STATEMENT OF WORK Statement of Work NOAA Research Vessel FULMAR Shipyard Package NCND6000-11-02931 A. GENERAL INFORMATION This Statement of Work contains the requirements for shipyard repairs to the NOAA Research Vessel FULMAR R-6701. The contractor must be located within a reasonable transit distance from the vessel's home port in Monterey, CA, generally within 12-14hrs. All work is to be accomplished at the contractor's facility. NOAA will deliver the NOAA Research Vessel FULMAR R-6701 to the contractor's facility. Delivery of the vessel back to the Government shall be at the contractor's facility. Because the vessel is in high demand, scheduled far in advance, and must also be available for emergency response activities with minimal downtime, the repair work must be conducted in the following time periods: June 13 - July 9, 2011: All Phase One Tasks - Vessel Alongside November 5-30, 2011: All Phase Two Tasks - Vessel Hauled The government at its discretion may allow Phase Two Tasks to be conducted during the June 13 - July 9, 2011 time frame after the contractor has certified they can complete ALL work during that time window. The vessel must be ready for service no later than July 9, 2011 NOAA employees may be working on board NOAA Research Vessel FULMAR R-6701 during the contract performance period on a not to interfere basis. During this period it will be required that NOAA Employees and NOAA contractors have full access to the NOAA Research Vessel FULMAR R-6701 during normal working hours. Coordination of the work schedules will be the responsibility of the Contractor to avoid any delays or disruptions in order to meet the aforementioned performance period. The following is general information: Length overall: 67 feet Beam: 24.5 feet Draft: 6.1 feet Displacement: 49 long tons Construction: Aluminum Upon arrival and the initial securing of mooring lines to the Contractor's dock, the contractor will accept full responsibility for the safety of the vessel (including but not limited to fire protection, watch-standing, security patrols, water-tight integrity, protection from the environment, etc.). This responsibility will terminate only after all work defined herein (or added during the work period) is complete, accepted by NOAA, and NOAA personnel remove the mooring lines from the Contractor's dock. All work performed under this SOW will meet or exceed all current requirements of ABYC and USCG (Subchapter T) as applicable to this size and type of vessel, in addition to any specific requirements stated below. B. PHASE ONE VESSEL ALONGSIDE WORK - SPECIFICATIONS/TASKS 1. Revise the head sole covering: The head sole covering (Londeck #776) is lifting in places. Remove the existing covering material and adhesives completely (Lonseal #300 Epoxy Adhesive). Abrade the aluminum deck (head area only) surface to clean, bare metal. Install a ~½" high rounded lip under the head door to prevent water from leaving the space. Apply a coating of epoxy sealer to the entire deck surface, and over-coat this with nonskid paint equal to that on the exterior decks. 2. Revise the anchor rode: With vessel captain or crew in attendance, inspect the anchor rode for a fair lay on the drum when stowed. Unspool the rode and reposition the connection between the ½"wire rope and thimble to the 3/8"chain to alleviate any unfair lay on the drum. Rewind the rode completely and inspect to ensure proper placement of the connection. Repeat the steps above if required. (Images to be provided upon request). 3. Generator softpatch hatch revisions: Remove the two hatches located over the generators, and clean all old sealant away. Remove deck paint from with 3" of each hatch opening on both the deck and the hatches. Weld a 3/16" x 2" aluminum flat bar flange around the perimeter of each hatch, using a continuous, non-oscillated watertight weld bead of ~1/8" throat thickness on upper and lower sides. Carry welds across miter-joints in the corners so the flanges are completely sealed to the hatches. Reinstall the hatches and weld the outer edge of the new flanges to the deck surface using the same weld criteria as above. NOTE: It is the intent that if these hatches have to be removed in the future, the weld bead on the deck will be cut with a saw. Therefore, the straightness and uniformity of the weld bead on the deck surface is important. Test all welds after completion to prove watertight integrity by inspection from below. 4. Install GFM galvanic isolator: Install a GFM recessed galvanic isolator (Guest Amp) in the main cabin aft bulkhead as directed by the government's representative. Provide and install a shore power circuit breaker next to the galvanic isolator. Install the indicator panel for the galvanic isolator. Position the shore power circuit breaker and isolator panel on the forward side of the main cabin aft bulkhead so they are visible from the labs space. Test the galvanic isolator and breaker after installation to prove proper functioning. Clearly label the function of the breaker and indictor light. ABYC Galvanic Isolator Installation Requirements: • 28.7.1 The galvanic isolator shall be connected in series with the shore power cable AC grounding conductor (green or green with yellow stripe) in a manner that no other ground conductor will bypass the isolator back to the shore power ground (see A-28 Figure 1). • NOTE: In some Community Antenna TV (CATV) systems, there is a possibility of bypassing