PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

1.0 BACKGROUND

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS), West Coast Regional Office (WCRO) in Monterey, California requires the replacement and upgrade of the existing radars, associated equipment and underway navigation system of the 67’ R/V Fulmar located in Monterey, CA,

2.0 SCOPE

Furnish all labor, equipment, parts, cables and other materials to remove and replace the existing navigation radars and associated helm displays, existing satellite phone and existing VHF radios and AIS antennas. Add satellite compass. Provide power and integrate all electronics. Add a secondary, redundant GPS feed. Fabricate new helm dashboard with recessed navigation displays to match existing dashboard. All fasteners shall be stainless steel and the use of dissimilar metals shall be avoided unless separated by nylon washers. All connectors and connections shall be appropriate for service in the harsh marine environment. All cable penetrations shall be filled with USCG approved water-tight sealant.

All work to be conducted to meet the following standards:

• US Coast Guard with 46 CFR Subchapter T – Small Passenger Vessels (Under 100 Gross Tons)

• American Boating and Yachting Council (ABYC)

• National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA)

• American Welders Society Standards

• Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 0400 and 45-2002 Standards

All work shall be conducted at the vessel’s homeport dock at the USCG Breakwater in coordination with the COR and not to delay the vessel’s operational schedule. Partial work may be conducted between scheduled research missions (i.e., removing or running new cables, pre-staging equipment) on a not to interfere basis with planned research missions in coordination with the COR.

It is strongly recommended that all potential Contractors conduct a site visit prior to bid.

3.0 DELIVERABLES
