1. SCOPE

DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT

STATEMENT OF WORK

FOR THE

RIVERINE SURFACE PATROL PLATFORM

This Statement of Work (SOW) describes the installation, integration, performance, test, delivery, and logistical support requirements for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Air and Marine Operations (AMO) Riverine Surface Patrol Platform (RSPP).

The vessel shall be designed to: conduct operations on rivers, lakes, marshlands, and inland waterways including areas of deep moving river waters, small rapids, partially exposed sand and gravel bars, and areas of extremely shallow water where other marine platforms are incapable of navigating. The safety of agents and others is of the highest priority; design and construction of the vessel(s) shall take safety into consideration at all times.

The Contractor shall have total program responsibility for ensuring that the requirements in this SOW and the RSPP Performance Specification are met. The Contractor shall provide program management, engineering, procurement, fabrication, manufacturing, installation, integration, testing, and delivery of the vessel. All standard factory equipment shall be of the manufacturer’s commercial model, unless otherwise noted, and shall be provided as specified herein.

2. BACKGROUND

For over 60 years the U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) has conducted riverine operations (patrolling, surveillance, and deterrence). The USBP conducts active riverine patrolling of border rivers, lakes, marshlands and restricted waterways serving as a deterrent to criminals and illegal entrants attempting to cross the border.

USBP is currently performing these riverine operations using a mix of riverine surface patrol platforms (airboats) obtained over time. The current fleet of 18 vessels is eclectic, aging, non-standardized, and is viewed as inadequate to meet the current and future USBP capability needs to secure the nation’s borders. USBP’s forecasted mission requirements call for a possible total fleet of 33 RSPP vessels to enable border security operations in restricted waterways along the nation’s borders. CBP intends to field the full fleet of RSPP vessels through a combination of the procurement of new vessels and the retrofit and standardization of existing legacy vessels to meet USBP mission requirements. The decision on whether to retrofit or purchase will be based up on a cost analysis performed between the Program Management Office and the National Marine Center.

Currently, USBP conducts riverine operations in restricted waterways along the Southwestern border areas. Future USBP Riverine Operations may be conducted along all portions of the Southern and Northern Border sectors that have border rivers, lakes, marshlands, and restricted waterways depending on USBP determined mission and operational risk assessments.

The Contractor shall provide to the COR and PM technical manuals and data reports in paper and an electronic copy of the Boat Information Book (BIB) with First Article vessel. 2D plans shall be provided in AutoCad and PDF formats.

The 3D model shall be provided in Rhinoceros format. The Contractor must furnish electronic copies only with follow- on vessels. The electronic format shall allow embedded text and graphics and shall be in Microsoft® Office Word format or Microsoft® Office Excel format (where applicable). COTS manuals from vendors that are not in the above format shall be an unlocked PDF file. (CDRL A015).

10.2 Technical Publications

The following Technical Publications are required to be delivered electronically and in paper copy with First Article vessel and electronic only for subsequent vessels delivered. Updates shall be electronically provided quarterly for each vessel:

a. Boat Information Book (BIB)

The BIB shall provide a complete description of the vessel's capacities and characteristics, including operating instructions for all systems, equipment, and components installed (to include wiring). The BIB shall be delivered in both paper and electronic format for the First Article, and electronic format only for subsequent vessels. The BIB will include all technical publications and manuals with the exception of COTS items. System diagrams shall be included to supplement the written descriptions. Upon approval of the Contracting Officer, system working drawings may be used in lieu of the diagrams. ABYC T-24 “Owner’s Manuals” shall be used as guidance when developing the content of the BIB.

1. Technical Manual: A technical manual shall be included in the BIB (except COTS) and shall be provided for all equipment and accessories of the vessel. It shall provide the requisite information to provide instructions to operate and maintain the equipment at the organizational level. This includes a description of system start up, operation, shutdown, safety, and emergency procedures. The manual shall also contain information concerning checkout, inspection, preventive and corrective maintenance, calibration, adjustment, troubleshooting, replacement of parts, repair, and use of tools and test equipment in accordance with the maintenance concept. At a minimum, the Technical Manual shall include:

i. General Information and Safety Precautions: An introduction to identify the equipment, equipment description, location, associated equipment, general safety instructions, and drawings or diagrams showing general arrangements.

ii. Emergency Procedures: Identify conditions requiring emergency operations and provide procedures to be followed in the event of their occurrence. “Emergency operation” is defined as operation under conditions of system malfunction or failure, such as loss of power, component failure, physical damage, or fire. Detailed step-by-step procedures for dealing with emergencies shall be provided.

iii. Troubleshooting Guide/Aid and Procedures: Identify and provide step-by-step troubleshooting procedures for determining causes of equipment/system malfunction or failure, isolating affected systems, and replacing components.

iv. System Limitations, Precautions, and Set Points: Identify all system operational limitations. State all precautions to be taken during normal operation to prevent potentially unsafe conditions. List system operation and safety set points, which represent the normal operation of the system.

10.3 Technical Manual Update Revisions

If changes to an existing technical manual affect 25 percent or more of the original pages in the manual, or if the scope of the changes are so material as to render the existing technical manual unreliable, as determined by the Government, the manual shall be revised in its entirety.

Format: A revision incorporates the basic manual, previous changes, and new data that would require the issuance of an additional change.

Preparation: Preparation shall conform to the style and format used in the basic manual.

Manual Numbering: The manual shall not be assigned a new Technical Publication Number. It will use the existing Technical Publication Number along with an “alpha” character.

Deliverables: One paper and one electronic copy of the CBP approved Technical Publication Revision shall be provided to the CBP Contracting Officer or his or her representative.

Electronic files shall be prepared as indicated at the beginning of this section. Electronic files include any source files used to produce the Technical Publication.

Data Rights: The Contractor shall provide data rights documentation that allows publication on the CBP Intranet (internal to CBP). See FAR 52.227-14, Rights in Data – General.

10.4 DRAWINGS

For the duration of the contract and for five years after the delivery of the last vessel, the Contractor shall retain all drawings for use, repair, and replacement of removable parts, modification of the vessel, and to facilitate contracted maintenance and repair as directed by the

NMC.

a. Drawing Versions

The Contractor shall provide drawings for the vessel.

Drawings shall be retained by the Contractor throughout the contract period of performance. The final drawings are the construction drawings which have been revised and updated to reflect the “as built” configuration of the vessel after acceptance by the Government at the successful conclusion of OT&E.

The Contractor shall also provide revised drawings with CBP fleet number applicability for any changes in construction or in components where the new component is not a full “form, fit, and function” replacement for the original component.

b. Required Drawings

1. Required drawings shall consist of those drawings referenced in 6.2.a “Technical Package” of this SOW.
