010 INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION

010-1 General 010-1.1 The purpose of this procurement is to provide Aids to Navigation (ATON) CB (CB) capabilities to United States CG (USCG) buoy tending cutters. This specification contains requirements for two distinct classes of CBs to be carried onboard two classes of cutters.

010-1.2 The new CB-ATON-L will be carried on board 225-foot Juniper Class Seagoing Buoy Tenders (WLB) and each CB-ATON-M will be carried on board 175-foot Keeper Class Coastal Buoy Tenders (WLM). Both CB classes will be standard assets and will be deployed from CG cutters (ships) for at sea and inshore operations or in port. The CB-ATON-L and CB-ATON-M will primarily support the ATON mission and also be capable of supporting Search and Rescue (SAR);

Maritime Law Enforcement (MLE); and Ports, Waterways and Coastal Security (PWCS) and shall be capable of performing missions during day and night in varying sea conditions. These missions are further prioritized for each CB class in Section 44.

010-1.3 The new CBs will replace existing cutter boats in the CG fleet. The existing cutter boats are open boats of the type commonly referred to as a Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) or Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat (RHIB) and Trailerable Aids to Navigation Boats

(TANB).

010-1.4 The intent of this acquisition is to procure up to 20 CB-ATON-L boats and up to 18 CB-ATON-M boats over a five (5) year period, along with the associated equipment, spare parts, and documentation necessary to support this fleet of boats.

010-1.5 The CG intends to procure 1 to 3 CB-ATON-Ls and 1 to 3 CB-ATON-Ms for a Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) run, necessary to field enough vessels to perform Operational Testing and Evaluation (OT&E). The OT&E period will last for a three month period. During this OT&E period, the CG will fully test the boats (and associated boat outfit and supporting equipment) in a variety of operational and geographic areas to ensure that they meet the performance criteria outlined in these specifications. By the end of this OT&E period, the contractor shall provide fully developed Logistics, Drawings, and other deliverables outlined in Sections 083-086. Once the CG has accepted and approved of these deliverables, the Contractor will be authorized to proceed to Full Rate Production (FRP) of boats.

010-1.6 The USCG has the right to expedite the OT&E phase to commence FRP.

044 CUTTER BOAT OPERATIONS

044-1 Concept of Operations 044-1.1 The new CB-ATON-L will be carried on board Juniper Class Seagoing Buoy

Tenders (WLB) and each CB-ATON-M will be carried on board Keeper Class Coastal Buoy Tenders (WLM). The primary mission for each CB-ATON-L and CB- ATON-M will be ATON. Secondary missions will include SAR, MLE, and PWCS.

These Cutters will be employed in varying sea and weather conditions during daytime and nighttime operations. The WLM will typically operate within 12 miles of the coast.

044-1.2 ATON: This servicing encompasses replacing day boards and lights. The CBs will be used to service aquatic ATON structures, includes routine maintenance and equipment test, in addition to the above services. The CBs will also be used to deploy, recover (astern or side tow) and inspect small buoys. The buoys weigh up to 115 lbs (see Illustration 596-1).

044-1.3 When used as a SAR platform, each CBs will be expected to execute standard search patterns for vessels or persons in the water utilizing installed electronics systems and crew lookouts. The CBs shall provide the crew with the capability to reach down in the water and retrieve a person with no more than two (2) crew members at normal operating conditions. The CBs shall provide for unassisted self-recovery of able-bodied crew members from the water.

044-1.4 Launch and recovery operations will be conducted up to the operating environmental conditions specified in Table 070-2. When the Cutter is in port, CBs will either be stored in the cradle on board the cutter or on the trailer.

044-2 Operating Conditions 044-2.1 The following is provided to demonstrate the envisioned use of each CB-ATON-L and CB-ATON-M. The primary mission for each CB is to service ATON. This includes, but is not limited to, replacing day boards on fixed aids, servicing small buoys (deploying/recovering buoys and moorings) and performing maintenance and replacing batteries on lighted aids (structures and buoys).

044-2.2 While the Cutter is underway, each CB will normally be stored in a cradle on deck, exposed to the weather. The boats shall be stored ready-for-operations to include inflated fendering (where provided).

044-2.3 The majority of ATON operations require each CB to come alongside fixed or floating ATON or alongside another vessel to transfer or retrieve personnel, cargo, and equipment. Transfers are conducted with the other vessel at rest (dead in the water) or traveling at speeds up to nine (9) knots. The “other vessels” range from small pleasure craft to large ships. The CBs are also used in a similar manner to come alongside a fixed structure such as an aid to navigation or marine structure.

044-2.4 The CBs normally operate within sight of the Cutter, but may operate up to 12 nautical miles (NM) away from the Cutter.

044-2.5 The CBs and systems shall be designed to support 150 hours of annual underway operations.

A logistics conference will be held to address any questions concerning logistics, see Section 083-2.

083-1.3 Design, Testing and Logistics Support Information: The design, testing and logistics support information falls into the following categories:

083-1.3.1 Drawings & 3-D Software Model: The drawings document contract compliance and are used to support the boats throughout the life-cycle.

Drawings are addressed in Section 085. The CG also requires the contractor to provide a 3-D software model of the boat that may be reviewed during the pre-acceptance trials and initial testing. This model will enable the CG to ensure preliminary contract compliance (before receipt of other logistics deliverables).

083-1.3.2 Calculations: The calculations document contract compliance and are used to support the boats throughout the lifecycle. Where calculations are required, they are addressed by the appropriate sections in this specification including the Stability Calculations (Section 079), Structural Calculations (Section 100), and Electrical Load calculations (Section 300).

083-1.3.3 Testing and Trials Documentation: Testing and trials documentation is required to verify contact compliance. The testing documentation is addressed in Section 092, the trials documentation is addressed in Section 093.

083-1.3.4 Provisioning Technical Data (PTD): Provisioning Technical Data is required to allow the CG to purchase maintenance supplies, spare parts and replacement parts over the lifecycle of the boat. The Contractor’s PTD is often considered the most vital element of logistics support.

Without this detailed information, the Federal Supply System would be unable to develop the technical coding needed to identify and procure equipment, parts and materials during the life cycle of the Contractor’s equipment.

083-1.3.5 The PTD includes:

083-1.3.5.1 The Master Equipment List, see Section 083-3.
