STATEMENT OF WORK

USS MOUNT WHITNEY (LCC 20)

Integrated Bridge System and Pilot House Upgrades Design, Build & Installation Support Technical and Performance Specification

1. Overview:

1.1. This contract requires the services of a company specializing in Integrated Bridge Systems (IBS) to design, build, provide installation support services and testing of a commercial grade IBS on USS Mount Whitney (LCC 20) with attendant upgrades and rearrangement of the Pilot House (03-64-0-C) and related spaces. The design portion of this contract is to be initially awarded with two additional contract options, each to be exercised at the Government’s discretion with subsequent funding. The first option will be to perform equipment procurement/fabrication and testing of major system components associated with the design of the initial contract. The second will be to provide shipyard installation support for the same. System design, fabrication, and installation shall meet applicable ABS, USCG, and IEEE requirements.

2. Background:

2.1. The USS Mount Whitney has been in commission approximately 45 years and is at the end of her designed service life. The decision has been made to extend her service life for approximately 30 more years. This extension in service life is to be facilitated by major modifications and repairs that are to be coordinated by the Extended Service Life Plan (ESLP). The initial phase of the ESLP conducted an Extended Sustainability Assessment (ESA) to identify the systems and equipment that would require major modification or repair to support operating the ship an additional 30 years.

2.2. The existing navigation systems and Pilot House arrangement are typical of a Navy combatant.

2.3. The original operational mode of the vessel was entirely run by only US Navy personnel. The current operational mode is now split between MSC licensed civil service mariner (CIVMAR) personnel and US Navy personnel. CIVMAR’s are responsible for the operation of the vessel, this includes all housekeeping services, operating and maintaining all of the vessels machinery and equipment related to the movement of the vessel, as well as all of the navigational responsibilities. The US Navy personnel are responsible for all aspects of the ship’s mission. A US Navy Captain is the overall commander of the vessel, and a USCG licensed Captain CIVMAR, Officer In Charge (OIC, is responsible for all of MSC’s personnel. Both organizations operate as a team to run the vessel.

2.4. An Integrated Bridge System (IBS) and rearrangement of the Pilot House, related spaces and equipment upgrades are required so that the MSC manned Navigation Department can safely and efficiently operate the vessel in all required conditions and evolutions for the extended service life of the vessel.

3. Objective:

3.1. The purpose of this requirement is to reconfigure and upgrade the navigation systems of the USS Mount Whitney to ensure compliance with current and projected regulatory requirements and to suit operation by CIVMAR personnel. The intention of the reconfiguration is to convert the Pilot House (including chart room) operating space to a normal CIVMAR operated Bridge while maintaining the Commanding Officer (CO) station for the Navy Captain. The contract will have three phases:

3.1.1. Base Period- Engineering & Design
