001 INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL SCOPE

These SPECIFICATIONS are performance based and provide details of an RFP for the

Design/Build of one, 28-knot (at full load capacity and 85% power), catamaran ferry for use in commuter service between the City of Lynn and Boston for the City of Lynn, hereinafter referenced in these specifications as the OWNER. The vessel shall be designed and constructed to be fully capable in all respects of providing reliable, year-round service on the Lynn, MA to downtown Boston, MA route, and to be fully capable of providing seasonal service out to 20 miles from a safe harbor of refuge (Limited Coastwise).

The vessel shall have four (4) resiliently mounted diesel engines that meet all applicable

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Emission Standards for newly manufactured marine engines of their class at such time that the construction of the vessel commences (in conformance with EPA Emissions Standards “keel laying” requirements); four (4) waterjets; and two auxiliary generators. The vessel shall conform to all of the regulations that apply to a 46 CFR Subchapter

“T” Passenger Vessel with a Gross Regulatory Tonnage not to exceed 100GT (Gross Tons).

The vessel’s construction and service life shall comply with Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funding requirements. The Minimum Service Life of this vessel shall be (25) twenty-five years, as detailed in the latest version of FTA circulars 4220.1 and 5010.1. The CONTRACTOR is to comply with the provisions of the FTA Buy America requirements, where applicable, and as detailed in the Terms and Conditions.

References to particular manufacturers, vendors, or products are NOT to be interpreted as an endorsement by the OWNER. Such references are provided for information and guidance as to products which will be suitable, and to assist the CONTRACTOR in assessing and meeting the material and operational requirements of the proposed vessel. The CONTRACTOR shall make all reasonable efforts to select products and components for use in the vessel that would be expected to be supported by their manufacturers for ten (10) years after the date of vessel acceptance. Should this not be possible, as in the case of software, or should a part for which there is no competitive equivalent available in the market place become unavailable through the

CONTRACTOR during that time period, the CONTRACTOR agrees to assist the OWNER with drawings and specifications to facilitate component procurement by the OWNER when necessary.

The CONTRACTOR shall deliver the vessel to the OWNER at a facility designated, which will be located in the greater Boston, MA harbor or Lynn, MA. Upon delivery, all vessel systems shall be in operation, and ready for service. The CONTRACTOR shall assist the OWNER in obtaining a valid USCG Certificate of Inspection.

A “Z” bow configuration shall be considered to be advantageous; however, proposals are not limited to “Z” bow designs, and Contractor shall propose a bow configuration that is best suited to the Lynn service.

Passenger embarking and debarking shall be provided both over the bow and at side loading stations P&S aft giving access to the interior main deck passenger cabin. The U-shaped dock at the Lynn Terminal has a length of 60-70 feet along the sides, meaning that any side loading of the vessel would have to be positioned within the front 60-70 feet of the vessel. There are currently no provisions for bow loading at the Lynn Terminal.

Bow loading terminals are equipped with floating piers and are intended to be used with minimal height differential from dock surface to vessel deck. CONTRACTOR shall indicate in their proposal how their design will provide boarding and alighting over the bow without the use of stairs. Side loading terminals are equipped with floating piers that may require pier side modifications to meet ADA requirements. It is the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR to maintain open communication with the OWNER as to the details of bow and side loading requirements so that the vessels are outfitted to mate with pier structures and ramps in conformance with ADA regulations and the OWNER’s operational requirements.

004.3 GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS

CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for designing a vessel that is suitable for year round commuter service from Lynn to Boston. It must be suitable for use at major docks in the

Boston Harbor area, including Long Wharf, Rowes Wharf, Fan Pier, World Trade Center, and

Logan Airport as well as at Lynn’s Blossom Street Dock. While the final dimensions of the vessel shall be determined by the CONTRACTOR’s design, estimated approximate dimensions and characteristics are as follows:

Maximum Length Overall (approximate) 29 meters (95 feet)

Maximum Beam Overall (approximate) 10.4 meters (34 feet)

Maximum Draft (approximate) 1.5 meters (4.9 feet)

Top Speed: The vessel shall achieve a Trial Speed of

30 knots while carrying the Sea Trial

Deadweight detailed in Section 982.

