Interested companies are encouraged to express interest where capability exists in the full consolidated scope of work components listed below.
1.0 PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION IN WHITE ROSE FIELD STANDBY VESSEL COVERAGE
Fidelity Simulation: Contractor shall provide fully fitted mannequins in survival suits complete with Automatic Identification System (AIS), as agreed by Husky, establishing a realistic performance exercise for the purpose of survivor recovery from the Fast Rescue Craft (FRC) and fidelity assessment in survivor handling trough transfer from the FRC to the standby vessel and to the hospital and/or decontamination process.
Contractor shall:
· provide an exercise procedure and risk assessment for the simulated exercise and assessment team.
· verify, at full scale and in real time, the response capability of standby vessel and crew against the performance standards described in the Atlantic Canada Safety Standby Guidelines and the Revised Standby Vessel technical Note “Review of Arrangements and Standby vessel Configuration for Successful Rescue January 20, 2010”. This document will be provided to the successful company(s) meeting the service provider requirements.
The scenarios that will be simulated and evaluated consist of;
· man overboard (MOB);
· helicopter ditching (HC) at a prescribed distance with a full complement of mannequins;
· full MODU evacuation (representing 20% of facility POB);
· powered rescue device (i.e. Dacon scoop rescue equipment) conducting a HC drill with full complement of mannequins or as required where requirements may change from to time;
· survivor management and first aid triage activities;
· additional drill scenarios as required; and,
· integrated requirements to comply with the Atlantic Canada Standby Vessel Guidelines verification requirement.
On completion of each year of drills, contractor shall provide a report summarizing the recorded response times for the emergency scenarios compared with the criteria defined in Magellan Engineering (1999) and TNA (2000). The reports will also provide a record of lessons learned, improvements made, and recommendations for future work.
Aspects of medical triage and survivor management shall be included in the trials. For research purposes related to survivor recovery and response to maritime emergencies, a variety of data will be collected. The collection data shall not influence the conduct of trials in any way.
For each year of the project, sea trials will be conducted onboard all SBV’s identified by Husky, for both crews. Trials will be conducted using mannequins that simulate survivor body shape. The number of mannequins, distance of the SBV from the site of incident and rescue method will be documented.
To the extent that safety of personnel, SBV and FRC’s permit, the trials will simulate routine operating conditions.
The successful contractor will guide the conduct of trials, collect data and provide de-briefing after each exercise. Brief progress reports will be prepared following the completion of each set of drills with each vessel’s crew and will include a description of the emergency scenarios, procedures followed for the conduct of drills, data gathered, analysis of the data and conclusions regarding compliance with the requirements of the condition.
Exercise feedback questioners shall be provided and response captured in summary reports and annual report. Upon request, Contractor will facilitate workshop(s) with vessel crews in order to facilitate discussion and sharing of trials experience among Husky contracted safety standby vessel crews.
2.0 PROJECT TASKS:
Additional details of individual tasks to be performed for each year of the project are described under the headings that follow:
Task 1 – Administration and Project Management
Ongoing throughout the duration of the project, this task will involve administration and co-ordination between Husky, contractor personnel and the standby vessel crews. Coordination of all project related documentation, progress reports and schedule control will be part of this activity.
Task 2 – Equipment Inspection, Procurement and Maintenance
All equipment to conduct verification exercises including mannequins, survival suits and personnel locator beacons shall be provided by contractor. Mannequins and personal locator beacons will, from time to time, require servicing and replacement. Contractor personnel shall inspect this equipment regularly and maintain in a high standard of repair.
Task 3 – Preparation of Drill Procedures and Documents
Trained trial monitors shall collect accurate data in a reliable and consistent manner. They shall use stop watches to collect the times required and paper or electronic copies of all data collection forms shall be provided for each set of trials.
Task 4 – Drill Conduct, Observation, Evaluation and Research
For each year of the contract, sea trials will be monitored by the contractor. Times for each crew to complete required tasks will be recorded and used to determine if the survival ratio is at least 1.5, assuming a survival time of 20 and 75 minutes as presented in Magellan Engineering (1999).
On completion of each set of drills, a debriefing session shall be conducted with the crew onboard the SBV to discuss performance and identify lessons learned. A questionnaire will be distributed as part of each debrief session to gather basic information about the number of times crew members have participated in the exercises, comments about the crew’s experience during the trials and suggestions for improvements.
To enhance the data collection methodology, video cameras and GPS data loggers will be installed from time to time on each FRC and SBV. The cameras will record activity in the area where survivors are recovered from the water and where survivors are transferred to the deck of the SBV. The video record will be used to provide valuable information on the rescue techniques used and will act as a backup to the manual data collection (stop watch) system.
In addition, video records will be used to provide effective demonstration material during debriefings.
Task 5 – Workshops
Upon request by Husky, workshops with available vessel crews will be facilitated by contractor. Workshop agenda will be developed in advance by contractor and Husky for final approval to ensure it meets with the intended objectives. Workshops will include brief presentations by the contractor on trials with the intention to guide the discussion so that the feedback on the activities and suggestions for improvements can be facilitated efficiently.
Task 6 – Data Analysis and Reporting
Data will be analyzed following each set of trials and short progress reports submitted in a timely manner. On completion of all trials for each year, a report will be submitted to the client within 60 days of completion of the final trial but not later than Feb 28 of the following calendar year, outlining the results of trials analysis. The report structure will be reviewed from time to time and modified as deemed appropriate by Husky and contractor.
3.0 ADDITIONAL CONTRACTOR EXPECTATIONS:
Emerging safety equipment and technology
Contractor shall from time to time be required to investigate new technology and generate evaluation reports and recommendations on changes and/or improvements to Husky contracted or supplied safety standby response equipment. Contractor shall have a research and development capability to support this activity.
4.0 DELIVERABLES
Contract deliverables will include an update on equipment condition, progress reports within 1 week of completion of each day of trials and a draft report within 60 days of completion of the final trial but no later than Feb 28 of the following calendar year in electronic .pdf format for each year of project. A final report will be submitted in electronic .pdf format two weeks after receipt of comments on the draft report for each year of the project.
5.0 SCHEDULE
The project schedule is tied to the availability of SBVs and in many instances Husky has limited advance notice of SBV availability for trials purposes. It is recognized that SBV availability may fall on a weekday, weekend or statutory holiday. The contractor shall schedule personnel for trials when a request is received from Husky.
