Section C - Descriptions and Specifications

SCOPE OF WORK

SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE

LEASE OF ONE TENDER BOAT WITH OPERATING PERSONNEL

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

1. Object of These Specifications.

It is the object of these specifications to secure for the Government by leasing, one tender boat with operating personnel. The boat will be used on the Mississippi River from Cairo, Illinois,(Mile 953.8 AHP) to the Head of Passes (Mile 0.0), the Old River, the Atchafalaya River, the Red River (Louisiana), the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) as far west as the Calcasieu River and the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet (MRGO). The tender will transport Government barges at job sites as may be directed by the Contracting Officer or his representative. All mileage will be the mileage shown in the latest editions of the Flood Control and Navigation Maps of the above mentioned waterways. These are prepared under the direction of the President, Mississippi River Commission, U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, P.O.

Box 80, Vicksburg, MS 39181-0080.

This contract will consist of a base year period with 4 option year periods. The contractor will have the opportunity to be awarded up to four option year periods dependent upon job performance.

2. Inspection of Equipment.

Prior to award, a Corps of Engineers representative will make an inspection of the equipment offered to determine the condition and suitability for the service for which it will be used. If found that the equipment offered is not suitable for the purpose intended, or that it is not in good mechanical condition, it will not be accepted and the bidder on that equipment may be rejected as non-responsive. If deficiencies are of a minor nature and may be easily repaired, the bidder will be given seven days to correct all deficiencies found. Examples of minor deficiencies are found on the MVK Form 385-18-R, Safety Inspection Checklist for Towboats and Tenders. If the deficiencies are not corrected within the seven-day period, the bidder will be rejected as non-responsive. However, in case of award, this inspection will not relieve the Contractor from the satisfactory operation of the equipment during the period of the contract or any extension thereof. Additionally, the contractor shall submit the completed Data Sheet with bid.

3. Delivery and Release.

Delivery of this boat shall be made afloat to the Mat Sinking Unit at the Vicksburg Harbor in Vicksburg, MS, or as directed by the COR or Mat Sinking Unit Chief. It is expected, but not guaranteed, that delivery of the boat will be required on or about August 28, 2016. When delivered, the boat shall be ready for operation and in good operating condition. The boat will be used to help assemble and tow the Mat Sinking Unit fleet to its first job location. The boat will be released to the Contractor after returning to Vicksburg, MS, at the completion of the 2016 Mat Sinking season. The 2016 season is expected to last about 3 months. The anticipated tender release date (which will fluctuate) is estimated to be at the end of November. The vessel must get approval from the COR or Mat Sinking Unit Chief before leaving.

As mentioned in Paragraph 1, this contract will consist of a base year performance period along with 4 option year periods. Each performance period will last for the duration of the Mat Sinking season plus towing time and any time needed for assembly/disassembly of tows. If the contractor delivers satisfactory job performance, they will be awarded another option year if the government chooses to exercise the option. The maximum contract duration is 5 years. Each season typically lasts about 3-6 months. The vessel will be required to stay with the Mat Sinking Unit for at least the entire duration of the season.

4. Payments.

a. Payments will be made bi-weekly after receipt of a proper invoice. Invoices may be sent electronically in pdf or word format to nathanael.j.jabour@usace.army.mil and CEFC-B4invoices@usace.army.mil. Payment will be made by the Disbursing Officer, U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Finance Center, 7800 3rd Avenue, Millington, TN 38054-5005.

b. Except as provided in subparagraph d. below, payment will be made for the number of hours of actual use during the time that the boat is retained in the custody of the COR. Time will begin on the day that the boat is delivered to the COR as stated in paragraph 3 above, and end on the day that the boat is finally released to the Contractor. Actual use does not include non-work days.

c. Payment will be made at the applicable hourly rate stipulated in the contract, calculated to the nearest hour.

d. No payment will be made for lost time due to breakdowns, or for any causes due to the fault or negligence of the Contractor or his employees.

e. Lost Time. Lost time will be considered as the time when the boat is inoperative because of breakdowns and/or other causes due to the fault or negligence of the Contractor or his employees. If due to job requirements, the boat is allowed to work with one engine inoperative, the unit price will be reduced to seventy percent (70%) of the applicable contract amount. Time lost for minor repairs and/or adjustments to the boat which, in the opinion of the contracting officer, does not interfere with or result in loss of operating time, will not be charged as lost time to the Contractor.

5. Contract Period.

a. It is estimated that the tender will be used approximately 192 days this season. It is expected that the tender will generally be used 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. However, these days are not guaranteed and the Government reserves the right to use the tender for more or less days as needed. The right is also reserved by the Government to suspend use of the tender for any period when the Government revetment operations are suspended.

