About this file
This document is a combined synopsis and solicitation for seven Coastal Fast Response Boats. The solicitation seeks proposals to design and construct seven aluminum boats between 42 to 45 feet in length to operate in coastal waters for the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command. The boats must be capable of day or night operations in all weather conditions and have a four person crew. Key requirements include a minimum top speed of 35 knots, cruise speed of 25 knots, and range of 220 nautical miles. The solicitation will be set aside for small businesses and proposals are due by August 15, 2020. Award is expected by September 30, 2020.

042-5 Alternate Items Where boat components and equipment are specified by brand name or manufacturer and model number and followed by “or equal”, such identification is intended to be descriptive, not restrictive, and is intended 35 to indicate the required characteristics of the product. The Builder may propose the use of other products that are equal to the specified make and model products. The following general requirements shall form the http://www.imo.org/Conventions/mainframe.asp?topic_id=257&doc_id=649 basis for determining the equality of alternate products, unless additional specific or alternate requirements are designated within the applicable sections of these Specifications:
a. The major attributes of form, fit, function, interface, and material of an alternate item shall not degrade the performance of the system within which it is used, nor the boat as a whole.
The alternate item shall require no more space or volume than the designated item for 5 installation, operation, or maintenance. The alternate item shall weigh no more than the designated item. The connection fittings required to incorporate the alternate item into a system shall be identical to those necessary to incorporate the specified item. The principles of operation of the alternate item shall be the same as those of the designated item (e.g. hydraulic cylinders shall not be used in lieu of springs, etc.). Input power, 10 capacity, and other operating requirements for the alternate item shall be no greater than those required by the designated item. Output power, capacity, and other performance parameters of the alternate item shall be no less than those required for the designated item and not so much greater than those of the designated item as to require an increased capacity of the system within which the item is installed. 15
b. The materials of construction of the alternate item shall be the same as those of the designated item unless the Builder can demonstrate to the Government that the proposed alternate material will not adversely affect performance or service life of the item, the system within which it is installed, or the boat as a whole.
c. The reliability and maintainability of an alternate item shall be equal to or better than the 20 specified item. The Builder shall provide evidence of the reliability and maintainability of the alternate item. This evidence may include such things as results of testing, service histories, documentation of successful use in similar applications, planned maintenance requirements, etc. Where the reliability and maintainability of the specified item has been established by testing, the Government may require that the alternate item undergo similar 25 testing to demonstrate its reliability and maintainability. Such testing, if required, shall be at the Builder's expense.
d. An alternate item shall conform to the same industry or Government specifications or standards as the specified item. Where a specified item has been approved or certified by a regulatory or testing agency, such as USCG or Underwriters' Laboratories, the alternate 30 item shall also be approved or certified. The cost of demonstrating compliance with specifications or standards, or of obtaining approval or certification, shall be borne by the Builder.
e. If the specified item is one with established logistic support any alternative item shall have equivalent logistic support. If equivalent logistic support has not been established for the 35 alternate item, the Builder shall bear the expense of establishing equivalent support.
Logistic support shall include, as applicable: maintenance planning and analysis; training and training support, including training equipment, curricula, and instruction materials;
supply support; support equipment such as special tools and test equipment; technical documentation including technical manuals, Product Technical Description (PTD), 40 Planned Maintenance System (PMS), Technical Repair Standards (TRS), and software documentation; computer resource support; facilities for maintenance and training; unique packaging, handling, storage, and transportation requirements; and human engineering considerations.
045 CARE OF CRAFT 45
045-1 General
All parts of the craft, including materials, structure, deck coverings, fittings, equipage, outfit, upholstery, insulation, windows, paint work, machinery, auxiliaries, systems, tanks, appliances, and apparatus shall be maintained in a satisfactory condition during the entire period the craft is in the Contractor’s possession.
During construction all debris, refuse, dirt, and water shall be removed frequently. Tanks and voids shall be cleaned before being closed. Rubbish shall be removed from places that are to be permanently closed or which may become inaccessible. Appropriate measures shall be taken to prevent wear and damage incident to construction and to prevent corrosion or other deterioration, especially to unpainted, polished 5 and moving parts. Piping, machinery and equipment subject to freezing shall be kept drained during freezing weather, except during trials and tests. Equipment, prefabricated parts, furnishings and materials shall be kept clean and protected from the environment when stored prior to installation.
045-2 Machinery and Equipment
The Contractor is responsible for the care of all machinery and equipment whether furnished by the 10 Contractor or by the Government. All components or parts, especially those having working surface, passage or piping for lubricating oil shall be kept clean and protected at all times. Electrical and electronic equipment and machinery shall protected at all times against dust, moisture or other foreign matter or contaminates and shall not be subjected to rapid temperature changes or extremes in temperatures.
045-3 Running Aground 15
Precautions shall be taken to prevent the craft from going aground or encountering hazards in the water. In the event the craft is grounded, or incidentally contacts any hazard in the water, the Government shall be notified promptly and a thorough inspection for damaged surfaces, finishes, running gear and appendages shall be conducted. The craft shall be removed from the water for inspection if requested by the Government. 20
045-4 Mercury Restriction
Mercury, either undiluted or in solution in as small a proportion as one part per million, will cause severe corrosion of aluminum. The Contractor shall protect the craft and the materials used in its construction from contamination. Mercury and mercury compounds shall not be stored or carried aboard the craft. The Contractor shall restrict the use of mercury aboard the craft to mercury or mercury compounds contained 25 in components and which are required for the component to operate properly. Components containing mercury that may be used include florescent lights, mercury batteries and permanently installed instruments, sensors and controls specifically required by these Specifications.
050 CRAFT PERFORMANCE
050-1 Craft Performance 30
a. Sprint Speed: Minimum of 35 knots
