STATEMENT OF WORK

Statement of Work United States Naval Academy

Naval Academy Hydromechanics Laboratory

380ft. Towing Tank Wavemaker

1. Background. The Naval Academy Hydromechanics Laboratory (NAHL) features a 380 FT towing tank with the following dimensions: 380 ft. (116.0 m) length, 26 ft. (7.9 m) width, and 16 ft. (4.9 m) water depth. Typically, the towing tank supports a wide variety of activities for the United States Naval Academy (USNA) focusing primarily on Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering (NAOE) courses/electives and diverse student/faculty research. The current dual-flap wavemaker has a servo-hydraulic control with a dry back and is nearly 50 years old. The vendor of the wavemaker no longer fabricates, installs, or supports wavemaking systems and replacement parts are difficult to get. Frequent system faults occur which negatively affect the educational and research missions of the NAHL. The existing wavemaker is mounted to a foundation approximately 56.5 IN (1.435 m) above the base level of the tank.

2. Objectives. The primary aim of this procurement effort is to purchase a new wavemaker (including wavemaking software) for the NAHL 380 ft. towing tank. Successful installation/operation of a new wavemaker in the 380 ft.

towing tank will improve NAHL operations in the 380 ft. towing tank and be used to mitigate the technical risk of future investment/procurement activities.

3. Scope. This procurement is exclusively limited to the purchase/installation of one wavemaker (and associated operating software) for the NAHL 380 ft. towing tank. Work required includes removal from USNA property and proper disposal of the existing wave making system, installation of a new, state of the art system including training, technical data, essential spare parts, and details related to warranty, software, and maintenance. Required structural and foundation work must be planned and supported.

4. Requirements. The following requirements relate to this procurement effort:

b. Electrical System:

i. All drive power and feedback sensor interconnecting wiring shall be insulated and protected against physical damage per local building codes and the National Electric Code.

Towing Tank at the USNA.

The 380 ft. towing Tank is described as follows:

This tank is equipped with two towing carriages, a dual-flap wave maker, and a wave absorbing beach. The smaller carriage is lighter and capable of towing small models at higher speeds. The larger carriage is heavier and used to tow large models at lower speeds. Both carriages are set up with platforms to carry ten or more students, allowing close-up observation of the underway test subject/model. The center section of the tank’s beach can be lowered to allow access to a finger pier for ballasting and setting up experiments while the tank is being used for other tests. Measurements from sensors on towed models are monitored and recorded using an onboard computer. Digital measurement records and live HD video signals are transferred to the shore-based control room using wireless networks. Measurement records can be evaluated/analyzed onboard the carriage and in the control room.

This tank has been used to test a wide variety of models, including ships, submarines, planing hulls, hydrofoils, surface-effect craft, SWATHs, sailboats, offshore platforms, wave buoys, diving systems, mine arrays, pilings, etc. The tank has also been used to study wave motions and forces without the use of models.
