Specific coating preservation work could range from touch up painting on areas smaller than one square foot per work item through preservation of entire weather decks on the order of hundreds of square feet per work item. Composite component work would primarily consist of mechanical installation efforts, without hot work or electrical requirements (except for removal and installation of electrical boxes). Work is anticipated to be performed during pier-side availabilities (e.g., continuous maintenance availabilities or windows of opportunity). Larger scale efforts such as the modernization of window frames would be planned and scheduled with the contractor. New technology installations as identified would be limited to ship-by-ship demonstrations.
