Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Crane Vessel Services

9 February 2026 Part 1

General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personnel services contract to provide USACE, Seattle District, Navigation Section, a back-up crane vessel to fill in for the M/V PUGET. Primary tasks include the collection of floating debris within Puget Sound and its Tributary Waters and removing/installing equipment within the small lock and dams at Hiram M. Chittenden Locks. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The Contractor shall provide all management, personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and applicable licenses and permits necessary for crane services, as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) except for those items specified as Government furnished property and services. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract. Collected debris is to be off-loaded onto Government barges located at the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, 3015 NW 54th St., Seattle, WA 98107. Crane services need to occur at this location and may occur throughout Puget Sound.

1.2 Scope and Services: The Contractor shall provide a towed or self-propelled floating crane vessel and crew capable of two primary missions: (1) Scheduled equipment removal and installation work at the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks and (2) Collection of floating debris in the Puget Sound area.

1.2.1 Vessel and Crane Requirements:

• The required vessel must accommodate a maximum draft of seven (7) feet for navigating shallow waters. The vessel should be equipped with a crane capable of a minimum reach and lifting capacity of 10,000 lbs. at 70 feet and 20,000 lbs. at 40 feet from the crane's center. This vessel would primarily service the central Puget Sound area. Specific target locations include the Lake Washington Ship Canal, Coast Guard Sector Puget Sound, Pier 66, Bremerton, and the police ponds on Lake Washington, where debris concentrations are known to be high and holding pens for debris need to be cleared. On-site direction and oversight of the locations of work will be provided. General rigging equipment for various sizes to complete lifts in the above ranges will be the responsibility of the Contractor. Custom rigging or spreader bars for specific component lifts may be provided when deemed necessary by Government.

• The vessel shall have a minimum 30-foot beam, based on debris storage barge beam of 30 foot, to maximize storage capacity. Deck capacity shall be at least 60 tons to minimize mobilization and de-mobilization costs. Vessel must comply with EM 385-1-1 requirements.

• Crane shall have a minimum capacity of 20 tons after floating plant deductions. Crane must comply with EM 385-1-1 requirements.

• Government crews may be deployed with small craft in areas such as Everett, Tacoma, and Olympia to tow logs to designated secure storage locations or directly to Contractor vessel.

Once enough logs have accumulated, the crane vessel can be activated for removal.

Government will determine when barges are at capacity. However, it should be noted that this collection method is less efficient, as "on the fly" debris removal accounts for approximately 90% of the total collection volume. Due to the specialized nature of the mission, the ability to predict debris locations is limited, making precise timing a significant factor. Continuous, daily operations are typically conducted across a broad area of the Sound.

1.2.2 Service and Personnel Requirements:

• Contractor will work ten (10) hour days, between Monday and Friday. Work will consist of a combination of work at Hiram M. Chittenden Locks and within Puget Sound.

• Scheduled crane services should occur on a schedule agreed on between Government and Contractor, as stated in the scope within this PWS.

• Vessel Captain/Master must maintain a Merchant Mariner Credential for the vessel capacity operated IAW EM 385-1-1.

• Crane Operator must maintain a license for the type of crane operated IAW EM 385-1-1.

• Deckhands/riggers must be properly trained and designated in proper rigging and chainsaw operations IAW EM 385-1-1.

• Debris shall be cut into approximately 26-foot lengths, with all root balls removed.

• Collected debris shall be offloaded onto Government debris barges at the Hiram M.

Chittenden Locks, 3015 NW 54th St., Seattle WA 98107.

• The work area is Puget Sound and its Tributary Waters, WA. A map of the authorized operating area will be provided.

1.3 Period of Performance: The period of performance shall be 12 months from contract from March 2, 2026 to March 1, 2027.

1.4 General Information

1.4.1 Quality Control: The Contractor shall develop and maintain an effective quality control program to ensure services are performed in accordance with this PWS. The Contractor shall develop and implement procedures to identify, prevent, and ensure non-recurrence of defective services.

After acceptance of the quality control plan, the Contractor shall receive the Contracting Officer’s acceptance in writing of any proposed change to his QC system.

1.4.2 Quality Assurance: The Government shall evaluate the Contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan.
