Objectives

The Contractor shall furnish the necessary personnel, material, equipment, and services (except as otherwise specified), to clean, inspect and provide a condition assessment for two docks as specified in the description of tasks below.

During the performance of the work, the contractor shall provide adequate professional supervision and quality control to assure the accuracy, quality, completeness and progress of work.

This Scope of Work includes one site visit for the purpose of cleaning and inspection and a final report as described below. It is the responsibility of the contractor to verify that all the information provided in this solicitation is accurate.

All work is to be completed in accordance with this Scope of Work and other Contract Documents, as well as all applicable Codes and Standards. Contractor shall, without additional expense to the Government, be responsible for obtaining necessary licenses and permits, and for complying with all applicable federal, state, and borough laws, codes, and regulations pertaining to the performance of the service that is to be rendered.

The Contractor shall take proper safety and health precautions to protect workers, the public, and property. The Contractor shall provide the Government all requested reports, and supporting material developed during the performance of the work. The Contractor shall provide adequate professional supervision and quality control to assure the accuracy, quality, completeness and progress of work. The Contractor shall adhere all applicable regulations and codes.

Description of tasks: The work to be completed under this contract consists of the following:

A) Dock Cleaning: Contractor shall remove all growth over 1 inch thick from under the waterline of each dock float via scraping and/or water pressure methods. Care should be taken to avoid damaging floatation billets. Any further methods must be approved by the Contracting Officer.

B) Dock inspection: The inspection and structural evaluation shall include all portions above and below the waterline of the respective marine facilities as described above.

All dive operations will be in water less than 50 feet deep at high tide. All findings are to be photo and videotape documented.

Assessment and evaluation work above the waterline shall comply with the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS): this is essentially a visual inspection of the structure to include inspection of all pilings, piling caps, decking, support structure, cross-bracing, stringers, fasteners, metal hardware and appurtenances. The assessment and evaluation shall look for splits, checks, rot, and damage. Where warranted based on the results of the visual inspection, the evaluation shall include boring into timber members to identify areas of deterioration. Metal fasteners and hardware shall be evaluated for condition, corrosion, and remaining service life.

Assessment and evaluation work below the waterline shall comply with the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) and/or the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) “Standard Practice Manual for Underwater Investigations”.

Completion of level I and level II underwater condition assessments, corrosion analysis inspections and videotape documentation of the submerged portions of the above listed facilities is required in accordance with the following criteria: A level I inspection shall be conducted on 100% of the pilings and floats, including fasteners and hardware.

Pilings and floats identified during the Level I inspection as being obviously damaged will receive a level II inspection. Twenty percent (20%) of the total number of pilings are to receive a level II inspection. This would be eleven (11) pilings for the marine facilities at Bartlett Cove; and twenty-one (21) pilings for the marine facilities at Indian Point. . The number of level II inspections of the floats shall be determined as if the floats were divided into 10 foot sections and 20% of the sections were sampled. This would be eight (8) locations each at the marine facilities at Bartlett Cove and Indian Point. The gangway ramps will receive two (2) level II inspections at each location.

After level II inspection of the pilings and floats targeted by the level I inspection, the remainder of the 20% sampling will be done in a random manner, to produce a statistically-representative sampling. If the level I inspection identifies more than 20% of the pilings or floats that require level II inspection, then a contract modification may be issued for additional inspection at the unit price provided in

Prior to conducting the level II assessment over 20% the contractor shall provide a plan to the Contracting Officer for review and approval, identifying which piles or areas of float sections will be assessed.

C) Condition assessment report: The contractor will produce and deliver a facility condition report/corrosion analysis for each location along with related photographic and videotaped underwater inspection findings to the Contracting Officer (CO) within 30 days after the completion of the site work. Photo/video documentation shall be presented digitally. The report shall include an executive summary, general description of the facilities assessed, present a listing of all personnel and their function that were onsite during prosecution of the work, present all findings from the assessment, present any recommendations and/or issues in a prioritized list that should be addressed by the owner, describe any limitations or complications encountered during prosecution of the work and present any other pertinent information that was noted during the condition assessment and structural evaluation of these facilities. The report shall have daily and dive reports appended to the document. Report shall provide repair recommendations that will effectively address these findings including a Class C estimate for all work detailed in report.

