Concerns that respond to this notice must fully demonstrate the capability to accomplish the below and are to supply pertinent information in sufficient detail to demonstrate a bona fide capability to meet the requirement. (v) Item 0001: Tech Rep Service Strain Gauge Alignment for the CGC DILIGENCE. The anticipated scenario to complete the required alignment measurements is as follows: Our field engineer will install the required instrumentation and make the pre drydock measurements in the vessel's homeport of Wilmington, NC. The total anticipated time required to complete this phase of the installation and measurement is approximately ten (10) hours assuming that the shafting will be available to the engineer without interruption and that the shafts can be rotated as required using the turning gears. Any shaft guards will be removed prior to the arrival of the field engineer. Service will be I.A.W. the Statement of Work (SOW). Contractor will submit finally report finding to Ship Sup's Mr. Mike Earley. Performance start date is First week of June 2014 at their homeport. Item 0002: The second measurement will be conducted immediately after the vessel is out of the water at the CG Yard. Outboard strain gage stations will be installed and the inboard gages will be repaired or replaced and the drydock alignment will be recorded. Service will be I.A.W. the Statement of Work (SOW). Performance start date determined by the CG Yard/Ship's Sup. Item 0003: The third measurement will be a repeat of the drydock measurement, once all shaft work is completed and just before the vessel is refloated. The outboard strain gages will be made water-proof to facilitate the afloat measurements, however, the yard will be required to repair the fiberglass overlay on the shafting in the area of the strain gage stations. Service will be I.A.W. the Statement of Work (SOW). Performance start date determined by the CG Yard/Ship's Sup. Item 0004: The final measurement will be conducted after the vessel is re-floated and is ballasted to 80% liquid load. The outboard strain gage stations will be wired to the fantail of the vessel to permit measurement. Upon completion of the final measurement, the outboard strain gage wiring will be removed. This will require the services of a diver. All of the alignment data will be processed and an alignment report will be generated and forwarded to the shipyard. Service will be I.A.W. the Statement of Work (SOW). Performance start date determined by the CG Yard/Ship's Sup. (vi) Place of Performance is: CGC Diligence, 109 North Water Street, Wilmington, NC 28401-1192 and Coast Guard Yard, 2401 Hawkins Point Road, Baltimore, MD 21226.
