Object of These Specifications. It is the object of these specifications to secure for the Government by leasing one tender boat with operating personnel. The boat will be used on the Mississippi River from Cairo, Illinois,(Mile 953.8 AHP) to the Head of Passes (Mile 0.0), the Old River, the Atchafalaya River, the Red River (Louisiana), the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) as far west as the Calcasieu River and the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet (MRGO). The tender will transport Government barges at job sites as may be directed by the Contracting Officer or his representative. All mileage will be the mileage shown in the latest editions of the Flood Control and Navigation Maps of the above mentioned waterways. These are prepared under the direction of the President, Mississippi River Commission, U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, P.O. Box 80, Vicksburg, MS 39181 0080. 2. Inspection of Equipment. Prior to award, the Contracting Officer or his duly authorized representative will make an inspection of the equipment offered to determine the condition and suitability for the service for which it will be used. If found that the equipment offered is not suitable for the purpose intended, or that it is not in good mechanical condition, it will not be accepted and the bidder on that equipment may be rejected as non-responsive. If deficiencies are of a minor nature and may be easily repaired, the bidder will be given seven days to correct all deficiencies found. Examples of minor deficiencies are found on the MVK Form 385-18-R, Safety Inspection Checklist for Towboats and Tenders. If the deficiencies are not corrected within the seven day period, the bidder will be rejected as non-responsive. However, in case of award, this inspection will not relieve the Contractor from the satisfactory operation of the equipment during the period of the contract or any extension thereof. Additionally, the contractor shall submit the completed Data Sheet (attachment A) with bid. 3. Delivery and Release. Delivery of this boat shall be made afloat to the Engineer in Charge, Mat Sinking Unit, Vicksburg Harbor, Vicksburg, MS, or as directed by the Engineer in Charge, within five (5) calendar days after receipt of notice to report to work. It is expected, but not guaranteed, that delivery of the boat will be required on or about 27 July 2009. When delivered, the boat shall be ready for operation and in good operating condition. The boat will be released to the Contractor at the location of the job on which it is last used. 4. Payments. a. Payments will be made semi monthly after receipt of a proper invoice. Invoices shall be submitted in triplicate, prepared on typewriter or with pen and ink. Terms of payment must be stated, including cash discount, if any. Invoices shall be sent to Mat Sinking Unit, P.O. Box 7, Delta, LA, 71233-0007, ATTN: Joel Brown. Payment will be made by the Disbursing Officer, U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Finance Center, 7800 3rd Avenue, Millington, TN 38054-5005. b. Except as provided in subparagraph d. below, payment will be made for the number of hours of actual use during the time that the boat is retained in the custody of a representative of the Contracting Officer. Time will begin on the day that the boat is delivered to the Government Representative as stated in paragraph 3 above, and end on the day that the boat is finally released to the Contractor. Actual use does not include non-work c. Payment will be made at the applicable hourly rate stipulated in the contract, calculated to the nearest hour. d. No payment will be made for lost time due to breakdowns, or for any causes due to the fault or negligence of the Contractor or his employees. e. Lost Time. Lost time will be considered as the time when the boat is inoperative because of breakdowns and/or other causes due to the fault or negligence of the Contractor or his employees. If due to job requirements, the boat is allowed to work with one engine inoperative, the unit price will be reduced to seventy percent (70%) of the applicable contract amount. Time lost for minor repairs and/or adjustments to the boat which, in the opinion of the contracting officer, does not interfere with or result in loss of operating time, will not be charged as lost time to the Contractor. 5. Contract Period. a. It is estimated that the tender will be used approximately 100 days per year. The contract may be extended up to an additional 30 calendar days at the option of the Government. It is expected that the tender will generally be used 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. However, these days are not guaranteed and the Government reserves the right to use the tender for more or less days as needed. The right is also reserved by the Government to suspend use of the tender for any period when the Government revetment operations are suspended. 6. Performance of Plant. a. Award of the Contract and acceptance of the boat shall not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for the satisfactory performance of the boat. Notwithstanding the estimated days and hours of operation contained in Paragraph 5 above, time is of the essence in the delivery of services under the Contract. Strict compliance with the delivery schedule is essential and untimely delivery of the services required under the Contract, or other unsatisfactory performance, will jeopardize the interests of the Government. The delivery schedule and the services performed by the boat are crucial to the Government operations, which it will be assisting. Failure to meet the delivery schedule for this Item will be cause for immediate termination of the Contract as described in paragraph (a) (1) of the DEFAULT clause of the Contract. In addition, if at any time during the contract period it is determined by the Contracting Officer that the boat is not capable of doing satisfactory work and/or meeting the delivery schedule, the contract may be terminated. The Contracting Officer will exercise his discretion as to the best interest of the Government. However, the Contractor is put on notice that the contract for the boat may be terminated if the boat is inoperable or not capable of safely operating for a total of 24 hours in any seven-day period, or if the tender is inoperable on one engine for a total of 48 hours in any seven day period. Payment will be made as provided in paragraph 4 above only for the time accrued prior to the date of termination. c. If the Contracting Officer allows the tender to work with only one engine, as described in paragraph 4.e. above, this in no way relieves the Contractor from the time constraints described above. All time allowed to work on one engine will be considered in computing the time periods described above as conditions for termination. d. The conditions listed above are not a complete listing of causes for termination and the Government reserves the right to terminate the Contract for any other conditions of default as determined by the Contracting Officer and in accordance with the termination clauses of the Contract. 7. Control and Responsibility. a. The Contracting Officer or his representative shall direct the location or site of work and the hours of work. However, the rental is to be considered as a time charter, as distinguished from a demise or a bare boat charter, and the operation of the vessel shall at all times be under the direction of the Contractor or his employees. b. Except to respond to an immediate emergency, the Contractor shall not cease to perform an assigned mission or cease to comply with his operating orders that are in effect. Neither shall the boat leave the immediate area of assigned responsibility without obtaining permission from the Contracting Officer's Representative in charge of the operations being performed. 8. Supervision. Proper supervision will be maintained on the boat by the Contractor to insure compliance with the terms of the contract and the orders of the Contracting Officer. The Contractor's authorized representatives will be designated in writing at the time of delivery of the boat and at any time thereafter when such authorized representatives may be changed. No instructions of the Contracting Officer's Representative or lack thereof will at any time relieve the Contractor from the responsibility of complying fully with all requirements of the contract. In case of differences arising between the Contracting Officer's Representative and the Contractor or his agent, appeal may be made to the Contracting Officer, whose decision shall be final. The Contracting Officer's Representative is not authorized to waive nor alter in any respect any of the terms or requirements of the contract, or to make additional requirements. 9.