General work requirements:

Required Contractor Qualifications: The condition assessment and structural evaluation shall be performed by a licensed professional engineer with specific experience and qualifications to conduct the stated work. The qualifications of the individual should also meet the minimum requirements established by the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS), National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) and/or American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) as outlined in the ASCE “Standard Practice Manual for Underwater Investigations”.

A Level I general examination is the most common of underwater inspections, and consists of a swim-by overview. A Level I inspection does not involve the cleaning of any structural elements and can therefore be conducted much more quickly than the other levels of examination. A Level I inspection should confirm as-built structural plans and detect objects of obvious major damage or deterioration due to overstress, ship impact, severe corrosion, or extensive biological growth and attack. The underwater assessor would use a visual and or tactile observation technique to make these Level I condition assessments. Visual documentation, using underwater television or photography, shall be included with the findings, which should provide representative results of the overall facility condition.

A Level II detailed examination emphasizes the detection and identification of damaged and deteriorated areas of marina/waterfront assets that may be hidden by bio-fouling organisms or surface deterioration. The data should be sufficient to permit approximating the relative condition and load-carrying capacity of the structures. Level II will require cleaning the surface of marine growth for a length of two feet around the piling, cross-bracing or structure. At minimum, examinations are to occur at the mud-line and at the mean low water level. When the distance between the low water level and mud-line equals 5 feet or less, examinations only need to be completed at the mud-line from this point on up to the low water level point. Other areas to examine would be those identified as damaged or deteriorated from the level I examination. Because cleaning the structural elements is time consuming, it is generally restricted to areas that are critical or which may be representative of the entire structure itself.

The amount and thoroughness of cleaning to be performed is governed by what is necessary to discern the general condition of the overall facility. Simple instruments such as calipers, measuring scales, ice picks, scrapers and chipping hammers are commonly used to both clean the submerged surfaces and take physical measurements. The examination can include drilling a ¼” to 3/8” hole into pilings or timber members or core drilling to inspect for rot or marine boring organisms, particularly toredo worms. Any holes from drilling or coring will be required to be plugged with either a treated wood dowel or galvanized screw.

Photo Documentation: The contractor will provide photo documentation of all above water level findings and will produce a videotape of the underwater inspection detailing all inspection findings therein. The videotape will include a taped dialog between the diver and the topside personnel describing the location, marine growth and general condition of the structure.

Diving Operations: All diving operations must comply with the Association of Diving Contractors International (ADCI) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards. All underwater work and videotape documentation must be performed by personnel with at least three years of documented experience performing similar tasks on docks and floats exposed to a salt water marine environment to NBIS standards. Credentials of personnel that will perform the work must be included with the bid. Two-way communications will be used for recording a dialog between the diver and the topside personnel describing the location and general status of the work. The COR may be present to monitor two-way communication with the underwater inspectors, and will be provided the ability to view the video monitor during all portions of the underwater inspection.

Site Support: The contractor is responsible to provide written notification to the Contracting Officer detailing any site support needs that will be requested from the National Park Service (NPS) in advance of work to allow time for resource coordination. It is the contractor’s responsibility to provide the necessary hardware and equipment to access Government furnished utilities. Public restrooms are available near the Bartlett Cove marine dock facilities and a restroom is available at the Park office (during regular business hours) at the Indian Point facilities.

Site Access: Gustavus is accessible by air or water. The Bartlett Cove inner cove marine facilities are accessible by road from the Gustavus airport and by marine vessel. Vessel access to the inner cove can only occur during high tides. The lagoon entrance goes dry at lower tides.

The contractor will be responsible for obtaining and complying with any permits required from the NPS to enter Glacier Bay with a marine vessel. The Indian Point dock marine facilities are accessible by road out of Juneau or by marine vessel. Park security requires that all work and site visits be prescheduled. A designated Park employee will escort contractors personnel and be onsite for the duration of the work. Park to secure the site daily.
