The intent of this statement of work is to clean the six (6) cargo tanks aboard the BG-8506 tank barge for the purpose of accomplishing an American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Load Line Renewal Survey.

The BG-8506 tank barge is currently moored at the Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet (SBRF), Benicia, CA. The Contractor may either mobilize their labor, equipment and materials to the SBRF to accomplish the work specified herein, or the Contractor may choose to tow the barge to another facility to accomplish this work, returning the barge to SBRF after completion of all cleaning and drying work.

If the work is done at the SBRF, then the Contractor will be transferring contaminated water/slops over the water. Therefore, the Contractor’s transfer and cleaning operation must be in compliance with 33CFR parts 154 and 156. The Contractor shall have a USCG-approved Operations Manual and a current Letter of Adequacy. These must be provided to the COR and approved prior to beginning the work. In the event of a spill, the Contractor will be responsible for making the notifications to the National Response Center, US Coast Guard Sector San Francisco, and the State of California.
