The NNSY Pass Office is open for business M-F, 6:00 AM -- 4:30 PM, Sat, 8:00 AM -- 4:00 PM. Visit requests will be processed upon receipt so that the contractor will be able to receive a pass before the initial shipcheck departure times of 8:00 AM and 1:00 PM, 19 March 2001. The USS SAN FRANCISCO (SSN 711) will be available March 19, in two sessions, 8:00-12:00 AM and 1:00-5:00 PM.. POC for shipcheck is CWO3 David L.

At a minimum MBT 2 or 3 and MBT 5. Note: The USS SAN FRANCISO (SSN 711) configuration has some structural differences. This ship does not have a VLS Missile compartment and a Retractable Bow Plane recess into the MBT forward section. The submarines applicable to this project will have these two systems onboard. Also available for viewing are Industrial facilities, Drydocks Number 2 and Number 3 and the contractor lay down areas at both drydocks. A maximum of 3 representatives from each prospective contractor, not including the marine chemist, will meet the shipcheck POC at the NNSY Pass office. NNSY will arrange for transportation to the sites and the return to NNSY Pass Office. Expect the duration of the visit to be 4 hours. Each member of the contractor team will be required to provide and wear personal protective equipment (PPE). PPE includes an ANZI certified Hardhat, Safety Glasses, Safety Shoes and single hearing protection in the 84 dBA range. Additionally, since you will be looking at Main Ballast Tanks, which have the new paint system applied, contractors entering the Main Ballast Tanks will need; gloves, plain coveralls (free of rivets) and shoe coverings. Individual flashlights with lanyards are recommended. All Main Ballast Tanks on the USS SAN FRANCISCO (SSN 711) will have staging and lighting in place for the March 19th visit. The project point of contact will keep a record of all personnel and all items entering the tanks. Entry into a tank requires a "tank watch." A tank watch is required to ensure constant and positive communications is maintained with the personnel inside the tank. Each contractor will be required to maintain a tank watch while their inspection team is in the tank. Entry into a tank requires the services of a certified marine chemist to verify the tank is safe for personnel entry. The marine chemist must certify each tank visited as safe for personnel entry. Each contractor will independently gas free for the date of the shipcheck. Minimum OSHA standards will be followed CFR 29, 1915 Shipyard Industry for Fire watch and Gas Free Services. The Controlled Industrial Area (CIA) is an inherently hazardous environment. The Main Ballast Tanks will be entered from the drydock floor, through staging. Note: Lead work will be in progress in some of the ballast tanks, however, these will not be open for inspection and respiratory equipment will not be required. No yellow plastic bags or raincoats are authorized at NNSY. No photography is allowed. Please respond by 13 March 2001 either by e-mail weasewc@supship.navy.mil or FAX (757)396-1762 with your firm's capabilities for meeting these requirements.
