C. Descriptions and Specifications:

C-1 SCOPE OF WORK/MISSION: The following paragraphs describe the general scope of the Performance Work Statement.

C-1.1 Mission: The U.S.-Flagged, Jones Act time-chartered vessel shall serve as host/support ship for at-sea operations conducted by the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC-PCD). At-sea operations shall include deployment and recovery of inert or live mines and test instrumentation and objects, the tow of surface and submerged vehicles, housing and support of test data acquisition equipment and personnel, deployment and recovery of subsea equipment, Remote Operating Vehicle (ROV) operations, and on-station monitoring. The vessel shall be required to follow computer generated track lines while towing sonars or other towed systems. The vessel shall be required to accurately hold station while subsea equipment is deployed or recovered using the vessel’s crane from its stern. The vessel shall be required to hold station while an ROV is being deployed and operated over the side of the vessel.

C-1.2 Operational Support: Services shall include, but not be limited to the following:

a. Deployment and recovery of up to fifty (50) inert or live mines and test instrumentation and objects

b. Tow of surface and submerged vehicles

c. Housing and support of test data acquisition equipment and personnel

d. Deployment and recovery of subsea equipment/systems

e. Secure Oceanographic MILVANs (8 ft. x 13 ft.) and up to a 10 ft. x 20 ft. Conex Box

f. Remote Operating Vehicle (ROV) operations

g. Re-Fueling Small Boats, Personal Water Craft (PWC), and Generators as required (Gasoline and/or Diesel)

h. Guard Duty (for guarding shallow targets in an area in the Gulf of Mexico)

C-1.3 Operational Control (OPCON): Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC-

PCD).

C-1.4 Area of Operations: The vessel will operate in the Panama City, FL area out 60 miles for 85% of the time. The remaining 15% of operational time may require the ship to operate away from Panama City, FL in locations such as Corpus Christi, TX in the Gulf of Mexico, Puerto Rico, Norfolk, VA in the Atlantic Ocean out 200 miles, Tampa, FL, Ft. Lauderdale, FL, the Florida Keys, Bahamas, Boston, MA, Charleston, SC or other distant locations. Occasionally, the vessel may be required to operate at or above 32 degrees north; cold weather safety equipment and personnel protective clothing shall be required.

C-1.5 Estimated Operating Tempo Scenario (One-Year Period): 24 hours a day, seven days a week, whether at sea or in port:

a. Percent of time underway at less than 15 knots: 20%

b. Percent of time at anchor: 5%

c. Percent of time underway 15 knots or greater: 30%

d. Percent of time in port: 45%

NOTE - The Government shall provide at least 12-hour notice of its intent to get the vessel underway while the vessel is in port.

A typical operation scenario requires the vessel to conduct the evolution underway and return to the Naval Support Activity (NAVSUPPACT) to offload. Pier side load-outs and offloads are accomplished by the Government utilizing crane support assets at the NAVSUPPACT during regular working hours. The nature of Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) missions often results in unexpected program delays. The majority of operations are daily where the vessel gets underway from the NAVSUPPACT in the morning and returns that afternoon. Deep water and remote operations, when the transit time is excessive, require the vessel to remain at-sea for the duration of the evolution, which is about 4 to 5 days or longer. While staying underway for 24 hours, 18-hour workdays supporting NAVSUPPACT personnel are normal. It is approximately 7 nautical miles (NM) from the NAVSUPPACT berthing facilities to the Gulf of Mexico. At least a quarter of daily operations’ underway time shall be transiting to and from the operation area. Transit speed is limited only by safe navigation requirements.

C-1.6 Ship Clearances: The Government shall secure diplomatic clearances and operational area clearances when and where required.
