SCOPE OF WORK

SCOPE OF SERVICES FOR

RENTAL OF ONE TOWBOAT WITH OPERATING PERSONNEL

1. General The object of these specifications is to secure towing of the crane barge Henry M. Shreve for the US Army, Corps of Engineers, Louisville District, from Louisville Repair Station located immediately upstream of McAlpine Locks and Dam to Olmsted Locks and Dam by renting one towboat with all necessary operating personnel. There may be commercial barges in the tow provided there are no stops to interrupt the delivery of the Shreve and the towboat can fleet the Shreve and barges into its tow unaided. The contractor’s towboat shall have a minimum horsepower of 4000 horsepower (HP). The towboat will tow the Heavy Lift Crane Henry M.

Shreve (SHREVE) LD-777 and Barge LD 780, and up to two 54’ x 140’ flat deck equipment barges to the destinations listed in the bid schedule.

a. The dates given in the bid schedule are the projected pickup and delivery dates at the given locations. Actual pickup and delivery dates and times may change. The Government reserves the right to adjust this date to meet its repair project schedule. Notice of such a change will be given as soon as possible, with a goal of notifying the contractor not later than 14 days prior to any new delivery date.

b. The SHREVE is a heavy lift crane permanently affixed to a 300 foot long by 100 foot wide by 14 foot molded depth hull. A barge, LD-780, is coupled to the stern of the SHREVE during towing. The LD-780 is 34 foot long by 100 foot wide by 8 foot molded depth. The towing draft of the SHREVE is 5 feet 9 inches. There is extremely limited forward visibility for the pilot when the SHREVE is in tow due to the height of the crane and gate stowage structure (see photo at end of specifications). A dedicated lookout shall be stationed at the head of the tow during towing operations. The SHREVE’s gate stowage structure blocks signals from towboat mounted radar antennas. The SHREVE has an enclosed lookout station on the front of the crane barge Questions concerning technical details of the SHREVE may be directed to the technical representative, Brian Holcomb at (502) 315-6702.

c. High steel of the SHREVE is the top of the three spuds at 61 feet 0 inches (based on a 5 foot 9 inch draft).

Spuds can be lowered and dogged at 55 feet 0 inches for transiting under low objects, but this increases the draft of the vessel. The fixed high steel of the SHREVE is the storage racks at 55 feet 0 inches to the top of the handrail.

d. Priority lockage shall be given at all locks in route on the Ohio River during mobilization and while the Shreve is in tow. Priority lockage will not be given while returning to port.

2. Inspection of Equipment.

a. After award and prior to the tow, the Contracting Officer or his/her authorized representative will make an inspection of the contractor’s towboat (noted by name and horsepower with the bid) to determine the condition and suitability for the service for which it will be used. The contractor will contact the technical representative at the telephone number above immediately after award to coordinate inspection. If it is 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 contractor shall provide a towboat that meets the requirements stated herein. If deficiencies are of a minor nature and may be easily repaired, the contractor will be given three days to correct all deficiencies found. If the deficiencies are not corrected within the three-day period, the contract may be terminated. Towboats must meet the requirements as outlined in the latest edition of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Safety and Health Requirements Manual (EM 385-1- 1). This inspection will not relieve the Contractor from the satisfactory operation of the equipment during the period of the contract or any extension thereof.

3. Insurance

a. Evidence of insurance shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer or his/her authorized representative within two days after award. Certificate of Insurance shall be for the duration of the contract.

b. Workmen’s Compensation. Workmen’s Compensation and Occupation Disease Coverage as legally required by the State wherein the work is being performed.

c. Comprehensive General Liability Insurance (to include government furnished or contractor furnished vessel usage). Bodily injury coverage with minimum limits of $500,000 per occurrence shall be required.

Property damage coverage with a minimum limit of $100,000 per occurrence shall be required. Property damage coverage with a minimum limit of $100,000 per occurrence shall be required. THUS, THE

COMBINED SINGLE LIMIT SHALL BE AT LEAST $600,000.

d. Marine Liability Insurance. The contractor shall procure and maintain marine insurance, including Hull and Protection and Indemnity in the minimum amount of $40,000,000 for the Shreve, Barge LD-780, and the two flat deck barges and equipment, per occurrence (including Jones Act and Collision and Towers liability insurance). Notwithstanding the foregone, the Contractor shall assure that it has sufficient marine liability insurance to cover the value of any damage to or loss of the vessels being towed.

4. Delivery and Release.

a. The towboat shall arrive at the above specified pickup points at the dates and times indicated. The towboat shall then tow the SHREVE and Barge LD-780 to the designated delivery point by the date and time specified.

b. The towboat shall be released after mooring the SHREVE at the designated site.

5. Payments.

a. Payments will be made after receipt of a proper invoice. Invoices shall be sent electronically to the technical representative. Brian.L.Holcomb@usace.army.mil

b. 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.

c. Delays encountered in route beyond the control of the Contractor: There are currently no expectations of delays to be encountered in route beyond the control of the contractor, such as high water limiting passage of the crane barge under bridges, river closures or the like. However, if such delays are encountered, they will be evaluated for accuracy and paid for under the bid item for such delays.

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. 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.

6. Performance of Plant.

a. Award of the Contract and acceptance of the towboat does not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for the satisfactory performance of the boat. Time is of the essence in the delivery of services under the Contract; “Best possible speed for conditions” will be maintained by the towboat used. 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.

7. Control and Responsibility.

a. The operation of the towboat shall at all times be under the direction of the Contractor or designated employees.

8. Supervision.

a. Proper supervision will be maintained on the towboat by the Contractor to ensure compliance with the terms of the contract.
