PSF1 FORM INSTRUCTIONS

Form A: Vessel SpecificationsOfferors must complete Form A for each of the vessels required by the Draft Contract, including two (2) vessels with a minimum capacity of 700 passengers each and two (2) vessels with a minimum capacity of 500 passengers each. The Offeror must also complete Form A for any additional vessels it will use, including, but not limited to, temporary vessels used during the Grace Period in place of vessels that are out of service undergoing upgrades/conversions, such as for initial engine upgrades, vessel hybridization, and other retrofits/upgrades that will require the vessel to be out of service.

Form B: Engine SpecificationsOfferors must complete Form B for each of the vessels required by the Draft Contract, including two (2) vessels with a minimum capacity of 700 passengers each and two (2) vessels with a minimum capacity of 500 passengers each. The Offeror must also complete Form B for any additional vessels it will use, including, but not limited to, temporary vessels used during the Grace Period in place of vessels that are out of service undergoing upgrades/conversions, such as for initial engine upgrades, vessel hybridization, and other retrofits/upgrades that will require the vessel to be out of service.

(1) Additional Requirements for engines exceeding EPA Tier 3 emission standards . If you commit to using engines exceeding the published Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) emission standards for Tier 3 engines and want the Service to consider them in evaluating the overall emissions profile, you must provide supporting information certifying that emissions from the engines exceed the emission standard (are better than the standards) established by EPA for that class of engine. Supporting information must include the Certificate of Conformity AND the Family Emission Limit (“FEL”) emissions data for a particular engine.

(2) Additional Requirements for Alternative Fuels and Technologies . If you commit to using alternative fuel engines (i.e., other than diesel fuel) exceeding the published EPA emission standards for Tier 3 engines and want the Service to consider them in evaluating the overall emissions profile, you must provide supporting information certifying emissions from the engines exceed the emission standard (are better than the standard) established by EPA for that class of engine. Supporting information must include the Certificate of Conformity AND the FEL emissions data for a particular engine. Offerors, therefore, should not propose using these and other alternative fuels as a strategy to reduce engine emissions without the Certificate of Conformity and the FEL demonstrating that the alternative fuel engine(s) meets the published EPA emission standards for Tier 3 engines.


Form C: Hybrid or Fully Electric System SpecificationsOnly complete Form C if you are proposing to use a hybrid or fully electric power system for at least one of your vessels during the term of the Draft Contract. Offerors proposing to use hybrid-electric or fully electric systems on one or more vessels must also complete Forms A, B, D, F, and G as directed.

Your responses must reflect your planned operation of vessels and engines, as well as your commitment to operate engines in a way that minimizes engine emissions and negative impacts to air quality.

The Service will use information provided in Form C to evaluate hybrid-electric and fully electric propulsion systems proposed by Offerors to satisfy the vessel requirements specified in the Draft Contract.

Offerors proposing to use hybrid-electric or fully electric propulsion systems must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Service that proposed systems are operationally feasible, safe, reliable, in compliance with U.S. Coast Guard (“USCG”) regulations, and will not adversely impact visitor experience. Offerors are highly encouraged to contact the USCG regarding acceptable battery technology and any additional safety measures which could be required.

Offerors must provide detailed information regarding the hybrid-electric or fully electric propulsion system, including engines, generators, batteries, propulsion motors, cooling system, power management system, fire suppression system, etc.

(1) Detailed information regarding the efficiency of vessel and hybrid-electric or fully electric power management systems is required for evaluation purposes. Information provided must include, but is not limited to, the following:

(a) Power demand

Provide the power (kW) per propulsion motor in operation required for your vessel to maintain an average cruising speed of 10 knots while in transit, assuming a passenger load of 70% of the maximum vessel passenger capacity. Report ONLY horsepower (or KW) associated with a speed of 10 knots.

Provide the power (kW) per propulsion motor in operation while idling when docked

(b) Auxiliary power demand (“hotel loads”)

Provide the total electrical power used for auxiliary purposes (e.g., to produce onboard electrical power for lights, navigational systems, etc.) while in transit, assuming a passenger load of 70% of the maximum vessel passenger capacity.

Provide the total electrical power used for auxiliary purposes (e.g., to produce onboard electrical power for lights, navigational systems, etc.) while docked.

(c) Daily Battery Charging and Discharging Sequence . Offerors must provide a detailed charging and discharging sequence for the onboard batteries for a projected daily operating profile based on the following parameters.


The daily profile must include time dependent information regarding battery energy output, battery charging input, and balance of charge. Offerors planning to use hybrid-electric vessel to provide both the ferry service to Alcatraz and the Park Cruise, must provide the daily battery power charging and discharging sequence information for each service separately.

Charging power sources should be identified, i.e. onboard engines/generators, shore power, and/or other alternative power sources (wind/solar). Each source should identify the charging power (kW) and time the charge is applied.

It is highly encouraged to express this information in a comprehensive, clear, concise, and well organized manner. Graphically or tabular displays must be time dependent, have a clear legend, and have discrete markers or labels for battery charge rates, discharge rates, and balance of charge. A detailed narrative describing this information is also highly encouraged.

