C000 GENERAL

1. C001 MISSION STATEMENT

a. The Marine Design Center (MDC) of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has issued this solicitation to acquire a new Medium-Class Hopper Dredge (MCHD) to replace the ageing Dredge McFARLAND. The completed vessel will be placed in service with the Philadelphia District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (CENAP) and will be used by the District for operations as described in Paragraph C002.

b. The completed vessel shall be ABS classed. As a United States dredge, the vessel construction, manning, and operation shall satisfy all requirements of the Jones Act/Merchant Marine Act of 1920.

c. The Corps maintains a minimum fleet that includes the hopper dredges ESSAYONS, YAQUINA, WHEELER, and MCFARLAND, pursuant to Public Law (PL) 95-269 (1978).

These government hopper dredges play an important role in guaranteeing the ability of the Corps to deliver our navigation mission and enable safe, reliable, effective and environmentally sustainable waterborne transportation systems for vital national security, commerce, and recreation needs. The Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 1996 and WRDA 2007 further directed the dredges WHEELER (WRDA 1996) and MCFARLAND (WRDA 2007) to operate in a Ready Reserve status for national defense, for emergency needs, and for contract work when private industry has failed to submit a responsive and responsible contract bid. As a reserve fleet, the WHEELER and MCFARLAND provide essential capability to the Nation in maintaining the flow of commerce, in support of national security missions, and during emergencies. USACE manages the minimum hopper dredge fleet using accepted asset management principles, including a Plant Replacement and Improvement Program (PRIP) that ensures the financial capacity to fund replacement of vessels when needed. Based on the importance of the minimum fleet to the mission, the age and operating condition of the vessels, and the capacity of the PRIP fund, the Corps has a long-term plan for recapitalizing its minimum fleet consistent with the financial obligations of the USACE dredge fleet and demonstrated need informed by physical inspections of these dredges. Decommissioning of the old dredges will occur at the time of replacement. This specification and contract are only for the replacement of the MCHD MCFARLAND.

d. The Dredge MCFARLAND is one of two USACE hopper dredges in Ready Reserve status.

The MCFARLAND was placed in a Ready Reserve status on 31 December 2009. The dredge periodically performs readiness and training exercises to ensure the ability of the vessel and crew to perform urgent and emergency dredging work. These exercises are project funded and are currently limited to the Delaware River and Bay. During the remainder of the year, the MCFARLAND is maintained pier-side by a reduced crew and remains poised for Ready Reserve call-out within 72 hours to urgent or emergency dredging requirements via direction of the USACE Director of Civil Works or his/her designees. The MCFARLAND’s primary geographic areas of responsibility include the Delaware River and Bay, the Eastern seaboard and its harbors, and the Gulf of Mexico including the Southwest Pass (lower 33 miles) of the Mississippi River. The following performance-based specification and outlined operational requirements were identified to ensure the capability of the replacement MCFARLAND meets mission requirements within its Area of Responsibility (AOR).

2. C002 VESSEL OPERATION AND PRIMARY REQUIREMENTS

3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

a. The Medium Class Hopper Dredge (MCHD) to be designed and delivered under this contract will become part of the USACE Minimum Fleet and upon delivery will be placed in a Ready Reserve status. Ready Reserve means that the dredge will generally be kept dockside on shore power in a standby mode and be expected to be versatile in capability and quick to respond when called out. The MCHD will complete 70 days of dredging in the Delaware River on an annual basis as its training and readiness exercise and also serves in a “Ready Reserve” status, meaning she can be called upon by USACE Headquarters to conduct urgent or emergency dredging, which has historically totaled approximately 60 days per year. The dredge will be utilized for channel maintenance dredging to supplement the capability of the commercial industry dredge fleet when circumstances dictate, and it is called upon.

b. The dredge will be home ported at the USACE Fort Mifflin dock facility on the Delaware River in Philadelphia. The dredge is anticipated to operate primarily on both the East Coast and Gulf Coast of the US. However, it may be utilized anywhere in the US, as needed, to include the West Coast but excluding the Great Lakes.

c. Ready Reserve Mission:

d. The primary mission of this dredge is to respond to emerging issues affecting coastal navigation in the US, when called upon. In that regard, the dredge is expected to be designed and built to allow very fast mobilization from the time requested to the time underway. Operations needed to transition from being on shore power at the dock to vessel underway in 72 hours or less.

e. Being a Ready Reserve dredge, the exact conditions, locations, and circumstances for its use are largely unknown. As a result, versatility in the design is encouraged to maximize the number of potential situations that the dredge can support.

f. The overall goal for the dredge is to be able to support any condition for maintenance dredging that presents itself. As a result, it is understood that there may be some trade-off between “optimum” under specified conditions and “range of operation” under more extreme conditions. However, once in a dredging mode, the goal is then to maximize production in terms of tons of material removed. In locations where overflow is allowed, production is based on a combination of hopper load and total cycle time.

g. USACE experience with their existing Ready Reserve fleet has identified features that contribute to better overall operation that include:

4. Maximized hopper loading efficiency over the range of material densities identified in maintenance dredging,

5. Maximized dredge maneuvering control and dredging performance in high current and wind conditions as described in the specification,

6. Ease of maintenance and equipment replacement while in ready reserve dockside status,

7. Minimized need for dry docking,

8. Redundancy that precludes being completely out of service (operating at potentially reduced production until repairs are affected) when there are individual component breakdowns.

a. Current Ready Reserve Dredge Operating Profile (MCFARLAND):

b. For the purpose of Offeror background information about the existing operating profile of the vessel being replaced (MCFARLAND), the following dredging operations are provided based on historical use and situations considered most likely. However, it should be understood that actual usage may vary to include differing locations, dredging depth, material, distance to the disposal site, and potential upland disposal. Offerors shall utilize this information as the basis for the Operating Profile of the new dredge, in conjunction with the technical requirements in this solicitation:

b. Wilmington (ocean) - 10 miles (deep)

6. Type of Disposal- bottom dumping via hopper doors (may need operational procedures to dump in relatively shallow sites depending on door extension below the hull)

7. Current – maximum 3 knots along the track, 3.5 knot cross-current

8. Crosswinds: 15-20 knots

9. Conditions: Turtle deflectors are in deflector position during dredging

(resistance from both drag and weight)
