4.1.1 Detention and minimum time, computed to the nearest 6 minute multiple, are payable to the contractor, in lieu of commodity or extra labor (XL) rates specified elsewhere in this contract, at the applicable man-hour rates, subject to the following:

4.1.2 When detention occurs during a commodity operation, the Contractor shall absorb each detention of eighteen (18) minutes or less. The government shall pay the Contractor at detention rates for persons or gangs, including clerks and equipment operators (drivers) for each detention in excess of eighteen minutes including the first eighteen minutes thereof, per the informal US West Coast PMA – ILWU agreement.

4.1.2.1 Detention shall not be authorized for any part of a gang that is not required on commodity operations or when certain classes of labor on commodity operations are required to stand by because of another class of labor performing a commodity operation. For example, commodity vessel load is inclusive of loading and lashing cargo.

Gangs conducting the load & lash are inclusive of each other under one commodity rate; therefore, drivers or lashers during the process of load and lash may be waiting for the other to perform or complete their job. Neither party will be placed on detention while the other is performing commodity work.

4.1.3 Whenever detention occurs prior to or during extra labor operations, the Government shall pay the

Contractor on a detention rate basis for the time of each detention. In the event part of a gang is required to perform an extra labor operation, the balance of the gang standing by shall be paid for at detention rates. In the event certain classes of labor are required to standby because of another class of labor performing an extra labor operation, such certain classes of labor shall be paid at detention rates.

4.1.4 In accordance with applicable collective bargaining agreements, minimum time shall be payable to the

Contractor when work fails to materialize or when work is completed prior to the minimum time and shall not be payable (i) for checkers working in conjunction with longshoremen until completion of the longshoreman commodity activity; and (ii) for any part of a gang not required on a commodity activity. For example, rail unload operation is inclusive of unlash and unload of cargo under one commodity rate. Lashers finish the unlash portion are still on commodity until the drivers are complete with unload and stage to point of rest. During rail load, after drivers complete the load, they remain on commodity until lashers have completed all lashing. While one portion of the gang is on commodity, all are listed as commodity.

At a minimum, the facility requirements should accommodate military cargo volumes of 135,000 sq. ft of rolling stock, 80 TEUs, and provide 1250 ft of functional dockside space with no less than 35’ Mean Lower Low Water draft. Also, the contractor will provide the government with approximately 2500 sq. ft of temporary, fully functional office space to perform the government’s mission functions.

b. Office equipment, such as furniture, telephones, and commercial telephone services, and other material as will be required to maintain the Contractor’s operation. At MOTCO only, the contractor s’ communication services will be ordered and paid for by the contractor and placed in a location designated by the DOIM by the commercial service provider. If the MOTCO MPOE is moved in the future for any reason, the contractor will be financially responsible for moving those services to the new MOTCO MPOE, utilizing the DOIMs’ recommended vendor.

c. Wire cables, turnbuckles, shackles, clips, lumber, dunnage, chocking, and blocking materials may be required in the performance of the services hereunder. All supplies purchased by the contractor with prior approval of the COR will become property of the Government. The Government shall reimburse the contractor for such materials/supplies as an out-of-pocket cost. These materials will be used in performance of work under this contract and are obtained for and on behalf of the Government, who shall be the owner thereof at the time of acquisition. Serviceable material/supplies recovered from down-loading ships or unstuffed TEUs will be reused. Dunnage and lashing materials, furnished by contractor will be of grade, quality, size, and dimensions suitable for the intended use and meeting international regulatory requirements. The Contractor shall deliver these materials to shipside or other designated location(s), as required. When the contractor furnishes any materials from their own stock, they shall submit a signed certification listing such materials with itemized costs. The COR’s certification, indicating prior approval of the quantity and prices will be presented with the invoice for reimbursement, otherwise reimbursement will not be made.

d. [Note: A fully functional office shall be securable and within one-quarter mile of government cargo and the dock. As a minimum, it must have ventilation, controllable heating, at least eight (8) 110-volt outlets, sufficient lighting for reading and writing, five (5) work tables (banquet style), or the equivalent height of counter space, twelve (12) chairs with back support, and access to functional restrooms.]