the galvanic isolator through connection of additional CATV equipment (e.g., amplifier splitters, computer equipment, etc.). Additional isolation may be required on shielded connections. • 28.7.2 All AC power inlets and all telecommunication inlets (e.g., cable, phone, etc.) shall be electrically isolated from hull and deck, if conductive, and wired so that no part of the grounding system bypasses the isolator. • 28.7.3 The current rating of the galvanic isolator shall not be less than the rating of the main shore power disconnect circuit breaker as installed per ABYC E-11, AC & DC Electrical Systems on Boats. • 28.7.4 The galvanic isolator shall be installed in a ventilated, dry and accessible location not to exceed the temperature rating of the unit. • 28.7.5 The status monitor shall be installed in an accessible location. • 28.7.6 Status monitor indicator(s) for the galvanic isolator shall be visible when operating the AC system. • 28.7.7 If the status monitor is installed in a location where it will be subjected to rain or spray the enclosure shall have a rating of IP64 or NEMA 4X. • 28.7.8 Conductor(s) shall be supported and/or clamped to relieve strain within six inches of the isolator ABYC Shore Power Circuit Breaker Requirements: • 11.10.2.8.3 Additional Overcurrent Protection - If the location of the main shore power disconnect circuit breaker is in excess of 10 feet (three meters) from the shore power inlet or the electrical attachment point of a permanently installed shore power cord, additional fuses or circuit breakers shall be provided within 10 feet (three meters) of the inlet or attachment point to the electrical system of the boat. Measurement is made along the conductors. • 11.10.2.8.3.1 If fuses are used in addition to the main shore power disconnect circuit breaker, their rating shall be such that the circuit breakers trip before the fuses open the circuit, in the event of overload. The ampere rating of the additional fuses or circuit breaker shall not be greater than 125% of the rating of the main shore power disconnect circuit breaker. For 120-volt service, both the grounded and ungrounded current carrying conductors shall be provided with this additional over-current protection. 5. Revise RAM lights on mast: The existing RAM lights (red, white, red) on the mast are blocked from view in certain quadrants. Install a second set of lights, identical to those existing, approximately 12" to 18" directly forward of the current set. Fabricate all brackets required to adequately support the new lights, and secure these brackets with mechanical fasteners or welds. Wire the new lights so they operate simultaneous with the existing set. Note that some of the existing RAM lights are on separate circuits, and the new lights must be wired the same. If required, upgrade the circuit breakers to handle the higher electrical load. Upon completion, test all lights to ensure proper visibility and function. (Images provided upon request). 6. Repair hydraulic leaks at reservoirs: Drain tank, completely disassemble suction piping, replace MPT adapters installed in suction strainer and at pump end of line with JIC fittings of same internal diameter. Replace existing hose with similar hose with JIC swivel fittings on each end (one straight, one 90 degree). This will be a custom hose. Reassemble, use Loctite 545 at pipe threads. Assemble JIC threads dry or with copper flare inserts if fitting manufacturer recommends. C. PHASE TWO VESSEL HAULED WORK - SPECIFICATIONS/TASKS 1. Drydock, cleaning, inspection, undock: The vessel shall be lifted in a drydock; marine railway; or by travel lift rated for 60 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 FULMAR R-6701 Drawing 800-001B "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 government's 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 government's representative will 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, government's 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 government's 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. E. Paint history for last complete painting. F. History of touch-up painting. G. Tank sounding report. H. List of any relevant data for any alterations accomplished on the vessel which may affect the docking operations but are not shown on the docking drawing. I. Data for use in carrying out stability calculations from Ship's Damage Control Book and Booklet of General Plans. 1.4 Drydocking A. After obtaining the consent of government's representatives, carefully haul-out the vessel without strain or injury, in a drydock; a travel lift; or marine railway. 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); • government's 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 government's representative 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 government's 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. Included shall be sea strainer plates, sea chests, bow thrusters, rudders, propellers, shafts, struts, and other underwater hull appendages. B. Exercise extreme care to avoid scratching, gouging or otherwise damaging any transducers, dome windows, shaft coverings or other appendages. C. Clean transducers using non-metallic, non-abrasive brushes. Do not use scrapers on transducers. D. Within 24 hours after drydocking, remove all sea chest covers, strainer plates, rope guards, and fairwaters. After completion of all inspections and acceptance of inspection condition reports by the government's representative, reinstall the items removed. E. Provide adequate staging, or other safe means acceptable to the government's representative to accomplish all contract work and to permit a thorough inspection (see below) of the underwater body. F. Clean all anodes with a non-ferrous wire brush to remove all corrosion products. 