IPF Miami WHE Crane and Rigging Training SOW.docx

1. GENERAL

1.1 Background

The Coast Guard must provide training for Crane Operations and Rigging for 13 personnel at the Industrial Production Facility (IPF) in Miami, FL. The unit is operating a 30 Ton Rough Terrain Crane (RTC), Grove Model #RT530E, S/N: 234162 whose personnel have limited experience with this model. This is critical to the operation of Aids to Navigation (ATON), Cutter, Facility and Small Boat availabilities at IPF Miami.

1.2 Scope

The Vendor shall furnish and supply a 40 Hour Crane Operator training course for approximately five (5) personnel and a 16 Hour Rigging training course for approximately eight (8) personnel at IPF Miami, FL. The course shall include all training aids, and course material curtailed to ASME B30.5, ANSI B30.5 and OSHA 1926.1400. Course material shall include a Mobile Cranes handbook (by James Headley – Tenth Edition or later), a Rigging handbook (by James Headley - Seventeenth Edition or later), a Rigger’s Capacity Card, and a Hand Signal card for all personnel being trained. The courses shall also provide an on-hand usage and operation of the Grove RTC. Both of these courses shall be provided within the same week to all personnel attending the training.

2. REQUIREMENTS

2.1 General

The course shall ensure compliance with all applicable regulations and standards including but not limited to American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) B30.5, American National Standards Institute (ANSI) B30.5, ANSI B56.1 and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 1926.1400.

It is expected that each performer shall receive Mobile Cranes, 10th edition (Headley, J.), Rigging, 17th edition (Headley, J.), Rigger’s Capacity Card, and a Hand Signal Card.

Each instructor provided by the Vendor must have a minimum of five (05) years Crane Operations and Rigging instructional experience. The following sections provide a description of the course content expected for each performer. The Vendor’s course shall include all of the learning objectives presented but does not have to align directly to the outline in each section. An end of course exam will be administered to each performer to ensure learning objectives have been achieved and all required government standard/qualification requirements have been met. A certificate that includes at a minimum course title, vendor contact information, learning hours and a statement regarding satisfactory completion shall be presented to each passing student.
