About this file

This is a Performance Work Statement (PWS) for engine and outdrive maintenance services for the vessel "Compliance," a 40-foot research vessel operated by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation for environmental monitoring of the San Francisco Bay and Delta.

The contractor shall provide routine and corrective maintenance for the vessel's twin Volvo Penta D4-225 engines and DPH-A outdrives, including service to integral systems such as steering, electrical, hydraulic, fuel, water intake, air intake, and hull structure. Routine maintenance will be ordered by the government at manufacturer-recommended service intervals (approximately every 200 service hours). Engine service includes oil and filter changes, fuel filter replacement, air filter service, seawater pump servicing, anode replacement, battery maintenance, and visual inspections for leaks and corrosion. Drive service includes oil changes, visual inspections, universal joint bellow replacement, anode replacement, and paint touch-up. The contract includes specialized services at higher hour intervals: Cooling System Service (every 2 years), 600-Hour Service, 1200-Hour Service, and 1500-Hour Service (drives only), each with specific inspection and replacement requirements. Contingency work for repairs beyond routine maintenance requires a Condition Found Report and quotation submitted to the Contracting Officer (CO) and Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) for approval before proceeding. All work shall be performed at the contractor's facility, with the vessel transported up to 60 water miles from New Bridge Marina in Antioch under its own power; emergency repairs may be performed at the vessel's location if deemed necessary by the CO and COR.

The contract is a hybrid Firm-Fixed Price and Time and Materials arrangement with a Base Year (April 15, 2026 through April 14, 2027) and two Option Years. Quotations for contingency work must itemize labor by category with rates and quantities, list all materials with part numbers and unit prices, and include other costs such as haul-out, lay days, storage, and freight. Routine maintenance pricing is all-inclusive, covering labor, materials, freight, disposal, haul-out, storage, cleaning, and lay days. The Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan requires 100% inspection by the COR with performance standards to the COR's satisfaction; failure to meet standards may result in contract suspension or termination. The assigned COR is Thomas D. Eckert (teckert@usbr.gov, 916-413-5297) of the Bureau of Reclamation.

Performance Work Statement Compliance Boat Engine Maintenance

1. Background Reclamation conducts environmental monitoring of the San Francisco Bay and Delta utilizing the vessel "Compliance." Compliance is a 40-foot, 1985 Munson H30 Hammerhead powered by twin Volvo Penta D4-225 engines and DPH-A outdrives. The engines and outdrives were installed in 2007.

The engine hour meters are at 2,571 and 2,573 on port and starboard, respectively, as 10/17/2025

2. Scope

The contractor shall perform engine and outdrive maintenance for the vessel Compliance including both routine and corrective maintenance required to sustain the engines and outdrives within manufacturer's performance specifications and to perform required contingency work. Engine and outdrive maintenance shall include service to any systems integral to the operation of the engines and outdrives including steering system, electrical system, hydraulic system, fuel system, water intake system, air intake system, and hull structure at the location where the engines and outdrives are installed.

3. Objectives

a) Maintain engines and drives in proper working order

b) Perform routine maintenance at manufacturer's recommended intervals

c) Perform corrective maintenance and contingency work, as required

4. Type of Contract

The government will award a hybrid contract of Firm-Fixed Price and Time and Materials.

5. Period of Performance

Base Year Option Year 1 Option Year 2

April 15, 2026 through April 14, 2027 April 15, 2027 through April 14, 2028 April 15, 2028 through April 14, 2029

6. Place of Performance

All work shall be performed at the contractor's facility. The vessel will be made available for contractor haul out and/or transportation, if necessary. The government is unable to transport the vessel by land and is only to transport up to 60 miles per water from New Bridge Marina in Antioch, under the vessel's own power. No modifications will be made to the vessel to aid in transportation to the contractor's facility. Once the vessel has arrived at the contractor's facility, it is expected that the vessel will remain on site until the scheduled tasks have been completed.

During emergency repair situations where moving the vessel to the contractor's facility would pose a safety or environmental threat or the vessel is completely disabled, the contractor is expected to travel to the vessel's location to perform the repairs. This requirement is limited to docks and boat yards that are accessible by land. If agreed upon between the contractor and the Contracting Officer (CO), the contractor will perform the minimum services required to eliminate the safety or environmental threat and move the vessel to the contractor's facility to complete the balance of the work. The same constraints apply.

7. Security

The contractor shall be responsible for safeguarding all government equipment, information and property provided for contractor use. At the close of each work period, government vessels, equipment, and materials shall be secured.

8. Condition Found Reports

The contractor shall provide a Condition Found Report (CFR) anytime the need for additional labor and/or materials is discovered during inspections or service.
