Summary of Field Work: |
The primary function of the vessel is to maneuver around a specified rectangular area each day, collect and record salinity of water, water temperature, water depth, wind speed, sound speed of water, Automatic Identification System (AIS) data, radar contact information, wind direction, wave height, air temperature and ocean currents |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
1. Vessel shall be able to get underway and remain on station, and support deployment of equipment under a maximum condition of wind speeds up to thirty (30) knots or a wave height of ten (10) feet
2. Minimum vessel length shall be one hundred and thirty (125) feet
3.Vessell shall be able to operate anywhere within the following grid: 21.0° N – 31.0°N Latitude and 75.0° W – 65.0° W Longitude
4. Vessel shall be able to mobilize equipment and embark passengers no more than 500nmi from OPAREA.
5. Vessel shall provide overnight accommodations for up to ten (10) government/government contractor representatives, including meals.
6. Vessel shall have plotting electronics such as GPS, AIS and Navigation Radar as part of normal piloting.
7. Vessel shall have accommodations for carry-on AIS, GPS, Weather Station and Navigation Radar as well as laptops for recording purposes. Sufficient, clean dedicated 120V 15Amp power source shall be made available for carry-on electronics in an enclosed spaced.
8. Vessel shall have the ability to collect and record seawater salinity, bottom depth, water currents, water temperature, water depth, wind speed and direction. Table or desk space with a minimum of two (2) square feet shall be available for government and/or representative’s hand carried materials. Vessel crew shall assist government personnel with set up of equipment, routing of cables and installation of antennae or any other fixed equipment.
9. Vessel shall accommodate cableway access from recording equipment to antennae
10. Vessel shall have the accessibility to allow cable routing from the aft end of the boat
11. If distance of cabling is short, vessel shall provide enclosed space capable of housing equipment within a max of twenty-five (25) feet from CTD/XBT casting location
12. Vessel shall provide desk space of a minimum 16ft2 in size to accommodate all recording equipment
13. Location Details:
a. Operating grid area is as follows: 24 30° N to 28° N latitude and 71 05° W to 69 55° W longitude
b. Specific details and fixed waypoint geometries will be provided prior to underway |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
a. Vessel shall be available for mobilization of government equipment starting March X, 2016 at a location TBD (within 700nmi of OPAREA). Mobilization is expected to not exceed sixteen (16) hours.
b. Vessel shall embark all personnel and transit to test location on XXX
c. Testing will begin in the test area as determined by the Test Director (TD).
d. Testing within the OPAREA box will continue until the entire OPAREA box has been surveyed and deemed a sufficient amount of data by the Chief Scientist (CS) and/or TD
d. Vessel shall return to port to demobilize equipment and to disembark passengers after project completion.
e. Vessel shall be released for transit to home port after all government equipment and collected data has been demobilized. |
