SEAFAC Operations Support

1.0 SCOPE

Except where otherwise stated, the Contractor shall furnish all labor, supervision, management, tools, materials, equipment, facilities, transportation, incidental engineering, and other items necessary to provide the services outlined below and described in this Statement of Work (SOW) at the Southeast Alaska Acoustic Measurement Facility (SEAFAC) located at Back Island, Alaska approximately 12 mile north of Ketchikan, AK. This SOW outlines requirements for site maintenance, logistics, operations, technical integration services, and program management, in support of signature silencing programs for naval ships and undersea systems. In general, this work includes:

· Operational, vessel, and logistical support for full scale signature measurement trials and other signature assessment tests.

· Operation, maintenance, integration, installation and repair of facilities and equipment that are required to support the mission of performing acoustic measurement, testing and analysis at SEAFAC.

· Special project support for full scale signature measurement trials and other signature assessment tests.

1.1 Background

The Signatures Department (Code 70) of the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) is responsible for development of stealth technology to support Navy surface ship and submarine program goals. As part of its mission, Code 70 develops, operates and maintains major acoustic research and development (R&D) facilities at the SEAFAC.

Code 70 provides services and facilities to accomplish acoustic data acquisition and analysis in support of surface ship and submarine R&D projects funded by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), other Navy and Department of Defense (DoD) sponsors, and non-Government organizations. Non-government organizations are efforts funded and conducted through the Work for Private Parties (WFPP) Act. Periodically, NSWCCD conducts acoustic trials on ships of the cruise ship industry and the University of Alaska-Fairbanks. The primary objective of the technical efforts described in this SOW is to support NAVSEA, NSWCCD, and Code 70 signature measurement, integration, installation and assessment testing, acoustic stealth technology development, and related research programs.

SEAFAC is the primary acoustic measurement facility for Pacific Fleet submarines. SEAFAC has two major test sites – a static site where the test vessel is suspended at various depths for specific noise investigations and an underway site for performing noise investigations at various speed conditions and depths. SEAFAC was designed to measure and characterize the acoustic signatures of USS Los Angeles (SSN 688) and USS Ohio (SSBN 726) Class submarines. The SEAFAC Static Site was upgraded in 2006 with a High Gain Measurement System (HGMS) to assess the stealth of the USS Seawolf (SSN 21), USS Virginia (SSN 776) Class, and the soon to be constructed USS Columbia (SSN-771) Class submarines. The SEAFAC Underway Site was upgraded in 2008 to measure and characterize submarine signatures through all operationally significant speed and depth combinations.

The Contractor shall support software updates and upgrades by the Government.

3.3.2.4 Diver Inspection Services. The Contractor shall provide certified commercial divers to inspect and document associated site in water structures and components. Most dive inspections will not exceed 130 feet in depth and either SCUBA or surface supplied air should be sufficient for these inspections. If special conditions are required (i.e., longer dives, depths greater than 130 feet, etc.), the Contractor shall provide a qualified commercial dive team to accomplish the mission which may include mixed gas diving. The Contractor shall also conduct work associated with security swims, buoys placement, barge inspections, sheave buoy inspections, corner buoy inspections, ground tackle inspections, underwater assembly and disassembly, rigging, welding/cutting, and recovery when required. The Contractor shall also conduct inspections of all sea shore interface zones, in water storage areas, sewer outfalls, cable interface zones, pier pilings and floats.

Diving operations shall be conducted in accordance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements set forth in 29 CFR 1910.401, Subpart T – Commercial Diving Operations, and 46 CFR Part 197 Subpart B – Commercial Diving Operations.
