USCGC RAYMOND EVANS Pre-Alignment, Alignment, Post-Alignment Verification

The Department of Homeland Security, through the U.S. Coast Guard Base Miami, has issued an award notice for solicitation 70Z02826PMIAM0002 to provide pre-alignment, alignment, and post-alignment verification services for the USCGC Raymond Evans, a 154-foot Fast Response Cutter. This total small business set-aside under NAICS 336611 is valued at an estimated 14,983.75 dollars. The work is performed on-site at US Coast Guard Base Miami, Florida, and is divided into three sequential phases: documenting existing engine foot markings and baseline readings, performing precision laser alignment to meet MTU and USCG tolerances for concentricity, angularity, and face runout, and conducting final verification following sea trials. The contractor is required to use the Fluke/Pruftechnik Rotalign Touch laser alignment system and provide technicians with specific experience on USCG Fast Response Cutter main engines. Key deliverables include three separate Condition Found Reports covering the pre-alignment, alignment, and post-alignment phases, as well as a final inspection and verification form co-signed by the contractor and the Contracting Officer’s Representative or Port Engineer. The scope explicitly excludes shimming, chocking, drilling, painting, and coupling removal. Performance is event-driven based on vessel availability, and the contractor must provide 24-hour advance notice to the government before conducting alignment checks.
