The Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINS): item, quantity, and specifications are delineated as follows: CLIN-0001: ITEM: Main Propulsion Marine Diesel Engines. QUANTITY-Two Each. SECIFICATIONS: Engines shall be compatible with the following performance specifications: Propeller Description- 086" x 71.5" 4 blade EAR=0.55; .Propeller Design Point -1187 SHP @ 296 RPM; Shafting Description -7" diameter, forged carbon steel; Max Allowable Shaft Horsepower -(Approx.) 1360 BHP per ABS rules; Reduction Gear- Niigata Twin Disc MGN-827V 6.08:1; Max Gear Box HP input -1300 Horsepower and Flywheel Housing SAE No. 0. Requirements: Horsepower @ rated speed. The engines shall have an operating profile no less than 1250 HP @ 1800 RPM and a maximum horsepower not to exceed 1300 HP. Engines with a manufactured horsepower greater than 1300 HP are acceptable provided the engines are de-rated to the specified horsepower rating without adverse effect to the engine performance, maintenance schedules, and overhaul interval. ABS Approval. The engines and ancillary equipment, including but not limited to electronic fuel management systems, shall have the approval of the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS). These engines shall be supplied with ABS recommended spares and recommended special tools to effect any repairs using the spare parts. Physical Limitations. The engines shall conform to the physical boundaries of the engine room. This includes bedplates, overheads and lateral clearances, in order to provide adequate space to perform required routine maintenance and repair of the engine without the removal of main deck plating or any other major structural members. Physical Boundaries. Maximum Length: 10'-6"; Maximum width: 07'-0"; Maximum Height from bedplate: 08'-0"; Maximum depth below bedplates: 01'-9"; Maximum dry weight (each): 15,000 lb. Engine Performance Parameters. The replacement engines shall be 4 cycle, turbo charged after cooled marine diesel engines, continuous rated for 1250 HP @ 1800 RPM. Typical engine operating profile is 1560 hours per year per engine at cruising speed and 1040 hours per year per engine at idle and low loads. The engines must operate at reduced speed (RPM) and loads for prolonged periods without detrimental effect to theengine or without increases in the recommended maintenance schedule. Detrimental effects includes but are not limited to water jacket cavitation, excessive carbon buildup in the combustion chamber and cylinder head components. The engines shall be equipped with an ABS approved electronic fuel management system to aid in preventing these deposits at low speed and low load operation. The engines must be adapted for keel cooled application. The engines will have an overhaul interval of no less than 15,000 hours. The manufacturer of the replacement engines shall have world wide parts and service capabilities. The engines shall comply with all Federal and State of California environmental regulations for marine engines of the rated HP and use. CLIN-0002: ITEM: Commercial Manuals and Drawings. QUANTITY : Three Sets. CLIN-0003: ITEM: Conduct a torsional analysis test to determine coupling compatibility. (This test will be observed by the Government.) QUANTITY: One Lot. END OF CLINS.
