C-1.1.1.3. Directives The contractor shall comply with the COMSCINST 3121.9 (series), The U.S. Navy’s Military Sealift Command Standard Operating Manual (SOM) and directives referenced in this contract. In cases where the SOM, directives, and this Contract conflict, the contractor shall notify the COR, and the Operational Commander immediately.

Operational Control (OPCON) Operational control of the ships covered under this contract is normally exercised by a designated operational commander who may or may not be the cognizant MSC Area Commander. The contractor shall comply with Operational Commander's and MSC Area Commander’s operational control direction.

If there is a conflict between the Operational Commander and the MSC Area Commander then the contractor shall follow the direction of the Operational Commander. In exercising command authority commanders are not authorized to make changes to the scope of the contract. If compliance will result in expenses that will exceed available funding obligated to the contract, then the Contractor shall obtain preapproval IAW section G-7, prior to incurring the expense.

The contractor shall comply with all anti-terrorism/force protection (AT/FP) and other security requirements for the ships while at sea and in port that the Operational Commander requires MSC ships follow. Expenses incurred in performance of meeting AT/FP and other security requirements will be reimbursable when the contractor obtains contracting officer approval prior to incurring the expense. If a situation arises which prevents the operator from complying with mission tasking, the contractor shall immediately notify the Operational Commander and provide an information copy to COMSC and the cognizant MSC Area Commander.

The Operational Commander or Area Commander will obtain clearances to call at foreign ports for each ship. Each operational mission will be the subject of a classified Operational Order (OPORD) or Sailing Order (SAILORD) that specifies exactly how the mission will be accomplished. The contractor shall comply with all direction and instructions in OPORDs. The Master is authorized to make minor deviations from sailing orders to meet mission requirements, provided the Master immediately notifies all commands within the operational chain of command of the deviation.

The contractor shall immediately report any delay of any ship and/or diversions from operations to the Operational Commander.

C-1.1.2.1. Tactical Control (TACON) OPCON authority includes TACON, which is the detailed and local direction and control of ship movements necessary to accomplish the missions and is normally delegated to the cognizant MSC Area Commander or office by the Operational Commander. The command exercising TACON will issue sail orders IAW the established ship schedules. The contractor shall comply with all sail orders. However, the Master is authorized to make minor deviations from sailing orders to meet mission requirements, provided the Master immediately notifies all commands within the operational chain of command of the deviation.

C-1.1.2.2. Administrative Control (ADCON) Administrative control of the ship will be exercised by the Program Management (PM) Office, Military Sealift Command Headquarters (MSC HQ).

Area of Operations The contractor shall plan to operate the ships worldwide. At time of solicitation issuance the ships are under construction. Anticipated delivery dates are noted in C-1.1.2.1. but subject to change. Initial operation plans are noted in C-1.1.4.1. Both the ship and equipment are designed for extended, independent underway operations in remote geographic areas. Therefore, self-sufficiency in operations and maintenance is an important mission objective.

C-1.1.3.1. Vessel Operating Areas These vessels will operate worldwide. For planning purposes and without guarantee, following delivery, PDT&T, and PSA, the Government anticipates operating one vessel in the Far East, three vessels in Eastern Pacific (two off of US West Coast and one out of Hawaii), one vessel in the Middle East (hubbed in Bahrain), and three vessels the Atlantic (off of US East Coast). Deviations from projected ship operational locations shall not be the basis for adjustment to the Contract price.

Concept of Operations:

At commencement of Contract performance and throughout the performance period of this contract, it is anticipated all of the ships will be operated as indicated in C-1.1.4.2. However, the Government may direct ships to be placed into a Full Operating Status (FOS), Reduced Operating Status (ROS), Repair Availability Status (RAV) at any time and offerors shall account for this risk in their pricing.

C-1.1.3.2. Operating Tempo (OPTEMPO) Normal OPTEMPO for each ship in FOS is based on its geographic location. The below percentages do not include vessels transits to/from CONUS to deploy or conduct maintenance:

Underway DP/Loitering 65% Underway Transit Speed (~ 12 kts) 15%

In Port On generator 5% In Port On shore power 15%

Actual OPTEMPO may vary for any of the ships. The vessels shall be capable of deployment to worldwide locations within 24 hours of notification by the Operational Commander designated by the U.S. Navy.

Underway periods shall consist of independent steaming, towing / salvage / diving operations, convoy operations, transit to/from selected locations and ports for vessel operations, maintenance, bunkering, or for salvage equipment discharging/loading operations.

C-1.1.3.3. General Operations The contractor shall ensure that the ship(s) and all equipment, systems, and appurtenances are continuously maintained in good working order and repair regardless of the frequency or importance of use.

In case of emergency, nothing in this Contract shall be construed as preventing the Master from taking the most effective action to safeguard life, property and the ship. The Master will have authority to abort operations temporarily on the basis of clear and present danger to life at sea, and shall inform the OPCON with an information copy to COMSC and the cognizant MSC Area Commander. The Master shall provide a written report of the action taken, rationale, and recommendations as soon as possible. Under normal operating conditions the Master shall not take any mission-aborting action without the prior approval of the OPCON.

