STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

1. Background

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) vessel R/V Parke Snavely, a 2008 Armstrong 34' aluminum catamaran, requires hull plating repairs due to corrosion and pitting concentrated primarily in the starboard engine bay and adjacent forward compartment. Corrosion resulted from epoxy coating failure, which trapped salts between the coating and the aluminum plating. The port engine bay exhibits limited pitting, and the transom shows no signs of damage. The vessel is currently on the hard in Santa Cruz, CA, with trailer repairs ongoing, limiting mobility for offsite work. Timely repairs are essential to restore the hull’s structural integrity and return the vessel to safe operational status in support of USGS coastal and offshore research operations.

2. Scope of Work

The Contractor shall provide all labor, supervision, materials, tools, equipment, transportation, and incidentals required to complete the hull plating repairs. All work must follow aluminum vessel repair best practices and the procedures detailed in this SOW. No repairs outside this

SOW may be carried out without written authorization from the Contracting Officer.

3. Required Tasks

A. Removal of Corroded Plating The Contractor shall remove corroded or pitted hull sections located in the main engine bays and forward starboard compartment. This includes four 52-inch by 8-inch panels and four 26-inch by 8-inch panels, totaling approximately 17.3 square feet.

B. Installation of New Aluminum Plating Replacement plating shall be fabricated from 5086 aluminum. Replacement plating shall match the thickness of the existing original hull plating unless otherwise approved in writing by the Contracting Officer.

Plates shall be beveled, tacked flush, and full-penetration welded using appropriate alloy wire and shielding gas. To minimize heat-related distortion, only one linear section shall be replaced at a time.

C. Inspection & Documentation The Contractor shall inspect adjacent hull areas for corrosion, document repairs, maintain photographic evidence of removed and replaced sections, and compile an itemized materials and work summary. Additional repairs discovered must be documented and submitted for review before proceeding.

4. Materials and Replacement Parts

All new materials must be marine-grade and suitable for aluminum‑hulled vessels. OEM-equivalent materials must be used unless alternatives receive prior approval. Removed materials shall be retained until final acceptance.

5. Deliverables

The Contractor shall provide a final repair report, photographs, and warranty documentation.

6. Inspection and Acceptance

Government inspection and acceptance will occur after all repairs and documentation are complete and satisfactory.

7. Schedule

Within period of performance.

8. Warranty

The Contractor shall provide a standard commercial warranty for all materials and workmanship.

9. Place of Performance

All work shall be performed on-site in Santa Cruz, California at the USGS Marine Facility yard.
