Description
Scope of Work
USCGC MIDGETT (WMSL-757) – No. 2 SSDG InspecƟon, CondiƟon Assessment, and Parts
IdenƟficaƟon
LocaƟon:
USCGC MIDGETT (WMSL-757)
400 Sand Island Parkway
Honolulu, HI 96819
Period of Performance: Coordinate 1 day from:
21 Jul 2026- 30 Jul 2026
ObjecƟve:
Provide a Caterpillar-qualified technician to board USCGC MIDGETT and inspect the No. 2 Ship
Service Diesel Generator (SSDG) to assess its current condiƟon, determine the severity of any
deficiencies, and idenƟfy the repairs and replacement parts required.
Background:
While operaƟng No. 2 SSDG in parallel with No. 1 SSDG, ship’s force observed black lube oil on
the port side of the generator block, supports, and adjacent deck plates, and iniƟal invesƟgaƟon
idenƟfied a loose gravity drain hose from the forward crankcase vapor filter housing to the
crankcase. AŌer cleanup and inspecƟon, MCMS trends and follow-on checks of the crankcase
relief doors, valve train, crankcase vapor air-separator filters and hoses, turbochargers, and
engine rotaƟon revealed no obvious failure, and a no-load test showed -1.5 in. H2O crankcase
vacuum. When the generator was later paralleled to the bus, oil and smoke purged from the
crankcase vent doors within seconds and the dipsƟck was forced parƟally out of the sounding
tube, and although oil sampling showed 2 percent thickening with no fuel diluƟon and no
current evidence of coolant in the sump, ship’s force lacks compression test capability and will
conƟnue troubleshooƟng with focus on cylinder heads, head gaskets, and head spacers,
parƟcularly given previously elevated coolant pressure and coolant purging from the expansion
tank cap.
Scope:
The contractor shall provide all labor necessary to perform an on-site inspecƟon and technical
assessment of the vessel’s No. 2 SSDG.
Required Tasks:
Inspect the No. 2 SSDG for overall material condiƟon, operaƟonal concerns, visible
