PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

(CERTIFIED MARINE CHEMIST PROFESSIONAL SERVICES)

1.0 BACKGROUND: Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY), a naval industrial facility located in Portsmouth Virginia, maintains, overhauls, and repairs various vessels for the US Navy. NNSY is seeking a contract for Certified Marine Chemist services as a back-up for the in-house Gas Free Engineer (GFE).

2.0 OBJECTIVE/SCOPE: NNSY seeks services from a Contractor to provide Certified Marine Chemist services for approximately 40 jobs throughout the year for all ships and submarines undergoing maintenance work. The services shall include performing an inspection of confined spaces or piping for the purpose of certifying the area is safe to perform subsequent work operations. Services would be sought on an as-needed basis, and payment provided on a per-job and hourly basis when applicable for standby time or overtime. Acceptance of contract does not guarantee that services for 40 jobs will be necessary.

3.0 REFERENCE:

(a) 29 CFR 1915: Occupational Safety and Health Standards for Shipyard Employment

(b) 29 CFR 1910: Occupational Safety and Health Standards

(c) NAVSHIPYDNORINST P5090.2 Chapter II-26 Rev C Ch-2, Confined Space Program

4.0 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS: Services shall be performed in strict compliance with references (a) and (b). The Contractor shall provide all material, equipment and tools needed to perform the Marine Chemist/Gas Free services. The Contractor shall perform inspections for the purpose of Marine Chemist certification or re-certification (whenever conditions change that affect the initial certification) for the following:

(a) Entry into confined or poorly ventilated enclosed spaces that contain toxic materials above or equal to the OSHA limits;

(b) Hot work within, on, or immediately adjacent (through heat transfer or spark/hot slag contact) to spaces or items that contain or have last contained combustible or flammable liquids or gases;

(c) Hot work on pipelines, heating coils, pump fittings, or other accessories connected to spaces that contain or have last contained fuel.

(d) Services would include provision for Marine Chemist Certificate. This would include site visit to the vessel plus one space.

(e) Services could include additional certificates / additional spaces within the same visit.

(f) Services could include toxicity testing

(g) Services could include pipeline setup/certification.

4.1 Certification/Inspection Report: If the inspection is satisfactory, contractor shall post the certification of the confined or poorly ventilated enclosed space being inspected on the outside of the space (before leaving the worksite) and provide a copy to one of the designated Technical Point of Contacts (TPOCs). If the contractor identifies issues that prevent certifying the space, the contractor shall inform the TPOC of all deficiencies so corrections can be made to complete the inspection. Re-inspection after correction of deficiencies will be considered to be charged as another service.

4.2 Definitions and Conditions:

4.2.1 Confined or poorly ventilated enclosed spaces – this includes but is not limited to the following areas: fuel oil tanks; ballast tanks; auxiliary tanks, sanitary tanks, crawl spaces;

voids; etc. found on naval vessels, submarines, and surface craft.

4.3 Location of Services: Work will be conducted onboard naval vessels, submarines and surface craft, at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY) in Portsmouth, Virginia.

4.3.1 Work may require entry into areas under increased security controls. Appropriate security credentials as specified in the contract may be required for entry to shipyard areas as well as onboard naval vessels, submarines and surface craft.

4.3.2 Work may require entry into radiation areas. In the unlikely event that inspection requires entry into a radiation area, radiation dosimetry will be provided. Instructions will be provided on proper dosimetry use prior to entry into the radiation area. Dosimetry will be turned in to the shipyard upon completion of the job. A report of radiation exposure accumulated during the job will be available upon request.

4.4 Estimated Work Hours: NNSY regular work hours are 0720 - 1550 hours, Monday through Friday.

Anything outside of these working hours would be considered overtime, and subject to overtime rates.

The hourly overtime rate would be added to the standard inspection/job rate outside of the regular work hours (0720-1550, M-F). Request for services may rarely include Saturday or Sunday work, or backshift hours, which would also be subject to overtime rates. Additionally, while usually not an issue, there could be standby time that is incurred if a jobsite is not deemed ready for certification.

4.4.1 Typically, only one job is scheduled per day. As such, the actual inspection duration will vary depending on the scope and complexity of the work. For example, a job to repair a tank may require inspection of the tank as well as adjacent tanks.

4.4.2 Start time for the service may not coincide with the 0720-start time for a regular workday. Start time for the service may include time spent preparing for gaining access to an area (e.g., security or dosimetry briefings, etc.), as well as a pre-job brief by those involved (e.g., engineering briefing the scope of upcoming hot work, status of adjacent spaces, etc.).

4.4.3 Completion of the service will depend on the scope and complexity of the job and may not coincide with the 1550-end time for a regular day. If a job requires more time to complete than the typical workday has allowed, then the TPOC will decide if the vendor should stay and receive overtime pay.

4.4.4 If more than an 8-hour day or if the end of the daytime has elapsed is needed to complete the job, the job can be completed the next day at the discretion of the Contractor with agreement from the TPOC. The initial visit on this following day would be considered a new job.

4.4.5 Standby and Overtime. This would be at the discretion of the Project/Vessel POC or the TPOC whether standby time is accrued or call back at later date/time is enacted. Standby time would be applicable for any barrier related to an inspection that is not the fault of the contractor. Overtime would include any hours worked after the standard workday M-F (0720-1550). Overtime must be requested and approved by the Project/Vessel POC or the TPOC.

4.5 Scheduled Visits: The contractor shall usually be given forty-eight (48) hours advanced notice prior to a service visit. If available, the contractor may schedule the visit in any lesser amount of time with the TPOC. For situations where the contractor is unavailable within the 48-hour window, the scheduled visit will be coordinated with the TPOC. The Technical Points of Contact (TPOCs) designated by this PWS shall authorize a scheduled service visit. Other designated Safety and Health Division personnel may facilitate communication and coordination of effort with the contractor. A list of designated Safety and Health Division personnel may be provided upon request.

4.5.1 While not anticipated, there may be unplanned or urgent/emergency requests, including a re-inspection of a confined or poorly ventilated enclosed space, due to changed conditions. The contractor shall provide an emergency contact number so that the Government may contact the Contractor in such situations. The Contractor may provide the number of an answering machine or mobile phone to receive such calls. The expectation of this award would be for the contractor to communicate with the TPOC or project representative concerning the contractor’s availability to provide the inspection.

4.5.2 After being contacted, the Contractor may request rescheduling of the job if it conflicts with other previously made commitments. In these cases, the TPOC shall be informed and decide on the request to reschedule and if necessary, obtaining other means to get the service.

ACCESS TO NNSY

REQUIREMENTS FOR ACCESS TO NNSY

Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC), has established the Defense Biometric Identification System, (DBIDS), a standardized process for granting unescorted access privileges to vendors, contractors, suppliers and service providers not otherwise entitled to the issuance of a Common Access Card (CAC) who seek access to and can provide justification to enter Navy installations and facilities. Participation in the DBIDS is not mandatory, and if the Contractor chooses to not participate, the Contractor's personnel will have to obtain daily passes, be subject to daily mandatory vehicle inspection, and will have limited access to the installation. The Government will not be responsible for any cost or lost time associated with obtaining daily passes or added vehicle inspections incurred by non-participants in the DBIDS. Alternatively, if the vendor so chooses, it may voluntarily elect to obtain long-term credentials through enrollment, registration, background vetting, screening, issuance of credentials, and electronic validation of credentials. Further information regarding DBIDS can be found at https://www.cnic.navy.mil/om/dbids.html.
