Statement of Work – Vessel Modification Services NOAA Research Vessel STORM PETREL R5201

Revision B 03/16/2023

A] GENERAL INFORMATION:

1] This Statement of Work contains the requirements for modifications of the NOAA Research Vessel Storm Petrel, hull number R5201.

2] The general characteristics of the vessel are as follows:

LOA: 52.0 feet BOA: 18.8 feet Draft: ~4.9 feet Displacement: ~30 short tons

3] All work is to be accomplished either at the Contractor’s facility, at the vessel’s home port of Port Angeles WA, or a combination thereof upon mutual agreement. If required NOAA will deliver the vessel to the Contractor’s facility, and redelivery will also be at the Contractor’s facility.

4] Coordination of the work schedules will be the responsibility of the Contractor to avoid any delays or disruptions in order to meet the performance period. The Contractor will provide all labor, materials, tools, and services required to complete the work UNLESS exceptions are noted in the specified tasks below.

5] If the vessel is moved to the Contractor’s facility, the contractor will accept full responsibility for the safety of the vessel, including but not limited to fire protection, security patrols, water‐tight integrity, protection from adverse environmental conditions, etc. This responsibility will terminate only after all work done at the Contractor’s facility is complete, accepted by NOAA, and NOAA personnel remove the vessel from the Contractor’s facility.

6] NOAA employees and subcontractors may be working on board the vessel during the contract performance period on a not‐to‐interfere basis. During this period, it will be required that these personnel have full access to the vessel during normal working hours.

7] If the vessel is hauled from the water by the Contractor, the Contractor will ensure that all machinery and equipment used for that purpose is fully functional, suitable for the task, rated for loads at least 20% greater than the maximum weight of the vessel, and operated by trained, competent personnel.

8] The government reserves the right to award some or all tasks defined herein, and to add tasks during the work period so long as cost and period of performance revisions, if any, are mutually agreed.

9] All work performed under this SOW (or added to it during the period of performance) will 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.

10] In the event defects or damage unrelated to the work tasks defined below are discovered, the Contractor will submit a Condition Found Report (CFR) to the TPOC. The CFR will define corrective actions needed, the cost for that work (separated into labor, materials, services, and total), and the impact to the performance period.

11] All welding required as part of the tasks defined below will 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 will be presented to NOAA staff before work begins. New aluminum plate will be 5083 alloy of the H321 or H116 temper, and of a thickness equal to the removed plate. Aluminum filler wire will be 5183 alloy. Weld throat widths will generally equal the original welds. After welding, remove all smoke, soot, and oxides with a wire brush, and de‐burr all sharp edges.

12] NOTE: All work performed on the vessel will be accomplished as described below 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 below will be redone at the Contractors expense within the defined period of performance.

B] SPECIFIC WORK TASKS:

1] Modify Bulwarks Cut a hole through the starboard bulwarks to allow a pole mount to pass through when that is installed.

The hole will be approximately 12” tall x 12” wide, flush to deck at the bottom, and trimmed with 1” pipe or round bar on the sides and top. Upper corners will be radiused approximately 3”. The hole will be similar in appearance to that for the adjacent cleat.

Provide a cover plate for the hole to reduce spray on deck when the pole mount is not in use. Cover plate will be 1/8” thick, and retained by four easily removable stainless‐steel fasteners.

2] Provide and Install one Multibeam Pole Assembly Install one each manually deployed multibeam mounting pole (ref. Universal Sonar Mount “Hightower” model or equal) and related hardware on the existing reinforced portion of the starboard side deck approximately 18 feet forward of the transom. Deck height above waterline is 3.5 feet, and depth of keel is approximately 3.0 feet. When installed the lower end of the pole will reach 40” maximum below waterline. Any fasteners that penetrate the deck surface will be completely sealed to prevent leakage into the vessel.

1) Calibrated safety shear block design that allows the pole to release in the event of an underwater collision or snag.

2) Repeatable Pole Technology that maintains patch test calibration through the range of motion.

Positioning of lower end of vertical pole will be repeatable within 1/16” in all axes.

3) Base unit will be electrically isolated from the vessel.

4) Pole will rotate aft to stow by both a removable handle and an integral gear‐drive articulated by a user‐supplied cordless drill.

5) Ability to adjust Z and/or yaw during installation of Z pole.

6) Include means to conveniently detach and reattach the vertical pole from the horizontal mount member.

7) Convenient adjustment of the pole, including pitch and reach, performed inside the gunnel of the vessel.

8) Easy to deploy and recover the sonar with the shear block tower.

9) Universal bottom flange design for easy bolt on/off of multiple sonar models.

10) Base mounting plate for efficient integration to vessel.

11) Hard anodized aluminum with Teflon coating.

12) Hydrodynamic extruded aluminum foil Z pole with fairings fore and aft. Pole will be minimum 8’ in length.

13) Base unit and all attachments will tolerate vessel operations up to 6.0 knots ahead in waves up to 2.5 feet.

3] Pole Support Provide and install a hinged bracket emanating from the hull that supports the pole when rotated aft.

Bracket will be strong and rigid enough to eliminate pole movement in seas up to 4’ and boat speeds up to 20 knots. Bracket will be hinged to stow flat against the hull when not in use.

4] Testing On completion of all tasks above, test the pole assembly dockside and underway:

1) Demonstrate that the mounting plate fasteners through deck do not leak.

2) Demonstrate base unit installation on deck, and removal.

3) Demonstrate pole installation on base assembly, and removal.

4) Demonstrate pole rotation into the water, and return to stowed position.

5) With NOAA staff operating the vessel, demonstrate the pole assembly remains stable and secure underway, both straight ahead and in turns, at vessel speeds up to 8 knots ahead and 4 knots astern.

C] OTHER INFORMATION

1] Submittals with Bid Contractor will submit basic drawings or sketches of the installation, a materials list, and a workplan defining key schedule events.

1] IT Security Requirements The Certification and Accreditation (C&A) requirements of 48 CFR 1352.239‐73 do not apply, and a Security Accreditation Package is not required. The Contractor will not be accessing US government computers or IT systems for this effort. The Contractor will not be accessing any information that is not within the public domain for this effort. The contractor will not be processing, transmitting or storing privileged access information (i.e., non‐public) in carrying out the tasks of this contract.

2] Location The contractor shall propose the location for repairs. The vessel is to be transported at sea by the government to and from the repair facility. The government shall asses the cost of $30/per nautical mile at sea from Port Angeles Harbor, to and from the proposed repair facility in determining the lowest cost proposal. The government shall include the travel costs of a Port Angeles‐based NOAA representative in accordance with the JFTR (Joint Federal Travel Regulations) during the entire duration of repairs conducted greater than 50 miles from Port Angeles to determine the lowest cost proposal.
