STATEMENT OF WORK

New Construction

NAVY REGION NORTH WEST, BREMERTON, WA.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND INFORMATION:

DESCRIPTION: The Utility Float is a rigid structure designed to separate hulls of nested ships or submarines, working platforms, or moorings that prevent contact of their appendages while berthing or mooring in the demanding marine environment of piers and wharves. Separators operate with a float attached or they may have a built-in buoyancy chamber for flotation. They will be outfitted with fendering materials to absorb berthing and environmental loads and conditions. Separators provide separation to ensure that overhanging and other protruding structures are clear.

Definitions. Descriptions given herein shall not be interpreted as being exhaustive of the subject and any failure of the text to mention or elaborate on specific requirements shall not relieve the Contractor of the obligation of delivering a work effort this is acceptable to the customer.

Unless otherwise stated, “as shown”, “as detailed”, or other words of similar import refer to the contractual documents including reference documents and publications.

The words “as directed”, “as approved”, or words of similar import refer to the direction, requirements, permission, approval or acceptance by the Contracting Officer.

The term “Government” means the United States Government, represented by the Contracting Officer.

Where “in accordance with Regulatory Body requirements” is stated, the industrial efforts shall be in accordance with commercial regulatory body requirements unless otherwise authorized by Contracting Officer.

The term “Customer” means Port Operations Service Craft Coordinators.

The term “marine” or “marine quality” means an item constructed of materials unaffected by moisture, sea spray extremes in temperature or other hazards of the marine environment, and is designed and constructed to perform its intended functions under marine operating conditions.

The terms “herein” means the applicable section(s) of the Specification.

For further reference Port Operations Service Craft Coordinators shall be designated as customer.

The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer with any questions pertaining to the Statement of Work (SOW) or technical specifications and drawings. Any conflicts or discrepancies with this SOW, the Utility Float technical specifications, and drawings shall be resolved in writing by the Contracting Officer in accordance with the terms and conditions, including 52.212-4(s). The customer will serve as the technical point of contact prior to proceeding with the work.

The Contracting Officer is the only authorizing person who can perform any modifications to the resulting contract, which would be in writing. Verbal instruction in conflict with this contract shall not be used unless it amounts to a clarification and both parties agree it is mutually beneficial and does not affect the contract price.

1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.

This document invokes requirements applicable to manufacture of the Utility Float listed below, both for work performed in and out of the dock, to Commercial Marine Standards. The requirements herein are part of the contract and as such, compliance is a contractual requirement. The Contractor is responsible for understanding and complying with all requirements established herein. These Specifications work with the technical drawings and other references to describe the essential features, functions and requirements of the work.

2. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS.

Length Overall: 61 FT Beam: 16 FT Height: 4 FT-6 IN Est. Weight: 18 T Draft: 1 FT Hull Material: Steel

The Utility Float shall be constructed in accordance with (IAW) NAVSEA Drawing 803-921865, and as such, will be a 61 feet long by 16 feet wide non-corrosive body assembly supported by a flotation device. The Floats are designed for extreme conditions such as the impact from berthing at high velocity and craft mooring forces from high velocity currents and winds for these conditions.

The Float must be placed to be in contact with various craft and ship’s hull. Utility Float shall conform to the below listed performance requirements. The Utility Float shall float in a horizontal orientation, in the actual position in which it is intended to be used. The Utility Float and the appendages shall be constructed in a manner and of a material which will not cause damage to the ship structures during use. Materials and construction shall be capable of withstanding typical mooring/berthing operations over at least a 35 year period, under normal use, without significant deterioration. The Utility Float shall be outfitted with lifting eyes to allow them to be lifted out of the water by a crane. Construction shall be such that overall weight of the Utility Float does not change subsequent to use; the materials will not absorb water, and standing water will drain freely from the Utility Float, thus avoiding any change in weight.

The Utility Float assembly shall be a one-piece construction. Minimum two feet free-board requirements and thereby any proposed design changes to the NAVSEA design must be demonstrated by the offeror to meet those freeboard requirements. Each Float shall contain a rubber backing where the craft comes in contact with the float.