Offerors must assume the following parameters when developing charging/discharging sequence for daily operating profile for the Alcatraz Ferry Service:

A representative average round-trip travel time to Alcatraz Island to be approximately 60 minutes, based on a departure from Pier 31.5, broken down as follows: 7.5 minutes for loading passengers at Pier 31.5 15 minutes in transit from Pier 31.5 to Alcatraz 15 minutes docked at Alcatraz for unloading and loading passengers 15 minutes in transit from Alcatraz to Pier 31.5 7.5 minutes for unloading passengers at Pier 31.5

The Service assumes the following distances, speeds, operating season and per trip passenger loads when determining the roundtrip travel time to Alcatraz Island: A roundtrip distance of 3.0 nautical miles An average cruising speed of 10 knots A passenger load of 70% of maximum vessel passenger capacity The trip occurs in the peak season

The Service assumes each of the two vessels in service make an average of 11 roundtrips per day to Alcatraz Island during the peak season (22 total roundtrips daily). Therefore, the Daily Battery Charging and Discharging Sequence you provide for each vessel must assume each vessel provides an average of 11 roundtrips per day, reflecting a total daily operating time of 660 minutes per day (60 minutes per trip x 11 trips per day). Offerors must use this information to develop their Daily Battery Charging and Discharging Sequence and must show each vessel providing 11 continuous roundtrips per day, considering the trip times, distances, average cruising speeds, and passenger loads discussed above.

Offerors must assume the following parameters when developing charging/discharging sequence for daily operating profile for the Park Cruise Service:

A representative average round-trip travel time for a Park Cruise trip to be approximately 75 minutes, based on a departure from Pier 31.5, broken down as follows: 7.5 minutes for loading passengers at Pier 31.5


60 minutes on-water touring San Francisco Bay 7.5 minutes for unloading passengers at Pier 31.5

The Service assumes the following distances, speeds, operating season, and per trip passenger loads when determining the roundtrip travel time for a Park Cruise trip: A roundtrip distance of 9.0 nautical miles An average cruising speed of 10 knots A passenger load of 70% of maximum vessel passenger capacity The trip occurs in the peak season

The Service assumes a single vessel makes an average of three (3) Park Cruise roundtrips per day during the peak season. Therefore, the Daily Battery Charging and Discharging Sequence you provide for the vessel providing the Park Cruise service must assume the vessel provides an average of 3 roundtrips per day, reflecting a total daily operating time of 225 minutes per day (75 minutes per trip x 3 trips per day). Offerors must use this information to develop their Daily Battery Charging and Discharging Sequence and must show the Park Cruise vessel providing 3 roundtrips per day within a period not to exceed 225 minutes and considering the trip times, distances, average cruising speeds, and passenger loads discussed above.

(d) Offerors must provide and list all assumptions relating to: cruising power demand, auxiliary power demand, charges rates, charge efficiencies, etc.

(e) Only information provided by the Offeror will be evaluated. Descriptions of upgrades to facilities is required if the Offeror chooses to use shore power during the daily operations. NOTE: the Service will NOT allow Offerors to propose developing shore power hookups on Alcatraz Island.

(f) Offerors who provide incomplete information in Form C will be disqualified from having the hybrid-electric or fully electric vessels considered within the emissions profile, and the Service reserves the right to use the information provided to determine the appropriate vessel emissions profile for the given vessel.

(g) If a conflict of information or if insufficient information provided by Offerors occurs, the information producing the highest overall level of emissions will be used.

Fleet Size and Vessel Utilization Assumptions when Completing Forms D through F(1) When completing Forms D, E, F, and G Offerors must assume, as required in the Draft

Contract, that during the peak season, two (2) vessels with minimum capacities of 700 passengers each are used to provide passenger ferry service to Alcatraz Island on a daily basis. These vessels are referred to in Forms D through G as “Vessel 1” and “Vessel 2”. Offerors must complete Forms D through G by designating the two primary vessels they plan to use to provide the Alcatraz Ferry service as “Vessel 1” and “Vessel 2”.

(2) Offerors must assume that during the peak season, one (1) vessel with a minimum capacity of 500 passengers will be used to provide backup service, which includes instances where one of the primary ferry vessels is taken out of service due to


unexpected maintenance, issues related to visitor safety, or other unanticipated events requiring the use of the backup vessel. The backup vessel is referred to in Forms D through G as “Vessel 3 (Backup Vessel)”. Offerors must complete Forms D through G by designating the vessel they plan to use to provide the backup service as “Vessel 3 (Backup Vessel)”.

(3) Offerors must assume that during the peak season, one (1) vessel with a minimum capacity of 500 passengers will be used to provide the Park Cruise service. This vessel is referred to in Forms D through G as “Vessel 4”. Offerors must complete Forms D through G by designating the vessel they plan to use to provide the Park Cruise service as “Vessel 4”.

Form D: Conversion TimelineFor the purpose of completing this form, assume the effective date of the Draft Contract is May 1, 2019. “0 months” represents a commitment to have fully compliant engines on the effective date of the Draft Contract while “36 months” represents the 36th month following the effective date of the Draft Contract (expiration of the Grace Period).

