Questions for W912P8-15-B-0041:

Section 35 01 50.73 Surveys and Channel Bottom Grab Sampling

2.1.1 Survey Boat

a. The Contractor shall furnish survey vessel(s), diesel or gasoline powered, twin engine, not less than

30-ft. in length, and equipped with the following:

2.1.2 Skiff

The Contractor shall furnish at no additional cost to the Government one skiff with an enclosed cabin, overall hull length of at least 22 feet and a combined weight capacity of at least 1200 pounds. The skiff shall bear a plate of certification for minimum boat flotation by the Boating Industry Association (BIA) and shall also meet the safety requirements in EM 385-1-1.The skiff shall be used to transport

Government personnel to disposal areas and all points on the jobsite and be able to perform surveys in the disposal areas. The skiff shall be outfitted with two outboard motors of at least 40 horsepower (HP) for propulsion (with one 40 horsepower backup outboard motor available). The minimum full time crew for the survey skiff shall be one operator for the day shift. Refer to EM 385 1 1, Section 19.F, for additional crew and equipment requirements.

Section 35 20 23.23 Hydraulic Dredging

2.1.3.3 Crew Boats

The Contractor shall furnish, throughout the contract period, two diesel powered crew boats, with twin propellers, capable of maintaining and traveling no less than the minimum speed of 25 miles per hour /

22 knots, not less than 40 feet in overall length, with enclosed space for at least six passengers after installation of all required equipment.

The crew boats shall meet or exceed all applicable US Coast Guard regulations for vessels 65 feet or less in length, and shall be certified by the US Coast Guard. The crew boats shall be equipped with the following:

Section 35 20 23.23

3.4 Cutterhead Dredge and Attendant Plant Data Sheet

The Dredge and Attendant Plant Data sheet has space for one Crew Boat (#10)

Question #1:

The above spec sections indicate a survey vessel, skiff, and two crew boats are required for the project.

Also, please note the Cutterhead Dredge and Attendant Plant Data Sheet has a single item (#10) for providing the information regarding one crew boat. Can the Government explain the need for two crew boats to allow the Contractor a better understanding of each crew boats’ usage?

One crew boat is for the exclusive use of the Government and will be used solely for providing the

Government Inspectors and Government agents’ transportation. The second crew boat can be used for any reason deemed necessary by the Contractor. In the past, due to the potentially long distance from the shore to the dredging region, problems occurred when we required only one crew boat. Two crew boats have been required for this dredging project since 2003, and this requirement has been deemed very effective. Note: As part of this amendment, we have revised the Cutterhead Dredge and Attendant

Plant Data Sheet to account for the requirement of two crew boats.

Question #2:

Will the Government consider dropping the requirement down to one crew boat?

No. Please see the response to Question #1 above.

Question #3:

If the Government will not reduce the number of crew boats from two to one, will the Government consider allowing the Survey Vessel to act as a second crew boat if it does not meet the required minimum 40’ length, but can accommodate 6 passengers and meets all applicable US Coast Guard regulations?

No. Please see the response to Question #1 above. In addition, the survey vessel is used to conduct surveys throughout the duration of the project and therefore needs to be available at all times for this mission.

Question #4:

Are the crew boat(s) required to be available 24-hours per day?

Yes. This is stated in Section 35 20 23.23, paragraph 2.1.3.3 entitled “Crew Boats”.

Question #5:

Can the operator of the skiff have collateral duty and operate the survey vessel as well?

The operators for these vessels must have the proper licenses, and the use of the skiff may be required at the same time as the survey vessel.
