CargoMax Fleet Stability Software SOW - DRAFT.pdf

CargoMax Fleet Stability Software

1. Overview

1.1. NOAA operates a fleet of research ships to safely facilitate its Earth observations.

These ships must be operated in accordance with their Trim and Stability (T&S) Booklets that define their maximum loads to meet Federal stability criteria. CargoMax is the fleet standard shipboard software to assist ships force in performing T&S calculations.

2. Objectives

2.1. The purpose of this contract is to provide and maintain current, both CargoMaxTM

Stability and Loading Software data files and HECSALV/HECSTAB ship models for all ships in NOAAs fleet. CargoMaxTM is the standard on-board stability software used by the NOAA fleet. Licenses for initial CargoMaxTM installation, software maintenance, and a secure FTP site are also covered by this contract along with revisions to the ship specific data files needed to tailor CargoMaxTM and other supporting technical documentation to match the associated Trim and Stability Booklets when required in support of complete and accurate CargoMaxTM data files and/or HECSALV/HECSTAB ship models

3.1. Current fleet CargoMax builds

3.2. Ship drawings and documentation as required.

4. Requirements

4.1. Provide engineering support to update CargoMaxTM data files & Vessel Information

Books (VIBs) Revise CargoMaxTM data files to accurately reflect changes to ships configuration and mission through its life cycle.

Prepare Vessel Information Booklets to provide user instruction in the use of the ship specific CargoMaxTM files.

Provide the latest version of CargoMaxTM with each individual ship update along with a current copy of the CargoMax users manual.

4.2. Develop CargoMaxTM data files for ships new to NOAA’s fleet.

4.2.1. The covers the four (4) new NOAA ships currently under construction and any other ships that may be added to the NOAA fleet.

4.3. When required, NOAA will cover the costs and submission of CargoMaxTM for ABS review and approval.

4.4. Provide software licensing and software.

4.4.1. Provide HECSALV / HECSTAB software and required licensing for NOAA to view, edit, and create ship models.

4.4.2. Provide two (2) perpetual licenses for shore side use with the option for yearly updates.

4.4.3. Maintain a secure website to distribute CargoMax with up to four (4) unique shoreside logins and one (1) secure log in for each ship in the NOAA fleet.

Shore side users shall be able to access CargoMaxTM software and supporting documentation for all ships in the fleet and all software provided under this contract.

shipboard user shall only be able to access CargoMaxTM software and supporting documentation for the specific ship.

4.4.4. Provide software licensing for two (2) CargoMaxTM installations on each ship.

4.5. The contractor shall also provide technical assistance as follows:

4.5.1. Provide 500 hours per year of technical services to update the stability software to the ship as required due to changes to the ships lightship weight, centers of gravity, changes to the trim and stability booklet, changes to tank configurations, changes to the ships hull form and superstructure arrangement.

4.5.2. The contractor shall provide at least 8 hours of training for the ship’s crew foreach shipboard software installation. As part of the training, the contractor shall provide a user manual that describe all of the operations of the program as well and how to utilize each attribute that can be controlled by the user.

4.5.3. The outputs of the program shall also be defined. The contractor shall demonstrate to the users how each of the critical components of the software work.

4.5.4. Provide 3 days of onsite training to the shoreside support personnel (approx. 10 people). This training shall include an in-depth review of the stability software as well as training for the hull modeling software used by the stability software.

Provide copies of manuals for the stability software and hull modeling software.

4.6. Provide up to five ship or shore visits per year to conduct training for the utilization for the software. Each day shall include 8 hours of software training to enable new users to become familiar with the operation of the program.DR
