STATEMENT OF WORK

1. BACKGROUND:

NOAA’s research and survey ships comprise the largest fleet of federal research ships in the nation. Ranging from large oceanographic research vessels capable of exploring the world's deepest oceans to smaller ships responsible for charting the shallow bays and inlets of the United States, the fleet supports a wide range of marine activities, including fisheries research, nautical charting, and ocean and climate studies. In addition to its ships, the NOAA Small Boat Program manages a fleet of more than 400 small boats that perform various data collection missions for NOAA throughout the United States and its territories, including hydrographic surveys, fishing, diving, scientific instrument deployment/recovery, water and air quality monitoring, law enforcement, and marine mammal surveys. Vessels vary in size from a simple 10-ft. kayak to a complex 85-ft.

research vessel. The majority of small boats fall within the range of 16-26 feet in length and operate in near-shore environments, but extended missions in deep water environments are common among the larger vessels.

2. SCOPE

2.1.This specification contains the general requirements for work performed by the Small

Boats Repair Contractor (Contractor) for one of the Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) small boats. These general requirements apply to all work items contained in this work package, including but not limited to the service that is listed.

2.2.There is one (1) small boat covered under this Scope of Work, with the following particulars:

2.2.1. 2701, a.k.a. RA-2 – 27 foot North River Boat foam collared survey boat, manufactured in 2014, 7500 lb Displacement, Hull Number NRB25120B313, Aluminum Hull, Yanmar 350 HP 8LV350c engine, S/N# 862, Hamilton Jet Drive J241.

2.3.During initial repairs and inspection, the boat was discovered to have a heavily corroded exhaust, leading to leaks. The degree of the corrosion has led to the twin turbocharger no longer being able to connect to any piping or hoses, and both the exhaust and turbo assemblies need to be replaced for continued operation.

3. Period Of Performance

3.1. Requested start date of 09/15/2025 with completion of work no later than

10/31/2025.

4. Place Of Performance

4.1.The boat is currently at Schooner Creek Boat Works undergoing repairs and inspections.

4.1.1.Schooner Creek Boat Works 3255 N Hayden Island Drive Portland, OR 97217

4.1.2.The boat is currently hauled out on its trailer with its trailer.

4.2.The boat is able to be transported to the vendors work location should that facilitate on time completion of the work package.

7.4.Interferences and Restorations

7.4.1.Remove all interferences and obstructions necessary to complete the required work. This shall include the disassembly and removal of machinery, piping, ducts, cable, wiring, insulation, structures, and anything else that interferes with the proper accomplishment of work. Except as otherwise specified, this does not include relocations made necessary by new installations that physically prevent interference from being returned to its existing location.

7.4.2.Restore all interferences to their existing configuration and condition. Install new gaskets and fasteners. In place of material that is rendered unsuitable for reinstallation during removal or storage, provide and install new materials that are equal in composition, strength, design, type, and size as they existed prior to removal. All insulation removed or damaged shall be replaced with new insulation.

7.4.3.Align and conduct strength, tightness, and operational tests to ensure that the reinstalled interferences safely perform their normal functions.
