STATEMENT OF WORK Project Title:
USCGC SYCAMORE Crane Swing Drive Encoder Service Contractor:
Appleton Marine Inc. Unit: USCGC SYCAMORE 1. Background The Appleton Crane's slew function is inoperative. Troubleshooting has identified a failure in the swing drive encoder, which is not providing the necessary 12-bit grayscale binary data output.

This project is required to replace the defective components and restore full, safe operational capability to the crane. This Statement of Work outlines the services to be provided by Appleton Marine Inc. aboard the USCGC SYCAMORE (WLB-209). The contractor will be responsible for the installation of new parts, programming, and recalibration of the crane's swing drive encoder and associated systems. 2. Contractor Responsibilities Appleton Marine Inc. will provide all necessary labor, tools, and expertise to perform the following tasks:
Installation: Install the government-furnished parts as detailed in Section 4 of this document.