6.2 SCOPE OF VESSEL OPERATIONS

6.2.1 The contractor shall provide Stevedoring and Related Terminal Services for the movement of military cargo, to include containerized cargo, conventional break-bulk cargo or, containerized and/or break-bulk A,A&E

(MOTCO only, except for limited quantities of small arms ammunition treated as general cargo), military vehicle rolling stock (wheeled and tracked), and equipment through designated California ports in support of the national/strategic military interests of the United States of America. MOTCO anticipates an average of 2.5 A,A&E vessel events for full load/discharge (per year), in addition to possible “Call Forward” A,A&E cargo movement exercise, for which the scheduling is subject to the needs of the government. Movements at the commercial ports have previously been in support of small (9 or fewer ships) contingency deployments and re-deployments, lasting less than 2 months duration. San Diego can anticipate .5 vessel event movements per year. Oakland can anticipate

.5 vessel event movements per year. Port Hueneme is expected to have 8 vessel event movements per year.

The contractor also may, during contingency operations be required to support in-stream cargo operations at any of the designated ports.

6.2.2 The contractor also may, during contingency operations be required to support in-stream cargo operations at any of the designated ports.

6.2.3 The Contractor shall order labor based upon agreement with Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).

The contractor shall also provide qualified personnel to perform S&RTS in support of government water terminal cargo transfer operations. Specific additional post-training dispatches are required for contractor TMHE/V operators at MOTCO. By nature of MOTCO’s mission, the port is not to be used as TMHE/V training/orientation location for any licensed but inexperienced contractor operators. The contractor shall ensure any contractor

TMHE/V operator has successfully performed their dispatched operator duties in previous on-the-job assignments before being dispatched to MOTCO. Additionally, any gantry crane or ship’s gear signalmen must be actually gantry crane licensed operators to work as a signalman at MOTCO. The contractor must maintain current records of qualifications and training completed. These records must be made available upon request from the COR.

6.2.4 The Contractor shall communicate to the COR any labor/equipment shortfalls and make every effort to rectify shortfalls.

6.3 Contingency Operations at Commercial Ports

If contractor facilities at any of these commercial ports do not accommodate a port-specific military deployment terminal requirement, the contractor shall, upon approval of the ACO, arrange for additional space. This is usually

750,000 sq ft accessible, contiguous flat surface staging, free of dirt with suitable drainage and 1250’ of berthing with minimum 35’ depth alongside at MLLW per vessel operation and other such within-port temporary terminal facilities with the port authority. The contractor may also be tasked to obtain temporary administrative facilities such as double-wide office suitable trailers, equipment and services for the government’s terminal mission administrative functions within the temporary facility. Contractor will be reimbursed for any prior-approved out-of-pocket costs directly related to providing any such additional-facility assistance for the government.

6.4 Locations: Types of Cargo

This contract covers the handling of DoD sponsored export and import general military cargo through the military terminal at Port Hueneme, as well as routine or contingency military movements through the commercial ports of

Oakland and San Diego, California. Both general military & A,A&E cargo may move through MOTCO.

6.5 Scope of Terminal(s) and Operations (MOTCO)

a. At MOTCO, most munitions shipments will predominately be containerized in 20’ TEUs w/8 ½’ height and mostly received on COFC rail cars. Two commercial rail carriers deliver rail cargo to MOTCO, using separate terminal interchange gates. A single commercial rail carrier services Port Hueneme and San

Diego. Truck trailer cargo is received, discharged, then sorted and staged per the following criteria:

segregated by the assigned Controlled Inventory Item Code (CIIC) if applicable, then by Destination

Consignee (if a multi-POD load-out), then by Hazard Class, Division and Compatibility Group. All TEUs are then usually sorted by gross weight groupings (e.g. < 10K, <25 K & >25 K).

b. The Contractor shall load and secure cargo on outbound (port clearance) conveyances (rail and truck trailer) in accordance with industry and SDDC standards.

c. Truck deliveries also routinely bring TEU containerized B/B occasionally; less than 8% cargo to MOTCO.