6. Performance of Plant.

a. Award of the Contract and acceptance of the boat shall not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for the satisfactory performance of the boat. Notwithstanding the estimated days and hours of operation contained in Paragraph 5 above, time is of the essence in the delivery of services under the Contract. Strict compliance with the delivery schedule is essential and untimely delivery of the services required under the Contract, or other unsatisfactory performance, will jeopardize the interests of the Government. The delivery schedule and the services performed by the boat are crucial to the Government operations, which it will be assisting. Failure to meet the delivery schedule for this item will be cause for immediate termination of the Contract as described in paragraph (a) (1) of the DEFAULT clause of the Contract. In addition, if at any time during the contract period it is determined by the Contracting Officer that the boat is not capable of doing satisfactory work and/or meeting the delivery schedule, the contract may be terminated. The Contracting Officer will exercise his discretion as to the best interest of the Government. However, the Contractor is put on notice that the contract for the boat may be terminated if the boat is inoperable or not capable of safely operating for a total of 24 hours in any seven-day period, or if the tender is inoperable on one engine for a total of 48 hours in any seven day period. Payment will be made as provided in paragraph 4 above only for the time accrued prior to the date of termination.

b. If the Contracting Officer allows the tender to work with only one engine, as described in paragraph 4.e.

above, this in no way relieves the Contractor from the time constraints described above. All time allowed to work on one engine will be considered in computing the time periods described above as conditions for termination.

c. The conditions listed above are not a complete listing of causes for termination and the Government reserves the right to terminate the Contract for any other conditions of default as determined by the Contracting Officer and in accordance with the termination clauses of the Contract.

7. Control and Responsibility.

a. The Contracting Officer or the COR shall direct the location or site of work and the hours of work. However, the rental is to be considered as a time charter, as distinguished from a demise or a bare boat charter, and the operation of the vessel shall at all times be under the direction of the Contractor or his employees.

b. Except to respond to an immediate emergency, the Contractor shall not cease to perform an assigned mission or cease to comply with his operating orders that are in effect. Neither shall the boat leave the immediate area of assigned responsibility without obtaining permission from the COR in charge of the operations being performed.

8. Supervision.

Proper supervision will be maintained on the boat by the Contractor to insure compliance with the terms of the contract and the orders of the Contracting Officer. The Contractor's authorized representatives will be designated in writing at the time of delivery of the boat and at any time thereafter when such authorized representatives may be changed. No instructions of the COR or lack thereof will at any time relieve the Contractor from the responsibility of complying fully with all requirements of the contract. In case of differences arising between the COR and the Contractor or his agent, appeal may be made to the Contracting Officer, whose decision shall be final. The COR is not authorized to waive nor alter in any respect any of the terms or requirements of the contract, or to make additional requirements.

9. EM 385-1-1, Safety and Health Requirements. Contractors are required to comply with the latest version, and all posted changes, of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements Manuel in effect from the time of contract award. EM 385-1-1 and changes are available on the Internet at http://140.194.76.129/publications/eng-manuals (at the HQ homepage, select "Safety and Occupational Health", and then select "EM 385-1-1" for the manual or, "changes to EM" for the most recent changes to the manual).

Prior to making an offer, bidders should check the referenced website for the latest changes. No separate payment will be made for compliance with the requirements of this paragraph, or for compliance with other safety requirements of the contract.

a. Accident Prevention Program. At least 7 days prior to commencement of the work, four copies of the Accident Prevention Program shall be submitted to the COR for review and approval. The program shall be prepared in the following format:

(1) An executed LMV Form 358R, Administrative Plan. (A blank copy of the form will be furnished upon request.)

(2) An executed LMV Form 359R, Job Hazard Analysis. (A blank copy of the form will be furnished upon request.)

(3) A copy of company policy statement of accident prevention and any other guidance statements normally provided to new employees.

(4) A statement as to the method of fuel oil transfer shall be included. (Refer to 33 CFR 156.)

All of the signals shall be so interconnected that they can be activated from at least one strategically located point on each deck level.

(3) Emergency Signals.

3.1 Fire Alarm Signals.

3.1.1 The general fire alarm signal shall be a continuous blast of the ship's whistle for a period not less than 10 seconds supplemented by the continuous sounding of the general alarm signal for not less than 10 seconds.

h. Ground Fault Protection. All single-phase, 15- and 20-ampere receptacle outlets shall have approved ground-fault protection for personnel. The ground-fault circuit interrupter shall be calibrated to trip a ground-fault current of 5 ma or less.

