Christopher Baker Christopher.Baker@noaa.gov FIRM FIXED PRICE CLIN 0001 – BASE PoP SCOPE Objective: Clean the Sewage Holding Tank of the NOAA SHIP Oscar Elton Sette. Note: There’s something in the tank that is blocking the suction lines. Snaking the suction line only temporarily pushes the blockage back into the sewage holding tank. REFERENCE DOCUMENTS None GOVERNMENT FURNISHED MATERIAL (GFM) None GENERAL REQUIREMENTS Pump out and properly dispose of all remaining sewage, water, sludge, and debris. For bidding purposes, the sewage tank is approximately 5,000 gallons. It will be pumped down as empty as possible with residual sewage remaining. Open, ventilate, and clean to be safe for entry of workers, then close the tank. High-pressure water wash tanks, including sides, overhead, bottom, and all internals, to remove slime and light scale. Light scraping may be necessary, but take care not to damage coating systems. Pump out, remove, and properly dispose of all residual water and debris. Post a gas-free certificate, issued by a Marine Chemist, near the access to each tank, and provide a copy of each certificate to the COR. After all work inside the tanks is completed and accepted by the COR, close each opened tank. Immediately prior to closing each tank, the COR or designate will inspect the interior to verify that all rags and residual debris are removed. QUALITY ASSURANCE Walk through with Ship’s Engineers to verify tanks are free of debris after cleaning. During filling, recheck manhole covers and vents for leaks.
