What Does the Contract Cover?
Under the contract, RRSA will work on the main propulsion diesel engines on its 418-foot cutter fleet. The agreement requires the contractor to provide all labor, materials, equipment and technical expertise necessary to perform scheduled and emergency repairs in Alameda, California; Charleston, South Carolina; Honolulu, Hawaii; and other locations worldwide as needed.
The Contractor must also conduct both initial and post-repair operational tests and submit detailed condition found reports to the Coast Guard and support both dock and sea trials. RRSA has developed a Quality Assurance Plan, which covers parts delivery, installation and equipment testing, to minimize technical risks throughout the project.
The anticipated period of performance is 10 years, including options.
