However, (G)-Point notification requirements shall not be delegated.

16 (product model) Over the last 10 years has GROWN to drive the cost of Preservation to its current level. A result of adding requirements without measuring the cost or risk vs. reward. What did you get for your dollar? NSRP your Industry Partner, Public Yards, NAVSEA 05P23 - Mark Ingle and Mega Rust are working together to reverse the effect of not having a PROCESS in place to make a business decision in preservation. The collaborative effort of NSRP SP-3, NAVSEA 05P23, CWP & Mega Rust Working Groups are an example of making an informed Business decision to reduce cost. It is the example of exactly what needs to happen to all SSRAC Standard Items working groups.

17 NSRP SP-3 Panel Feb Chair and Vice Chair met with Adm. McCoy at NAVSEA Action: Focus on the Cost Drivers in Preservation. He asked us to make sure we were collaborating with the Public yards and Mega Rust working groups for solutions Mar 2008 panel meeting - workshop to develop SSRAC proposals for revisions to Navy Standard Item Public Yards, RMC s, Mega Rust, Surf Prep Panel Jun 2008 panel meeting- review of current issues being worked by the various Navy groups Performed gap analysis to identify topics which would make good NSRP Panel Projects Public Yards, RMC s, Mega Rust, Surf Prep Panel Jun 2008 review Naval Vessel Rules Part 8, Chapter 4 (NAVSEA Standard Item ), Coatings And Corrosion Control Completed a Whitepaper at ATI s request discussing the benefits of having one governing document for Navy paint.

18 SP-3 Panel CONTINUED Jul 2008 Admiral McCoy directs Public yards to use SI as paint requirements document Jul presented Panel proposals to SSRAC Aug presented NSRP Surf Prep Panel activities at MEGA RUST Action considered complete; engagement will continue Aug 2008 ATI awarded contract to fast-track Single Coat use in private shipyards at Admiral McManamon s request Oct 2008 joint panel meeting with SP-1, Environmental Nov 2008 completed project to Fast Track Single Coat use in private shipyards Completed in under 3 months Private shipyards continue to adopt technology

19 SP-3 Panel CONTINUED March joint meeting with NACE and MEGA RUST mid year update developed SSRAC proposals June 2009-Delivered Final Report: How to Inspect Flash Rust Manual June joint meeting with MEGA RUST: NSRP/Public Yards/NSTC. Very productive, focus on cost drivers: SSRAC proposals, Paperless Paint, & Flash Rust. The Collaborative Effort is producing results. July SSRAC, 27 proposals submitted by SP-3. Private and Public Yards are working with one document and a common goal to remove waste, reduce cost and maintain quality in preservation. Sept Delivered Final Report: Reduced RH requirements Sept Delivered Final Report: Flash Rust Phase Two (final)

22 Summary SSRAC is a very good and valuable process. Provides and annual review and updating of the NAVSEA Standard Items. Provides a forum for discussion and debate wrt the technical adequacy of the Standard Items.

23 However, the SSRAC process does not require vetting of independent estimates of the cost of proposed changes. No formal process or requirement for a class C, class F or Government estimate. No formal process such as scoping conference, TAR or other comparison prior to incorporating the change. Executive Steering Committee final say in changes 10 members 7 Engineers 1 Legal Counsel 1 Coordinator 1 Contracts ( Added this year )

24 Technical people making technical and business decisions Decisions to modify the NAVSEA Standard Items which Automatically get incorporated into future contracts should be a joint Technical and Business decision. The SSRAC process has continually increased the cost of standard processes over the years. The process could just as easily be used to effectively ratchet down the cost of standard processes with some relatively minor improvements.

25 Recommendations SSRAC NAVSEA Standard Item change process should be modified to provide true cost vetting by both government & commercial parties to ensure cost savings are accurately reflected and hidden costs are exposed Task NSRP ( Joint Government and Industry forum ) to develop a standard format to provide Government and Industry estimates and a process to vett the differences.

26 Recommendations - continued The NSRP Tasking should include the development of standard assumptions that Government and Contractor estimators could use for cost analysis. Such as, but not limited to; Labor Rate Various Availability sizes # of Availabilities per year # of Ship Repair Contractors Etc.

35 Proposal # SSRAC NSRP Description Action Taken Proposals which were substantially accepted 84 Most NAVSEA approved ASTM 718's allow storage temperature of 40 to & 16 degrees Fahrenheit - revise accordingly Clarify QA checkpoints for items that are powder coated. Terminology for paint/nonskid/coating should be standardized with terminology. Terminology for paint/nonskid/coating should be standardized with terminology. Identify sumps as part of the RAST track trough and surface ship bilges. Submittal of CAPS sheets is not needed when using CQATK. Submittal requirement for CAPSHEET is non-value added and causing delay and disruption and cost/schedule impact. Delete paragraph in its entirety. Amount of profiles to be taken when over 1,000 and under 2,000. How many need to be taken for less than an additional 1,000? Change to read one reading per additional 500 sq. ft or less. All three paragraphs specify additional readings required "for each additional 1,000 square feet." Add "or increment thereof" consistent with language in SSPC PA-2. Give direction for conductivity/chlorides to be taken when over 1,000 and under 2,000 sq ft. Stripe coat listed under one coat system, Attachment A. Change second sentence of to read, "Unless otherwise stated in tables and lines, this excludes any stripe coats." With single coat, rapid cure coating system, DFT's may be taken IAW Attachment A in lieu of the application of a stripe coat. This direction is provided in the Tables and should be indicated. Allow 85 percent relative humidity during touch-up. Clarify the extent of cure which must be carried out at 50 percent relative humidity. Allow 85 percent relative humidity for small tanks and voids. Modify to allow 85 percent relative humidity for shop work. Add dirty drain collecting tanks to line. Modify requirements for fuel oil service/storage tanks for consistency with 15 CCAM. Change to read, "Data logger shall collect data at a minimum of every four 8 & 17 hours" vice every five minutes. Allow contractors to add a salt remover to potable water at the water wash 22 step, in lieu of repeated water washes to remove chlorides. Adopted as modified to allow storage temperature of 50 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. See SSRAC #085. Paint vendors agree there is a cost savings.

37 NAVSEAINST D is the SSRAC "Charter" which states with regard to the Steering Committee, "The two main functions of the Steering Committee are to act on recommendations received from subcommittees (final point in the decision making/approval process) and to handle issues that cannot be resolved by subcommittees or issues that may be beyond the scope of any one subcommittee." As for the SSRAC subcommittees, the Charter states, "Subcommittees review proposals on issues relating to their technical/trade specialties and provide recommendations to the Steering Committee with supporting rationale. In general, the NAVSEA Technical Warrant Holder for a specific warranted area will be a member of the corresponding Technical Subcommittee."