1.6 Drydocking Inspection A. Within 24 hours after drydocking, a joint inspection of the vessel's underwater hull shall be conducted by the Contractor, the government's representative. Submit a Condition Report of the inspection's findings within 48 hours of inspection. The inspection shall include the following: B. Condition of the hull, particularly inspecting for evidence of structural damage and deterioration of plating, welds, and fasteners. C. Condition of anodes and paint system. D. The condition of propulsion shafts, propellers; sea chests; overboard discharge piping; foil; fins; transducers; and all other underwater hull appendages. Inspect for evidence of leaks, damage, and deterioration. E. Remove the void plugs in underwater hull rub rails, rudders, struts, fairing plates, bilge keels, and other inaccessible underwater voids. As the plugs are removed, inspect for drainage of water from the voids. If water is present, advise the government's representative prior to proceeding. 1.7 Underbody Propulsion & Rudder Inspection A. Conduct a drydocking inspection of the propulsion shafts that includes the following: • Both propulsion shafts run-out using a calibrated dial indicator; • Both Propulsion shaft clearance measurements in the cutlass bearings in the strut and intermediate/hull bearings. These measurements are to be taken at the 90, 180, 270, and 360 degree positions using extended length feeler-gauges; • Rudders are to be inspected for excessive bearing wear and alignment. Bearing wear can be determined either by pull test measurements or by extended feeler-gauges. Rudder alignment is measured from port to starboard rudder leading edges and port and starboard trailing edges. B. All these measurements are to be presented in writing to the government's representative by the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) Marine Engineer. 1.8 Transducers Clean, protect, and paint all transducers as follows: A. Clean the exposed surfaces of each transducer while the surfaces are still damp. Clean transducers with non-metallic brushes. Do not use scrapers. B. Degrease the faces of rubber-faced transducers with mineral spirits and rinse with fresh water. Do not use detergents on the rubber faces. Swab metallic-faced transducers with a solution of one part nitric acid to five parts fresh water, and follow with rich soapy water wash and fresh water rinse. Polish metallic-faced transducers with crocus cloth. C. Coat all metallic-faced transducers with one coat of anti-fouling same as prescribed for the remainder of the underwater hull. This is to be accomplished by removing the plywood protective covers immediately prior to applying the last coat of paint to the underwater hull. All painting shall be in accordance with the paint manufacturer's printed recommendations and instructions. D. NOAA reserves the right to inspect and adjust transducers. E. Except when work is being performed on the transducer, cover the transducer faces with a plywood protective cover. Do not apply props or forced pressure on the face of the transducers. 1.9 Temporary Services Contractor is to provide all labor, tools, and materials to provide electrical power and to ensure the overall security of the NOAA Research Vessel FULMAR R-6701.

The contractor is to ensure that all welding leads, air hoses, debris/trash is removed from the vessel at the end of the work day. 1.10 Undocking A. Prior to the commencement of undocking all debris, trash, and loose material shall be removed from the vessel. B. After all work requiring drydocking has been completed, carefully undock the vessel. Flood the drydock or lower the railway or travel lift until all the underwater openings are covered with water, but without lifting the vessel off the blocks or lifting straps. Provide adequate personnel and check for leaks. If leaks are found, re-dock the vessel and repair the leaks. If no leaks are found or after repair of all leaks, continue with undocking the vessel after the government's representative has given authorization to proceed. C. Unless authorized by the government's representative, the vessel shall not be undocked until all work which requires drydocking has been completed. This includes all work incorporated into the initial contract award and any options or modifications activated throughout the performance period. D. This also includes all additional work authorized or being negotiated. In the event the Contractor desires to undock the vessel and subsequently re-dock the vessel for completion of work; the contractor shall submit to the Contracting Officer a letter which clearly outlines the reasons for such a request. E. If the Contracting Officer decides to grant the request, the extent of Government's liability for costs related to the undocking and re-docking shall be limited to the additional lay-day costs for which the Government would be liable if the vessel were not undocked and re-drydocked. 1.11 Tests/Inspections/Reports Inspections and condition reports shall be submitted to government's representative. 2.

