SECTION-1 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1. LOCATION AND EXTENT OF WORK

Work will be performed on the Snake and Columbia rivers in the area between Lower Granite Reservoir (near Lewiston, ID) and Portland, OR. The Contractor shall provide equipment and perform services for the following operations:

1.2. JUVENILE FISH TRANSPORTION PROGRAM

The Contractor shall provide four towboats, each staffed with crews for 24-hour per day operation, to transport Government-owned fish barges from Lower Granite Juvenile Fish Facility to fish release areas below Bonneville Dam (see map – Attachment 1). Stops will be made at Little Goose and Lower Monumental dams to load additional fish or to pick up an additional fish barge for transport to the release site. The initiation of barging operations is based on runoff and fish outmigration projections. During years when runoff is forecasted to be near or above normal or average runoff, barging of fish could begin as late as May 2. During low flow or drought years, barging of https://whdapps.dol.gov/SF98/getwd.jsp?wdid=123250 25/ fish may begin as early as 21 April. Transporting of fish by barge from Snake River dams will therefore begin sometime between April 21 and May 2, as directed by the Contracting Officer or Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), and could last through August 14 or 15, but could end as early as June 20 depending on fish collection numbers or as coordinated with regional fish managers. The COR shall give the Contractor not less than 7 days (168 hours) notice for end of fish transport by barge operations for the year. Unlike past contracts, no provisions are included for the transport of fish from McNary Dam.

Early in the season, two Towboats may alternate, leaving Lower Granite Dam every-other-day for the trip downriver. If fish numbers increase, two additional Towboats will be placed in service so that a towboat and barge leave Lower Granite Dam daily. Later, when numbers of fish decrease, the program will return to the every-other-day operation. Since every-other-day or daily barge operations begin April 21 or later at Snake River dams, the Corps may direct a Towboat to barge fish once a week from Lower Granite Dam in support of fish research until the start of daily or every other day transport. The weekly transport of research fish may begin as early as April 1 and will cease at the direction of the Corps or when every-other-day or daily barge operations are in progress. During part or all of the daily Snake River fish barging operation, the Government may be direct-loading fish barges at Little Goose Dam. The Contractor will routinely transport a loaded fish barge from Lower Granite Dam, stop and pick up a loaded fish barge at Little Goose Dam, stop and load additional fish at Lower Monumental Dam and then continue on the trip downstream to the release site. On return trips back to Lower Granite Dam, one of the empty barges will be left at Little Goose Dam. Direct loading of fish at Little Goose Dam may also take place during part of the every-other-day barging operation. Barging may continue until approximately mid-August or when fish numbers decline to where trucks will be used for their transport or based on regional agreements regarding the start and ending of fish transport by barge.

Additionally, a stop at Lyon’s Ferry Hatchery may be required during a downriver trip to pick up fish from Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.

1.3. TOWBOAT REQUIREMENTS

1.3.1. TOWBOAT INSPECTIONS. The Contractor is responsible for having a marine surveyor or marine architect inspect all towboats considered for use under this contract, including all towboats that may be used as spare towboats, prior to beginning work on this contract. The marine surveyor/architect will determine seaworthiness, capability of meeting contract requirements, and that towboats provided are safe to operate under weather, wind, and flow conditions prevalent on the Columbia and Snake rivers during the contract period. The marine surveyor/architect shall complete the inspection checklist (Attachment 2) for each towboat and shall certify that each boat proposed for use under this contract satisfies all requirements of this contract including stability, horsepower, propulsion and other requirements. All towboats or other equipment which do not pass the safety inspections must be modified to meet the requirements. Towboats that do not meet the requirements of this contract may not be used by the Contractor for work performed under this contract. Certified inspections that each proposed boat satisfies all requirements of this contract shall be provided to the COR by March 25 of the first (base) contract work year. The Contractor must complete all modifications to towboats to correct deficiencies noted in inspections and provide written notice of those modifications to the COR prior to towboats going into service under this contract. Inspection reports and correction of deficiencies must be approved by the COR prior to the use of any towboat on this contract.

Certified inspections for each towboat may be resubmitted in subsequent option years under this contract. However, if a vessel has been modified, repowered, or have been involved in an accident or incident resulting in damage to the towboat since the initial certification, then another inspection and recertification will be required. Re-inspection results and re-certification documentation must be provided to and reviewed by the COR prior to the vessel returning to service.

