Scope of Work The Mat Sinking Unit requires the rental of a crew boat to be used to assist with operations during the upcoming 2024 mat sinking season. The vessel will be utilized primarily to transport personnel and supplies between the USACE living quarters and the USACE plant where personnel work. The vessel will also be used to transport personnel/supplies to and from other parts of the Mat Sinking Unit fleet.

The pilot shall have a valid operator’s license as required by the Coast Guard, which shall be provided with the bid. The crew boat shall be capable of everything listed in the requirements section listed below.

The contract shall allow for vessel services as needed for the Mat Sinking Unit in accordance with the requirements below.

The contractor shall only bill for the actual number of days that the vessel(s) and pilot(s) are with the Mat Sinking Unit or are in route to/from the Mat Sinking Unit.

The contractor shall only bill for the number of days the vessel is operable. If the Corps-owned vessel is operable, the contractor vessel may be released from duty and could be called back out at a later time when needed.

Performance Period The Mat Sinking Unit requires that the period of performance last from about August 10, 2024 through about December 7, 2024 – 120 days. The dates are subject to change. All contract days are not guaranteed, and the vessel will be used less than 120 days each if the mat sinking season ends before 120 days. If the COR determines that the Mat Sinking Unit will not need the crewboat while Mat Sinking Unit is in operation, the vessel will be released of its duties and may be called back out for services later during the mat sinking season as necessary. The contract will have one line item for 120 days total to cover the entire season. In some cases, it might be required for the contractor to provide a 2nd crewboat and pilot. If a second vessel is used, the government will make payment for two service days for each day that two vessels are being utilized by the government.

Deficiencies The contractor will not be paid the contracted price if the vessel is not usable in accordance with the specifications. On days when the crew boat(s) is down for maintenance or down one engine, the vessel will be considered as in an “unavailable” status and will not be used by the government. Those days that the vessel(s) is in an “unavailable” status will be documented and will not be paid by the government. Any days when the vessel(s) is only fully running for a partial day will be billed as a half-day rate. If the vessel(s) is in an “unavailable” status due to be being down one engine, but the Mat Sinking Unit still needs to utilize the vessel, the contractor will be paid for those days at a half-day rate.
