2.0 Industry Studies Statement of Work.

2.1. Objective and Scope:

The primary objective of this Industry Studies effort is to ensure the DD&C RFP establishes opportunities for a competitive environment. Each Contractor awarded an Industry Study contract will perform studies and analyses addressing the topics outlined in Section 2.2 of this SOW. Contractor Industry Studies will assess relevancy, applicability, and suitability of the provided OPC technical data and references with regard to the Contractor’s proposed design and construction approach. Contractors will evaluate the referenced design artifacts and propose their most cost effective and schedule efficient plan to transition the Functional Design into a Production Design and to construct OPCs per the contract scope described above.

Industry Studies will address Competition, Design, Construction, Affordability and Schedule.

The Industry Studies are divided into two parts.

• Part 1: Design Assessment Studies, Cost and Schedule Estimates, and Production Management Analysis.

https://beta.sam.gov/

• Part 2: 3D Product Model Production Engineering Studies supporting Product Model planning and validation.

Part 1 provides the OPC Program with information sufficiently early in the process to inform Government OPC DD&C RFP development. Part 2 provides the OPC program with insight into industry practice pertaining to development of a 3D Product Model and selected product model examples.

2.2. Industry Studies Tasks:

The Contractor shall perform studies to provide recommended approaches and processes to complete DD&C of the OPC given the information provided in Section 1.2, References (1) through (10). The Contractor shall study these references as part of each task.

The Contractor shall prepare and deliver data in accordance with Section J-1 attachment titled “Industry Studies Contract Data Requirement List”, which includes the schedule for submitting each deliverable.

Part 1 studies shall be delivered as CDRL [01-1001-x.x]. Part 2 studies shall be delivered as CDRL [02- 1001-x.x].

All data shall be delivered electronically via the Coast Guard provided Independent Data Environment.

Throughout this SOW the following design definitions apply:

• Functional Design: 2D design artifacts such as a Topside Arrangement Drawing, piping system calculations, and one-line diagrams

• Transitional Design: Design model reflecting the Functional Design and space arrangements populated with equipment, components, and systems. The Transitional Design is used to generate the Production Design. This is typically provided as an integrated 3D computer model.

• Production Design: Artifacts necessary to build the ship such as CNC cut tapes, pipe spool details, foundation details, etc. These are outputs of the model developed during Transitional Design.

• 3D Product Model: This model includes the Transitional Design information along with logistics data such as: material, center of gravity, unit weight, production block, commercial or military standard, nominal size, dimensions, spool, reference drawing, nest file, manufacturer, OEM part number, shipyard part number or identifier, SWBS, ship system. It provides production and sustainment users with the ability to extract data for a particular component or system.

Part 1 Industry Study Tasks [01-1001-x.x]

The Contractor will also be provided an opportunity for an executive level meeting with USCG officials following the kickoff meeting if the Contractor desires. The Government will prepare and provide minutes of the post award meeting.

The Contractor shall hold scheduled meetings to support tasks 2.2.1.1 through 2.2.1.8. Meetings will be held either as video teleconferences or in person. Notional meeting schedules are depicted in the Notional Schedule provided as Attachment J-4. One meeting may be conducted at Contractor’s facilities. The Contractor shall prepare and provide minutes of each meeting and provide copies of all information presented. The purpose of meetings is to allow Contractors to raise issues of general concern. Meetings will not be conducted after the final OPC DD&C RFP is issued.

2.2.2 Cost and Schedule Studies - The Contractor shall identify the expected cost and schedule to complete OPC Detail Design, to construct an initial OPC, and to construct at least eight additional OPCs if exercised as options under the DD&C contract. These estimates shall be based on the OPC Assessment completed under task 2.2.1 of this SOW and incorporating the recommendations of 2.2.1.1. The OPC design approach recommended by the Contractor must be capable of meeting the technical requirements of the updated draft OPC Systems Specification and SOW, references (1) and (8), and the Contractor must be capable of constructing the OPC class to that proposed design.

