The document outlines responses to questions regarding the CGC NORTHLAND MAIN DIESEL ENGINE RENEWAL FY26 project (SOLICITATION 70Z08026QMECP0006 AMENDMENT 2). Key points include confirmation that 24/7 work is permitted with personnel living onboard. The contractor (KTR) is responsible for hotel services but not crew meals. The engine replacement is due to crankshaft thrust and block measurements being out of spec, not a catastrophic failure. There is no existing plan for in-water engine removal. Specific engine testing requirements involve Fairbanks Morse Defense Alco 251 Engine Break-In Procedures. Soft parts (gaskets and seals) are mostly included in the Government Furnished Property (GFP) list, with additional needs provided by the Coast Guard or via Contractor Furnished Repair (CFR). Dowels can be procured by the CG or via CFR, and clarification is requested for fitted bolts as the Alco 251 uses an oil catcher, not a rear seal. The pier has a 60,000 psf point load limit, requiring DICA pads for outrigger bearing, and the USCG will confirm parts availability.

The document, Amendment 4 to Solicitation 70Z08026QMECP0006, addresses questions and answers regarding the CGC NORTHLAND MAIN DIESEL ENGINE RENEWAL FY26 project. Key points clarify contractor responsibilities for providing service hook-ups, removing interferences, and submitting a preliminary work plan for engine removal. The Coast Guard confirms the quay wall at Base Portsmouth is unavailable for mooring and that they will provide all Government Furnished Property (GFP) on hand, including the correct 18-cylinder engine block. They also specify that OEM is to follow MI-11000F for engine testing and that all GFP will be quality assured by Coast Guard personnel. Additionally, the scope of work includes the removal, cleaning, inspection, servicing, and re-qualification of all components with the exception of provided GFP.

The document addresses contractor questions regarding the CGC NORTHLAND Main Diesel Engine Renewal project (SOLICITATION 70Z08026QMECP0006), which involves replacing main diesel engines with the vessel pier-side at CG Base Portsmouth. Contractors inquired about the availability of the Coast Guard Yard's (CGY) detailed engine removal plan. The Coast Guard stated that the CGY's plan, developed for dry dock operations, is not applicable to this pier-side scope of work, and contractors are expected to propose their own removal approaches. The solicitation explicitly requires a preliminary work plan outlining the proposed equipment removal route, interferences, and temporary cut locations. Additionally, the Coast Guard clarified that it does not possess a written procedure for this specific task, as it is a first-time undertaking, and it does not own the Alco Engine lifting rig or cradle stand; these tools belong to Fairbanks Morse Defense (FMD).
