PERFORMANCE WORK STAEMENT

Aircraft Services to Deploy Sensors on Sea Ice, Northern Alaska

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) requires the services of an aircraft in March 2025 to support sea ice research on floating sea ice located offshore from Northern Alaska. The aircraft shall land on unimproved drifting sea ice located up to 300 nm (nautical miles) from base locations in Prudhoe Bay, Utqiagvik, and Kaktovik, AK to deploy research buoys provided by CRREL. Unimproved landing sites are typically refrozen leads with little snow and ice over 80cm thick. On-ice time can vary from 15 minutes to 4 hours to deploy the buoy and collect necessary site data.

2.0 MISSION OVERVIEW

CRREL has a requirement to deploy twenty-five (25) research buoys on floating sea ice located off the coast of northern Alaska including 23 “small” and 2 “large” buoys detailed below. Exact coordinates of sea ice targets shall be provided by CRREL after award and at mission time, considering active ice conditions. Notionally these are anticipated to be distributed approximately in a rectangular grid pattern in an area between 10 and 200 nm from the Alaska Beaufort Sea shoreline and between the longitude of 143W and 156W.

2.1 Requisite Capabilities

To accomplish this mission, the vendor shall operate out of base locations in Prudhoe Bay, Utqiagvik, and Kaktovik, AK in an aircraft capable of short field landings on un-improved sea ice at a radius of up to 300nm from each base location. Short field landing capability is defined as 1200 ft or less takeoff and landing over a 50 ft object at maximum gross weight as listed in the aircraft POH.

2.1.1 Aircraft: Based on experience, aircraft that have been successful executing similar missions in the past are wheel-ski-equipped aircraft including, for example, the DHC2- Beaver, DHC3-Otter, and DHC6-Twin Otters. Vendor quotes must explain the exact kind of aircraft and landing gear that will be used in execution of this work.

Additionally, the aircraft shall be able to accommodate up to 450 pounds of payload comprised of scientific equipment including ten (10) small buoys at a time (each measuring 2ft x 1ft x 2ft and weighing 30 pounds) or two (2) large buoys at a time (each measuring 8ft x 1ft x 2ft and weighing 90 pounds) and additional scientific equipment not to exceed 40 cubic ft. In addition to the payload, the aircraft shall be able to carry sufficient fuel load (possibly including auxiliary tanks) for deployment to the maximum range (300 nm), including 15 minutes of circling, and return with a safety margin of 1 hour of flight time or more.

Aircraft shall also be equipped with a radar altimeter, a satellite phone hard-wired into the radio and another portable satellite phone, and winter survival gear for the persons onboard.

The pilot must have communication equipment onboard to communicate with CRREL staff on-land to confirm the buoy is operational prior to departure. In their quote, the offeror shall also provide their safety check-in procedure that includes flight tracking and two-way communications with a base before and after every phase of flight operations.

The government evaluation panel has extensive experience working in this area and will review quotes to ensure these attributes are fulfilled. The government must feel confident that the proposed airplane, landing gear, and other attributes are practical for this mission.

Quotes failing to confidently meet these requirements shall be excluded from consideration.

2.1.2 Pilot: The pilot and crew shall be physically capable of lifting and maneuvering all the aforementioned scientific equipment in cold conditions. The pilot shall also be responsible for receiving training from CRREL in the process required to deploy the buoys on the sea ice, which includes drilling through the ice, assembling the buoy, installing it, collecting ancillary measurements, and communicating with CRREL staff on-land to confirm buoys are functional prior to departure from the sea ice. Site data shall also be collected for each buoy deployment location (see Section 2.2 for details).

The vendor shall include material in their quote packages demonstrating prior experience and competency in the nature of this mission, including both operating aviation in extreme cold temperatures (down to negative 45F) and landing on Arctic sea ice off the coast of Alaska. Materials demonstrating these experience requirements apply to both the pilot operating the mission and the company overall (i.e., both the pilot and the company must have prior experience). CRREL will evaluate this material as part of the selection process to ensure confidence in the vendor’s bid, and CRREL may ask clarifying questions during the quote selection process based on material provided. Quotes failing to confidently demonstrate this experience shall be excluded from consideration.

