6. Shop Equipment - Perform a joint inventory and  inspection  of  all  ALFA  company  shop  equipment, noting  conditions  and  deficiencies. 7.  Preventive  Maintenance  -  Perform  a  joint  PM inspection to a “B” PM level on each nonpreserved item of  USN-numbered  equipment  using  the  evaluation inspection  guide,  figure  5-9.  Do  all  repairs  with zero/minimum deferred work depending upon repair parts availability. Identify major body and paint work on  EROs.  Defer  this  work  during  the  BEEP.  The maintenance supervisors submit a signed, condition- coded equipment BEEP sheet to the COM2NDNCB or COM3RDNCB  equipment  representative  for  each  piece of  equipment. 8.  Stored  Equipment  -  Perform  a  joint  visual inspection   of   each   preserved   item   of   assigned USN-numbered   equipment,   using   the   equipment evaluation  inspection  guide,  figure  5-9.  Do  not depreserve  equipment  for  testing  unless  visual inspection  shows  major  discrepancies.  The  maintenance supervisors   submit   a   signed,   condition-coded equipment BEEP sheet to the COM2NDNCB or COM- 3RDNCB equipment representative for each piece of equipment. 9. Equipment Attachment Repairs - Perform a joint PM inspection of all equipment attachments, using the attachment evacuation inspection guide, figure 5-10. Both maintenance supervisors determine jointly that all possible repairs dependent upon work force, space, and repair parts available have been done. The maintenance supervisors  submit  a  signed  condition-coded  equipment BEEP sheet to the COM2NDNCB or COM3RDNCB equipment  representative. 10.  Repair  Parts  -  The  repair  parts  portion  of  the BEEP  is  done  according  to  COM2NDNCB/COM- 3RDNCBINST  4400.3,  Seabee  Supply  Manual. 11.  Tools  -  After  all  the  equipment  has  been through  the  shops  and  repairs  are  completed,  do  a  joint tool inventory. All table of allowance (TOA) tool kits must be 100-percent complete or each of the missing kit items  must  be  on  order.  Those  tools  that  are  not physically present in the kit boxes should have been ordered and a copy of the NAVSUP form 1250-1 placed in both the master folder and the appropriate field folder. The 1250-1 form has the requisition numbers and the date  when  a  specific  tool  was  placed  on  order.  In addition  to  the  master  and  field  folder  documentation the tool inventory sheets should have the requisition numbers  entered  next  to  the  item  ordered.  All requisitions initiated by the battalion being relieved should be reviewed by both groups to verify the status of  tools  already  ordered.  Outstanding  requisitions,  over 90 days old, should be suspected as having been shipped but  not  received.  These  requisitions  should  be  reviewed by  supply  to  determine  their  actual  status  before initiating a reorder. Power tools must be tested and have the proper safety  color  code  for  the  period  of  use  (the  first  period after turnover). All deadlined power tools should have repair parts on order. Again, when parts have been on order  for  over  90  days  without  good  status  information, you  should  consider  the  requisition  questionable  and initiate a reorder. TOOL  MANAGEMENT After the turnover is complete and the main body has arrived, it is time to start your project. You will not only  need  materials,  you  will  also  need  tools.  Tools  in sufficient quantity and suitable condition are essential to  the  accomplishment  of  the  battalion’s  mission.  The crew leader must be aware of the responsibilities in the area  of  tool  management. CENTRAL  TOOL  ROOM  (CTR) CTR manages that portion of the TOA that includes hand and power tools, tradesman’s tool kits, and other special  tools.  These  assets  require  strict  inventory management,  maintenance  of  separate  records  for individual  items,  scheduled  physical  inventories,  and scheduled  PM.  Since  tools  are  valuable  and  highly susceptible  to  theft,  tight  security  measures  and accountability  procedures  are  required. Battalion Tool Allowance The  Table  of  Allowance  (TA-01)  is  the  primary allowance list for authorized tools. Group numbers within the TOA with a fourth digit of 1 or 2 are CTR items. An alpha listing of TOA tools should be available to  all  CTR  patrons.  The  TA-01  allowance  must  be maintained at 100 percent at all times. The   BM   will   provide   you   procurement authorization  for  specific  non-TOA  project  tools  if  any are  required.  Letters  and  messages  may  further authorize augment and other non-TOA tools. 5-25
