1.0 Background

3.0 Objectives

The objective of this project is to remove and dispose of both the hull of a thirty-five-foot (35 ft.) pleasure vessel and a thirty-foot (30 ft.) catamaran from the shallow shoreline without causing a hazard to naviga-tion and/or smaller pieces spreading throughout the Great Kills harbor creating a hazard to other marine traffic as well as wildlife that may entangle itself in the debris or ingest some of the materials.

4.0 Tasks

The Contractor shall provide a REMOVAL PLAN that shall include of an excavator mounted on mats on a flat deck barge with a second thirty foot by ninety-foot barge alongside to receive the debris of the wrecks.

Tugboats are to be used to transport and to stage the flat deck barge and excavator alongside the thirty-five-foot fiberglass vessel at each location in the Great Kills Park shoreline in Great Kills Harbor, Staten Island New York.

The shallow drift tugboat shall assist the larger tugboat in the shallower waters used to position the re-ceiving barge alongside each wreck, as the wrecks are both presently positioned on the rocks near the shoreline.

The flat deck barge with a second barge alongside capable to receive the debris from both the Thirty-five-foot pleasure vessel and 30-foot Catamaran at their present locations in the Great Kills Harbor, Staten Is-land New York.

An Oil Containment Boom will be installed to serve the purpose of containing any small debris that may fall off the larger sections of the wrecks as they are lifted to be placed on and in dumpsters located on the barge. Oil containment booms shall be put in place around the derelict vessels before removal activ-ities.

5.0 Deliverables

Every effort will be made to remove all recoverable pieces of the wrecks. The National Park Service rep-resentative or Contracting Officers Representative under its jurisdiction will serve as the Administrator for the Great Kills Park, which is part of Gateway National Recreation Area, has the full legal authority and control of the wrecks while presently situated along the shoreline of the park, and further has the legal authority for the direction for the removal to be accomplished in a manner as described in detail above.

Environmental/Oil Spill Response

The oil containment boom system is to be used and would also be able to contain any small debris form the wrecks in their present location. No oils of any kind onboard either residual or lube oils was discov-ered. If an engine still remains onboard, the Oil Containment Boom System will be able to contain in any event that some oils were to seep or escape from the wreck. In the event that residual fuels a discharge of oil were to occur during the removal of the vessel wreck a Spill Response Component of the work for re-moval and disposal under a separate Oil Response element to this Wreck Removal Agreement would be employed by the Contractor.