2.2 Mission Scope

The mission requires deploying instruments and collecting observations during landings on the sea ice at locations up to 300 nm from the base sites.

2.2.1 Landing Sites: Are selected in a general 10 x 10 nm target areas provided by CRREL based on satellite observations of sea ice locations prior to each flight. The exact landing location is determined by circling over the area for suitable landing ice, typically a refrozen lead with little snow and ice over 80 cm thick. The landing site must be adjacent to ice that is of typical character for the area: “typical ice” generally has deeper snow and between 1.25m and 2.25m thick into which the buoy will be deployed, either by walking from the landing site or taxiing the aircraft.

2.2.2 Onsite Ice Work: Once a suitable site is found and landing is complete, the aircraft remains on the ice until deployment is completed and verified. On-ice time can vary from 15 minutes to 4 hours and the pilot needs to be prepared to keep the aircraft engine warm as needed during this time. Required on ice activities include, but are not limited to, drilling holes in the ice to deploy the ice buoy, measuring snow and ice properties, and conducting surveys/sampling activities up to 300m away from the plane. The activities require 3 buoy boxes that measure 8ft x 1ft x 2ft and weigh 90lb each as well as approximately 180 pounds of other scientific equipment, that includes 3ft long drilling strings, augers, and various equipment in pelican cases up to 30in x 25in x 10in. The total size of the non-buoy load does not exceed 40 cubic ft. Depending up on the configuration of available landing and deployment sites it may be necessary for the pilot / crew to haul this equipment hundreds of meters once on the surface.

There are two different types of buoys in this scope of work, referred to here as simply “large” and “small” buoys. The large buoys are spar-type buoys that require a 10 inch diameter hole drilled through the ice for deployment, weigh 90 pounds, and require some assembly on the ice. Typical deployment time is 1-4 hours. “Small” buoys rest on the surface of the ice with a single sensor deployed in a 2.5 inch diameter hole and frozen in.

“Small” buoy deployment is considerably faster and can be accomplished in as little as 15 minutes onsite.

2.2.3 Site Data: Shall also be collected for each buoy deployment including: a photo of the buoy showing installation according to training provided by CRREL (one photo each from the ground and the air); a measurement of the ice thickness obtained using a 2 inch auger mounted on a cordless drill provided by CRREL; freeboard (amount the ice surface protrudes above sea level in the bore hole); snow depth at the location of the install; and a 200m transect of snow depth measurements taken every 2.5m with an automated snow depth probe that will be provided by CRREL. Based on CRREL experience, Site Data collection work typically takes 30 minutes or less.

2.3 Estimated Mission Schedule

The following is provided based on past experience executing this work. The overall mission likely requires ~5 successful mission days in each of the three locations, for a total of 15 fully successful flight days with approximately 7 hours flight time each. This totals 105 flight hours, plus ferry hours between sites, plus ferry hours to the first site (Utqiagvik) and home from the last site (Kaktovik). This is an estimate only and the contractor may require more or less hours to accomplish the mission. Past experience has shown that successfully accomplishing these mission days can often require aircraft availability for between 2 and 3 times as many days as actual flight operations occur on. Therefore, this mission could easily require aircraft availability for 15 days in each location (45 days total). As conditions permit, it is the science team’s preference that the vendor be flexible to move to the next location as soon as mission is achieved at each site, so that early completion at one site can provide additional opportunity for completion at the next.

2.4 Quote Requirements

Quotes shall be presented assuming a firm fixed price award where the contractor shall cover the necessary price to achieve all the tasks in Section 4. Quotes shall assume that the CRREL team will travel to each deployment base location (on their own) and CRREL will ship all buoys to each of the deployment base locations to provide to the contractor.

Quotes shall address how the contractor satisfies the Requisite Capabilities outlined in Section 2.1.

Prices for each of the tasks in Section 4 shall be separately listed in the offeror’s quote:

Task 1: Planning and Coordination Meeting (price for the entire Task) Task 2: Complete CRREL’s Buoy Deployment Training (price for the entire Task) Task 3: Contractor Deploys Buoys.