2.2.2.1 Cost and Schedule to Complete Detail Design.

• Detail Design Cost - The Contractor shall provide a cost estimate for transitioning during DD&C the Functional Design into a Transitional Design, a Production Design, and a 3D Product Model in Fiscal Year 2020 dollars, to include non-recurring costs from the start of Detail Design through delivery of the initial OPC.

• Design Schedules - The Contractor shall develop two high-level schedules depicting the key efforts to transition the OPC Functional Design into a Transitional Design, a Production Design, and a 3D Product Model. These two schedules shall be visually similar to Attachment J-4. One (large-scale) design schedule shall be depicted in months, presenting the schedule from DD&C contract award through Production Readiness Review. A separate (medium-scale) design schedule shall be depicted in quarters, presenting the schedule from DD&C contract award to delivery of the initial OPC, and including a simplified depiction of the initial OPC construction schedule. Each schedule shall address all major milestones called out in section 040 of OPC Contract Section C (Reference (8)) applicable to the time frame presented.

• The Contractor shall identify possible affordability initiatives for managing Detail Design costs as well as overall life cycle cost, and document potential impact of those initiatives on both cost and schedule.

2.2.2.2 Cost and Schedule for OPC Construction – The Contractor shall provide the following cost and schedule estimates.

• The Contractor shall provide a table of notional cost estimates, in then-year dollars, for constructing an initial OPC plus the corresponding long lead time material price, based on Contractor’s Detail Design, and to accept options to construct an additional eight OPCs.

The table shall provide a separate estimated construction cost for each hull and the corresponding long lead time material price, excluding the design costs of section 2.2.2.1.

• The Contractor shall identify the cost estimate classification level represented by the table of cost estimates, using definitions in the SUPSHIP Operations Manual.

• The Contractor shall identify all cost assumptions made in the development of the estimates as well as the basis for those cost assumptions. Assumptions based on recent relevant deign experience of comparably sized ocean going vessels shall be noted. To the extent possible, the Contractor shall arrange the costs by Ship Work Breakdown System (SWBS) number.

• Construction Schedules - Using Microsoft Excel the Contractor shall develop a medium-scale graphic schedule (in quarters) depicting the proposed construction start date, delivery date, and significant events for an initial OPC based on Contractor’s Detail Design. The Contractor shall develop a separate small-scale graphic schedule (in quarters) depicting the proposed construction start dates and delivery dates for constructing at least an additional eight optional OPCs. The estimated start and completion date of each hull shall be listed, corresponding to the depicted design schedule of section 2.2.2.1 and recommendations of 2.2.1.1. If two OPCs are projected to start construction in a single year, they may show concurrent start dates if advantageous to the Contractor.

• The Contractor shall identify possible affordability initiatives for managing construction costs as well as overall life cycle cost, and document potential impact of those initiatives on both cost and schedule. The impact of block buys of OPCs as a cost reduction strategy shall be addressed in this section.

2.2.2.3 Cost and Schedule Risks - The Contractor shall provide the following risk assessments.–

• The Contractor shall provide a risk assessment of achieving the OPC Program’s previously established affordability target for production OPCs. That previous target was an average unit price of $310 million in FY-22 dollars for OPC-4 through OPC-9 including production and LLTM. It assumed that OPC-4 and OPC-5 would be awarded in FY21, OPC-6 and OPC-7 would be awarded in FY22, and OPC-8 and OPC-9 would be awarded in FY23. Contractor’s assessment shall compare that previous target against Contractor’s anticipated costs for constructing the next six OPC options immediately following construction of the Contractor’s first three OPCs under a DD&C contract.

• The risk assessment shall be based on the recommended approach in section 2.2.1 with respect to the references provided herein and shall support the Contractor’s proposed notional schedule.

• If the Contractor’s proposed schedule estimates OPC delivery dates which are later than the USCG notional OPC DD&C schedule in reference (6), the Contractor shall provide a separate cost and schedule risk assessment for accelerating production to achieve the USCG notional date for delivery of OPC-25.

