The Beluga Barge Statement of Work (SOW) outlines requirements for the docking and maintenance work on the Beluga RCD Barge, focusing on high-quality workmanship compliant with commercial marine standards. Key obligations include transporting the vessel to the contractor's facility, conducting thorough inspections, performing necessary steel and structural repairs, and ensuring environmental safety and waste management. The SOW specifies the barge's characteristics (length, draft, age, and materials) and emphasizes the contractor's responsibilities, which cover both the care of the vessel and the documentation of progress through required reports. Safety protocols, including compliance with OSHA and other federal regulations, are mandatory during all operations. Additionally, the document details expectations for meetings, material management, weight control, and various technical processes related to welding, preservation, and environmental compliance. A heavy weather plan must be developed to safeguard the vessel during adverse conditions. This SOW serves as a vital framework guiding contractors in fulfilling their contractual obligations while ensuring safety and quality throughout the maintenance process.
