SOW Statement of Work

STATEMENT OF WORK

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) NOAA Fisheries

Alaska Fisheries Science Center Research and Survey Vessel Storage and Logistics Support Services in Alaska

PURPOSE: To obtain storage and dockside vessel support services for scientific surveys and research cruises in Dutch Harbor, Alaska for the RACE, ABL, and MML divisions of the Alaska Fisheries Science Center.

SCOPE OR MISSION: The scope of this contract is to provide temporary storage and transportation service in Dutch Harbor, Alaska to efficiently and effectively maintain temporary inventories of survey supplies and equipment and providing those supplies and equipment needed to carry-out vessel-based surveys, as well as coordinating the staging/loading/off-loading of survey vessels. Successful launch and completion of most of the planned surveys is dependent upon a local facility to allow the scheduling of the shipment of those supplies and equipment.

BACKGROUND: The Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC) is responsible for providing reliable stock assessment information for commercial fish and invertebrates within the U.S. territorial waters and Exclusive Economic Zone in Alaska and for conducting research to help better understand the biology, life history, abundance, and distribution of these species. Dutch Harbor, Alaska is an important fishing port for fishing operations in Alaska, and is a key base of operations for the multitude of survey and research efforts supported by the AFSC and its partners. The AFSC deploys a number of large-scale chartered and NOAA vessel operations in support of fisheries, marine mammal and oceanographic research in areas ranging from the Gulf of Alaska to the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands, and points north (example: Beaufort and Chukchi Seas). Many of the AFSC’s survey and research efforts begin in Dutch Harbor due to its central location and proximity of Dutch Harbor to the Bering Sea, Gulf of Alaska and Aleutian Islands, and the services that have been developed to support the fishing industry including frequent air service makes this an ideal port to provide services to support these disparate survey and research efforts. No other port within hundreds of miles can match the facilities and services offered in Dutch Harbor.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: The offeror shall provide dock space, stevedoring, storage, crane and forklift services, and transport in support of survey and research vessels. Vendor to provide recurring storage and transportation services in Dutch Harbor as needed in support of AFSC research or survey operations, specifically:

1. Temporary Inside dry storage, use of entire 1080 square feet warehouse to NOAA AFSC only.

2. Temporary Outside storage of 700 square feet for equipment, fishing gear, and supplies not requiring dry storage, including the temporary placement of containers and the storage of trawl nets and doors.

3. Temporary product or specimen freezer storage equivalent in size and capabilities of a standard chest freezer.

4. Forklift and driver services to operate any forklifts or larger vehicles needed to move fishing and survey gear including nets, doors, survey gear, and other equipment.

5. Crane services including crane operator

6. Crane operators and forklift drivers shall have the necessary licenses and/or certifications.

7. Vessel Moorage for Government and chartered vessels up to 185 feet

8. Dockside services provided upon request: fresh water, garbage, and provisioning

9. Transportation services (related to Task 4) for when vehicles larger than a forklift (front-end loader or a flatbed) may be necessary to move larger pieces of gear (fishing nets, doors, etc.). Gear will generally be moved between shipping containers, survey vessels, and storage areas.

10. Disposal of crab pots

Vendor must be able to also provide the following other facility requirements:

· Ramps allowing forklifts to offload of containers up to 40 feet in length

· Services available 7 days a week for the majority of the day, if not 24/7.

· A secure facility so as to ensure only the contractor’s staff and NOAA staff have access to the equipment.

At this time, AFSC RACE, ABL, and MML divisions have an existing need for recurring storage for inside and outside space which is utilized on a monthly basis and is price based on square footage of space utilized. It is anticipated that AFSC will require the 1080 square feet of indoor storage space during this period. It is anticipated that AFSC will require 700 square feet of outdoor storage for both the temporary placement of containers and the storage of fishing equipment including trawl nets and doors.

At this time, AFSC RACE, ABL, and MML divisions believe, based on historical use, that it will require other dockside services on an as-needed basis. These services are often times known in advance, based on vessel and equipment, however, there are circumstances when needs are not known in advance.

Even when needed services are known in advance of arriving in Dutch Harbor, the time it takes to perform the various services is not known. Therefore it is in the government’s best interest to include time and materials line items with a not-to-exceed dollar value which is based on historical values as well. These specific NTE CLINS are to cover costs for dockside services such as crane operator, forklift use and driver and other items noted under Task Requirements. Pricing for services will be firm fixed-price for the base and all option years.

IT Requirements:

This order will not require assignment of a user account and access to the DOC data systems. This contractor will not have access to and use Government hardware, application software, system software or sensitive data. This service will not be performed on federal government property. IT security consideration and controls will be put in place before commencement of service.

Insurance Coverage:

The contractor will be responsible for providing their own workman's compensation and health insurance. The government will not be responsible for providing insurance. The contractor must show proof of workman's compensation insurance if requested by either TPOC, or Contracting Officer. If the contractor will be performing work on a vessel or in the field or field camp, the government takes no responsibility in event of injury. If the contractor has not obtained workman's compensation insurance, the government takes no responsibility in event of injury. This is solely the responsibility of the

Contractor.
