Background The Shearwater is a 62' long, 72 Gross Ton catamaran research vessel that supports scientific and educational missions in Channel Islands, and Southern California Coast. The Shearwater has a beam of 24' and a draft of 6.0'. Benefits to the government and public from proposed work This work must be accomplished no later than February 20, 2012, in order to conduct research and education missions in the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary. Vessel Availability Prior to Bid The vessel will be made available June 24th in Santa Barbara Harbor for Inspection prior to bidding, should potential bidders require seeing the vessel in person to assemble an accurate bid. All potential bidders shall coordinate with Vessel Operations Coordinator no later than one week prior to arrange a visit. Bidding The contractor shall include labor and materials quotes for each of the base and option items. Period of Performance August 1st 2011 to February 20th, 2012. Schedule The vessel is an emergency response vessel and needs to be available in case of an emergency. The work requiring the vessel to be out of the water for this contract shall be completed in 30 calendar days from when work first commences. The contractor shall coordinate with the Vessel Operations Coordinator to determine when work first commences and the vessel is hauled out. The haul out is anticipated to occur on or about December 1st, 2011, however this may change to a later date within the period of performance. Work that can be conducted with the vessel alongside in a Mediterranean moorage, subject to harbor regulations, may commence at the vessel's berth in Santa Barbara Harbor on October 3rd, 2011, but is subject to the availability of the vessel and shall be coordinated with the Vessel Operations Coordinator. Work conducted with the vessel alongside shall not impede the operability of the vessel for more than 5 consecutive calendar days at a time, and must be completed within 15 total days. If alongside work does not take place in Santa Barbara Harbor, it shall be conducted alongside at a facility provided by the contractor either before or after the haul out, however not to exceed 15 calendar days beyond the 30 calendar days associated with out-of-the-water work. Work that may be conducted with the vessel alongside is denoted with an asterisk (*). Location The contract shall propose the location for repairs. The vessel is to be transported at sea by the government to and from the repair facility. The government shall asses the cost of $30/per Nautical Mile at sea from Santa Barbara Harbor, to and from the proposed repair facility in determining the lowest cost proposal. The government shall include the travel costs of a Santa Barbara-based inspector in accordance with the JFTR (Joint Federal Travel Regulations) during the entire duration of repairs NOT conducted in Santa Barbara to determine the lowest cost proposal. Acceptance of Work Upon completion of the work, the vessel shall be sea trialed by the CINMS vessel crew with a representative of the contractor aboard to ensure the work has been satisfactorily completed. Any corrections to work performed, if required, will commence immediately upon return to the shipyard, and be completed as expediently as possible. The need for corrective work after sea trials will not be grounds for extending the performance period beyond that stated above. B] BASE WORK ITEMS 1] Drydock, cleaning, inspection, undock: The vessel shall be lifted in a drydock; marine railway; or by travel lift rated for 75 tons or greater. The vessel shall be blocked without list or trim. The vessel shall not be lifted by a sling or crane which does not allow for even, vertical support of the entire vessel. There are strap marks indicated by orange triangles imprinted on the exterior vessel to mark lifting locations. See NOAA Research Vessel shearwater R-6201 Drawing 800-001 "Docking Plan" to plan for lifting requirements. 1.1 Submittals A] Signed by a qualified independent firm attesting that the drydock; travel-lift; or railway, and associated controls and machinery, are in good sound condition and have adequate capacity to safely drydock the vessel. The certification shall be based on a visual inspection of the facility within the 12-month period immediately preceding the scheduled drydocking, operating and maintenance records of the facility, and recent demonstration of the facility's capacity (e.g., record of the largest vessel drydocked during the preceding 6 months). B] Provide a letter certifying that the Dock Master in charge of the docking and undocking evolutions is professionally qualified, through training and experience, to conduct the evolutions in a safe and reliable manner. C] Prepare and submit a drydocking and undocking procedure which includes operating practices, special precautions that are required by the characteristics of the dock or vessel, depth of water, and tide and current conditions which will exist. D] Provide a fire control plan that outlines the Contractor's ability to handle any fire or emergency without the use of any NOAA vessel systems. This shall include fire watch procedures. All hot work shall be approved 24 hours in advance by the COTR or his designated representative. All spaced designated for hot work shall be certified to be safe for hot work by an independent marine chemist. 