Mobile Harbor Marine Lift Boat

The Contractor shall provide a self-propelled lift-vessel capable of operating within 50-feet of water in order to support drilling operations within Mobile Alabama Harbor. The purpose for using a lift-vessel is to provide a safe, stable, work platform for USACE drilling crews while drilling operations are underway. The lift-vessel shall be fully manned and capable of supporting drilling operations within the Mobile Harbor. The estimated number of days to complete the drilling mission, including weather delays, is 28 days; this does not include the time to mobilize the vessel to Mobile Harbor. The number of days could extend to a total of 39 days if the optional CPT borings are executed. The estimated number of days may change depending on customer needs. The Contractor shall also supply a crew boat to transport the drilling crew and any supplemental supplies to and from the lift-vessel; a crane capable of lifting up to 50,000lbs to load and unload drill rig and supplies. The Contractor will supply adequate dock space to load and unload necessary supplies and equipment for use in the proposed contract.
 
The contractor shall be responsible for securing the drilling rig to the vessel which meets the approval of the Government, if needed. There is to be sufficient room on deck to accommodate 20’ drill string lay-downs during drilling operations; if not, a rod-trough that extends outside of the deck footprint may need to be constructed at the cost of the contractor. The contractor shall provide sufficient working area around the drill rig to allow the crew to safely conduct drilling operations; this may require construction of additional deck space.
