75. Cancellation Fee: The Contractor and Government agree the purpose of this clause is to induce the Contractor to offer to and to provide the required services when the Contractor otherwise would not offer to provide them because of the Contractor’s inability to recover its out-of-pocket costs in the event the Government does not exercise an option to extend the term of the contract or terminates the contract for the convenience of the Government.

In the event the Government does not exercise an option to extend the term of the contract or terminates the contract for convenience, the Contractor shall be entitled to not-to-exceed cancellation costs subject to the following conditions and according to the following schedule:

Prior to Delivery $ (of vessel) Vessel acquisition $ Reflagging $ Conversion/Modification $ During Fixed Performance Period $ Vessel acquisition $ Reflagging $ Conversion/Modification $

During 1st Option Performance Period $ Vessel acquisition $ Reflagging $ Conversion/Modification $

During 2nd Option Performance Period $ Vessel acquisition $ Reflagging $ Conversion/Modification $

During 3rd Option Performance Period $ Vessel acquisition $ Reflagging $ Conversion/Modification $

During 4th Option Performance Period $

Vessel acquisition $ Reflagging $ Conversion/Modification $

"Cancellation costs" means, and only means, costs specifically identified by the Contractor in its proposal and actually incurred by the Contractor between contract award and vessel delivery to the Government including, and limited to, the following categories of costs: costs incurred by the Contractor for vessel acquisition, reflagging costs and modification, or conversion costs, and only to the extent such modification, or conversion costs were incurred in order for the vessel to meet contract requirements. The Government has sufficient working capital funds for these cancellation costs.

When requesting payment of cancellation costs, the Contractor shall provide evidence satisfactory to the Contracting Officer verifying that Contractor actually incurred the specified categories of cancellation costs prior to delivery of the vessel to the Government and the amount thereof.

The cancellation costs must be reasonable, allowable, and allocable to the contract as defined in FAR 31.201. The Government will not be obligated in any event to reimburse the Contractor for the specified categories of cancellation costs in excess of the amount allotted in the schedule above for each contract period regardless of anything to the contrary in the clause entitled "Termination for Convenience of the Government." The Contractor agrees that payment of the specified cancellation costs according to the schedule above for any contract period fully compensates the Contractor for the specified categories of cancellation costs. The Contractor waives any right it may have to claim any additional costs for the specified categories of cancellation costs in the event such cancellation costs become payable, whether as a result of a termination for convenience or as a result of the Government's failure to exercise an option. As used in this clause, the total amount payable by the Government for the specified categories of cancellation costs in the event the Government does not exercise an option or terminates the contract for convenience is as set forth in the schedule above.

This clause does not limit the rights of the Government under the clauses entitled “Default,” “Termination for Convenience of the Government,” “Loss of Vessel,” “No Cost Cancellation – Deficiencies,” “Remedies,” or “Excessive Time Lost.” The clauses entitled “Default,” “Loss of Vessel,” “No Cost Cancellation – Deficiencies,” “Remedies,” and “Excessive Time Lost” are not subject to cancellation costs.

Note: Pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 2401, the Government is prohibited from entering into a vessel charter that contains a substantial termination liability. Offerors who submit substantial termination liabilities will not be considered for award. A substantial termination liability is defined by the statute as:

i. An agreement by the U.S., under the contract, to pay an amount equal to or greater than 25% of the value of the vessel for the termination liability; or

ii. An agreement by the U.S., under the contract, to pay an amount equal to or greater than 50% of the value of the vessel for the sum of the termination liability and the value of the total payments attributable to capital-hire.

B-2 CHARTER HIRE

B-2 CHARTER HIRE

B-2.1 Hire Rates. Charter hire for services under this Charter Party shall be payable at the applicable rates stipulated in Boxes 13–15 and shall be earned at the expiration of each fifteen (15) days of the charter period. Except as otherwise provided herein, said hire rates shall be considered payment in full for all services of the Vessel and Associated Equipment under this Charter including all overtime, penalty time, bonuses, payments, and emoluments payable to Master, Officers, and crew for services under this Charter, irrespective of the geographic scope of said service. Said hire rates are exclusive of the costs of fuel and port charges, which are addressed at Section H-20 (Fuel) and H-30 (Port Charges and Expenses), respectively.

B-2.2 Loss of Vessel. Should the Vessel be either lost or missing, or become a constructive total loss, this

Charter shall terminate and hire shall cease to be payable at the time of her loss or, if said time is unknown, at the time of the Vessel’s last received communication. If the Vessel should be off hire or missing when a payment of hire would otherwise be due, payment shall be made for all hire due for the charter period until the Vessel was lost or the last communication was received. Thereafter, payment shall be postponed until the off-hire period ceases or the safety of the Vessel is ascertained, as the case may be.

