Claudette.y.surrento@uscg.mil STATEMENT OF WORK Background The U.S. Coast Guard requires short term lease services for all labor, materials, scaffolding, supervision and OHSA certified inspection necessary to erect, position, and dismantle Tubular and Coupler heavy maintenance scaffolding work platform around an HC-130 aircraft for performance of depot level maintenance at the DRS-C3A Heavy Maintenance Facility (HMF) located adjacent to the Aviation Logistics Center in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. Scaffolding to provide a safe walkway and work platform is necessary for personnel to inspect the aircraft, disassemble portions of the airframe, perform repairs, and re-assemble the airframe to return the aircraft to a flyable status. Scope The contractor shall provide all labor, materials, scaffolding, supervision, and OSHA certified inspection necessary to erect, position, and dismantle the scaffolding around an HC-130 aircraft. Scaffolding supplies must be appropriate for heavy maintenance on the aircraft and must meet OSHA requirements contained in 29 CPR Part 1926, Subpart L. All scaffolding must be installed, changed, and dismantled by personnel designated as "competently trained" in accordance with OSHA standards. The scaffolding shall be erected underneath the entire length of both wing sections and the tail section. The scaffolding must provide a walkway for the entire area under the wing and tail approximately 4 to 5 feet from the underside of the wing/tail surface and extend 5 feet beyond the surface. No attachment to the floor is permitted. Requirements On-site assembly of the scaffold work platform is required Dec. 18, 2012. Due to aircraft scheduling requirements, the required assembly date may be delayed, but will be no earlier than Dec. 18. The Contracting Officer will provide written notice a minimum of 48 hours in advance of any change to the required assembly date. Scaffold Configuration for Total Aircraft, including Tail, with Aircraft Wings Removed. Includes both sides of the aircraft. Fuselage/Wing Area: The contractor shall erect a scaffold work platform approximately 25' wide x 64' long x 8-1/2' high. The work platform shall be 5' to 5-1/2' below the bottom of the wing section. The work platform shall cantilever approximately 2' toward the fuselage to follow the contour to access panels. The work platform shall be accessible by two stair units, one on each side. Guardrail shall be installed around the perimeter of the work platform. Tail Area: The contractor shall erect a scaffold work platform approximately 16’ wide x 61' long x 13’ high. Work platform shall be 5' to 5-1/2' below the bottom of the tail wing. Work platform shall be accessible by two stair units, one on each end. Guardrail shall be installed around the perimeter of the work platform. Aircraft will be located at the DRS Technologies Heavy Maintenance Facility (HMF) adjacent to the U.S. Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. The contractor will be permitted to use these facilities in performing the work. If requested, forklifts will be provided for unloading and loading of materials, at no risk to the Government. The Contractor is responsible for delivery of any and all materials to the job site and aircraft work area. Sufficient area for staging is available on site. Special precautions shall be taken by the Contractor to ensure construction materials and debris do not enter the airfield, runways, or taxiways. All applicable Materials Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for Contractor provided material must be provided upon delivery of the material.

Work shall be performed during routine working hours, from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday excluding safety issues.