After clearing Pass & ID, trucks normally report to a terminal location determined by the COR to await further instructions for movement to discharge or loading. Truck movements generally account for 21 % of all cargo movements into/out of MOTCO.

d. MOTCOs’ intra-terminal rail track system at MOTCO (38 miles of track) is very extensive. Railcar staging consists of two significant rail staging yards, four rail-to-trailer transfer areas, and two rail-to-container transfer facilities. Container on Flat Car (COFC) rail movements account for 85% of all munitions movements into/out of MOTCO. Every effort is made to work the terminal efficiently. However, operational delays of up to 25 minutes per sequence can result from shifting strings of railcars and road-movement restrictions as locomotives pass through multiple unguarded intra-terminal railroad crossings and switch-backs to exchange empty for loaded railcars. The Contractor shall raise and position corner pockets within COFC rail cars to accept TEUs, reporting any non-operational TEU locking pins or hooks the COR or designated COR representative. The Contractor shall be responsible for the proper loading and securing of TEUs onto container –on-flatcars railcars, to include ensuring when available all four locking corner pins are properly and fully locked onto the bottom ISO container corner fittings. Any contractor labor needed for follow-on corrections of post-load-up identified rail loading deficiencies will be performed at no additional expense to the government.

e. Carpentry Service; the contractor shall fabricate and install blocking and bracing, and coopering and other similar services as directed by the COR and IAW munition regulations.

6.6 Break bulk (B/B) munitions

Occasionally, MOTCO will receive Break bulk (B/B) A, A&E. These are usually truck deliveries. to be either held on terminal in the delivery conveyance, directly un-loaded for vessel up-load, or directly transferred into TEUs, or possibly to another temporary holding location designated by the COR. Terminal-owned rail boxcars are occasionally used for temporary on-terminal secure holding. The S&RTS contractor will not be tasked to manage, move or control, monitor NEW or report on munitions-laden boxcars or rail cars in the terminal once they have been pulled out of any sited contractor work area. The contractor us expected to manage “grounded” munitions, or A<

A&E staged on, but not pulled from within any CoRA-sited, COR-designated B/B-holding areas.

6.7 Port Missions

6.7.1 MOTCO

Import A, A&E cargo is discharged from the vessel and moved from the pier to the COR designated cargo staging areas, unless a direct-to-rail load-up is feasible. Cargo is cleared from the terminal by truck and/or railcar. Should

B/B import munitions be received, anything that cannot be expeditiously uploaded into a truck-trailer or truck dromedary that same day will be temporarily secured at a location designated by the COR, or possibly into on-terminal rail boxcars. The terminal also receives and trans-loads export A, A&E as well as occasionally moving other military general cargo as a small, partial or full military contingency deployment or re-deployment. At

MOTCO, the government reserves the right to bring in skilled military crane operators to operate the vessel or port gantry cranes.

6.7.2 Oakland

Provide service at the contractor’s facility for the SDDC-sponsored Universal Services Contract vessel, or for a small movement or a small, partial or full military contingency deployment or re-deployment.

6.7.3 San Diego

Provide service at the contractor’s facility, or at a temporary terminal arranged from within the existing commercial terminals for military use and/or at a military base (e.g. Naval Station Coronado) to support a small or partial contingency deployment or re-deployment.

6.7.4 Port Hueneme

Provide service at the contractor’s facility for the Universal Services Contract vessel, or for a small movement or a small, partial or full military contingency deployment or re-deployment.

6.8 Operations at Commercial Ports

6.8.1 Port of Oakland Operations

The Port of Oakland’s 7

Street complex is the principle commercial terminal within San Francisco Bay and serves as the main container port for Northern California, handling approximately 6% of the nation’s container vessel activity. Minimal amounts of Defense Transportation System (DTS) cargo will move thru Oakland. Small movements or full contingency operations may occur at Oakland during the contract period. The contractor must be prepared to establish terminal operations in Oakland.

6.8.2 Port of San Diego Operations

The Port of San Diego is a moderately sized commercial port. However, with its proximity to major military installations, San Diego is a designated and often-used deployment port for various military units tasked under certain DoD plans and post 9/11 deployment/ re-deployment moves. The contractor must be prepared to establish terminal operations at any port facility in San Diego. Further, as some military cargo may be better accommodated through a terminal next to an airfield, the contractor may also be tasked to load or discharge such cargo from vessels docked at military facilities. This will require special security arrangements in advance to clear in, control and transport longshoremen into North Island and to confine them to the immediate work-site for the duration of any mission there.
