STATEMENT OF WORK

Project Title: USCGC SYCAMORE Crane Swing Drive Encoder Service

Contractor: Appleton Marine Inc.

Unit: USCGC SYCAMORE

1. Background

The Appleton Crane's slew function is inoperative. Troubleshooting has identified a failure in the swing drive encoder, which is not providing the necessary 12-bit grayscale binary data output. This data is critical for the crane to determine its position within its 360-degree operational arc. As a result, the crane cannot slew unless the faulty encoder is disabled. This project is required to replace the defective components and restore full, safe operational capability to the crane. This Statement of Work outlines the services to be provided by Appleton Marine Inc. aboard the USCGC SYCAMORE (WLB-209). The contractor will be responsible for the installation of new parts, programming, and recalibration of the crane's swing drive encoder and associated systems.

2. Contractor Responsibilities

Appleton Marine Inc. will provide all necessary labor, tools, and expertise to perform the following tasks:

• Installation: Install the government-furnished parts as detailed in Section 4 of this document.
• Programming: Program the newly installed multi-turn ethernet encoder to ensure full functionality.
• Recalibration: Recalibrate the crane's swing drive encoder to ensure accurate and safe operation.
• Testing: Conduct comprehensive testing of the crane's swing drive to verify that all systems are functioning correctly and meet operational standards.
• Coordination: Schedule all on-site work with the USCGC SYCAMORE's Engineer Officer.

3. Government Responsibilities

The USCGC SYCAMORE will be responsible for the following:

• Providing access to the vessel for Appleton Marine Inc. personnel.