2.2.3 OPC Production Analysis - The Contractor shall present a clear management strategy to construct an initial OPC and to accept options to construct additional OPCs up to the program of record. This study shall address cost, schedule, and technical development to ensure the success of the program, and shall be consistent with the assessment of section 2.2.1 and the schedules proposed in section 2.2.2.

2.2.3.1 Engineering and Production Capacity. The Contractor shall describe the engineering organization, including manning levels, which will complete the Detail Design. The description shall include the location of personnel and subcontractors, and the communication plans to complete the OPC design.

• The Contractor shall submit an analysis of production capacity and demonstrate that the Contractor team either has the in-house production capacity and launch capabilities to ensure on-time delivery of the OPC or show how future planned investments or subcontracts will provide this capacity and capability.

• This analysis shall assess resourcing, to include materials, personnel, and training available to the Contractor team to meet the OPC delivery schedule. It shall identify the ideal annual production rate for the Contractor team with consideration of yard capacity, labor availability, and near- and long-term efficiency gains (learning curve).

Part 2 Industry Study Tasks [02-1001-x.x]

2.2.4 Production Engineering Studies – The Government may exercise options for Part 2 Industry Studies before the Government issues a separate RFP for DD&C of OPCs. The Government may conduct communication sessions with Contractors to review progress and collect feedback on Part 2 requirements up to the point the Government issues the final RFP for DD&C. Once the DD&C RFP is released, these communication sessions will cease.

Part 2 Industry Studies enable Contractors to establish processes for and commence development of an OPC Transitional Design. They also enable Contractors to establish elements of a 3D Product Model and processes permitting Government visualization of 3D Product Model examples.

2.2.4.1 3D Product Model Development Plan - The Contractor shall identify and document any intended 3D model computer applications, modeling plans, and modeling processes that will be used to develop the 3D Product Model.

2.2.4.2 Product Model Validation – The Contractor shall validate the proposed modeling process by producing a 3D model of the galley and the Operations Center.

2.2.4.3 3D Product Model Report and Lessons Learned - The Contractor shall provide a report detailing work performed under section 2.2.4.2, including lessons learned and recommendations for procedures for the Government to employ in conducting the 3D Product Model review during DD&C of the OPC. The report shall recommend the level of detail the Government should require within the 3D Product Model, and the extent to which the 3D Product Model should include Logistics Support Information. The report shall contain a description of the process followed to create Production Design work packages from the 3D Product Model.

3.0 Deliverables.

The Contractor shall provide the deliverables for each exercised Task in Contractor-selected electronic format compatible with Government review using either AutoCAD or Microsoft Office applications on a Windows 10 operating system, per Attachment J-1, Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL). If the source document is not available in MS Office format or AutoCAD searchable PDFs are allowable.

References to contract deliverables within this SOW are indicated with brackets, such as CDRL [02-1001-x.x].

The Government will acknowledge acceptance of each received deliverable. This acceptance does not indicate approval or concurrence with the recommendations in those CDRLs. Instead acceptance confirms that that all delivered files can be opened and reviewed using the software applications discussed above. Because these deliverables are considered recommendations to the Government supporting development of a DD&C RFP, the Government will not provide feedback to the contractor in terms of Compliance Comments or Design Concerns, and will not request Contractors to correct or update any deliverables.

If review of a deliverable indicates significant misunderstanding by the Contractor of Industry Studies requirements or references, and if that misunderstanding is likely to adversely affect deliverables still under development, the Government may at its option choose to discuss that perceived misunderstanding with the Contractor during status meetings described in section 2.2.1.9.

The Government will not share deliverables provided under this contract with other contractors.

Recommendations provided within Information Studies deliverables may inform the content and/or structure of the resulting DD&C RFP. Recommendations supported by one or more Contractor’s deliverables may be incorporated within the D&C RFP without attribution, consistent with established data rights.
