Isle Royale National Park
STATEMENT OF WORK:
Tug Service
DATED: May 17, 2023
NATIONAL PARK SERVICE
Interior Regions 3, 4, and 5
General Information:
This contract is for a Tug Service requirement for Isle Royale National Park’s petroleum barge Greenstone for the purposes of loading and delivery of bulk gasoline to Isle Royale. This will be Awarded for a period of a Base plus Four Option Years.
Background:
Historically, gasoline has been transported to Isle Royale from Houghton, MI via the tank barge Greenstone using the NPS tug Shelter Bay to tow it across Lake Superior and to deliver to various sites on the Island.
Recent implementation of new rules by the U.S. Coast Guard required a recent inspection of the tug Shelter Bay which revealed several major deficiencies. As a result, Coast Guard inspectors elected to issue an order prohibiting operation of the Shelter Bay pending correction of deficiencies. Further, they indicated that the tug, even if brought into compliance, would no longer be allowed to operate on the open waters of Lake Superior including the area around Isle Royale, citing the tug’s unsuitable design for open water operation.
This determination has forced Isle Royale National Park to seek an outside contractor to transport the tank barge Greenstone on a trip to load and deliver gasoline to Isle Royale in the spring/summer of 2023.
Period of Performance:
Base Year: August 15th, 2023 through April 30th, 2024 Option Year (1) One: May 1st, 2024 through April 30th, 2025 Option Year (2) Two: May 1st, 2025 through April 30th, 2026 Option Year (3) Three: May 1st, 2026 through April 30th, 2027
