2. Background. This requirement is for the contractor to provide a certified Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) technician to perform field troubleshooting on governor control components for the Main Gas Turbine, products of Woodward. When approaching 3600 RPM on the N3 rotor, the turbine controls perform an emergency stop due to a Fuel Driver Fault. The ship’s technicians performed extensive field troubleshooting to attempt resolution of system issues with negative results. The ship technicians replaced the digital valve positioner and LQ-25 with on-board spares. With remote guidance from Woodward technicians, the crew attempted initial set up and configurations, but system remains inoperable due to unfamiliarity with equipment specifics, i.e. diagnostic software used to program components, verifying installation and calibration set up, etc.

1. Tasks. The contractor shall provide labor services and technical expertise for the Woodward LQ25 Valve Actuator, which includes but may not limited to:
   1. Coordinate field visit and base access with provided points of contact for an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) certified technical representative. Services must be conducted in the presence of designated USCG personnel.
   2. Conduct an initial and final operational test of equipment. USCG personnel will operate all shipboard machinery and equipment. USCG personnel will secure and tag applicable equipment prior to the start of any work. If unable to perform an initial operational test due to equipment issues, the requirement may be waived only by the USCG Technical Points of Contact listed in this SOW. The final operational test must be performed to demonstrate satisfactory operation of equipment and resolution of issues.
      1. Observe safety precautions when working with electrical and electronic equipment. Failure to comply exposes personnel to the danger of electrical shock and personal injury.
   3. In accordance with applicable references, the contractor shall groom the Woodward components to identify and correct issues with the equipment for #2 Main Gas Turbine.
      1. Any additional material and labor (and associated costs) outside the scope of the field visit, or above the not to exceed price, must receive approval from a warranted Contracting Officer (KO) prior to proceeding. The contractor shall submit a Condition Found Report.
   4. Provide an invoice and trip report including at least the following: service dates and location, issue description with any errors/symptoms, troubleshooting steps, findings, resolution, and recommendations (if any). If parts are needed for additional work, the contractor must provide part number, the quantity needed, price per unit, lead time, and potential source(s) with contact information.