10. Expenses of Operation and Repair.

a. Except as hereinafter provided, the Contractor shall furnish at his own expense all operator(s) labor, lubricating oils, greases, appliances, appurtenances, equipment, materials, and bear all expenses incidental to the efficient operation of the boat in connection with the work under the contract. The Contractor shall also bear all direct overhead and collateral expenses incidental to the operation, upkeep, and repair of the boat; shall maintain the boat in a good state of repair and shall arrange for a supply of renewal parts to be on hand when needed for the boat. The Contractor shall furnish the boat full of fuel at the point of delivery. Thereafter, all fuel for the operation of the boat under this contract will be furnished by the Government, without cost to the Contractor, including release of the boat full of fuel at the point of release.

b. When the Government is furnishing transportation to any employees working at the same location that the Contractor's boat is being used, the same transportation facilities to the extent of available space, will be available for use by the Contractor or his employees without cost to the Contractor. For and in consideration of this privilege the Contractor releases, and agrees to indemnify and save harmless the United States from any and all claims, damage demands, actions, rights of action, costs and/or charges resulting from any loss, death, injury or property damages sustained by the Contractor, his employees, and all agents, representatives, heirs or assigns, incident to, or as a result of the use of such transportation.

c. When personnel of the Government unit using the Contractor's boat are working in connection with the Government floating plant, the Contractor may, after obtaining the consent of the Officer in Charge of such plant, tie up to the plant while it is at anchor or tied off to the bank. If mutually agreeable to the Government and the Contractor, the Contractor's boat will be taken into tow by the Government plant; provided, that it will be the responsibility solely of the Contractor to properly secure his boat to the Government plant; and further provided that in the event the Contractor's boat is taken in tow by the Government plant, the Contractor will have on board the tow at all times a qualified operator. If the Contractor's boat is not taken into tow by the Government plant, it will be the sole responsibility of the Contractor to see that his boat is separated therefrom and moved to a safe distance prior to any movement of the Government plant. For and in consideration of the aforesaid privilege, the Contractor releases and agrees to indemnify and save harmless the United States from any and all claims, damages, demands, actions, rights of action, costs and/or charges resulting from any loss, death, injury or property damage sustained by the Contractor, his employees, and all agents, representatives, heirs, or assigns incident to, or as a result of the exercise of said privilege.

11. Pollution Control.

a. Contamination of Water. The Contractor shall not pollute lakes, ditches, rivers, and reservoirs with fuels, oils, bitumens, calcium chloride, insecticides, herbicides, or other similar materials harmful to fish, shellfish, or wildlife, or materials which may be a detriment to outdoor recreation. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to investigate and comply with all applicable Federal, State, County, and Municipal laws, regulations and ordinances concerning pollution of rivers and streams, and protection of health, shellfish, fish, and domestic animals.

b. Disposal of Materials. The methods and locations of disposal of materials, wastes, effluent, trash, garbage, oil, grease, chemicals, etc., shall be such that harmful debris will not enter lakes, ditches, rivers, or reservoirs by erosion. The Contractor will be responsible for the disposal of all solid or hazardous waste (if applicable) in accordance with Coast Guard Regulations, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regulations and Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs).

c. Environmental Compliance. Failure to comply with all applicable Federal, State, Local and Coast Guard laws, regulations and ordinances concerning waste disposal and environmental protection will constitute separate and sufficient cause for Termination for Default of this contract.

12. Subsistence and Quarters.

a. Subsistence and quarters will not be made available to the Contractor or his employees under this contract.

13. Test Run. Upon delivery of the tender, the tender shall be subject to a test run to determine if it is capable of performing in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 15h. If the tender satisfactorily complies with that paragraph, it will be accepted as of the date and hour the tests are completed, however, if the tender fails to comply, it will not be accepted. The contractor will be given 24 hours from the date of delivery in which to make such changes as he desires to the tender in order for it to comply with the above requirements. If the tender still fails to comply with the specifications within the 24-hour period, the contract will be terminated without cost to the Government. If the tender complies with the specifications within the 24-hour period, it will be accepted as of the date and hour that the second test runs are satisfactorily completed, subject to continued satisfactory performance under the contract.

14. Personnel

a. Upon delivery of the boat, the Contractor shall furnish the Engineer in Charge, Mat Sinking Unit, a complete list of all contractor employees who will be working in any capacity on the boat along with their schedule of work and a copy of their licenses.

Under the provisions of paragraph "Objectionable Employees", operators and/or deckhands furnished by the Contractor who, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer or his authorized representative, are determined incompetent or otherwise objectionable, shall be promptly replaced by the Contractor. Failure to provide competent and capable operators and deckhands at all times will be considered a failure to provide proper performance of the plant and will be grounds for termination of the contract and for the Government to hire other boat(s) with which to continue the work. Should this occur and the cost of the replacement boat(s) hired exceeds the cost of the boat(s)covered by this contract, the excess cost will be assessed to the Contractor.

d. The tender shall have a certified tankerman or PIC approved by the Coast Guard (to take on fuel) on board at all times. Any crewmember that holds a current U. S. Coast Guard tankerman certificate may serve as tankerman.
