One (1) Starboard side - 1A b. Two (2) Port Side - 2A and 2B 3.3 Item Description/Manufacturer's Data: 3.1.1 Line Shaft Bearing Manufacturer: American Metal Bearing Company 7191 Acacia Ave. Garden Grove, Ca 92641 4.0 GOVERNMENT FURNISHED EQUIPMENT/MATERIAL: None 5.0 NOTES: None 6.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE REQUIREMENTS: 6.1 The contractor shall contact the MSC Rep. upon completion of work to inspect the content, accuracy and completion of all work items described in the following SOW. 7.0 STATEMENT OF WORK REQUIRED: 7.1 Provide the services of a MSFSC approved engineering firm to oversee all requirements of this work item. 7.2 Contractor shall install strain gages on the Port and Starboard shafts. 7.3 Contractor shall measure shaft strains on the Port and Starboard shafts and compute bearing loads on the1A/2A/2B line shaft bearings (Cold Condition) using the following procedures: A. Record shaft alignment data by strain gage method on both shafts while the vessel is afloat at approximately 90% full load displacement. Data shall be recorded from no less than three gage stations on the Stbd shaft configured to allow the derivation of all inboard bearing vertical and horizontal loads. Data shall be recorded from no less than four gage stations on the Port shaft configured to allow the derivation of all inboard bearing vertical and horizontal loads. All raw strain readings and gage station location information shall be included in the analysis report. B. Derive bearing vertical load by lift/load method on both shafts while the vessel is afloat at approximately 90% full load displacement. Data shall be recorded at a total of three line shaft bearings, one on the Stbd side and two on the Port side, at no less than four positions of shaft rotation at each bearing. Lift data shall be by a calibrated dial indicator type instrument with at least 0.0001" resolution. Load data shall be by a calibrated digital display electronic load cell type instrument with at least a 10# resolution. Rotational shaft positions are to be referenced to one fixed index such as the docking position of the shaft or the #1 bolt of the forward most flange. All raw lift & load data and jack & indicator position information shall be included in the analysis report. 7.4 Contractor shall provide recommendations (via condition report) to the Principle Port Engineer and Chief Engineer for any bearing pedestal movement, as dictated by the shaft strain measurements. 7.5 Line Shaft Bearing Adjustment: 7.5.1 Rep shall provide technical oversight all line shaft bearing movements. 7.5 Contractor shall measure shaft strains and compute bearing loads following all bearing pedestal movement to verify recommended condition has been attained. Perform as stated in 7.3. 7.6 Contractor shall provide all equipment and material required to acquire lateral vibrations at the line shaft bearings and main reduction gear. 7.7 Contractor shall provide an outbrief report to the Principle Port Engineer and Chief Engineer that shall contain all readings and calculations from all Cold and Hot Condition shaft strain measurements and lateral vibration levels. 7.8 Contractor shall provide a final report of all actions within thirty (30) days of completion of work. 8.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: None additional The following FAR and DFAR provisions and clauses apply to this solicitation and are incorporated by reference: 52.204-7 Central Contractor Registration; 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors-Commercial Items; 52.212-3 Alt I Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial Items (Offerors are advised to include a completed copy of this provision with their quote or a statement stating that it is available via the ORCA website, http://orca.bpn.gov.) 52.212-4 Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items; 52.212-5 Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders - Commercial Items 52.204-10 Reporting Executive Compensation and First-Tier Subcontract Awards 52.219-28 Post-Award Small Business Program Representation. 52.222-3 Convict Labor, 52.222-19 Child Labor - Cooperation with Authorities and Remedies, 52.222-21 Prohibition of Segregated Facilities, 52.222-26 Equal Opportunity, 52.222-35 Equal Opportunity for Disabled Veterans (over 100K) 52.222-36 Affirmative Action for Workers with Disabilities, (Over 15K) 52.222-37 Employment Reports on Special Disabled Veterans (When 52.222-35 Applies) 52.223-18 Contractor Policy to Ban Text Messaging While Driving 52.225-13 Restrictions on Certain Foreign Purchases, and 52.232-33 Payment by Electronic Funds Transfer --Central Contractor Registration 52.222-41 Service Contract Act 52.215-5 Facsimile Proposals: +1 (555) 000-0000 252.204-7004 Required Central Contractor Registration.
