SAFE Boat Refurbishment

The Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines a project to refurbish two 38’ SAFE Boat Full Cabin vessels acquired by the 1 SOSS/OSRM. These vessels, inactive for six years, require comprehensive restoration to become mission-capable. The refurbishment, conducted by a qualified boat manufacturer, is more cost-effective than purchasing new vessels. Key tasks include replacing propulsion systems with Mercury Verado 400 HP engines, upgrading power generation and environmental systems, and enhancing navigation and communication capabilities with Garmin technology. Lighting systems will be upgraded to marine-grade LED, non-skid surfaces will be replaced, and trim tabs tested or replaced if necessary. The contract emphasizes compliance with USCG and ABYC safety standards, with a performance deadline of 180 days for most tasks, followed by a sea trial. The statement outlines deliverables, required contractor expertise in marine refurbishment, and specifies that all work will take place at the contractor’s facility without government-provided materials or equipment. The document stresses the importance of quality control and mandates regular updates on project progress, reflecting a structured approach typical of government RFPs aimed at ensuring accountability and operational readiness within budgetary constraints.

The government reserves the right to cancel the solicitation or award all, none, or any quantity of the requested CLINs.

This government Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the urgent refurbishment of two 38-foot SAFE Boat Full Cabin vessels for the 1 SOSS/OSRM. Acquired from the Navy and inactive for six years, these 2012 models require comprehensive restoration to achieve full operational status as a cost-effective replacement for the aging coastal fleet. The scope includes replacing propulsion systems with Mercury Verado 400 HP engines, installing new gasoline generators, upgrading environmental controls (AC and heaters), replacing sponsons, and overhauling navigation and communication systems with Garmin components. Additionally, the project involves updating lighting to LED, replacing non-skid surfaces, and testing/replacing trim tabs. All work must comply with USCG and ABYC marine safety standards and will be performed at the contractor's facility. Deliverables, including the sea trial and final acceptance, are due within 180 days of vessel delivery, with specific performance thresholds for each task. The contractor must possess expertise in marine-grade materials, design software, and secure data handling, providing key personnel such as a Contract Manager, Marine Systems Engineer, Hull and Structural Technician, and Electrical Systems Specialist. The government will provide only the vessels; the contractor is responsible for all other materials, equipment, and facilities, along with implementing a comprehensive Quality Control Plan to ensure adherence to industry and government standards.
