1.3. Specifications

Provide all labor, materials and services to procurement a new 34’ aluminum USACE Survey Vessel boat and trailer. Vessel shall meet all characteristics as identified in section 1.1 Description of vessel.

Prior to construction of vessel, contractor must submit vessel builder’s design and calculations, general arrangement plan, and profile drawing of the cabin, decks, engine mounting and auxiliary equipment layouts to the Contracting Officer as part of the proposal which will be verified to ensure it meets the stated criteria. Inability to meet ISO and USACE defined damage stability criteria could result from termination of the contract.

Vessel shall be capable of handling offshore, rough or heavy seas. Furthermore vessel must be capable of housing 200 pounds of survey equipment.

For intact stability and buoyancy assessment, the vessel shall satisfy the requirements identified in ISO 12217-1, Part 1, Design Category B.

For damage stability, in addition to the ISO buoyancy assessment, the vessel shall be designed with watertight bulkheads and decks so that in the event of any one single compartment becoming damaged, the vessel will remain floating in a general upright attitude, no down-flooding locations submerged (to prevent cascading/progressive flooding), and allowing the crew to safely evacuate from the cabin.

All stability calculations shall be submitted to the COR for review and approval.

Contractor shall install Capacity Plate in accordance with ISO 14945 showing maximum capacities of vessel (people, weight, cargo, etc.) on appropriate location of vessel. The boat must accommodate a maximum capacity of 10 persons in accordance with all applicable standards.
