- Description
- The Maritime Administration (MARAD) has applied the same policies and parameters for owner/operator and citizenship requirements for the Ship Manager Contract for maintenance and operation of Ready Reserve Force (RRF) vessels since 1988. Recognizing that there have been changes in both the industry and technology since the inception of the program, MARAD has undertaken the important initiative to re-examine current and future requirements for effective management of this surge sealift program. As part of this re-examination, MARAD is seeking industry and stakeholder input through public listening sessions. MARAD will host a public outreach meeting on Wednesday, December 7, 2011 at the U.S. Department of Transportation Headquarters, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE, Washington, DC, Conference Center, W11-15, at 10:30 a.m. This session will provide a venue for a broad representation of industry, including ship owners, operators, labor, etc., to collaborate and share concerns and ideas for ship manager contract requirements. Topics will include: • Ship Owner/Operator requirement • 12-ship Award Limitation • Definition of Ship Manager Business Entity • Citizenship Requirements - 46 CFR 315 and 46 USC 802(a) and 302(b), US Citizen vs. Documented Citizen • Relative Importance of Technical, Past performance and Price Evaluation Factors • Ship Manager as US Government Agent vs. Independent Contractor • Evaluation factors for participation in Strategic Sealift Programs • Consideration of Participation in the Voluntary Intermodal Sealift Agreement, Maritime Security Program or Tanker Emergency Preparedness Agreement • Small Business: Subcontracting vs. Joint Venture Structure of Ship Manager • Re-assignment of Vessels during Contract Performance • Incentives for Cost Saving Methods in Program Management, Ship Costs, Green Initiatives • Limited Scope Ship Management Contract for State Maritime Academy Schoolships Your views are important as we endeavor to prepare for the release of the next solicitation for this important National Defense surge sealift program. If you would like to provide comments/suggestions in writing, please send your input RRFSMC@dot.gov. Your participation is the key to our success. The meeting is open to the public. In consideration of space constraints, participation is limited to no more than 2 representatives per company/organization. Please RSVP the name, title and contact information of your representative(s) by Monday, December 5, 2011. For further information and to RSVP, contact Ms. Rilla Gaither, Office of the Associate Administrator for National Security at (202) 366-5111 or via e-mail at rilla.gaither@dot.gov.
