Actual rigging of parts and moving parts to/from the aft deck and generator room shall be the responsibility of the contractor. 3.9.2 Reference 2.1 will be available for review during scheduled pre-bid inspection and during the performance period of the contract. References 2.2 through 2.4 shall be contractor furnished. Reference 2.5 follows this specification as an attachment. END OF SPECIFICATION Reference 2.5 GENERATOR ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE The Contractor shall take the following readings before disassembly: a. generator fan angular deflection, b. generator shaft runout (TIR), c. crankshaft end play, d. crankshaft deflection. Above readings shall be taken again upon reassembly, after the generator to engine alignment relationships have been re-established. Record all results on condition reports and report the results to the attending NOAA Port Engineer, or assigned representative. Before performing the parallel and angular alignment checks, ensure that the natural clearance between the base and its foundation is properly gapped with shims at all mounting locations and check that all base-to-foundation bolts are tightened to their final torque. If deflection of the base is noted, loosen base-to-foundation bolts at affected locations, shim as necessary to eliminate deflection, and re-tighten base-to-foundation bolts to their final torque. Inability to attain repeatability of readings may be due to cocking of the flywheel by the turning tool. An end-supporting turning tool has proven to be superior to free-gear types for taking these particular reading. If an end-supported tool is not available, good results are attainable with a free-gear type if tooth engagement is reduced to the bare minimum necessary to turn the flywheel. The deflection dial indicator must not have a leash attached since it may change readings. PARALLEL ALIGNMENT (SHAFT RUNOUT) Ensure that the generator shaft surface, which is to be measured with the dial indicator, is clean. Solvent and or light sanding with emery cloth should remove any dirt or rust accumulation. Place the base of a dial indicator on the uppermost generator adaptor frame rib and position the indicator finger, which requires extensions, on the generator shaft. Preliminary readings can be taken on the coupling; final readings will be taken on the shaft only. Zero the dial indicator at the 12 o'clock position. It is essential to ensure that the dial indicator base does not move during the run-out check. Any movement will result in erroneous readings. Rotate the shaft one revolution starting at the 12 o'clock position, checking and recording the dial indicator readings every 90 degrees. To validate the readings, at the completion of the revolution, the dial indicator must return to 0 at the original 12 o'clock starting position. In order to ensure accuracy, repeatability of the readings must be obtained for two consecutive revolutions of the shaft. Desired reading is 0.000 inch. Total indicator readings shall not exceed.005 inches. Adjust drive flex plate pack (discs) to flywheel installation as necessary to bring parallel alignment into tolerance. Adjustment is accomplished by changing the diesel engine flywheel to generator drive flex plate pack relationship. If total indicator readings exceed 0.005 inches, adjustment is accomplished by removing the drive flex plate pack to flywheel bolts and turning the engine flywheel with the turning gear. The generator can be prevented from rotating with the engine by installing a capscrew in the generator coupling and then holding the generator with a 36" long pinch bar or angle iron placed on the capscrew and generator web. The engine to flywheel relationship is changed one or more bolt holes at a time. Reinstall the drive flex plate pack to flywheel bolts and take runout readings. Adjust as necessary to bring TIR readings into tolerance. GENERATOR ANGULAR ALIGNMENT Place a deflection dial indicator at the 12 o'clock position between the forward face of the fan and the drive flex plate at a point as far away as possible from the centerline of the shaft. The contact points for the deflection dial indicator fingers should be lightly punch marked. Starting at the 12 o'clock position, rotate the shaft one revolution checking and recording readings every 90 degrees. To validate readings, at the completion of the revolution, the deflection dial indicator must return to zero at the 12 o'clock starting position. In order to ensure accuracy, repeatability of the readings must be obtained for two consecutive revolutions of the shaft. Desired generator angular alignment readings are as follows: 12 O'CLOCK: 0.000 (starting point) 3 O'CLOCK: 0.000 TO +0.004 6 O'CLOCK: 0.000 TO +0.008 9 O'CLOCK: 0.000 TO +0.004 12 O'CLOCK: 0.000 (original starting point) Adjust as necessary to bring angularity readings into compliance with paragraph 3 above. If adjustment is effected, a final set of angularity readings must be obtained after all bolts securing the generator to the engine and the generator to base are tightened to their final torque. CRANKSHAFT DEFLECTION Measure between faces of connecting rod throws of the crankshaft next to the center main bearing #4 and within.250 in. of the counterweight in accordance with Caterpillar Instructions. Record readings. CRANKSHAFT END PLAY Measure crankshaft end play in accordance with Caterpillar instructions. Record readings. OBSERVANCE OF LEGAL HOLIDAYS AND SITE CLOSURE INFORMATION The Contractor hereby agrees to observe the following Federal holidays, plus any other day off work designated by Federal Statute, by Executive Order, or by Presidential proclamation: New Year's Day Labor Day Martin Luther King's Birthday Columbus Day President's Day Veteran's Day Memorial Day Thanksgiving Day Independence Day Christmas Day When any holiday falls on a Saturday, the preceding Friday is observed; when any holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday is observed. All personnel assigned to this contract shall limit their observation of holidays to those set forth above. In each instance, the Contractor agrees to continue to provide sufficient personnel to perform requirements of any critical tasks already in operation or scheduled, and shall be guided by the instructions issued by the Contracting Officer or the MIC. In the event of a site dismissal or closure due to weather, emergency or other circumstances, the contractor is instructed to contact the MIC or Alternate MIC for guidance.
