USCGC Stratton Shaft Alignment and Bearing Reaction Check

The U.S. Coast Guard seeks a qualified contractor to perform shaft alignment and bearing reaction verification on the USCGC Stratton. The contractor will install strain‑gage sets on both port and starboard shafts, measure vertical and horizontal loads on multiple bearings using strain‑gage and hydraulic jack/load‑cell methods, and deliver a comprehensive technical report within 15 days of work completion. The effort spans a two‑month period (Nov 1 2026 – Jan 1 2027) and requires provision of all specialty tools, calibrated instrumentation, and compliance with Joint Certification Program registration. • Measure and report vertical/horizontal loads on bull gear, intermediate, stern, and strut bearings. • Install 5 full‑bridge strain‑gage sets per shaft (total 10 sets). • Perform hydraulic jack/load‑cell measurements for line‑shaft bearings. • Provide calibrated tools and instrumentation; ensure JCP registration. • Deliver final written report (intro, references, calculations, data sheets, conclusions, recommendations) within 15 days post‑completion. • Work performed on USCGC Stratton, Coast Guard Island, Alameda, CA.
