The Maritime Administration (Marad) is considering alternatives for the repair, retrofit, or replacement of the Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet (SBRF) Facility Barge, formerly an ex-U.S. Navy Auxiliary Personnel Lighter (APL). SBRF is part of Marad's National Defense Reserve Fleet located in Benicia, CA, and maintains a group of laid up ex-commercial, U. S. Navy and U. S. Coast Guard ships moored in Suisun Bay for potential re-use or ultimate disposal. The APL provides for a base of operations, including: Office space, Office support and storage areas, Meeting rooms, Restroom facilities, Employee break and change rooms, Maintenance shops, Industrial equipment store room, Spare parts storage, Hazardous material storage, Document archive, Mooring for fleet service craft The APL is in need of drydocking and repair, some extensive steel work at the waterline, and complete exterior recoating. In addition, the electrical distribution system is antiquated and is a potential fire hazard. It is also desirable to make the facility more energy efficient, and employ means of renewable energy for electrical power, heating and cooling. In discussions amongst Marad personnel regarding these requirements, alternatives have been suggested to replace the vessel with another floating facility or a building constructed atop or adjacent to the access pier. Site Conditions The facility is located in Suisun Bay and is subject to the effects of tide and weather. The following conditions may serve as guidelines for these effects as observed locally, however, the contractor must consult with the appropriate agencies to determine actual historic conditions and plan for a 50-year worst-case scenario: Winds, up to 70 mph, Tidal range, from -1 foot to +7 feet MLLW, Swell, up to 5 feet Water depth at the end of the pier, 17 feet MLLW, Ambient temperature of up to 102 degrees F Site Visits and Consultations The contractor shall visit the site and consult with Marad representatives to discuss mission requirements, needs, desires and ideas. Inspecting the site, including vessels suggested as being available for replacing the APL, will greatly assist the contractor in understanding the area, the facility and Marad's mission. An initial meeting will be conducted at the start of the study project, and as many follow-up visits to SBRF may be made as deemed necessary by the contractor and Marad. General Requirements This Performance Work Statement requires that the contractor perform research and study alternatives to repair, retrofit or replace the APL, designed to meet the facility requirements below. It is desired that the following alternatives be addressed: (1) For the existing APL, drydocking and repair of hull, grit blasting and coating of the exterior, significant interior rip out and replacement of the current configuration of offices, workshops, storage, employee break and change rooms, etc., and replacement of the electrical distribution system.; (2) For the existing APL, removal of all structure above the main deck and replacement with a modular type building.; (3) Replacement of the vessel with a similar vessel that is currently available (ex-YFNB-5) and installation of a modular type building.; (4) Replacement of the vessel with a dissimilar, but similarly-sized vessel currently available (ex-TRIUMPH, T-AGOS-4).; (5) Extending/enlarging the footprint of the pier and constructing a permanent building on the pier.; (6) Constructing an elevated building over a portion of the pier head.; (7) Constructing an elevated building over a portion of the parking lot.
