22. Other Costs (continued):

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 or layberth) $ 0.00

During Fixed Performance Period

$ 0.00

During 1st Option Performance Period $ 0.00

During 2nd Option Performance Period $ 0.00

During 3rd Option Performance Period $ 0.00

During 4th Option Performance Period $ 0.00

"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 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 will ensure it 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. 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 clause entitled "Default" or under the clause entitled "Termination for Convenience of the Government."

Note: Pursuant to 10 USC§2401, the Government is prohibited from entering into a vessel lease or 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 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 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.

SECTION C - DESCRIPTIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS

The following have been modified:

SECTION C

SECTION C

C-1.0 GENERAL

C-1.1 Scope of Work/Mission: The following paragraphs describe the general scope of the Performance Work Statement.

C-1.2 Mission: The vessel shall serve as host/support ship for at-sea operations conducted by the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City (NSWC-PC). At-sea operations shall include deployment and recovery of inert or live mines and test instrumentation and objects, the tow of surface and submerged vehicles, housing and support of test data acquisition equipment and personnel, deployment and recovery of subsea equipment, Remote Operating Vehicle (ROV) operations, and on-station monitoring. The vessel shall be required to follow computer generated track lines while towing sonars or other towed systems. The vessel shall be required to accurately hold station while subsea equipment is deployed or recovered using the vessel’s crane from its stern. The vessel shall be required to hold station while an ROV is being deployed and operated over the side of the vessel.

C-1.3 Operational Support: Services shall include, but not be limited to the following:

a. Deployment and recovery of up to fifty (50) inert or live mines and test instrumentation and objects

b. Tow of surface and submerged vehicles

c. Housing and support of test data acquisition equipment and personnel

d. Deployment and recovery of subsea equipment/systems

e. Remote Operating Vehicle (ROV) operations

f. Guard Duty (for guarding shallow targets in an area in the Gulf of Mexico) C-1.4 Operational Control (OPCON): Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City (NSWC-PC).

C-1.5 Area of Operations: The vessel will operate in the Panama City, FL area out 60 miles for 90% of the time. The remaining 10% of operational time may require the ship to operate away from Panama City, FL in locations such as Corpus Christi, TX in the Gulf of Mexico, Norfolk, VA in the Atlantic Ocean out 200 miles, the Florida Keys, Bahamas, or other distant locations.

C-1.6 Estimated Operating Tempo Scenario (One-Year Period): 24 hours a day, seven days a week, whether at sea or in port:

a. Percent of time underway at less than 15 knots:

15%

b. Percent of time at anchor:

5%

c. Percent of time underway 15 knots or greater:

20%

d. Percent of time in port:

60%

NOTE - The Government shall provide at least 24 hour notice of its intent to get the vessel underway while the vessel is in port.

A typical operation scenario requires the vessel to conduct the evolution underway and return to the Naval Support Activity (NAVSUPPACT) to offload. Pier side load-outs and offloads are accomplished by the Government utilizing the crane support assets at the NAVSUPPACT during regular working hours. The nature of Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) missions often results in unexpected program delays. The majority of operations are daily where the vessel gets underway from the NAVSUPPACT in the morning and returns that afternoon. Deep water and remote operations, when the transit time is excessive, require the vessel to remain at-sea for the duration of the evolution, which is about 4 to 5 days or longer. While staying underway for 24 hours, 18-hour workdays supporting NAVSUPPACT personnel are normal. It is approximately 7 nautical miles (NM) from the NAVSUPPACT berthing facilities to the Gulf of Mexico. At least a quarter of daily operations’ underway time will be transiting to and from the operation area. Transit speed is limited only by safe navigation requirements.

C-1.7 Ship Clearances: The Government will secure diplomatic clearances and operational area clearances when and where required.

C-1.8 Ship Certification: The vessel shall be certified by the United States Coast Guard for the services that she will be engaged in and classed by a recognized classification society (ABS or equivalent).

C-2.0 VESSEL REQUIREMENTS

C.2.1 Vessel Characteristics: Reserved C-2.2 Flag: The vessel shall be a Jones Act-qualified, U.S. Flagged vessel.

Such mounting will allow that the deck roller or tow gimbal be removable and interchangeable. The mounting shall be such that the roller or gimbal may be affixed with bolts or other mechanical means. The gimbal and the roller each have an approximate foor print of 3 foot by 3 foot and a maximum weight of approximately 100lbs.

C-2.8 Mission Equipment (ME) Handling: The Government shall on-load and secure all ME for each mission. The ME will be self-sufficient with respect to environmental conditioning and fuel. ME will be maintained/operated by Government employees. During missions, the vessel’s crane, A-Frame and shipboard winch will be the only equipment operated by the vessel’s crew.
