This federal Request for Proposals (RFP No. 19SN1026R0017) from the U.S. Embassy Singapore details a Statement of Work (SOW) for the turnkey removal and replacement of propulsion engines on the 51-foot motor yacht, Fair Winds. The contractor must supply all labor, shipyard facilities, and materials to remove the vessel’s two existing Caterpillar C12 engines and install, test, and commission two new 715-horsepower Cummins QSM11-M marine diesel engines. A critical requirement of the firm-fixed-price contract is the inspection and evaluation of the vessel's existing marine gearboxes to determine their mechanical condition, compatibility with the new Cummins engines, and remaining useful life. The contractor must submit a detailed Gearbox Inspection and Compatibility Report to the Contracting Officer before connecting the new engines. If the gearboxes are deemed compatible and serviceable, the contractor will integrate them with the new engines, perform necessary alignments, and complete dockside testing and sea trials within Singapore waters. The purchase, repair, or replacement of marine gearboxes is strictly excluded from the scope of this contract. If a gearbox is found to be incompatible or unserviceable, the contractor must halt the affected work and await written direction from the Contracting Officer. Additional responsibilities include restoring all disturbed vessel structures, such as teak decking and engine hatches, and integrating engine data with the yacht's existing navigation electronics. The contractor has 180 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed to deliver the vessel in a fully operational condition.
