The Department of Homeland Security, specifically the U.S. Coast Guard, is seeking qualified contractors to perform repairs on the CO2 fire suppression system aboard the CGC Henry Blake. The primary objective is to replace failed time delays in the CO2 systems located in the Engine Room, Emergency Diesel Generator Room, and Paint Locker, ensuring compliance with the required 60-second delay for annual certification. This maintenance is critical for the operational safety of the vessel and adherence to fire safety regulations. The work is scheduled to take place from August 11 to August 15, 2025, at NAVSTA Everett, with contractors required to follow strict security protocols. Interested parties can contact Justin Wooldridge at justin.r.wooldridge2@uscg.mil or 206-820-5327 for further details.

This Scope of Work (SOW) outlines the replacement of failed time delays on CO2 fire suppression systems aboard the CGC Henry Blake, specifically in the Engine Room, Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) Room, and Paint Locker. The purpose is to ensure the systems meet the required 60-second delay for annual certification. Two qualified technicians will perform the replacement, provide necessary materials, and conduct retesting. The work is scheduled for August 11-15, 2025, at NAVSTA Everett. DC2 Zurcher will coordinate, oversee, and verify the work, while contractors are responsible for labor, materials, retesting, and documentation. The system must be fully operational with a verified 60-second delay. Contractors must adhere to NAVSTA Everett's security protocols, including identification checks and escort procedures. Post-installation, DC2 Zurcher will monitor performance. All technicians must be certified, and the ship’s firefighting doctrine will be updated during maintenance.

**Scope of Work (SOW) for CO2 Fire Suppression System Time Delay Replacement**

**1. Purpose and Scope**  
The purpose of this Scope of Work (SOW) is to outline the process for the removal and replacement of failed time delays on the installed CO2 fire suppression systems in the Engine Room, Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) Room, and Paint Locker aboard the CGC Henry Blake. The replacement will be conducted by qualified personnel to ensure that the time delay for the CO2 discharge system meets the required 60-second delay as per system specifications to maintain annual certification.

**2. Deliverables and Performance Requirements**

* **Personnel**: Two (2) technicians will perform the required tasks of replacing the failed time delays and conducting retesting to ensure full compliance with system specifications.
* **Equipment and Materials**: Contractors will provide the new time delays and necessary materials required for the system's repair.
* **Testing**: Upon installation of the new time delays, the system will be tested to verify that the time delay meets the required 60-second delay before CO2 is discharged.

**3. Period of Performance**  
POP is 11Aug-15Aug 2025. The maintenance will be scheduled between contractors and DC2 Zurcher and will take place during aCharlie period.

**4. Location and Method of Performance**

* **Location**: The work will be conducted onboard the CGC Henry Blake while stationed at NAVSTA Everett.
* **Work Areas**: The CO2 cylinders and the points where CO2 is dispersed (Engine Room, EDG Room, Paint Locker) will be the primary work areas.

**5. Roles and Responsibilities**

* **DC2 Zurcher**: DC2 Zurcher will be responsible for coordinating the date of maintenance with contractors, overseeing the contractors’ work, and ensuring that the work meets all required specifications. DC2 will also ensure that the completed work passes the necessary inspection and system testing, ensuring the CO2 system is operational and satisfies annual inspection criteria.
* **Contractor**: Technicians are responsible for providing labor, new time delays, and retesting the system to confirm the time delay works as per the specifications. The contractor will also ensure all work is documented and all relevant test data is provided.

**6. Acceptance Criteria**  
The installed CO2 fire suppression system must be fully operational with a verified 60-second time delay prior to CO2 discharge. The contractor will provide a report documenting the completion of the maintenance, the inspection process, and the operational status of the system.

**7. Security and Confidentiality**

* **Security**: The installation will occur at NAVSTA Everett, which is currently under FPCON Bravo ++. Contractors will be required to adhere to base security protocols, including obtaining a day pass for entry, and providing identification upon arrival.
* **Confidentiality**: All work will be conducted in compliance with security regulations, and contractors will adhere to base confidentiality guidelines.

**8. Reporting Requirements**

* Contractors will provide DC2 Zurcher with the names, emails, and phone numbers of all personnel performing the work. This information will be shared with base security for access control purposes.
* Upon arrival at the security gate, contractors will present two forms of identification to obtain a day pass. If an escort is needed, DC2 will provide one.
* Upon arrival at the vessel, contractors must sign into the visitor log under the supervision of the Officer of the Day (OOD). DC2 will oversee the contractors throughout the work process.
* After the job is complete, and if all work meets required specifications, contractors will sign out and be escorted off the base.

**9. Legal Compliance**  
This section is not applicable (N/A) for this scope of work.

**10. Performance Monitoring**

* **Post-Installation Monitoring**: DC2 Zurcher will monitor the performance of the installed CO2 systems following the time delay replacement. After the system is activated, a timer will be initiated to ensure the CO2 is discharged exactly 60 seconds after activation.
* **Verification**: Once the CO2 system is activated and the 60-second time delay is verified, the contractor will provide a record of the system’s operational performance, including maintenance and testing results.

**11. Additional Considerations**

* **Workforce Requirements**: All technicians shall be certified to work on and inspect commercial fire suppression systems, with the necessary qualifications and experience to perform the work safely and efficiently.
* **Risk Management**: While the CO2 fire suppression system is temporarily out of service during maintenance, the ship’s force will update the onboard firefighting doctrine to ensure that the CO2 system is not relied upon for firefighting operations during the maintenance period.
