SECTION 2. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

SEC. 2.01 BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Operational Area: Shuyak, Afognak, and Kodiak Islands (Gulf of Alaska) Alaska State Parks relies on ocean going vessels in the Kodiak area to manage Shuyak Island State Park, Afognak Island State Park, and Woody Island State Recreation site. The State has determined the requirement of a newly constructed vessel approximately 33ft in length with a walk-through cabin and beach landing door, with reasonably shallow draft designed for this dynamic environment made of marine grade aluminum would best suit the needs of the division. The marine grade aluminum design was chosen because it produces the best balance of required power, fuel and maintenance efficiency, sea worthiness, and speed needed.

A normal crew will consist of two persons, but the vessel may be occasionally operated alone. The vessel must be comfortable for a crew of 2-3 to stay on the boat for several nights but must have seating for a total of six persons, which will be required when transporting crews to or from Shuyak or Afognak Islands. This vessel must be sufficiently capable of carrying a variety of materials, supplies, and equipment on deck and inside the cabin. This vessel does not require a permanent crew; the operators and handlers could be trained relatively quickly and will have ample opportunity to maintain currency and qualification.

The vessel will be used for a multitude of missions, including by law enforcement rangers for resource protection and public safety, transporting trail crews for resource management, and maintenance repairing public use cabins and other facilities. This vessel will be the primary transportation method for Alaska State Parks staff to reach Shuyak Island State Park and Afognak Island State Park where 8 public use cabins, numerous trail heads, remote camp locations, and a remote ranger station will be accessed by beach landing.

This RFP sets forth the design and performance specifications for the vessel. The State desires to purchase a newly constructed, high-quality vessel with sea-keeping abilities required for work in Gulf of Alaska and Shelikof Strait waters. The vessel must be delivered to Kodiak, Alaska.

“The State has attempted to specify to the best of ability performance, construction, machinery, and systems necessary, but these specifications shall be considered minimum rather than comprehensive and may include omissions, errors, or components that are in conflict with one another or in conflict with the overall design. The builder shall identify any components in conflict and propose alternative suitable for the overall design to meet the mission.”

SECTION 3. SCOPE OF WORK & CONTRACT INFORMATION

SEC. 3.01 SCOPE OF WORK

The Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation (DPOR) is soliciting proposals for the new construction of a high-quality seaworthy vessel required for operations. The vessel shall be built according to specifications as outlined in Scope of Work Specifications. The home port for the new vessel will be in Kodiak, Alaska. The vessel must pass all sea trials conducted by the State and be delivered to the home port upon completion.

SCOPE OF WORK SPECIFICATIONS

Vessel Performance Standards:

The vessel and all its components shall be suitable for operation everywhere in the Kodiak Archipelago nearshore waters, and surrounding waters in all seasons. The vessel must successfully operate in the following environmental conditions: Ambient air temperatures: 80 degrees F° down to -10 degrees F°, water temperatures between 30 degrees F° and 55 degrees F°, wind speeds between 0 and 30 knots, and wave heights between 0 and 6 feet.

• Hull: Welded aluminum, shallow draft. In the general design of a mono hull semi-displacement with the ability to operate in seas up to 6ft.

• Freeboard: Vessel minimum freeboard is 30 inches loaded. Freeboard shall be measured from the top of the continuous watertight deck to the water, at the lowest point on the deck edge.

• Stability: Vessel must pass a simplified stability test, per USCG Subchapter T, for worst case load condition with the vessel operating in exposed waters. Also, vessel must have a collision bulkhead, per USCG Subchapter T, and additional watertight bulkheads, spaced so that vessel will not sink if one compartment is holed.

• Cargo: Vessel must be able to carry deck loads of up to 2,500 lbs.

• Propulsion: Vessel must have twin 300hp outboard engines with dual counter and contra-rotating propellers.

• Speed: Vessel must be capable of achieving 35 knots. Cruise speed to be a minimum of 28 knots.

• Range: Vessel must have a range of 400 nautical miles minimum.

• Flying Bridge: No flying bridge required.

• Draft: Vessel draft must not exceed 40 inches.

Vessel Construction Standards The structure of the vessel shall be simple and robust in nature and must be constructed of 5086 Marine Grade aluminum plate or similar equivalent to be approved by the project manager with all welded construction. Material certificates must be provided. ABS welding standard for Aluminum vessels and ABYC standards for a vessel of this size apply. Where the State has questions or concerns about structural design, the Contractor shall provide an engineering analysis of the area in question.

Extra structure must be provided in areas of high stress. As appropriate for normal good ship building practices, stress relieving curves/radii and brackets must be provided in areas of high stress. Insert plates must be provided at points of stress concentration and hull penetration.

Doubler plates must not be substituted for insert plates. The following standards must be adhered to: Side Plating: 1/4" Aluminum plate, 5086 H116, Bottom and Transom Plating: 5/16" Aluminum plate, 5086 H116 Deck Plating: 3/16" 5052-H32.

Other structural details (such as manholes, limber holes, rat holes, water and oil stops) must be incorporated into the vessel's structure to provide proper access, drainage of water, or proper functioning of tanks and systems.

Workmanship must be to a high standard. Vessel structural fit-up must be accurate with no gaps between plate and supporting structure. End connections must be clean and free of rough edges.

Structural connections, relief holes, radiuses, and bracketing must be provided so that there are no areas of concentrated stress in the hull.

The Contractor must take whatever means are necessary to avoid inducing stain and deformation into the vessel from welding. This includes modifying welding procedures and welding and assembly sequencing. Evidence of minor structural deformation or cracking shall be cause for a partial refund to the State. Evidence of major structural deformation or cracking shall be cause for the State to terminate the contract for negligence. All internal and external spaces of the vessel must be accessible for inspection and maintenance. Inspection hatches must be waterproof, quick acting, non-plastic hatches.

All equipment installed must have reasonable access for maintenance (This item will be verified at sea trials).

Questions about space and machinery access must be addressed before construction or installation of component in question.

Installation of metals other than aluminum shall be strictly controlled. Ferrous metals must be minimized to only those required of specified equipment and must not be installed in the vessel structure, mechanical, or electrical systems unless the Contractor receives prior approval from the State. Non-aluminum fasteners must be stainless steel. Where non-aluminum metal and aluminum must be connected, such connection shall occur through a dielectric kit, or some other means to eliminate or minimize galvanic corrosion. The State shall reject, and the Contractor shall replace, any dissimilar metal installation the State believes may be susceptible to galvanic corrosion.