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

SECTION C

C-1 GENERAL

C-1.1 Mission. A vessel shall serve as host ship for Naval Special Warfare (NSW) and will be based in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. This vessel will be utilized primarily for training purposes. Specifically, the vessel will be used to launch and recover Dry Combatant Submersibles (DCS), SEAL Delivery Vehicles (SDVs), Dry Deck Shelter Hanger Training Systems and their supporting surface safety boats, and U.S. Navy Divers. It will also be used for simulated ship attack, training for under hull surveys, and training for anchoring and loitering. The vessel will have berthing and facilities for forty-five (45) personnel in addition to the ship’s crew and shall operate for forty-five (45) days without re-supply. The vessel shall host a mix of the following craft: up to two SEAL Delivery Vehicles (SDV), one Dry Combat Submersible (DCS) or DDS Hanger Trainer, and support craft including up to two Personal Water Craft (PWC), two Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs) and six Combat Rubber Raiding Craft (CRRC). The vessel shall be able to launch and recover all craft and allow for craft replenishment and limited maintenance. In addition, the vessel will provide equipment stowage, messing, berthing, administrative and operational space, maintenance space, emergency towing, and logistics services of Maritime Security Operations. Vessel facilities are to be available during both day and night time operations. The vessel shall maintain International Association of Classification (IACS) certification/classification and operate all deck equipment to include cranes, winches, vessel launch and recovery systems, and all refueling evolutions/stations. The vessel shall be used to provide hyperbaric chamber services for emergencies and routine decompression operations, replenishment/minor maintenance support, and personnel support. The vessel shall store flares (in a pyrotechnic Ready Service Locker (RSL)) and gasoline, and shall carry a certified United States Navy (USN) hyperbaric chamber.

C-1.2 Concept of Operations: The vessel will be a support vessel to load out and support up to two primary systems at once (DCS, SDV, DDS Hanger Trainer). A normal primary system load out is comprised of one (1) DCS or (1) DDS Hanger Trainer, and two SDV(s). Prior to launching a system, the vessel shall arrive at the prescribed launch point and establish station keeping. The vessel will display the necessary flags and signals for conducting small boat operations and launching/recovering submersibles. Government will coordinate all griping and stowing for sea of systems and deck gear with the vessel. The vessel will launch two 11m RIBs or CRRCs that will stay waterborne throughout the evolution as safety boats. The vessel operator will coordinate ship's position and navigation conditions with the government’s representative and launch the system to be operated. This may or may not include putting divers in the water for launch and recovery requirements. After launch, the vessel and government will coordinate the vessel’s movement to ensure radio and underwater communications are maintained. The vessel will coordinate with the government representative for recovering the system. Government will coordinate all griping and stowing for sea of systems and deck gear with the vessel. When operations are complete, the vessel shall recover the safety boats (RIBs/CRRCs), and resume unlimited control of the ship. The vessel shall be able to launch/recover one primary system at a time.

C-1.3 Area of Operations. The vessel will be home ported at Pearl City Peninsula at Pearl Harbor, HI.

The vessel will normally operate in, but not be restricted to, Pearl Harbor, HI, Apra Harbor, Guam, Keyport, WA and the outer islands of Hawaii. The vessel shall be able to operate in a wide range of areas worldwide.

It is intended for the vessel to be on station conducting independent operations in a remote environment or operate at anchor for extended periods. The vessel should be able to make transits via the Panama Canal as needed. The vessel may be reassigned to the U.S. East Coast with 30 days’ notification. Operational control (OPCON) will be SEAL Delivery Team One (SDVT-1).

C-1.4 Operating Tempo (OPTEMPO).

(1) Schedule (OPTEMPO): 24 hours/day operations required, seven days a week, whether at sea or in port.

(2) Percent of time underway at 12kt transit speed: 30%

(3) Percent of time underway at anchor/loiter (<5 knots): 30%

(4) Percent of time in port: 40% (Up to half of this time may be spent in a port other than homeport).

C-1.5 Operational Support.

Services shall be 24 hour a day support to include but not be limited to the following:

• Launch and recovery of small boats, Divers, RIBs, PWC, DCS, CRRC(s), and SDV.

• Refueling small craft onboard and alongside.

• Logistical support (i.e. messing, berthing, communications, and physical training facilities, etc.)

• At sea transfer of personnel and cargo alongside or astern in up to Sea State 3 conditions. (Hereafter

Sea State will refer to the unit of measure for the Beaufort Scale.)

• Navigation inputs to government furnished equipment (GFE) trackers, plotters, and ancillary equipment.

• INMARSAT communications for ship to shore unclassified communications.

C-1.6 Endurance. The vessel must be capable of supporting at-sea operation for up to 45 days without resupply. In addition, the support ship shall be able to operate in up to and including Sea State 5 conditions in both equatorial and arctic waters. It shall be able to conduct launch and recovery of small boats, Divers, RIBs, PWC, DCS and SDVs in up to Sea State 3 conditions.

C-1.7 Certifications.

The vessel shall be inspected or certified by the USCG under 46 CFR Chapter 1, SubChapter I. At a minimum, the vessel, launch and recovery systems, cranes, weight handling equipment, and unique shipboard storage appliances shall be maintained and shall be certified by either the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) (A1 AMS) or an International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) member society.
