Dry-Dock: USCGC VENTUROUS FY26 DD

Statement of Work (SOW) / Performance Work Statement (PWS)

This document outlines the requirements for insurance, change request procedures, and the schedule of work for a contract, likely related to vessel repair or modification.

• Required Insurance: Specifies minimum coverage amounts for Ship Repairer's Liability ($500,000 per occurrence), Comprehensive General Liability ($500,000 per occurrence), Longshoremen's and Harbor Worker's Act, and State's Workmen's Compensation Law. Insurance certificates must name the US Coast Guard vessel and contract number.

• Change Request (CR) Process: Details the procedure for authorizing and pricing additional work. CRs require Contracting Officer authorization. Pricing for CRs involves a composite labor rate (burdened with direct production labor, indirect costs, and profit/fee) and separately priced direct materials, direct subcontracted services, and direct consumables. CRs do not include replacement work under specific clauses. The government may seek services outside the contract if a fair and reasonable price cannot be negotiated for a CR. The CR process involves Condition Found Reports, Change Requests, Contractor Proposals, Negotiations, and Contract Modifications.

• CR Quote Submission: Contractors must submit direct production labor hours, a list of direct materials/subcontracted services/consumables with prices, and any proposed changes to the Schedule of Work.

• Schedule of Work: Requires the contractor to provide Production Schedules, Work Package Networks, Total Manpower Loading Curves, Trade Manning Curves, and Subcontracting Lists within three working days of vessel arrival for dry-dock or at the arrival conference for dockside availabilities. Deviations from the Production Schedule must be reported.

• The document implies performance standards through the detailed breakdown of labor and material costs for CRs and the requirement for detailed scheduling documents.

• Performance occurs at the contractor's facility for dry-dock availabilities and at the arrival conference for dockside availabilities.

• Access to the Vessel: The contractor must provide reasonable access to the vessel and facilities for government personnel, other contractors, and their subcontractors on a noninterference basis, complying with shipyard safety and security regulations.

• Temporary Services: Services like water, electricity, and telephone are considered incidental. Equitable adjustments may be requested for providing temporary services if performance time is extended due to Government-caused delay.
