USNS ZEUS LIFEBOAT SYSTEM

Performance Work Statement (PWS)

1. Background

1.1. The Military Sealift Command (MSC) is replacing the lifeboats, davits and winches on the USNS ZEUS. To conserve boat deck space, the existing open-topped lifeboats and their associated davits and winches will be removed to provide deck space for new lifeboats and their associated davits and winches. This item describes the technical, performance, and other requirements for the procurement of two (2) lifeboat systems. A lifeboat system is defined as one (1) SOLAS lifeboat, one (1) SOLAS lifeboat davit, and one (1) SOLAS lifeboat winch and shall also include spares, technical manuals, and testing. It is MSC’s intention to install one lifeboat system on each side, port and starboard, on the USNS ZEUS.

2. General Requirements

2.9. The lifeboats, davits, and winches shall be delivered complete with all necessary components and fluids, and be ready for installation and subsequent operation. Installation shall only require direct welding or bolting of the davits and winches to the ship’s deck or a foundation built upon the deck, filling the fluids, rigging all wires, and connection to the ship’s electric power.

3. Additional Lifeboat Requirements

3.1. Passenger Capacity and Access

3.1.1. The USCG approved capacity when used in the role of a Lifeboat shall be at a minimum120.

3.2. Hull Construction and Fittings

3.3. Main Propulsion

3.4. Speed and Endurance

When fully loaded and operating as a Lifeboat:

3.5. Tankage

3.5.1. Fuel Oil (FO) tanks shall be constructed of non-corrosive metal. If multiple FO tanks are provided, then they shall be capable of being isolated from each other and connected to each other via valve lineups. Each FO tank shall have access to permit manual cleaning. Fill connections and vents for all FO tanks shall terminate outside the cabin. The entire FO system shall be compliant with applicable pollution prevention regulations for SOLAS compliant lifeboats.

3.6. Electrical Systems

3.7. Additional Equipment and Requirements. In accordance with Section 2.1, each lifeboat shall come equipped with all required USCG items. The following requirements also apply:

3.7.1. The control/steering console shall have the following controls and indicators at a minimum:

- Steering Controls

- Throttle Controls

- Public Address System Controls

- Engine Temperature Indicator (one per engine)

- Engine RPM Indicator (one per engine)

- Rudder Angle Indicator (one per rudder)

- Fuel Level Indicator (one per Fuel Oil tank)

- Depth Indicator

- Speed Indicator

- Magnetic Compass

4. Additional Davit and Winch Requirements

4.1. Hoisting control shall be positioned on the deck at the ship’s side and provide the operator 100% visual contact with the tender/lifeboat during the hoisting operation.

4.2. The davit and winch shall be provided with wire rope of sufficient length for use aboard the ship. The determination of the required length of wire rope shall account for the distance between the boat deck edge and the light waterline with 10º of adverse trim and 20º of adverse heel. That distance is defined as 65’ 0” above baseline. Note that this distance does not account for wave action, the length of wire rope required to rig the davit, or provide a minimum number of turns on the winch drum.

4.3. Davits shall be designed and arranged such that the lifeboats will clear the ship’s deck edge railings during launching and recovery operations.

5. Spares

5.2. A list of all recommended shipboard spare parts, sufficient for two years (assuming 1,000 operating hours during a two-year period for each tender/lifeboat system and 40 launch/retrieve cycles during a two-year period for each davit winch system) of normal recommended maintenance practice, shall also be provided. The list shall include itemized pricing and delivery schedule (expressed as days after receipt of order) for each item on the list.

6. Quality Assurance

6.1. MSC reserves the right to make whatever inspections are deemed necessary during the period of the contract to ensure compliance with this PWS.

6.2. Final acceptance is contingent on satisfactory completion of all testing required in Section 7 and USCG lifeboat certification.

6.3. The Contractor shall provide, at the time of delivery, material USCG certification documents for all principal structural components in the lifeboat and davit.

7. Testing

7.1. Factory Tests. The following tests shall be performed at the Contractor’s facility and shall be performed on each lifeboat, davit, and winch prior to delivery:

7.2. Sea Trials. Prior to acceptance, the Contractor shall perform a successful sea trial of each lifeboat, not to exceed three hours per boat. Government Representative(s), appointed by MSC, will attend the sea trials; however, the Contractor shall provide a crew to operate the lifeboat. The sea trials will take place at the Contractor’s facility. The sea trials will be an operational test of each lifeboat and shall verify the following:

8. Manuals/Operating Procedures/Training

8.2. Maintenance Plan. The Contractor shall submit a Maintenance Plan which identifies recommended Operational (ship crew), Intermediate (industrial assistance needed), and Depot (industrial assistance needed) maintenance requirements for the davit, winch, lifeboat, and major components of the lifeboat. The Maintenance Plan shall include all testing, inspection, periodicity of performance, narrative, and material replacement renewal requirements. In addition, the Contractor shall provide a detailed specification and estimated labor hours for all Intermediate and Depot level maintenance that provides step-by-step instruction to execute the maintenance through commercial industrial assistance. Wherever possible, the Mean Time between Failures (based on operating hours), Expected Service Life, and Total Ownership Costs (based on Expected Service Life) shall be provided for all major components of the complete and installed system.

9. Definitions

9.1. Full Load: The vessel has all systems charged meaning that all fresh water, cooling, lubricating, hydraulic, and fuel service header tanks, piping and equipment systems are filled with their normal operating fluids. Crew and effects are at their normal values. Consumables (provisions, potable water and fuel) are at 100% capacity. Ammunition and/or cargo are at maximum capacity. The vessel is at its limiting draft or legal load line.

9.2. Marine Gas Oil/Distillate Fuel Marine: Commercially available distillate fuel with the following characteristics:

9.5. Endurance: The length of time, in hours, that a vessel can spend at a defined speed. This is a function of the MCR required for the defined speed, the fuel consumption at that MCR, and the overall fuel capacity.

9.6. Major subsystems: Main Propulsion System (includes engines, shafts, gearing, and cooling systems), Steering, HVAC (heating, ventilating, air conditioning), Radars, Electrical Generator(s), and davit winch system (includes wire rope).

9.7. Maintenance and Repair (M&R): Includes material/parts, labor, and periodicity for the periodic, planned, and preventive (i.e., inspections and testing) maintenance.

9.8. Lifeboat system: One (1) SOLAS lifeboat, one (1) SOLAS lifeboat davit, and one (1) SOLAS lifeboat winch and shall also include spares, technical manuals, and testing.
