The OSVs, re-designated as a Pacific - Training Support Vessel, hereafter referred to as P-TSVs, will support the requirement for distributed, deployable Joint Live, Virtual, Constructive (JLVC) training capability for exercises occurring throughout EASTPAC, MIDPAC and WESTPAC. The OSVs shall be altered to meet the requirements of the Draft Specification attached. The Navy is interested in industry feedback to the attached draft specification (Attachments 1 - 3). This includes, but is not limited to, industry recommendations, questions, and concerns. Please utilize the “General Feedback” tab in Attachment 4 as the template to submit industry feedback on the draft specification (Attachments 1-3). The Navy is also interested in receiving a Class D Estimate price for the vessel and by alteration specification including, but not limited to, estimated hours, labor price, material price, and estimated total price. Class D estimates are required prior to completion of the design or preparation of detailed specifications, reflecting the uncertainty associated with having incomplete information available for estimating purposes. It is usually exploratory in nature and is prepared to perform trade-offs and cost analysis. Variance is not expected to exceed 20 percent. Please utilize the “Class D Estimate” tab in Attachment 4 as the template to submit the Class D Estimates on the draft specification (Attachments 1-3). In addition to feedback on the draft specification, the Navy is pursuing information regarding price, duration estimates, and regulatory/logistical challenges of vessel delivery from Gulf of Mexico region to San Diego, CA, for P-TSVs with a nominal length overall (LOA) of 230 to 280 feet. The OSVs would be US-flagged. Price estimate should include, but not be limited to, crew, supplies, fuel, customs fees, Panama Canal fees, maintenance, spares and support during the delivery, and any other associated fees or costs. Price estimate should be provided on a per vessel basis. The Navy also seeks feedback on the pros/cons of delivering two (2) vessels at the same time. When preparing the estimate, assume that the P-TSVs have just finished a yard period and are in good operating condition. A dead tow is also an option for which feedback may be provided. OVERVIEW: The P-TSV Project encompasses efforts to solicit a contract for the purchase, alteration and delivery of up to two (2) existing OSV (sister-ships preferred) that will be altered by the contractor to meet the requirements of the DRAFT specification attached. This RFI is requesting industry feedback on the attached draft specification (Attachments 1- 3) and information related to the price, time of delivery, and regulatory/logistical challenges of delivering these vessels.
