Statement of Work – Annual Shipyard Services NOAA Research Vessel SHEARWATER

REVISED 9-10-24

A] GENERAL INFORMATION:

1] This Statement of Work contains the requirements for shipyard services on the NOAA Research Vessel Shearwater (R6201).

2] The general characteristics of the vessel are as follows:

Length: 62 feet Beam: 24 feet Draft: 6 feet Displacement: 41.3 tons

3] All work is to be accomplished at the Contractor’s facility. NOAA will deliver the vessel to the Contractor’s facility, and redelivery will also be at the Contractor’s facility. The required performance period for all work defined herein is: December 16, 2024 to April 30, 2025.

All work must be accomplished no later than April 30, 2025, in order to conduct research and education missions in the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary.

4] Coordination of the work schedules will be the responsibility of the Contractor to avoid any delays or disruptions in order to meet the performance period. The Contractor will provide all facilities, labor, materials, tools, and services required to complete the work.

5] Upon arrival at the Contractor’s facility the contractor shall accept full responsibility for the safety of the vessel, including fire protection, security patrols, water-tight integrity, protection from adverse environmental conditions, etc. This responsibility will terminate only after all work defined herein is complete, accepted by NOAA, and NOAA personnel remove the vessel from the Contractor’s facility.

6] NOAA employees and contractors may be working on board the vessel during the performance period on a not to interfere basis. These personnel will be provided access to the vessel during normal working hours.

7] If the vessel is hauled from the water, the Contractor shall ensure that all machinery and equipment used for that purpose is fully functional, suitable for the task, rated for loads at least 20% greater than the maximum weight of the vessel, and operated by trained personnel. The NOAA Government Contact Point (TPOC) will provide a docking plan for the vessel if requested.

8] The government reserves the right to award some or all tasks.

9] All work performed under this SOW shall meet or exceed all current requirements of ABYC and USCG (Subchapter T) as applicable to this size and type of vessel, in addition to any specific requirements stated below.

10] In the event defects or damage unrelated to the work tasks defined below are discovered, the Contractor shall submit a Condition Found Report (CFR) to the TPOC identified below. The CFR will define corrective actions needed, the cost for that work (separated into labor, materials, services, and total), and the impact to the performance period.

11] Any welding required will be performed by certified welders working in accordance with approved weld procedures. Certifications and approvals by USCG, ABS, or another nationally recognized authority are acceptable, and copies of these will be presented to the TPOC before work begins.

12] A site visit prior to bidding is strongly recommended. Quoters are encouraged to inspect the vessel and understand all conditions that may affect project cost. In no event will a failure to adequately inspect the vessel constitute grounds for cost escalation after award. The address for the site visit is 132A Harbor Way, Santa Barbara, CA 93109.

B] SPECIFIC WORK TASKS - DOCKSIDE

B1] Service generators (2) The contractor shall perform the following service work on both generators installed in the vessel. Port generator is Northern Lights M753W.3, and starboard generator is Northern Lights M844LW3.3G:

a) Check valve clearances

b) Check injectors

Upon re-launching of the vessel, conduct dock trials and sea trials to demonstrate proper operation of both generators and related systems. Provide a written report describing all work completed.

B2] Service P&S main engines The contractor shall perform the following preventative maintenance and service on the port and starboard John Deere 6135SFM85-M4 engines. Engine will have ~1000 hours of service logged.

a) Inspect and clean heat exchanger core

b) Inspect and clean aftercooler core

c) Check and adjust engine speeds

Provide a written report describing all work performed. Upon completion conduct dock trials and sea trials to demonstrate proper operation of the engines and related systems.

C] SPECIFIC WORK TASKS - HAUL OUT

C1] Haul, clean, block, store, and launch Remove the vessel from the water. Pressure-wash the entire hull from sheer line to keel, removing all dirt, grime, and marine growth. Clean all surfaces within the tunnel. Similarly, clean all fittings below waterline, including propulsor components, struts, stern tubes, rudders, foils, fins, through-hulls, etc. Clean transducers with a non-metallic brush, taking care to not mar the emitting surface in any way. Clean all surfaces of all anodes with a wire brush unless they are to be replaced.

Block the vessel in a level altitude with the keel (or keels) 36” minimum off the ground. Inspect the hull, coatings, and all attachments and report any damage or discrepancies to the TPOC staff in writing. Provide electrical power to the vessel suitable for its shore power system.

Upon completion of all work done on the hard, launch the vessel, inspect all compartments for leaks, and secure it dockside. If dockside testing or underway trials are required after launch, provide advance notification so the TPOC can attend.

C2] Recoat Propulsors with prop-speed The contractor shall renew the Prop-speed coating on the propellers, shafts, and other items of running gear that are currently coated with this material. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for preparation and application. Upon completion, schedule an inspection of the coating system by the TPOC.

C3] Inspect through-hulls, seacocks, transducers All through-hulls aboard ship will be inspected to ensure they are in good condition. The contractor shall open, actuate, and visually inspect all seacocks in the hull bottom and topsides. A written report shall be submitted to the TPOC detailing the location and condition of seacocks.

C4] Pressure test foils, strakes, and guards After the vessel is hauled and washed, and after the surfaces are dry, but before the application of new coatings, inspect the foils, strakes, and guards for evidence of leaks. Report any leaks found to the TPOC in writing. Remove the test plugs from each of these items and pressure test to 3.0 PSI and inspect for visible leaks. Hold pressure for ten (10) minutes and determine if pressure has been lost. If pressure is lost, locate non-visible leaks by soapy film test or other means. Repair leaks and repeat testing until no additional leaks are found. Reinstall test plugs using suitable marine grade pipe thread sealant.

D] IT SECURITY REQUIREMENTS

The Certification and Accreditation (C&A) requirements of 48 CFR 1352.239-73 do not apply, and a Security Accreditation Package is not required. The contractor will not have access to any government owned IT equipment or be furnished government privileged information. However, the contractor will have full access to the vessel and all of its systems.

E] AWARD BASIS

This will be a low price technically acceptable evaluation. The Contractor shall demonstrate past performance in working with aluminum high speed catamaran vessels including aluminum welding.

F] LOCATION

The vessel is to be transported at sea by the Government to and from the repair facility. The Contractor’s facility shall be within 50 miles of the vessel’s home port in Santa Barbara, CA.
