This procurement is set aside for small business. The NAICS code for this solicitation is 811310 and the small business size standard is 500. The USCG Engineering Logistics Center has a requirement for the following services onboard the USCGC TYBEE (WPB1330) on or about 4 April 2006. Work will be performed at the United States Coast Guard YARD in Baltimore, Maryland. To request drawings contact Ron Almond @ 410-762-6451 or via email: ronald.almond@uscg.mil. SCOPE OF WORK: 1. Ultrasonic hull survey. After the primer coat has cured, the Contractor shall perform a side-scan ultrasonic survey of the underwater hull surfaces. The Contractor shall plan all specified vessel work detailed in this specification package to ensure the side-scan survey does not necessitate a work stoppage. Abide by the following guidance, to facilitate the ultrasonic survey: Ensure that all surface preparation and primer coat application tasks are completed within ten days of lifting the vessel. Prior to side-scan survey, inspect the vessel bilge plating for bubbles of rusted metal. Break up and remove all rust bubbles with a small hand tool, to facilitate accurate survey results. Allow ten days for the survey team to complete its required tasks. Provide a continuous supply of fresh water and 110 VAC electrical power, and scaffolding or other suitable means of access to the underwater hull surfaces. Remove all cathodic protection system anodes prior to the hull survey as interferences. After completion of the hull survey and authorized hull repairs, complete the underwater hull preservation process by applying the second coat of the anti-corrosive coating system, and all anti-fouling paint coats. 2. Side-scan procedure. The Contractor shall conduct the ?Scanning Crawler Automated Test? to inspect the hull for corrosion and deterioration by accomplishing the following: (a) Provide a qualified crew to operate all side scan equipment. (b) Provide an ASNT Level III Analyst. The level III shall be on site during the entire scanning process and review all DATA. All proof ups shall be completed by an ASNT Level II Analyst. All scanning shall be completed by a certified automated scanner with a proven history. (c) Complete the scan within 10 calendar days. (d) Provide a daily update to the COR on all areas inspected and potential issues or schedule changes. (e) Notify the COR at least 3 days prior to completion for an onsite review of readings and repair areas. (f) Hand held UT readings shall be taken to verify bad metal areas found with the side scan equipment. All readings shall be provided to the COR and the lowest reading marked on the hull at the bad metal location. Readings shall be completed by a Level II ASNT Analyst. (g) Any scanning parameter or scope of work changes shall be approved by the AO. 3. Scanning parameters. The Contractor shall use the following parameters during the course of this inspection: (a) Scanning resolution shall be set to (.5x .5).
