- Description
- The contractor shall provide vessel services to provide towing vessel, crew, fuel, consumables, additional hawser, additional tag lines, and all materials required to disconnect two (2) buoys from their moorings at sea, tow them into port and secure them to a dock in accordance with the attached Statement of Work (SOW), dated February 13, 2014. Background Information: NOAA buoys 12D12 and 12D13 were deployed at stations 42055 and 42056, respectively, in May 2005. They have both been decommissioned as weather stations and now contain only obstruction lights and position transmitters. Upon being decommissioned, they were designated as 42A55 and 42A56, though their towers are still marked with their original station numbers. 42A55 is at 22° 1'2"N, 94° 2'45"W, and 200 nautical miles Northeast of Heroica Veracruz, Mexico. 42A56 is at 19°52'27"N, 85° 3'33"W, 120 nautical miles Southeast of Cancun, QROO, Mexico. On April 19, 2012, NOAA removed all equipment and batteries from 42A55 and installed and GPS tracker and solar powered flashing light (Carmanah 702). On March 28, 2013, NOAA removed all equipment from 42A56 and installed a GPS tracker and solar powered flashing light (Carmanah 702). The buoy still contains 420 air-alkaline batteries (Cegasa AS10-2, approximately 20 pounds each). The tracker normally reports position every 12 hours. NOAA no longer uses this type of buoy and no longer needs these hulls, so their ownership can be transferred to the vendor, and they can be salvaged for scrap metal. Within 5 calendar days of the buoys' arrival at the dock, NOAA will send two technicians to the docking location to check all buoy compartments for hazardous atmosphere (oxygen and explosive gases) and make the compartments safe to open and enter. NOAA personnel will also remove the obstruction lights and position trackers. See attached Statement of Work (SOW), dated February 13, 2014, for additional information.