1.3.2. BARGE PUSHING REQUIREMENTS. Each towboat provided shall have a minimum total of 1,350 shaft horsepower, be equipped with at least two engines and two propellers, have watertight hatches on main decks, and meet or exceed requirements on the inspection checklist (Attachment 2). Each towboat shall be capable of routinely moving two to four fully loaded Government owned fish-hauling barges, in any combination of sizes, downstream simultaneously as well as moving up to four empty barges upstream. Other combinations of up to four barges may be moved to and from moorage spaces or to and from dams within the contract area as requested by the COR.

1.3.3. FISH BARGE TRANSPORT. Towboats shall be capable of maintaining a round trip time from Lower Granite Dam to the release site below Bonneville Dam (Skamania Light/Warrendale area) and back with fish barges https://whdapps.dol.gov/SF98/getwd.jsp?wdid=123250 26/ not to exceed 80 hours total time. This 80 hour turnaround time shall include up to 3 hours loading time at Little Goose Dam and up to 3 hours at Lower Monumental Dam. Deducting loading time allows 74 hours to progress downstream through seven reservoirs and seven navigation locks to the release site below Bonneville Dam, unload fish, and to return back upstream to Lower Granite Dam. Fish releases will be made at dusk or after sunset in order to minimize exposure to avian predation. In addition to total turn-around time, the contractor must complete the downstream run from Lower Granite Dam to Little Goose Dam in 5 hours or less and from Little Goose Dam to Lower Monumental Dam in 4 hours or less. The Contractor must consider the fact that substantial river flows, high flow velocities, inclement weather, and strong winds can be anticipated during the contract period. Any delays caused by flow or weather conditions are to be reported immediately to the COR or their designee the barge rider.

Lock operators at all Corps dams in the contract area will be notified that fish-hauling barges shall receive first priority when using the various navigation locks. Lockage, fueling, and crew replacement times are to be considered in the 80 hour transit time. Towboat captains are to request priority lockage on all fish-hauling trips. Any delays in movement of towboats and fish barges caused by the Government will not be charged to the 80-hour turn-around time. Partial trips may be necessary when transiting to Lower Granite Dam from the contractor home point of origin when beginning service ("Deadhead" or not in tow), transitioning to home point of origin upon completion of service ("Deadhead" when not in tow), or when directed to move or transfer barges to a designated moorage location before going out of service. If the duration of the operation is less than 40 hours, then the government shall be invoiced at half the rate of a single trip. If the operation takes 40 hours or more to complete, then the government may be billed for a single trip. The government shall not be invoiced for partial trips resulting from contractor negligence or equipment failure or for circumstances beyond government control such as inclement weather. A partial trip may also result from special purpose barge movement for repairs or for a special run to return barges to Lower Granite Dam.

1.3.4. REPLACEMENT TOWBOATS. In the event that the Contractor's towboats are not meeting the maximum turn-around times, the Government reserves the right to require the Contractor to provide alternate towboat(s) that meet the minimum requirements specified in this contract. If the Contractor cannot supply satisfactory replacement towboat(s), the Government reserves the right to supply a replacement and deduct the cost from moneys due to the Contractor.

1.3.5. TOWBOAT LIVING ACCOMMODATIONS. Each towboat shall have fully equipped sleeping, cooking, and dining facilities adequate to house a full operating crew and one assigned representative of the Government (barge rider). Towboats shall be equipped with both hot and cold potable water for showering, washing hands in restrooms, cooking, drinking, and washing dishes. The Government representative (barge rider) shall have a private stateroom or bunk room to ensure privacy. The Contractor shall also be responsible for providing all meals for the Government representatives (barge riders) on the towboats. It is acceptable to add temporary living space for the Government representative provided that the living space is secure from weather and elements, securely fastened to the deck, heated and air-conditioned, and not exposed to any more noise and fumes than would be encountered in the boat's normal crew quarters. Research or news media personnel may accompany some transport trips however, they would not require overnight accommodations because they would be onboard for less than a day.

1.3.6. COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT. Towboats shall be equipped with adequate communications equipment, including cellular telephones, to ensure contact with the Government representative onboard, navigation locks, and emergency services at all points along the river in the contract area.

1.3.7. ELECTRICAL AND COMPRESSED AIR REQUIREMENTS FOR TOWBOATS. Towboats are required to supply 120 volt AC power to the barges for running navigation lights, cabin lights, and engine alarms. All towboats must have correct wiring (polarity) as indicated by checking with an approved circuit tester made by a company such as Hubbell, Ideal, or Leviton. Towboats shall provide compressed air to the barges on an as needed basis if required for operating the fish hold opening mechanisms.
