DRYDOCK: USCGC HAWKSBILL DD FY26

Amendment / Modification

This document is a Specification Addendum that details specific instructions and requirements for contractors. Key areas covered include:

• Required Insurance: Outlines the types and minimum amounts of insurance contractors must maintain, including Ship Repairer's Liability ($500,000 per occurrence), Comprehensive General Liability ($500,000 per occurrence), Longshoremen's and Harbor Worker's Act coverage, and State Workmen's Compensation Law coverage. Insurance certificates must specify the US Coast Guard vessel and contract number.
• Change Request (CR) Process: Details the procedure for handling Change Requests, which require Contracting Officer authorization. It specifies that CRs will be performed at designated labor billing rates and outlines how direct production labor, indirect costs, and direct consumables/expendables are defined and priced. It also clarifies that direct materials and direct subcontracted services are priced separately and not included in the CR composite labor rate. CRs do not cover replacement work under specific clauses. The process involves Condition Found Reports (CFR), Condition Report Replies (CRR), Change Requests, contractor proposals, negotiations, and approved work requests, culminating in a contract modification. Contractors must submit details on direct production labor hours, materials, consumables, and any proposed changes to the Schedule of Work for CR quotes. Payment for CR work is contingent upon a written contract modification.
• Schedule of Work: Requires contractors to provide several documents within three working days of a vessel's arrival for dry-dock or dockside availabilities, including a Production Schedule, Work Package Network, Total Manpower Loading Curve, Trade Manning Curves, and Subcontracting List. These documents must detail schedules, milestones, critical paths, and manning requirements. Any deviations from the Production Schedule impacting the performance period may result in remedies for late performance.
• Access to the Vessel: Grants authorized Government personnel and representatives of other contractors reasonable access to the contractor's facility and the vessel for performance of their duties, requiring compliance with contractor rules regarding safety and security.
• Temporary Services: Defines temporary services as incidental to the work and potentially provided by the contractor (e.g., utilities, office space). If performance time is extended due to Government-caused delay, contractors may request an equitable adjustment for these services.

This addendum introduces new requirements and procedures related to insurance, change requests, schedule submissions, vessel access, and temporary services. It modifies or supplements existing contract terms.

Contractors must ensure they meet the specified insurance requirements. The detailed CR process impacts how additional work is proposed, priced, and authorized. Submission of detailed schedules and manpower loading curves is required upon vessel arrival. The process for Change Requests and their eventual modification to the contract is clearly defined.
