, the contractor and all subcontractors regardless of tier must comply with the requirements of all applicable GTRs. 5.7 The contractor and all subcontractors, regardless of tier, are advised to review other work items under this contract to determine their effect on the work required under this work item. 5.8 This propeller blades are of a highly complex design and require special consideration to prevent damage (nicks, scrapes) caused by equipment or tools while performing work. 5.9 The propulsion shaft has a jacking gear that can be utilized to rotate the shaft in a very controlled and slow manner if required by divers. 6.1 QUALITY ASSURANCE REQUIREMENTS: 6.2 Upon completion of all work; video shall be provided to GOV that depicts a cleaned cavity and borescope inspection results. 7.1 STATEMENT OF WORK: 7.2 Clean area where the stern tube bearing and shaft meet. Note: This area is accessed via a 32mm gap between the propeller hub and the stern tube structure. 7.2.1 Once cleaning is completed, perform a borescope inspection the stern tube via the bearing channels working forward to inspect for marine growth, calcification of the shaft, bearing wear, etc. 7.2.2 Ensure that the borescope inspection reaches as far as possible. Into the stern tube void if possible. 7.2.3 Provide video that depicts a clean cavity and borescope inspection results. -End of Work Item- 1.1 ABSTRACT: 1.2 This work item describes the replacement of the anchor windlass HPU heat exchanger aboard the NOAA Ship Reuben Lasker. 2.1 REFERENCES/ENCLOSURES: 2.2 References 2.2.1 Drawing FSV6-601-01 Rev (F) General Arrangements 2.2.2 Drawing FSV6-631-01 Rev (B) Paint Schedule 2.2.3 Drawing FSV6-556-01 Rev (D) Hydraulic System Diagram 2.2.4 Anchor Windlass Manual 581-01-00001-010 Rev (A) 2.2.5 Alfa Laval M3-FG Heat Exchanger Details 2.1 ITEM LOCATION/ Components: 2.2 Locations (Primary, but not limited to) 2.2.1 Scientific Stores 1-4-0 2.3 Components 2.3.1 The contractor shall provide all material required to install a fully functional system to meet the requirements of this specification. 2.2.1.1 Specifically: brackets, hoses, fittings, connections, hydraulic fluid, 3.1 GOVERNMENT FURNISHED MATERIAL/SERVICES: 3.2 One oil cooler equivalent to Alfa Laval model M3-FG with 53 plates 3.1.1 Estimated Delivery Date: December 10, 2015 4.1 NOTES: 4.2 The Contractor and all subcontractors, regardless of tier must consult the General Technical Requirements (GTRs) to determine applicability to this Work Item.
