0001 STATEMENT OF WORK

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 oceans 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.

2. SCOPE

2.1.This specification contains the general requirements for work performed by the Small Boats Repair Contractor (Contractor) for two of NOAA Ship Rainier’s small boats. These general requirements apply to all work items contained in this work package, including but not limited to the inspection of the two boat engines and troubleshooting of existing issues to ensure full operation.

2.2.There are two (2) small boats covered under this Scope of Work, collectively referred to as ‘the HSLs',’ with the following particulars:

2.2.2. 2801, a.k.a. RA-5 – 30 foot All American Marine 30 HSL Hydrographic Survey Launch, manufactured in 2009, 15500 lb displacement, Hull Number 2802, aluminum hull, Cummins 500HP engine QSC8.3,3500IDI, S/N# 74851184.

3. Period Of Performance 3.1.Requested start date of 12/1/2024 with completion of work no later than 1/6/2025.

4. Place Of Performance 4.1.At the dockside location of the NOAA Ship Rainier at Marine Operations Pacific Islands (MOC-PI) 4.1.1.NOAA Ship Rainier Marine Operations Center - Pacific Islands 1897 Ranger Loop Building 184 Honolulu, HI 96818 4.1.2.HSLs shall be able to be in the water at the small boat dock located at MOC-PI to facilitate any required operational testing.

4.2.Should individual parts of the boat engine need to be worked on in specific manners, contractors may be able to do said work at their facilities with approval from the Contracting Officer.

¿ Brand Name – This brand name is CUMMINS ENGINE OEM Service Techs which are required to perform the required maintenance and inspection on the engines, as they are trained on the specifics of the engine configuration. The Cummins distribution center on island does not service marine engines, thus an authorized service provider is needed. Both HSL’s have Cummins engines need the Cummins expertise.

Compatibility to existing systems or equipment – Any parts requested is a direct replacements and match in fit, form, and function of existing.

5. Market Research.

Per the Cummins listing of authorized dealers/parts/service techs, there are numerous vendors on the west coast and one on Hawaii that are authorized Cummins vendors and service representatives.

6. Technical/Requirements Representative Certification I certify that this requirement constitutes the Government’s minimum needs and the supporting data provided herein is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
