2] All work is to be accomplished at the contractor’s facility. The contractor’s facility shall be located less than 100 miles from the vessel’s dock at 522 Caribbean Dr. Key Largo, FL 33037. NOAA shall deliver the vessel to the contractor’s facility, and the vessel shall be returned to NOAA at the contractor’s facility. The period of performance is

November 1, 2024 through Feb 28, 2025.

3] Coordination of the work schedules shall be the responsibility of the contractor so as to avoid any delays or disruptions. The contractor shall provide all facilities, labor, materials, tools, and services required to complete the work.

4] Upon arrival at the contractor’s facility, the contractor shall accept full responsibility for the safety of the vessel, including fire protection, security patrols, water‐tight integrity, and protection from adverse environmental conditions. This responsibility shall terminate only after all work is complete, accepted by NOAA, and NOAA personnel remove the vessel from the contractor’s facility.

5] NOAA employees and contractors may be working on board the vessel during the contract period of performance on a not‐to‐interfere basis. During this period, these personnel shall be given full access to the vessel during normal working hours.

6] The contractor shall ensure that all machinery and equipment used hauling the vessels from the water is fully functional, suitable for the task, rated for loads at least 20% greater than the maximum weight of the vessels, and operated by trained, competent personnel. Docking plans for the vessels are not available, and proper sling positioning is the responsibility of the contractor.

7] The Government reserves the right to award some or all tasks defined herein.

8] All work performed under this SOW shall meet or exceed all current requirements of ABYC and USCG (Subchapter T) as applicable to this size and type of vessel, in addition to any specific requirements stated below.

9] In the event defects or damage unrelated to the work tasks are discovered, the contractor shall submit a Condition Found Report (CFR) to NOAA staff. The CFR shall define corrective actions needed, the cost for that work (separated into labor, materials, services, and total), and the impact to the period of performance. No additional work shall be performed without prior approval by the Government Contact Point or Contracting Officer.

10] Any welding, if required as part of the tasks below, shall be performed by certified welders working in accordance with approved weld procedures. Certifications and approvals by USCG, ABS, or another nationally recognized authority are acceptable, and copies of these shall be provided with the quote.

11] All work performed on the vessel shall be accomplished as described unless alternatives are presented in writing BEFORE the work commences, and are agreed to by NOAA. Any work that does not adhere to the descriptions shall be redone at the contractor’s expense within the defined period of performance.

12] A site visit is strongly encouraged. Quoters are strongly encouraged to inspect the vessel on which services are to be performed and to satisfy themselves as to all general and local conditions that may affect the cost of the performance of the contract, to the extent such information is reasonably obtainable. In no event shall a failure to inspect the vessel constitute grounds for a claim after award of the contract. The R/V Hawksbill is located at 95230 Overseas HWY, Key Largo FL 33037.

B] SPECIFIC WORK TASKS:

1] Haul out, pressure wash, block, lay days

a) Ensure that the vessel is hauled out and blocked in accordance with standard practice for this vessel type and size.

b) Pressure wash and scrape to clean bottom and running gear of the hull below the waterline to include prop, shaft, struts, rudder, dive platform supports, and thru‐hull fittings of all marine growth. Clean transducers with a non‐metallic brush, taking care to not mar the emitting surface in any way.

c) Check clearance of cutlass bearings on rudder and propeller shaft. With a dial indicator, check the run out of the propeller shaft. Provide FKNMS a written copy of these readings.

2] Replace Zinc Anodes Replace all the underwater body zinc anodes as follows:

a) One 6”x12” plate zinc anode model DP‐1 mounted on the transom below swim platform.

b) Ensure plate is electrically connected to the vessel bonding system.

3] Renew PropSpeed

a) Prepare propeller, propeller shaft, rudder, and struts for the PropSpeed or equivalent system.

b) Apply PropSpeed or equivalent in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.

c) Upon task completion, provide NOAA staff an opportunity to inspect the new coating.

4] Renew bottom coating

a) Remove any failed or failing anti‐fouling coating on the underwater hull of the vessel.

b) Tape off waterline.

c) Prepare the hull surfaces per manufacturers requirements, and apply one coat of Pettit Ultima SR40 blue antifouling paint or equivalent to the hull below the waterline, with an extra coat applied at the waterline to extend six inches below the waterline.

d) Ensure blocks and stands are shifted so that all areas of the hull are properly prepared and painted.

e) Clean and paint all submerged external intake strainers installed through the hull. Clean out intake thru‐hulls before reinstalling the strainers.

f) Upon task completion, provide NOAA staff an opportunity to inspect the new coating.

5] Update emergency signaling kit Inspect the emergency kits containing flares and smoke devices. Replace any items that will be out of date within one year with the same or equivalent devices.

6] Repair bent handrails

a) Repair the stbd bow rail where it is deformed and cracked. Remove the damaged handrail between stanchions 2 and 3 (from bow). Straighten the remaining rail tube ends. Insert a new portion of handrail and weld both ends.

b) Straighten the port aft handrail on the deck edge. Unbolt the after most stanchion base, straighten the base and rail, and reinstall with new bedding.

7] Service fire‐fighting equipment Inspect all fixed and portable fire extinguishing devices in the vessel. Repair or replace any that are non‐ functional. Test the fixed system and prove operability. Provide new service tags on all devices, and a written service report on the fixed system.

8] Service main engine and generator Provide annual, routine servicing of the main engine and generator in accordance with OEM guidance.

Main has ~500 hours, and the generator ~700 hours. Include lube oil and fuel filter element changes.

Upon completion run the main and generator dockside with NOAA staff present and demonstrate proper operation of the machinery and that no leaks are present. Provide written documentation of servicing.

9] Install Hydroturf covering port aft Install one sheet (43” x 83”) of Hydroturf mat sheet (color gray) on the port aft corner of the main deck.

NOAA staff will comment on exact placement and whether any trimming is required. Prepare the area by sanding off the high points of the existing nonskid coating. Apply contact cement to the deck per Hydroturf guidance (but not on the underside of the mat). Once the contact cement has partially dried, remove the Hydroturf backing to expose the adhesive and apply the sheet. Ensure all air bubbles are worked out from under the sheet, and that the sheet edges are firmly adhered to the deck.

10] Repair deck cracks at engine hatch Repair the hairline cracks present in the deck the port, stbd, and forward sides of the engine hatch.
