SALES TAX EXEMPTION

The contractor is hereby advised that the United States Government and Agencies thereof are exempt from State and Local Government tax by virtue of Article 6 of the United States Constitution. No exemption certificate is required.

1. INTRODUCTION

Program Executive Office Unmanned and Small Combatants (PEO USC), Boats and Crafts (PMS300) requires the procurement and delivery of a 60 foot (60’) aluminum Dive Support boat to Puget Sound Naval Shipyard (PSNS) located in Bremerton, WA as directed by OPNAV N97.

2. BACKGROUND

Dive Support boats serve US Navy divers in underwater ship’s husbandry, maintenance, repair, and cleaning of submarines, carriers and other assets at Naval Bases, Shipyards and other activities, and other salvage and diving operations worldwide. These boats directly support material readiness and mission readiness of submarines, surface combatants and aircraft carriers. Current assets are non-standard, 15m and 50’ workboats that are beyond their service life and have been significantly modified to meet fleet requirements.

3. SCOPE

The Contractor shall provide and deliver one (1) 60’ Dive Support (DS) boat in accordance with this Statement of Work (SOW), Paragraph 5.0 Requirements.

4. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS

N/A

5. REQUIREMENTS

5.1 GENERAL STATEMENT OF WORK

This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the effort required for the design, build, testing, configuration control, documentation, and program management for the acquisition of the Dive Support Boat.

Only the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) has the authority for the U.S. Navy to authorize or change work and sign contract documents. No other personnel are authorized by their formal communications or by their course of conduct to commit the U.S. Navy to price changes, schedule changes, or to perform different or additional work. The Contractor shall only execute tasking or requests for support under this contract when such direction comes from, or is agreed to by, the PCO.

The award of the contract does not indicate the Government has approved or certified the design provided with the proposal. The Contractor shall remain fully responsible for delivering the boat, which meets the requirements of this Contract.

5.1.1 BACKGROUND

Dive operations are primarily conducted via surface support air to conduct underwater ships husbandry for surface ship and submarine availabilities and repairs. Basic underwater ships husbandry for surface ships include cofferdam installations to support internal work, hull inspections, propeller inspections and change-outs, underwater painting and epoxy repairs, photography (both still and video), and masker emitter belt cleaning. Submarine-specific jobs include shaft bearing change-outs, retractable bow plane cofferdams, secondary propulsion motor change-outs, security swims, arrival and departure swim-outs. Umbilical systems that are sourced from the dive support boat carry breathing air, hot water (to warm dive suits), voice and video communications, and air or hydraulic hoses for power tools. For normal operations, the boat is underway in a harbor or transiting between operational sites, but spends most of its operational time moored alongside other vessels.

5.1.2 QUANTITIES

The contract is for one (1) 60’ DS boat.

5.1.3 DESIGN, MANAGEMENT AND PRODUCTION

C-222-H001 ACCESS TO THE VESSELS BY NON-U.S. CITIZENS (NAVSEA) (APR 2019)

(a) No person not known to be a U.S. citizen shall be eligible for access to naval vessels, work sites and adjacent areas when said vessels are under construction, conversion, overhaul, or repair, except upon a finding by COMNAVSEA or his designated representative that such access should be permitted in the best interest of the United States. The Contractor shall establish procedures to comply with this requirement and NAVSEAINST 5510.2D.

(b) If the Contractor desires to employ non-U.S. citizens in the performance of work under this contract or agreement that requires access as specified in paragraph (a) of this requirement, approval must be obtained prior to access for each contract or agreement where such access is required. To request such approval for non-U.S. citizens of friendly countries, the Contractor shall submit to the cognizant Contract Administration Office (CAO), an Access Control Plan (ACP) which shall contain as a minimum, the following information:

(1) Badge or Pass oriented identification, access, and movement control system for non-U.S. citizen employees with the badge or pass to be worn or displayed on outer garments at all times while on the Contractor's facilities and when performing work aboard ship.

(i) Badges must be of such design and appearance that permits easy recognition to facilitate quick and positive identification.

(ii) Access authorization and limitations for the bearer must be clearly established and in accordance with applicable security regulations and instructions.

(iii) A control system, which provides rigid accountability procedures for handling lost, damaged, forgotten or no longer required badges, must be established.

(iv) A badge or pass check must be performed at all points of entry to the Contractor's facilities or by a site supervisor for work performed on vessels outside the Contractor's plant.

(2) Contractor's plan for ascertaining citizenship and for screening employees for security risk.

(3) Data reflecting the number, nationality, and positions held by non-U.S. citizen employees, including procedures to update data as non-U.S. citizen employee data changes, and pass to cognizant CAO.

(4) Contractor's plan for ensuring subcontractor compliance with the provisions of the Contractor's ACP.

(5) These conditions and controls are intended to serve as guidelines representing the minimum requirements of an acceptable ACP. They are not meant to restrict the Contractor in any way from imposing additional controls necessary to tailor these requirements to a specific facility.

(c) To request approval for non-U.S. citizens of hostile and/or communist-controlled countries (listed in Department of Defense Industrial Security Manual, DOD 5220.22-M or available from cognizant CAO), Contractor shall include in the ACP the following employee data: name, place of birth, citizenship (if different from place of birth), date of entry to U.S., extenuating circumstances (if any) concerning immigration to U.S., number of years employed by Contractor, position, and stated intent concerning U.S. citizenship. COMNAVSEA or his designated representative will make individual determinations for desirability of access for the above group. Approval of ACP's for access of non-U.S. citizens of friendly countries will not be delayed for approval of non-U.S. citizens of hostile communist-controlled countries. Until approval is received, Contractor must deny access to vessels for employees who are non- U.S. citizens of hostile and/or communist-controlled countries.

(d) The Contractor shall fully comply with approved ACPs. Noncompliance by the Contractor or subcontractor serves to cancel any authorization previously granted, in which case the Contractor shall be precluded from the continued use of non-U.S. citizens on this contract or agreement until such time as the compliance with an approved ACP is demonstrated and upon a determination by the CAO that the Government's interests are protected. Further, the Government reserves the right to cancel previously granted authority when such cancellation is determined to be in the Government's best interest. Use of non-U.S. citizens, without an approved ACP or when a previous authorization has been canceled, will be considered a violation of security regulations. Upon confirmation by the CAO of such violation, this contract, agreement or any job order issued under this agreement may be terminated or default in accordance with the clause entitled "Default (Fixed-Price Supply and Service)" (FAR 52.249-8), "Default (Fixed-Price Research and Development)" (FAR 52.249-9) or "Termination (Cost Reimbursement)" (FAR 52.249- 6), as applicable.

(e) Prime Contractors have full responsibility for the proper administration of the approved ACP for all work performed under this contract or agreement, regardless of the location of the vessel, and must ensure compliance by all subcontractors, technical representatives and other persons granted access to U.S. Navy vessels, adjacent areas, and work sites.

(f) In the event the Contractor does not intend to employ non-U.S. citizens in the performance of the work under this contract, but has non-U.S. citizen employees, such employees must be precluded from access to the vessel and its work site and those shops where work on the vessel's equipment is being performed. The ACP must spell out how non-U.S. citizens are excluded from access to contract work areas.

(g) The same restriction as in paragraph (f) above applies to other non-U.S. citizens who have access to the Contractor's facilities (e.g., for accomplishing facility improvements, from foreign crewed vessels within its facility, etc.) except that, with respect to access to the vessel and worksite, the restrictions shall not apply to uniformed U.S.

Navy personnel who are non-U.S. citizens and who are either assigned to the ship or require access to the ship to perform their duties.
