SECTION C

DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATION/WORK STATEMENT

C.1. BACKGROUND.

The Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (Corporation) is a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation within the U.S. Department of Transportation which owns and operates that portion of the St. Lawrence Seaway in U.S.

territorial waters between Lake Ontario and Montreal, Canada. The Corporation’s mission is to facilitate the safe and efficient passage of commercial vessels through the Seaway. A major part of this function is the removal of floating aids to navigation (buoys) prior to closing the Seaway for the winter and placing them back in service in the spring during the

Seaway opening. The Corporation owns a barge with a pedestal crane which is utilized for this purpose (the Buoy

Barge).

The Buoy Barge is a 150 ft. long x 60 ft. wide x 10 ft. deep U. S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (Corps) DeLong jack up pier barge that was modified by the U. S. Coast Guard (USCG) for setting and removing buoys. The Buoy Barge is equipped with a pedestal crane Model Number T80-62-82 manufactured by Techcrane International.

C.2. DESCRIPTION OF WORK.

This Request for Proposal is for the design, construction, delivery, installation, and testing/commissioning of a pedestal crane which conforms with these specifications and is designed and constructed to operate in the winter conditions experienced in Massena, New York. This crane is to replace the existing pedestal crane Model Number T80-62-82 manufactured by Techcrane International on the Corporation’s Buoy Barge which is and will be docked at the

Corporation’s Marine Base/Maintenance Facility in Massena, New York for this project/work. This Request for Proposal also includes options for the removal of the existing pedestal crane and for the trade-in value of that crane. The removal of the existing pedestal crane would take place at the Corporation’s Marine Base/Maintenance Facility and the existing crane would be available for pickup/trade-in at that location.

C.3. DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS.

The reference drawings and specifications have been made available to each offeror in an electronic format on the

Government Point of Entry at https://www.fbo.gov/ for the purpose of preparing their proposals.

Specification 2C, Sixth Edition, March 2004.

4. Operation. Simultaneous operation of three or more functions is required. The crane must be certified for personnel lifts in accordance with API-2C.

5. Lift Capacity. Independent lift capacity (one hook at a time) shall be:

Auxiliary hook: Minimum 8,000 lbs. at a radius of 82 ft.

Main hook: Minimum 20,000 lbs. at a radius of 55 ft.

6. Wire Load Line Arrangement. The Corporation buoy setting and retrieval operation uses the main and auxiliary hook in a combined sequence where the buoys and sinkers are worked from the main hook and chain is worked from the auxiliary hook. This operation requires that:

The main hook load line shall be installed under (beneath) the boom to the fixed position main hook head assembly.

The auxiliary hook (fast line) shall be installed on top of (above) the boom to the auxiliary hook head assembly mounted on the telescoping extension.

Page 8of41

Sinker pull out loading estimate ½ sinker weight (1.7 LT)

Maximum side angle hook to pick 30 degrees

11. Warranty. The offerors warranty must be submitted with the proposal. The Corporation wishes to acquire the best warranty available but will accept a minimum warranty that encompasses two (2) years or 1,000 hours of operation, whichever comes first due to the limited use of the crane. The warranty period calculation shall commence upon the date of Contract completion and acceptance by the

Corporation.

12. Marine Service. The crane shall be suitable for marine service on a floating hull, rated to be fully revolving with ten (10) degrees of vessel list and three (3) degrees of vessel trim.
