STATEMENT OF WORK

September 24, 2019

1. BACKGROUND: NOAA’s research and survey ships comprise the largest fleet of federal research ships in the Nation. Ranging from large oceanographic research vessels capable of exploring the world’s deepest ocean, to smaller ships responsible for charting the shallow bays and inlets of the United States, the fleet supports a wide range of marine activities including fisheries research, nautical charting, and ocean and climate studies. In addition to its ships, the NOAA Small Boat Program manages a fleet of more than 400 small boats that perform various data collection missions for NOAA throughout the United States and its territories including hydrographic surveys, fishing, diving, scientific instrument deployment/recovery, water and air quality monitoring, law enforcement and marine mammal surveys. Vessels vary in size from a simple 10-ft. kayak to a complex 85-ft. research vessel. The majority of small boats fall within the range of 16-26 feet in length and operate in near-shore environments, but extended missions in deep water environments are common among the larger vessels.

The NOAA small boats included in this Statement of Work (SOW) are carried aboard the NOAA Ship Rainier (S 221), commissioned in 1967, as survey assets. The ship is homeported in Newport, OR and her primary mission is conducting hydrographic surveys in support of nautical charting.

4.2 Following completion of work and prior to acceptance, all work areas shall be restored to the same condition of cleanliness and serviceability as they were upon the boats arrival.

4.3 Upon receipt of the vessel the contractor will accept full responsibility for the safety of the vessel, including but not limited to fire protection, security, 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 receive the vessel.

4.4 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 access to the vessel during normal working hours.

4.5 Report any necessary repairs outside the scope of this statement of work, or faults identified during inspection or testing, to the contracting officer.

4.6 Protective Coverings

4.6.1. Utilize foreign material exclusion barriers (FMEs) or protective coverings to protect all compartments, machinery, equipment, deck coverings, furnishings, insulation, glass, cables, piping systems, coatings, structures, and other vessel components from damage and from entry of dust, dirt, grit, sand, and other foreign particles.

4.6.2. All damage and contamination resulting from failure to provide adequate protection shall be repaired and cleaned by the Contractor at the Contractor’s expense to re-establish the condition which existed at the start of the work.

4.6.3. After completion of all other work, remove and dispose of all protective coverings along with any adhesive residue used to hold coverings in place.

4.7 Interferences and Restorations

4.7.1. Remove all interferences and obstructions necessary to complete the required work. This shall include the disassembly and removal of machinery, piping, ducts, cable, wiring, insulation, structures, and anything else which interferes with the proper accomplishment of work. Except as otherwise specified, this does not include relocations made necessary by new installations which physically prevent an interference from being returned to its existing location.

4.7.2. Restore all interferences to their existing configuration and condition. Install new gaskets and fasteners. In place of material which is rendered unsuitable for reinstallation during removal or storage, provide and install new materials which are equal in composition, strength, design, type, and size as existed prior to removal. All insulation removed or damaged shall be renewed with new insulation.

4.7.3. Align and conduct strength, tightness, and operational tests to ensure that the reinstalled interferences safely perform their normal functions.

4.7.4. The Contractor shall be responsible for identifying all interferences involved in accomplishing required work. Interferences are not normally identified in the detail specifications of the work item.

4.8 Gaskets, Packing, and Seals - Whenever the Contractor performs work which disturbs existing gaskets, packing, or seals, new gaskets, packing, and seals of same material as existing shall be installed unless otherwise specified.

4.9 Departure Trials and Testing - Upon completion of work all systems that were worked on shall be tested per manufacturer’s recommendation and to demonstrate satisfactory system performance in normal operating conditions.

4.10 Disposal of Fluids - Whenever work requires that equipment, machinery, piping, or tanks be drained of fluids, the Contractor shall be responsible for draining and proper disposal of the fluid in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. If the Contractor drains the fluid into the boat's bilges, the Contractor shall pump all fluid from the applicable bilges into tanks and properly dispose of the fluid, including the fluid that existed prior to and the fluid that accumulates between the time the equipment, machinery, piping or tanks were drained and the time the bilges have been pumped dry by the Contractor. The cost of this should be included in the specific work items. A written record shall be provided to a NOAA representative at the completion of the contract, documenting quantity and type of fluids disposed of and receiving authority (ie company that took possession of the fluids).

4.11 Disassembly and Inspections. Whenever equipment, machinery, systems, or other system components are required to be disassembled, opened or overhauled, the contractor shall complete all disassembling and inspections during the first 25-percent of the work performance period. All tanks required to be opened shall also be opened and gas-freed during the first 25-percent of the work performance period. No time extension of the work performance period will be granted for delays caused by the contractor's failure to comply with this 25-percent time requirement. The 25-percent time requirement is calculated by multiplying the total number of work days proposed in the Contractors schedule by 0.25 and rounding up to the next whole number then adding that number of days to the scheduled start date not counting weekends or holidays not worked.
