Statement of Work – Annual Shipyard Services NOAA Research Vessel SHEARWATER

Requisition Number: NC-NM6100-23-00071 10-12-22 Haul-out Work

A] GENERAL INFORMATION:

1] This Statement of Work contains the requirements for shipyard services on the NOAA Research Vessel Shearwater (R6201).

2] The general characteristics of the vessel are as follows:

Length: 62 feet Beam: 24 feet Draft: 6 feet Displacement: 41.3 tons

3] All work is to be accomplished at the Contractor’s facility. NOAA will deliver the vessel to the Contractor’s facility, and redelivery will also be at the Contractor’s facility. The required performance period for all work defined herein is:

Haulout work - Date of award 2022 to February 24, 2023

All work must be accomplished no later than February 24, 2023, in order to conduct research and education missions in the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary.

4] Coordination of the work schedules will be the responsibility of the Contractor to avoid any delays or disruptions in order to meet the performance period. The Contractor will provide all facilities, labor, materials, tools, and services required to complete the work UNLESS exceptions are noted in the specified tasks below.

5] Upon arrival at the Contractor’s facility the contractor will accept full responsibility for the safety of the vessel, including but not limited to fire protection, security patrols, water-tight integrity, and protection from adverse environmental conditions, etc. This responsibility will terminate only after all work defined herein (or added during the work period) is complete, accepted by NOAA, and NOAA personnel remove the vessel from the Contractor’s facility.

6] NOAA employees and contractors may be working on board the vessel during the contract performance period on a not to interfere basis. During this period it will be required that these personnel have full access to the vessel during normal working hours.

7] If the vessel is hauled from the water, the Contractor will ensure that all machinery and equipment used for that purpose is fully functional, suitable for the task, rated for loads at least 20% greater than the maximum weight of the vessel, and operated by trained, competent personnel. The NOAA COTR will provide a docking plan for the vessel if requested.

8] The government reserves the right to award some or all tasks defined herein, and to add tasks during the work period so long as period of performance revisions, if any, are mutually agreed.

9] All work performed under this SOW (or added to it during the period of performance) will meet or exceed all current requirements of ABYC and USCG (Subchapter T) as applicable to this size and type of vessel, in addition to any specific requirements stated below.

10] In the event defects or damage unrelated to the work tasks defined below are discovered, the Contractor will submit a Condition Found Report (CFR) to attending NOAA staff. The CFR will define corrective actions needed, the cost for that work (separated into labor, materials, services, and total), and the impact to the performance period.

11] All welding required as part of the tasks defined below will be performed by certified welders working in accordance with approved weld procedures. Certifications and approvals by USCG, ABS, or another nationally recognized authority are acceptable, and copies of these will be presented to the NOAA representative before work begins.

12] A site visit prior to bidding is strongly recommended. Bidders are encouraged to inspect the vessel and satisfy themselves as to all conditions that may affect project cost. In no event will a failure to adequately inspect the vessel constitute grounds for cost escalation after project award. The address for the site visit is 132A Harbor Way, Santa Barbara, CA 93109.

B] SPECIFIC WORK TASKS - DOCKSIDE - NONE

C] SPECIFIC WORK TASKS - HAUL OUT

C1) Haul, clean, block, store, and launch Remove the vessel from the water. Pressure-wash the entire hull from sheer line to keel, removing all dirt, grime, and marine growth. Clean all surfaces within the tunnel. Similarly, clean all fittings below waterline, including propulsor components, struts, stern tubes, rudders, foils, fins, through-hulls, etc. Clean transducers with a non-metallic brush, taking care to not mar the emitting surface in any way. Clean all surfaces of all anodes with a wire brush unless they are to be replaced.

Block the vessel in a level altitude with the keel (or keels) 36” minimum off the ground. Inspect the hull, coatings, and all attachments and report any damage or discrepancies to NOAA staff in writing. Provide electrical power to the vessel suitable for its shore power system.

Upon completion of all work done on the hard, launch the vessel, inspect all compartments for leaks, and secure it dockside. If dockside testing or underway trials are required after launch, provide advance notification so NOAA personnel can attend.

C2] Touch up bottom paint Repair any damaged or flawed areas of the bottom paint in accordance with International Paints standards for the repair of Intersleek 1100. All work will be done under the guidance of a technical representative either employed by or certified by International. Upon completion, schedule an inspection of the coating system by the COTR.

C3] Recoat Propulsors with prop-speed The contractor shall renew the Prop-speed coating on the propellers, shafts, and other items of running gear that are currently coated with this material. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for preparation and application.

C4] Pressure test foils, strakes, and guards After the vessel is hauled and washed, and after the surfaces are dry, but before the application of new coatings, inspect the foils, strakes, and guards for evidence of leaks. Report any leaks found to the COR in writing. Remove the test plugs from each of these items and pressure test to 3 PSI for non-visible leaks. Hold pressure for ten (10) minutes and determine if pressure has been lost. If pressure is lost, locate leaks by soapy film test or other means. Repair leaks and repeat testing until no additional leaks are found. Reinstall test plugs using suitable marine grade pipe thread sealant.

C5] Inspect through-hulls, seacocks, and transducers All through-hulls aboard ship will be inspected to ensure they are in good condition. The contractor shall open, actuate, and visually inspect all seacocks in the hull bottom and topsides. A written report shall be submitted to the COR detailing the location and condition of seacocks. If required submit a CFR to NOAA staff for any recommended repairs.

Visually inspect all transducers to ensure they are undamaged. If required submit a CFR to NOAA staff for any recommended repairs.

C6] Check and replace anodes (12 each total) Check condition of aluminum anodes on hull of vessel. Replace all aluminum anodes that require replacement. Provide written statement to NOAA staff detailing the anodes replaced and the status of the ones not replaced.

D] OPTIONAL WORK TASKS - NONE

E] IT SECURITY REQUIREMENTS

The Certification and Accreditation (C&A) requirements of 48 CFR 1352.239-73 do not apply, and a Security Accreditation Package is not required. The contractor will not have access to any government owned IT equipment or be furnished government privileged information. However, the contractor will have full access to the vessel and all of its systems.

F] AWARD BASIS

Performance factors are equal to price. Contractor must demonstrate past performance in working with aluminum high speed catamaran vessels including aluminum welding.

G] LOCATION

The contractor shall propose the location for repairs. The vessel is to be transported at sea by the government to and from the repair facility. The government shall asses the cost of $30/per Nautical Mile at sea from Santa Barbara Harbor, to and from the proposed repair facility in determining the lowest cost proposal. The government shall include the travel costs of a Santa Barbara-based NOAA representative in accordance with the JFTR (Joint Federal Travel Regulations) during the entire duration of repairs conducted greater than 50 miles from Santa Barbara to determine the lowest cost proposal.
