Specifications and Statement of Work

Long-Term Integrated Marine Monitoring Along Outer Coast of

Glacier Bay and Wrangell St. Elias National Parks

Section 1: Background and Scope of Work

Background:

The National Park Service Southeast Alaska Network (SEAN) has expanded its monitoring scope to cover marine and coastal areas along the outer coast of Glacier Bay and Wrangell-St. Elias National Parks. This expanded scope includes oceanographic surveys and continuous ocean condition monitoring through a newly established fixed-location mooring. Additional activities involve zooplankton sampling, marine bird and mammal surveys, glacier monitoring, and biological contaminant sampling. The research charter, scheduled for up to 16 days in June 2025, will encompass areas such as Glacier Bay National Park, Icy Strait, Cross Sound, the outer coast between Glacier Bay National Park and Yakutat, Lituya Bay, Yakutat Bay, Disenchantment Bay, Icy Bay, and the coastal areas of Wrangell St. Elias National Park. Departure ports include Seward, Homer, or Auke Bay, Alaska.

Scope of Contractor Responsibilities:

1. Vessel Provision The contractor shall provide a research vessel to support the SEAN long-term monitoring program. This includes:

o Vessel charter, meals, and lodging for 7-12 scientists and personnel from the NPS, University of Alaska, and other institutions.

o The vessel must support a range of research and monitoring activities:

▪ Oceanography: Deployment and retrieval of an oceanographic mooring, especially in

Icy Bay.

▪ Biological Monitoring: Conduct at-sea surveys for zooplankton, contaminants, and bird and mammal monitoring across the designated research areas.

o Navigational Requirements: The vessel must be capable of transiting and operating safely in tidewater glacier fjords—such as Icy Bay, Disenchantment Bay, and portions of Glacier Bay—as well as in open ocean and nearshore waters of the Gulf of Alaska, which may contain dense floating ice. The vessel’s design and capabilities should be suitable for these challenging conditions.

2. Charter Duration and Flexibility The NPS will pay for only the days when the vessel is actively utilized, ensuring flexibility in the duration. The charter can be terminated at any time due to unforeseen circumstances. Additional days may be added if necessary to meet research needs.

3. Equipment and Accommodation Requirements The vessel must be fully equipped to accommodate the specific needs of the SEAN monitoring program:

o Passenger Capacity and Comfort: Sleeping quarters for up to 12 passengers, with three meals provided daily.

o Operational Support: Adequate fuel for the voyage, ample water for drinking and showers for a 16-day period, and sufficient deck and laboratory space.

o Specialized Equipment: A hydraulic crane to manage the loading and off-loading of inflatable boats/skiffs with outboard motors, and the capability to safely deploy and retrieve the oceanographic mooring in Disenchantment Bay.

4. Departure and Loading Logistics Research personnel will meet the vessel at the specified port (Seward, Homer, or Auke Bay) to load

140P9725Q0001 Page 14 of 34 equipment and supplies. The precise departure schedule will be arranged between the vessel captain and NPS, with collaborative loading efforts by the research crew and vessel crew at the departure port.

Schedule and Departure:

The trip will start and conclude in Seward, Homer, or Auke Bay at a date in June 2025, to be finalized based on availability. The contractor may specify a timeframe for vessel availability in their quotation. Transit to the research site will vary based on the departure port and weather conditions.

For planning and billing, a day is defined as a 24-hour period starting at an agreed time set by the Captain and the NPS project leader before the trip commences. The trip formally ends when all NPS equipment is offloaded from the charter vessel. This is a fixed-price contract, invoiced on a daily rate basis.