1.2 Preparations for Drydocking A] Arrange the blocks in the Contractor's Facility; drydock; or railway in accordance with the ship's docking plan. Blocks shall be positioned to haul the vessel in the position specified in the detail specification item. In the event the detail specification item does not specify a docking position, the COTR or his/her designated Representative shall specify the docking position. B] The minimum height of keel blocks shall be as specified on the ship's docking plan or the detail specifications. In event a conflict exists between the docking plan and the detail specifications, the detail specifications take precedence. If not specified on docking plan or in the detail specifications, the minimum height shall be 36 inches. All keel blocks shall have 2 inches minimum soft wood caps. C] Insure that all sea chests, discharges, transducers, domes, and other appurtenances are clear of all blocks. There shall be no obstructions between the floor surface of the drydocked location and the hull, hull openings, appendages, and fittings. Ample horizontal and vertical clearance shall be provided for removal and replacement of rudders, bow thrusters, fathometers, sea scanners, and sonar gear on the ship, whether or not such removals or replacement are known to be required. D] Docking arrangements will be agreed upon during a pre-docking conference. This conference shall be attended by, as a minimum, the COTR or his/her Designated Representative; the Contractor or his/her Designated Representative; the Dock Master; and a NOAA Marine Engineer. This conference shall be arranged sufficiently prior to the docking date to permit the incorporation of all details required in the docking. Docking arrangements will be agreed upon during a pre-docking conference. 1.3 Docking Information If requested, The COTR or his/her designated representative will provide the Contractor with the following information gathered from the Vessel Operations Coordinator: A] Place and date of last docking. B] Last docking position. C] Dates and file numbers of last two docking reports and interim docking reports (if any). D] Number of days underway since last docking.

If any tendency to strain or injure the ship is observed, immediately re-float the vessel and rearrange the blocks/slings or make other corrections required to relieve the condition. B] As the extremity of the vessel first to enter the dock reaches the dock sill, and the vessel is pointed fair for entering the drydock; marine rail; or vertical lift platform, the Contractor's Dock Master relieves the vessel's Operator in Charge of responsibility for the safety of the vessel. At this point, the Contractor's Dock Master also relieves NOAA of the operational control of the vessel. C] Contractor's Dock Master shall center the vessel on the keel blocks, using centering bobs, sighting battens and other appropriate equipment. The vessel shall be kept centered over the keel blocks during the pumping down or raising operations. D] Contractor's Dock Master shall direct the pumping out or lifting operations. It is mandatory to use divers during certain circumstances, such as when: - Docking drawing is in question; - Vessel is damaged; - Blocks are suspected of being damaged or moved during docking; - Contractor's adherence to the docking drawing is in question. E] Shores, when used, shall be placed in position only after the vessel has landed fore and aft, but prior to the vessel reaching its draft at instability. Should a shore buckle, the Contractor's Dock Master shall stop pumping or raising operations, set up the next shore, and replace the buckled shore. F] Contractor's Dock Master shall note the drafts on the vessel and observe that the vessel lands at the proper points with respect to the draft. Record the fore and aft draft mark readings of the vessel prior to drydocking and after undocking. G] The Contractor's Dock Master shall stop the drydock pumps or raising of the vertical lift platform, and, if necessary, re-flood the dock or lower the platform in case: - The ship takes an undue list when landing; - The ship lands before the water has dropped to the proper depth; - A shore buckles (buckled shores shall be replaced); - COTR or designated representative observes any unsafe operations or operations that may endanger the vessel. H] Installation of gangways and service lines shall be deferred until after the vessel has landed and side blocks are in position. If a gangway is needed promptly, it may be suspended by a crane during the pumping down or raising operations. Service lines shall be promptly installed after the vessel has landed and side blocks are in position. The Contractor shall provide the mooring lines, government owned mooring lines are not to be used. I] As soon as possible, after the vessel has landed and side blocks are in position, a grounding cable or grounding strap shall be attached between the vessel and dock to protect the ship from the effects of electric storms and welding. J] The COTR or his/her Representative and the Contractor's Dock Master shall remain on site until the dock is pumped out sufficiently to permit personal examination of all blocks. Any irregularities found shall be corrected and any necessary shoring shall be placed before the COTR or his/her Representative and the Contractor's Dock Master leave the dock or the vertical lift facility until the facility is raised sufficiently to permit personal examination of all blocks and correction of any irregularities found. In all such cases, the docking crew shall likewise remain at the facility to assist as needed. The dock basin shall be washed down to remove silt, mud, and debris immediately after the vessel is drydocked. 1.5 Action After Docking A] As soon as practical, but in all cases within 2 hours after drydocking the vessel, clean the entire underwater hull and boot-topping shall be cleaned of marine growth, dirt, and loose paint using stiff brushes, scrapers, and high pressure (minimum of 3000psi) fresh water.
