STATEMENT OF NEED & WORK: MARINE CONTAINMENT BOOM SYSTEM:
NOAA Marine Operations Center – Atlantic, 1501 Pier Access Road, Newport, RI 02841
1. Project Objective: The NOAA Marine Operations Center – Atlantic (MOC-A) requires a vendor to supply a comprehensive spill containment boom system to support vessel operations and environmental compliance in Newport, RI. The requirement encompasses permanent perimeter containment boom, rapid-deployment temporary fence boom, a trailer-mounted hydraulic reel system with a portable diesel power pack, and specialized tidal pile-tethering hardware.
2. Scope of Work & Technical Specifications
Permanent Perimeter Oil Containment Boom
● Quantity & Length: Minimum 1,400 total feet supplied in 100 ft sections (14 sections total).
● Dimensions: 18" nominal overall height (approximately 8" freeboard and 10" draft).
● Belting Material: Heavy-duty, algaecide-treated PVC/polyester belting (minimum 0.195"
/ 5 mm thickness) designed for continuous, long-term marine exposure and minimal maintenance.
● Flotation: High-density polyethylene (HDPE) foam-filled floats, mechanically fastened and removable via standard bolt hardware for maintenance/cleaning.
● Ballast & Weight: Metallic block ballast providing a minimum finished weight of 5 lbs/ft.
● Connectors & Hardware: ASTM 962-compliant Universal Slide or "Z" end connectors fitted with sacrificial zinc anodes, anchor attachment points, and integrated handling grips.
● Accessories: 1 x heavy-duty tow bridle with flotation for maneuvering permanent boom sections.
● Packaging: Heavy-duty stackable crates/cartons designed to minimize shipping volume and protect components.
Temporary / Emergency Fence Boom
● Quantity & Length: Minimum 750 total feet, divided into 7 x 100 ft sections and 1 x 50 ft section.
● Dimensions: Flexible fence boom design with 17" nominal height (approximately 6" freeboard and 11" draft) for calm water deployments.
● Fabric & Support: Minimum 22 oz marine-grade PVC fabric reinforced with internal fiberglass support battens between floats.
● Tension & Ballast: Dual tension members consisting of a top stainless steel cable (minimum 3/16") and bottom galvanized chain ballast (minimum 3/16") yielding an overall weight of approx 1.2 lbs/ft.
● Connectors & Accessories: Universal slide or ASTM 962 "Z" connectors; includes 1 x dedicated tow bridle with bullet float and galvanized bridle wire.
Mobile Reel, Trailer & Hydraulic Power Unit
● Boom Reel: Commercial-grade heavy-duty steel base frame coated with epoxy paint, marine-grade aluminum spool with solid side flanges, direct hydraulic drive, and bi-directional speed control. Capacity must accommodate a minimum of 750 ft of 17" fence boom.
● Trailer: Dual-axle highway trailer complying with NATM standards. Equipped with hydraulic surge brakes, breakaway safety chains, DOT lighting/reflectors, and a pintle or ball hitch connection.
● Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU): Portable, skid-mounted HPU featuring a minimum 8–9 HP Tier 4 air-cooled diesel engine with 12V electric and manual recoil start. Must output a minimum of 4.2 GPM @ 2,500 PSI. Includes an 8-gallon hydraulic tank, stainless steel quick-connect couplings, and 25 ft pressure/return hoses.
● Protection: 1 x custom-fitted, weather-resistant fabric storage cover for the reel assembly.
Mooring & Tethering Hardware
● Pile Tether Systems: Quantity 6. Heavy-duty tether units designed for attachment to marine piles up to 18" in diameter, utilizing durable rubber discs and floats threaded on stainless steel chain to adjust automatically with tidal fluctuations.
● 3-Way Connectors: Quantity 6. "T" configuration connectors featuring foam-filled HDPE hard floats, compatible with oil boom profiles up to 24".
3. Equipment Delivery Schedule & Requirements: Vendors must submit itemized lead times for delivery FOB Destination to Newport, RI. Equipment must arrive tested, fully compatible across all modular connection points, and accompanied by full operational and maintenance documentation
