Section C - Statement of Work – Preliminary/Contract Design of Ranger IV

C.1 Introduction

Isle Royale National Park operates the motor vessel Ranger III between Houghton, MI and Isle Royale. The Ranger III is the largest moving piece of equipment owned and operated by National Park Service and is the largest passenger ferry providing service to and from ISRO. There are many amenities on board during its five-hour voyage, including interpretive and educational programs, food sales, three staterooms, four lounges, two decks, and indoor and outdoor passenger seating. In addition to passengers, the Ranger III also transports fuel, food, small powerboats, and other bulk cargo to Isle Royale.

The Ranger III was constructed in 1958 and is nearing the end of its useful life. The Volpe Center, working with the National Park Service, is developing a Preliminary/Contract Design for a replacement vessel, Ranger IV. This Statement of Work defines the effort required for the Preliminary/Contract Design for the Ranger IV.

C.2 Requirements

The Contractor shall provide all labor, materials, and resources necessary to perform the following tasks.

C.2.1 CLIN 00100 – Preliminary/Contract Design of Ranger IV

The Contractor shall perform the Preliminary/Contract Design for the Ranger IV, including engineering analyses, tradeoff studies, and engineering and design documentation defining preliminary and contract designs. The vessel will be designed as a passenger and cargo vessel, be designed to ABS class, and SOLAS and other USCG requirements. To the maximum extent practicable, the design shall incorporate commercially available equipment and technologies.

The design shall incorporate the requirements, design goals, and features specified in the Basis of Design to the maximum extent possible. The Contractor shall inform the Government as soon as possible if, during the design cycle, not all requirements, goals, and features can be incorporated due to vessel size or other limitations and shall provide recommendations as to trade-offs for inclusion.

The Contractor shall provide the management effort necessary to ensure the on-schedule completion of the Preliminary/Contract Design. The Contractor shall identify and take steps to correct all problems and potential problems arising during contract performance.

Data shall be prepared in accordance with this Contract and the Basis of Design. All deliverables (including specifications, drawings, design data, hull geometry file, and technical information developed by the Contactor) shall become the property of the United States Government. The data shall be provided to the United States Government without restrictions for use by the government or release by the government to others.

C.2.1.1 Conferences and Reviews The Contractor shall conduct a Post Award Conference (PAC) within thirty (30) days of award. The Contractor shall host the Conference virtually, in-person, or hybrid, to be determined based on travel restrictions. The purpose of the conference is to (1) review the contract and technical requirements, (2) review the schedule requirements including the schedule of design reviews, and (3) discuss the roles and working relationships between the Contractor and the Government. Representatives from each engineering and design firm on the Contractor’s team shall attend. The Contractor shall prepare Post Award Conference Agenda, Presentation and Minutes (DI-001).

The Contractor shall participate in virtual monthly meetings with the Volpe Center and National Park Service to provide status updates (contract progress reports). Updates shall include:

2.11 SUSTAINABLE ACQUISITION REQUIREMENT

To the maximum extent possible and consistent with the Federal Acquisition Regulations Part 23, the Government requires during the performance of the work under this Statement of Work (SOW) the Contractor to provide or use products that are: energy efficient (ENERGY STAR® or Federal Energy Management Program (FEMA)-designated); water-efficient; biobased; environmentally preferable (e.g., EPEAT-registered, or non-toxic or less toxic alternatives); made with recovered materials; or non-ozone depleting that minimize or eliminate, when feasible, the use, release, or emission of high global warming potential hydrofluorocarbons, such as by using reclaimed instead of virgin hydrofluorocarbons. Unless otherwise identified in this SOW, each recovered materials or biobased product provided and delivered must meet, but may exceed, the minimum recovered materials or biobased content of an EPA- or USDA-designated product. The sustainable acquisition requirements specified herein apply only to products that are required to be: (1) delivered to the Government during contract performance; (2) acquired by the contractor for use in performing services (including construction) at a Federally-controlled facility; (3) furnished by the contractor for use by the Government; or (4) specified in the design of a building or work, or incorporated during its construction, renovation, or maintenance.