Service Speed: 28 knots at 85% power while carrying the Sea Trial Deadweight detailed in

Section 982

Tank volumes for potable water, sewage and fuel oil shall be designed such that servicing is required no more frequently than once per day. This shall assume a maximum service day of

18 hours and 10 round trips between Lynn and Boston.

004.4 PVAG REQUIREMENTS

The vessel shall comply with all applicable accessibility laws and regulations applicable at the time of submission of proposal by the CONTRACTOR, including requirements documented in the United States Access Board (USAB) Draft Passenger Accessibility

Guidelines (PVAG) as published in the Federal Register on June 25, 2013, United States

Department of Justice (DOJ), United States Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal

Transit Administration (FTA), and Massachusetts Architectural Access Board (MAAB).

Within ninety (90) days of NTP, CONTRACTOR shall submit to OWNER for approval, arrangement drawings to demonstrate compliance with ADA requirements [CDRL 4-1].

PVAG Guideline references are provided in the following paragraphs for general guidance only. It shall be the CONTRACTOR’s responsibility to carefully review the applicability of all USAB PVAG 2013 Guidelines in respect to their proposed vessel design and to design in accordance with all applicable Sections.

ADA passenger access (PVAG Section V206) is mandatory from the main deck bow loading area and main deck side loading areas, port and starboard, to all areas of the main deck passenger spaces, including the commissary counter, ADA-accessible passenger head, aisles between seating and table sections, luggage stowage racks, etc. Accessible ADA seating, which is comparable to the exterior passenger seating available on the upper deck, shall be made available on the main deck. Aisle widths, wheelchair turning radii, table and seating configuration and construction, thresholds, door forces, etc. shall be carefully adhered to

(PVAG Sections V221 & V802).

The ADA passenger head shall be fully accessible in all respects, including, but not limited to door width and force, turning radii, toilet configuration, transfer bars, sink, mirror, towel and tissue dispensers, and baby changing table (PVAG Sections V213 & V603, V604, V606, V609).

The commissary counter shall be fully accessible (PVAG Sections V227, V308, V904).

OWNER-approved, raised text/Braille signage shall be provided for all passenger accessible spaces, do not enter rooms/areas, etc. (PVAG Sections V216, V703). All communication equipment shall be designed and operated to ensure customer service information is broadcast in dual-mode (audibly and visually) (PVAG Sections V219, V706).

All interior passenger elements not specifically addressed by PVAG, shall conform with US

DOT 49 CFR Part 37 (and Subpart C) as well as 49 CFR Part 39.

ADA Passenger Vessel Accessibility Guidelines can be viewed at:

http://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2013/06/25/2013-14367/passenger-vessels-accessibility-guidelines

The vessel design shall adequately address the requirements of PVAG Section V206 and all other applicable sections. The vessel design will provide for passenger boarding and http://www.federalregister.gov/articles/ debarking on the main deck only. It is anticipated that the design will not provide ADA access to the upper deck. The design, however, will provide for open deck passenger access on the upper deck. Therefore, a comparable open deck area must be provided for ADA access on the main deck. (Note PVAG Section V206.2.1 and applicable exceptions in sub-sections).

These SPECIFICATIONS interpret PVAG 2013 Section V206.1 as:

1. If a non-disabled passenger can access an open deck area, a disabled passenger must also be provided access to an open deck area that provides an equivalent experience.

2. If an open deck area is provided on the upper deck that is not accessible, an open deck area providing a reasonably similar experience shall be provided on the main deck.

3. If an open deck area is provided on the upper deck that provides wind screens and/or protection from the elements and/or vessel spray and is not accessible, an open deck area providing reasonably similar wind screens and/or protection from the elements and/or vessel spray shall be provided on the main deck.

4. CONTRACTOR’s design shall be subject to OWNER approval.
