- Description
- The purpose of this Modification is to change the response date for the United States Naval Academy's Sail Training Craft announcement that was originally posted on 13 DEC 2001. The new response date is 11 JAN 2002. The following is the originally posted information, incorporating the response date change: The Naval Sea Systems Command seeks interest from manufacturers of sailing craft and sailboats for a scheduled procurement in FY02. Companies capable of building sailboats of rugged and proven construction meeting the characteristics and capabilities described below and at the following web site are encouraged to respond. The web site is planned to be available 12 December 2001. The address is http://www.boats.dt.navy.mil. Click on the "USNA 44' STC" button that will appear on the home page for the information. The existing United States Naval Academy (USNA) Sail Train ing Craft (STC) is 44 ft in length, 12 ft. -5 in. in beam, draws 7 ft.- 3 in. and displaces about 28,000 lbs (the canoe body is 7 ft.- 6 in. deep). The rig measures as follows: P=50.75 ft., E=16 ft., I=58.5 ft., J=18.58ft. Please refer to the web site stated above to view a draft specification and preliminary drawings, and other details. Be advised that this design may not be used, modified, reproduced, released, displayed or disclosed, for any purpose other than production of boats under U.S. Government contract without the prior written permission of the Naval Sea Systems Command. The USNA STC is not a commercial sailboat, but will be used for professional development and training for USNA midshipmen. As such, the USNA STC will have capacity for a crew of ten and will be capable of ocean transit and extended motoring with diesel auxiliary. The craft will be raced under O RC/IMS rating rules. The craft will be provided with a head, galley, dining area, berthing for five crew, and ample stowage both below and above decks. The expected service life of the hull, rig, and major components and fittings will be twenty years, based on a yearly usage rate of 1000 hours. Normal preventative maintenance, repair and replacement procedures will be employed to ensure the craft are available for their entire service life. All elements of construction, joiner work, systems, equipment, and fittings will be rugged, reliable, and capable of withstanding the effects of daily, heavy use. All systems, including propulsion, auxiliary, and electrical, will be designed, selected and installed to meet commercial standards that reflect the highest quality for the intended use and service life, and as required by the specification. An extensive list of Government Fu rnished Equipment (GFE) (including navigation and communication electronics, sails, and anchoring, docking and safety gear), will be installed and must be provided for in terms of weight, space, stowage, electrical needs, etc. GFE will be provided for contractor installation for first craft, and the GFE for the following craft will be installed by the Government after delivery. The schedule for craft construction, assuming contract award in 2Q FY02 (March 2002), will require launch of the first article before the end of FY02 (Sep 2002). The contract will be signed for 7 craft, and two options to be exercised in FY03 and FY04 for 9 boats and 8 boats, respectively.
