Marine Vessel Transport USFWS Farallon Islands NWR

SCOPE OF WORK

Marine Vessel Transportation of Personnel and Cargo to the

Farallon Islands National Wildlife Refuge

1. GENERAL: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge Complex, is soliciting firms to charter and operate a marine vessel from the San Francisco Bay area to the Farallon Islands National Wildlife Refuge off the coast of San Francisco, California.

The contractor must have the proper expertise, training, and accreditation to be able to provide and operate a motorized marine charter vessel to transport cargo and personnel to Southeast Farallon Island, California, in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local codes, including but not limited to U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Merchant Marine, and Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

2. BACKGROUND: The Farallon Islands National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) is located on a small group of islands in the Pacific Ocean about 30 miles west of San Francisco, California.

The Farallon Islands NWR hosts a permanent biological research station that supports facilities and infrastructure for the habitation of personnel. Southeast Farallon Island (SEFI) is the only island that contains landing facilities and all transfers of cargo and personnel will take place in proximity to SEFI.

Landings at SEFI do not follow normal port docking procedures. There are two government-owned anchored buoys within 300 yards of SEFI that provide a stable mooring for vessels. The East Landing is the primary landing site and a backup landing is located at the North Landing site in Fisherman’s Bay (see appendix for map).

Staff or partners from the Farallon Islands NWR use cranes, one at each landing, to launch a small shuttle boat that can approach the charter vessel. The shuttle boat at East Landing is a 17-foot rigid hull and the boat at North Landing is a 13-foot inflatable. One of these two boats is used to shuttle personnel and cargo from the charter boat to the landing site.

3. SCOPE: Multiple vendors may be selected depending on quotes received. Successful contractor(s) shall provide between two and 10 individual day charters between 15 September 2021 and 30 April 2023, and will include marine vessel transportation to SEFI from a San Francisco Bay Area harbor and return to the same harbor. Contractor will provide one fully licensed boat operator and at least one crewmember or deck hand.