Contractor to coordinate the logistics of transport with approved third party inspection service. Provide inspection and service report to government's representative upon completion. 5. 01 Deck softpatch hatch revisions: Remove the two hatches located in the 01 deck over the main engines, and clean all old sealant away. Remove deck paint from with 3" of each hatch opening on both the deck and the hatches. Weld a 3/16" x 2" aluminum flat bar flange around the perimeter of each hatch, using a continuous, non-oscillated watertight weld bead of ~1/8" throat thickness on upper and lower sides. Carry welds across miter-joints in the corners so the flanges are completely sealed to the hatches. Reinstall the hatches and weld the outer edge of the new flanges to the deck surface using the same weld criteria as above. NOTE: It is the intent that if these hatches have to be removed in the future, the weld bead on the deck will be cut with a saw. Therefore, the straightness and uniformity of the weld bead on the deck surface is important. Test all welds after completion to prove watertight integrity by inspection from below. 6. Troubleshoot and repair bridge fathometer: The existing Furuno BBFF1 ‘black box'sounder for NavNet 1, does not consistently work in water deeper than 140m. The system may not be autoswitching from 200hz to 50hz in deep water due to a software setup issue or an electrical issue in the BFF1 and/or the transducer. If it determined that there is a software setup or minor electrical wiring issue, troubleshoot, repair and field test. For reference the installed Furuno hull mounted transducer is the higher powered 1KW model #SS560. Provide a condition found report and repair recommendation to the government's representative if a replacement black box sounder and/or transducer is required. 7. Replace crane wire and hook on Morgan 300.3 deck crane: The contractor will replace the wire rope and end hook on the Morgan hydraulic crane in kind. Termination of both ends of the wire rope will be made in accordance with the crane manufacturer's instructions. This task will be completed prior to Task 8 (Weight Test) below. Crane was supplied with cable by the OEM as Dyform 18, cable assembly, 3/8" x 90' w/5 ton alloy safety swivel hook. 8. Weight test A-frame and crane: The contractor shall have an inspection and load test of the vessel's hydraulic crane and A-frame performed in accordance with 29 CFR 1919 Subparts D and E. The contractor shall submit report a detailing the results of the inspections and tests to the government's representative. A new weight test label shall be installed in a clearly visible location noting the date of test. 9. Correct science winch hydraulics/controls: The Markey COM-7 science winch aboard exhibits a jerky drum movement when handling some loads at some speeds. This problem may be indicative of a fault wither with the winch drum drive, the vessels hydraulic system, or with the winch controls. In either case, the contractor will determine the cause of this problem, and resolve it using the following process: A] The contractor will assemble a temporary hydraulic control valve (rotary or linear handle) and jumper hoses to allow testing of the science winch underway while bypassing the existing control valve. The temporary valve will allow the same pressure and flow at the winch as the existing valve. B] Prior to docking the vessel, the contractor will test the winch underway with the existing control valve under different loads and at different line speeds. The test will be repeated with the temporary valve, and any differences in performance (specifically the smoothness of operation when the automatic brake in applied) will be noted. NOAA personnel will operate the vessel and control the winch when underway. The contractor will provide, load aboard, and unload a selection of weights from 50# to the maximum rated capacity of the winch for test purposes. C] The contractor will discuss the winches performance observed during step B above with the manufacturer, and attain their agreement on 1] additional trouble-shooting procedures, and/or 2] resolution of the problem. D] After determining the proper resolution, he contractor will revise, tune, or replace winch, control, or hydraulic system components to allow smooth winch drum operation at all rated loads at all rated speeds. E] The contractor will test the winch after the vessel undocks and demonstrate correct operation of the winch. NOAA personnel will operate the vessel and control the winch when underway. D. IT SECURITY REQUIREMENT The Certification and Accreditation (C&A) requirements of Clause 1352.239-72 do not apply, and a Security Accreditation Package is not required. E. AWARD BASIS Performance factors are equal to price. Contractor must demonstrate past performance in working with aluminum vessels including aluminum welding. For excessively long transits from the vessels home port (greater than 14hrs one way), the government at its discretion may consider the cost for transit including crew, fuel, & consumables in its basis for award.
