- Build a Wave generator at JMTF as per SOW. 1 Attachment 1: 6/15/2016 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY (DHS) U.S. COAST GUARD RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CENTER (RDC) STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW) FOR WAVE GENERATOR SYSTEM FOR JOINT MARINE TEST FACILITY (JMTF) 1.1 Background The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Research & Development Center (RDC) conducts a variety of research projects in the area of oil spill response. One of the specific topics is the use of in-situ burning. This is a technique that involves corralling the oil within a fire-resistant boom or enclosed area and igniting it. Although it creates a dark plume, it also removes the oil from the surface of the water. One of the research facilities owned by the RDC is a 40 foot by 100 foot (outer dimensions) steel open outdoor tank which is located at the Joint Maritime Test Facility (JMTF) on Little Sand Island in Mobile, AL. The average depth of the pan is four feet with a recommended difference between water level and edge of pan of one foot. This facility was originally built in 1998 and a multiple of tests were conducted through 2002. At that time, the equipment was drained and the system placed inactive. In the ensuing years, several hurricanes hit the Mobile, AL area which moved the tank and destroyed all of the electrical connections and piping used for both water and oil. In 2014, the RDC began a refurbishment of the tank that included re-leveling and repair of the tank. This statement of work is another step in the process of tank refurbishment by providing a wave-making capability that conforms to American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standards. 1.2 Scope The scope of this order is to design, build and install the equipment needed to create waves in the tank that the government can use to meet the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard F2152. 1.3 Compliance Documents The following documents provide specifications, standards, or guidelines that must be complied with in order to meet the requirements of this task order: 1. ASTM F1155 Standard Practice for Selection and Application of Piping System Materials1 2. SAE J1942 Qualified Hoses for Marine Applications 3. ASTM F2152 Standard Guide for In-Situ Burning of Spilled Oil: Fire-Resistant Boom1 4. ASTM F1510 Standard Specification for Rotary Positive Displacement Pumps, Commercial Ships Use 2 SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS/TASKS 2 Attachment 1: 6/15/2016 2.1 Kick-off Meeting The contractor shall participate in a kick-off meeting at the RDC's Joint Maritime Test Facility (JMTF) on Little Sand Island (LSI) in Mobile Bay, AL within 14 days of award. The contractor will have the opportunity to visit the burn pan and take measurements and take photographs as needed. 2.2 Project Plan The contractor shall provide a draft Project Plan (Deliverable 1) at the Kickoff Meeting for Government review and comment. The contractor shall provide a final Project Plan to the COR based upon feedback from the Kickoff Meeting. 2.3 TASK 1 Wave Generator System Design The contractor shall design a Wave Generator System to create the various wave heights and periods called out in ASTM F2152, Section 6.4.4. [Compliance Document 3] in the 90 Ft Long x 30 Ft Wide x 5 Ft High pan (inner test section dimensions) located at the USCG Joint Maritime Test Facility on Little Sand Island, Mobile, AL. The wave created by the Wave Generator System shall be of a non-breaking sinusoidal shape. The contractor shall use the GFI Documents (Sections 1.3 and 4) to inform the design. The contractor's wave generator design, build and installation shall include: • A method of control located adjacent to the tank/hydraulic system that provides continuous range of wave characteristics that cover the values in the ASTM standard F2152, Section 6.4.4. This may be direct control (with a type of direct read-out) or indirect using instructions to set pressures range of motion or other parameters within the system. • All equipment mounting platforms and/or structures. • Equipment that can withstand high temperatures during petroleum burns. • Equipment within the tank that runs on a continuous unmonitored basis for no less than one hour. • Environmental protection to include sun exposure for the equipment during inactive times. • All equipment designed to withstand temperatures up to 200F that included ambient temperature during a hot day in Mobile plus some radiated heat from a fire test. • Ancillary hydraulic equipment located adjacent to the pan but no more than 25 feet away either on the sides or ends of the tank (See GFI 4.1 for pictures) • Any special requirements for power (Current power available is 120V AC but if different power is needed, the contractor shall specify in their design) • Any special adaptations to the tank. • A readily removable false beach at the far end of the pan to dissipate any interfering wave actions. The design to include the size, slope and material for the beach; and interfaces allowing for the removal of the beach by JMTF available resources. • Certified hoses and quick-disconnect fittings so that the elements of the wave generator that are not welded to the burn pan itself can be dismantled into no 3 Attachment 1: 6/15/2016 larger than pallet-sized sections (48 inch by 40 inch by 48 inch high) for removal during emergency. The contractor has two options for developing this capacity: 1) Use part or the whole of the existing wave generator that consists of a paddle and a hydraulic cylinder [See pictures/configuration in GFI 4.1 - 4.3]. The contractor shall provide a fully functional system that includes all of the hydraulic cylinder(s), fittings, hoses, pumps, cooling systems, controllers, etc that are needed to completely run the system. 2) Design, build, and install a completely new wave generator system. If the contractor's design references standards and specifications other than those in Section 1.3, the contractor shall explicitly list the standard and provide a brief justification of their use. The contractors shall create a test plan to exercise the wave generator to confirm the operation of the individual components and the overall performance. This plan shall describe a method to measure the wave period and height. The contractor shall create operating instructions and maintenance instructions, which include hydraulic oil specifications, filter and oil change intervals and instructions, and troubleshooting advice. The contractor shall submit a Wave Generator Design Package (Deliverable 2) that includes all of the design parameters, calculations, installation drawings, parts list, operating instructions, maintenance instructions and the test plan as an Appendix. 2.4 Build, Install and Test Wave Generator System The contractor shall build and install the components of the system according to the Government approved design within 115 days of award. The contractor shall test the system within 136 days of award. A joint contractor/Government post-installation inspection of the system shall occur before any operational tests occur. The inspections shall include the contractor walking through the system operation and maintenance using the design, operation and maintenance documentation (Deliverable 2) with the Government. The contractor shall operate the system in accordance to the test plan for a minimum of 1 hour with government witnesses present. The contractor shall provide the method and equipment needed to measure and verify the wave period and height meet the ASTM F2152 specification. If the waves do not meet the ASTM F2152 specification for height and periodicity, the contractor shall modify the system and retest. Once the wave generator has passed the test, the contractor shall provide a second draft (Deliverable 2) based on findings and recommendations during the tests. 3 OTHER APPLICABLE CONDITIONS 4 Attachment 1: 6/15/2016 3.1 Security All information and deliverables under this order are Unclassified and will not require access to Sensitive but Unclassified (SBU) information. 3.2 Access to Government Facilities The contractor shall be required to work on-site at the USCG JMTF.