C-1.1.3.3.1. Crew Maintenance Overtime The contractor shall electronically submit a ship's force work list for each ship, for the upcoming month, no later than five business days prior to the end of the current month IAW Section Error! Reference source not found., Monthly Budget Status Report. The contractor shall submit the ship’s force work list to the COR and include the following minimum information within it:

A prioritized list of repairs and other corrective maintenance actions that each ship intends to accomplish during the upcoming month (regularly scheduled Shipboard Automated Maintenance Management (SAMM) PM tasks are not to be included in this list). This list shall be generated using the open ship’s force (SF) and Voyage Repairs (VR) items in each ship's SAMM Repair Module.

A cost estimate of additional maintenance overtime hours or additional crew (if any), by work item, required to perform each task with clearly stated justifications for incurring the additional costs.

An estimate of any industrial assistance (IA) costs associated with completing any proposed corrective maintenance tasks with clearly stated justifications for incurring the additional costs.

If requested by the COR, for each task requiring overtime (OT) or additional ship's force, the contractor shall include a cost comparison demonstrating that the estimated costs for additional OT or personnel is lower than the estimated costs associated with subcontracting IA to perform the identical work. All assumptions and calculations used in the cost comparison are to be clearly identified.

The contractor shall not incur OT listed above without COR approval.

If additional OT, ship's force, or IA is requested for the upcoming month, the contractor shall obtain COR approval and funding confirmation.

C-1.1.3.4. Full Operating Status (FOS) The Government estimates that the ships will spend the majority of the time fully manned in FOS status during the Contract performance period. Actual in port and underway percentages may vary. During FOS, contractor shall conduct at sea operations 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The contractor shall crew ships in FOS with crew in accordance with Section C-1.7.1.1. FOS crews shall work eight hours per day, seven days a week, including national holidays (overtime incurred during this time shall be part of the fixed price). The contractor shall maintain the FOS crew twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

C-1.1.3.5. Reduced Operating Status (ROS)

The Government does not expect to place any of the ships in ROS.

However, for ships directed into ROS; the Government estimates that the ships may spend a majority of the time in ROS status with reduced manning during the Contract performance period. This status includes time spent in shipyard availabilities in ROS/ RAV status. ROS OPTEMPO typically consists of 100% in port operations (pier side or on dry dock). The contractor shall man ships in ROS with crew according to Section C-1.7.1.1. Contractor ROS crews shall work eight hours per day, five days a week (these hours shall be part of the fixed price). The contractor shall maintain a duty watch of two mariners (one engine and deck watch stander of which one shall be a licensed officer) on weekends and holidays.

When ship is directed to transition to FOS, an activation notice will be issued by MSCHQ.

C-1.1.3.6. Ships in ROS The contractor shall work within the approved budget to maintain the ships in a mission ready state and be able to transition to FOS within the applicable reactivation timeframe. If additional funding is necessary, the contractor shall make formal request to the Government with intent and justification prior to executing maintenance work. The contractor shall ensure that the ship(s) and all equipment, systems, and appurtenances are continuously maintained such that the ROS to FOS transition schedule can be met in a cost-effective manner. The contractor shall perform scheduled and unscheduled maintenance actions and repairs necessary to maintain mission readiness, safety, environmental protection, regulatory compliance, or the reactivation schedule. The contractor shall follow its standardized transition plan to meet established milestones for transitioning to FOS. The contractor shall perform maintenance and repair planning in a manner that provides shipboard readiness and seamless transitions.

Perform Maintenance and Repairs (ROS) The contractor shall use ship's force to accomplish all maintenance and repairs that are customarily accomplished by the ships’ crew within the industry.

C-1.1.3.7. Ship Transition – ROS to FOS During the ROS to FOS transition period, the contractor shall indoctrinate all assigned crewmembers concerning a ship’s operation and mission as described in Section C-1.1.2 – Scope of Work/Mission. All ROS crewmembers assigned to a ship upon its activation shall sail with the ship in FOS for a minimum of 30 days or for the duration of the activation, whichever is less. The contractor shall ensure consumable stores and provisions on an activated ship are sufficient for the intended voyage. When directed by the Government, the contractor shall arrange for bunkers. The contractor shall prepare the ship for departing its lay berth and getting underway at the end of the ROS to FOS activation period. Then contractor shall proceed as ordered. The contractor shall not be paid the per diem FOS rate until the first non-ROS crew member has arrived onboard the ship and has been onboard the ship for at least one calendar day. The contractor will notify the COR and Contracting Officer once the first non-ROS crew member has arrive onboard the ship. The contractor will reduce the FOS per diem rate, when invoicing, based on the number of FOS crew that have not arrived onboard the ship.

C-1.1.3.8. ROS – FOS – RAV Transition Requirements The contractor shall submit a transition plan that states the actions, in chronological order, the contractor will take to prepare a ship for transition from ROS to FOS, FOS to ROS, and FOS or ROS to RAV and provide an explanation of what each action entails.
