About this file
This document is a Statement of Work (SOW) for a federal contract opportunity to provide floating crane services to retrieve and reposition the port and starboard bower anchors of the ship Cape Fear. The key details are:
The core services required are to use a floating crane with a minimum 94-ton capacity to underrun and retrieve the port and starboard bower anchors of the ship Cape Fear, which have dragged during recent storms. The contractor will hand off each anchor to the Anchor Deployment Barge (FB670), which will be maneuvered by a tractor tug to the desired repositioning location where the anchor will be dropped. The evolution must take place during daylight hours and slack to flood tide to take advantage of current forces. The contractor is also responsible for delivering and maneuvering the floating crane throughout the entire process. The government requires the use of energy efficient, water efficient, bio-based, and environmentally preferable products to the maximum extent possible.
The related federal contract opportunity is Solicitation #6991PE24Q000014 for SBRF Crane Service to Retrieve Cape Fear's Anchors for Repositioning and Remooring in FY24. The solicitation has a proposal due date of 8/28/2024 and a question/answer cut-off date of 8/26/2024. Offerors must be registered in SAM.gov and provide the required attachments, including pricing, past performance, and the SF1449 form.

SUISUN BAY RESERVE FLEET (SBRF)
SBRF CAPE FEAR CRANE SERVICES ‐ CRANE SERVICE TO RETRIEVE CAPE FEAR'S ANCHORS FOR
REPOSITIONING AND REMOORING FY24
Core Services
The core services of this work package are to retrieve the port and stbd bower anchors deployed from the Ship CAPE FEAR so that they can be repositioned to tighten up the ship’s moor. The ship’s anchors have dragged during the 2023‐2024 winter storms resulting in excess movement of the ship as it responds to the forces of wind and current. The anchors are stuck fast in the bay bottom. SBRF’s crane barge does not have the lift capacity to pull them free of the bay bottom.
Statement of Work
Provide floating crane services to under‐run and retrieve CAPE FEAR’s the port and stbd bower anchors for repositioning. Crane capacity to be a minimum of 94 tons. The contractor is also responsible for delivering and maneuvering his floating crane throughout the entire evolution.
Once the first anchor (port, 25,000 lbs) is retrieved, the contractor shall pass the anchor to SBRF’s
Anchor Deployment Barge (FB‐670), which will be maneuvered by a commercial tractor tug under a separate, existing contract that SBRF has in place. The tractor tug will maneuver the FB‐670 into the desired position for the anchor drop, and then SBRF crew will let the anchor go.
After handing off the first anchor, the contractor will move into position to under‐run and retrieve the second anchor (stbd, 22,000 lbs). The process shall be repeated, handing off the anchor to the FB‐
670/tractor tug for repositioning and anchor drop.
SBRF will have a second tractor tug on site to help position and hold CAPE FEAR in the stream during the entire evolution.
SBRF will have a crew aboard the CAPE FEAR to operate the anchor windlass to pay out chain when FB‐
670 is being maneuvered by the tractor tug, and to take in approximately half a shot of the port and stbd anchor chains to help set the anchors.
Detailed Procedures
1. Floating crane arrives on site, maneuvers to the bow of CAPE FEAR and grabs hold of the port anchor chain.
2. Floating crane under‐runs the anchor chain down to the anchor.
3. Floating crane hoists anchor on deck.
4. Tractor tug #1 maneuvers FB‐670 alongside floating crane. SBRF crew and floating crane crew secures FB‐670 alongside floating crane.
5. Floating crane lifts anchor and passed to SBRF crew aboard FB‐670.
6. SBRF crew secures anchor to FB‐670 and rigs anchor to quick release mechanism aboard.
7. SBRF crew secures a crown buoy rig to base of anchor for marking the location where the anchor is eventually dropped.
8. Floating crane crew and SBRF crew let go lines from floating crane to FB‐670.
9. Floating crane clears the immediate area and stands by.
10. Tractor tug #1 backs upstream and positions FB‐670 for anchor drop while SBRF crew aboard
CAPE FEAR pays out chain over the anchor windlass to the red shot (last shot of chain), then sets the windlass brake and chain stopper pawl.
11. Tractor tug #2 lays along stbd site of CAPE FEAR and pushes the ship a little inshore to help position the ship to the desired spot before the drop.
12. Tractor tug #1 pulls the anchor chain tight as directed by SBRF PIC and holds fast, while SBRF crew aboard FB‐670 trips the quick release and the anchor and crown buoy jewelry drop.
13. Repeat steps 1 through 12 for the stbd anchor.
14. Once both anchors have been dropped, SBRF crew aboard CAPE FEAR will heave in on both anchor chains to about the middle of the yellow warning shot.
SBRF provided services
1. De‐energizing and retrieval of CAPE FEAR’s underwater shore power cable so it is clear of the work area.
2. Generator boat for powering CAPOE FEAR’s anchor windlass.
3. Crew aboard CAPE FEAR to connect generator power and operate the windlass.
4. Anchor Deployment Barge FB‐670 with crew.
5. Two tractor tugs to maneuver FB‐670 and position CAPE FEAR.
The evolution must take place on a mutually agreeable date and time during daylight hours during slack to flood tide to take advantage of the current forces during the remooring evolution.
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); non‐ozone depleting; or made with recovered materials. 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.
