Preliminary/Contract Design of Motor Vessel Ranger IV

PRESOLICITATION AND INDUSTRY DAY NOTICE

The U.S. Department of Transportation, Volpe Center, anticipates issuing a contract for Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Services for the Preliminary and Contract design of Motor Vessel Ranger IV. The completed contract design will be used by the Government in a separate future solicitation for the Detail Design and Construction of Ranger IV. The NAICS code identified for this requirement is 541330 - Engineering Services. The Volpe Center is releasing this pre-solicitation and Industry Day notice to identify interested parties, provide an overview of the anticipated design requirements, and gather any feedback offered by industry.

The Volpe Center will be hosting the industry day at Isle Royale National Park Headquarters in Houghton, MI for all interested vendors. The industry day will be held on Thursday, June 16, 2022 between 10AM and 12PM ET. The industry day will include discussion of the pre-solicitation notice, Basis of Design for Ranger IV, and tours of the current Ranger III and the Houghton dock area.

Interested vendors may book travel out to Isle Royale to view other docking locations (Rock Harbor, Mott Island, and Windigo) at their own expense. There are three ways to reach Rock Harbor: onboard the Ranger III from Houghton, MI; onboard the Isle Royale Queen which leaves from Copper Harbor, Michigan; or by Isle Royale Seaplanes which leaves from Hancock, MI or Grand Marais, MN. There are three ways to reach Windigo: onboard the Ranger III (once per month); via Grand Portage Isle Royale Transportation Lines which leaves from Grand Portage, MN; or by Isle Royale Seaplanes which leaves from Hancock, MI or Grand Marais, MN.

All interested vendors for this industry day must respond by 4pm ET Friday, May 20, 2022 via email to Andrew Josephs at Andrew.Josephs@dot.gov with the positive interest, a list of personnel attending the site visit, and contact information. Each company will receive a confirmation email and instructions for the site visit by noon ET on Wednesday, June 1, 2022 or sooner if possible.

The solicitation is expected to be published in the late summer or early fall of 2022. The solicitation is anticipated to include requirements for a complete preliminary design, professional engineering stamped contract drawings and construction specifications, and construction cost estimate for Ranger

IV.

Scope of Work – Preliminary/Contract Design of Ranger IV

1.0 Introduction

Isle Royale National Park operates the motor vessel Ranger III between Houghton, MI and Isle Royale.

The Ranger III is the largest moving piece of equipment owned and operated by National Park Service and is the largest passenger ferry providing service to and from ISRO. There are many amenities on board during its five-hour voyage, including interpretive and educational programs, food sales, three staterooms, four lounges, two decks, and indoor and outdoor passenger seating. In addition to passengers, the Ranger III also transports fuel, food, small powerboats, and other bulk cargo to Isle Royale.

The Ranger III was constructed in 1958 and is nearing the end of its useful life. The Volpe Center, working with the National Park Service, is developing a Preliminary/Contract Design for a replacement vessel, Ranger IV. This Statement of Work defines the effort required for the Preliminary/Contract Design for the Ranger IV.

2.0 Requirements

The Contractor shall provide all labor, materials, and resources necessary to perform the following tasks.

2.1 Preliminary/Contract Design of Ranger IV

The Contractor shall perform the Preliminary/Contract Design for the Ranger IV, including engineering analyses, tradeoff studies, model testing, and engineering and design documentation (including drawings, reports, calculations, and classification society approvals) required as part of preliminary and contract designs. The vessel will be designed as both a passenger and cargo vessel, be designed to ABS class, and SOLAS and other USCG requirements. To the maximum extent practicable, the design shall incorporate commercial available equipment and technologies. The contract design shall include bidding specifications and a cost estimate for the design and construction of the Ranger IV. Additionally, the Contractor shall review and verify current dock layouts and equipment and recommend changes to shoreside infrastructure to accommodate a future Ranger IV.

The design shall incorporate the requirements, design goals, and features specified in the Basis of Design to the maximum extent possible. The Contractor shall inform the Government as soon as possible if, during the design cycle, not all requirements, goals, and features can be incorporated due to vessel size or other limitations, and shall provide recommendations as to trade-offs for inclusion.

The Contractor shall provide the management effort necessary to ensure the on-schedule completion of the Preliminary/Contract Design. The Contractor shall identify and take steps to correct all problems and potential problems arising during contract performance.

Data shall be prepared in accordance with this Contract and the Basis of Design. All deliverables (including specifications, drawings, design data, hull geometry file, and technical information developed by the Contactor) shall become the property of the United States Government. The data shall be provided to the United States Government without restrictions for use by the government or release by the government to others.

Additional details will be provided when the solicitation is released.