Form E: Engine Operating Power FormBased on the information provided in Forms A and B, complete Form E (Engine Operating Power). Your responses must reflect your planned operation of vessels and engines, as well as your commitment to operate engines in a way that minimizes engine emissions and negative impacts to air quality.

Offerors must complete the separate sections of Form E for the Alcatraz Ferry and Park Cruise services. Do NOT complete Form E for any proposed hybrid-electric or fully-electric vessels. If proposing hybrid-electric vessels, complete Forms F and G instead for each hybrid-electric vessel. Offeror’s do not need to complete Forms E, F, or G for any fully-electric vessels the Offeror proposes using.

The Service assumes Offerors using exclusively conventional Tier 3 diesel or alternative fuel engines for both propulsion and auxiliary power generation will operate propulsion and auxiliary engines during the entire 60-minute roundtrip to Alcatraz and during the entire 75-minute Park Cruise (including both on-water transit, docking and passenger loading/unloading times for each service).

(1) Number of Propulsion and Auxiliary Engines Operating per Roundtrip . Using Form E, provide the make and model (corresponding to your response in Form B: Engine Specifications Form) for each Tier 3 diesel or alternative fuel engines you will operate onboard each vessel during the indicated time segments per roundtrip for both the Alcatraz Ferry and Park Cruise services. If you will not be operating one or more of your engines during a particular segment of the roundtrip, such as a back-up auxiliary engine, specify the make/model and state “not operating” for that engine. For example, if you have two auxiliary engines, but operate only one while in transit, you would report “Auxiliary Engine 2: Cummins model XYZ, not operating”.


(2) Propulsion Engine Operating Power while in Transit . Using Form E, provide the horsepower (HP) or kilowatts (kW) per propulsion engine in operation required for your vessel to maintain an average cruising speed of 10 knots while in transit, assuming a passenger load of 70% of vessel passenger capacity, a roundtrip distance of 3.0 nautical miles to Alcatraz Island, and 9.0 miles for the Park Cruise roundtrip. Report ONLY horsepower (or KW) associated with a speed of 10 knots.

(3) Propulsion Engine Operating Power while Docked (Idling) . Using Form E, provide the horsepower (HP) or kilowatts (kW) per propulsion engine in operation while idling your engines when docked.

(4) Auxiliary Engine Operating Power while in Transit . Using Form E, provide the horsepower (HP) or kilowatts (kW) per auxiliary engine in operation while you are in transit, assuming a passenger load of 70% of vessel passenger capacity, a roundtrip distance of 3.0 nautical miles to Alcatraz Island, and 9.0 miles for the Park Cruise roundtrip.

(5) Auxiliary Engine Operating Power while Docked (Idling) . Using Form E, provide the horsepower (HP) or kilowatts (kW) per auxiliary engine in operation while docked.

Form F: Hybrid-Electric Engine Operating Power and Time in Transit FormThe Service seeks to understand the extent to which Offerors’ proposed hybrid-electric vessels will rely on onboard diesel generators to generate propulsion and auxiliary power while in transit to/from Alcatraz Island and during the on-water transit portion of the Park Cruise service, as part of their hybrid-electric systems. Therefore, Form F seeks information about the amount of time per day each hybrid-electric vessel will operate diesel engines to generate propulsion and auxiliary power while in transit to/from Alcatraz Island and during the on-water transit portion of the Park Cruise service. Form F also seeks information about the engine operating power (HP or kW) of the diesel generators in operation while in transit to/from Alcatraz Island and during the on-water transit portion of the Park Cruise service.

Complete Form F only for hybrid-electric vessels you will use to provide the Alcatraz Ferry and/or the Park Cruise services, based on information provided in Form C. Offerors must report information requested in Form F separately for the Alcatraz Ferry and Park Cruise services for all hybrid-electric vessels you will use (if any) to provide these services. Do NOT complete Form F for any other type of vessel, including fully-electric vessels.

(1) Daily Propulsion Engine Operating Power and Operating Time while Vessel is in Transit . Using Form F, for each hybrid-electric vessel you will use to provide the Alcatraz Ferry and/or Park Cruise services (if any), provide the horsepower (or kW) and amount of time (minutes) per day each Tier 3 diesel (or alternative fuel) engine will operate to produce propulsion power (e.g., by generating electrical power supplied to batteries used to provide propulsion power, or by generating power supplied directly to electrical propulsion motors). Offerors must assume the following maximum daily transit operating times for the Alcatraz Ferry and Park Cruise services (excluding time to load/unload passengers and time vessel is docked):

(a) Alcatraz Ferry . A maximum of 330 minutes, which assumes a 30 minute on-water transit time per roundtrip, with each vessel providing 11 roundtrips per day (30 minutes/roundtrip x 11 roundtrips/day = 330 minutes). The engine operating times


you report for each engine, therefore, must be equal to or less than 330 minutes per day. Your propulsion engine operating times must reflect the use of onboard battery systems while in transit and reflect the diesel (or alternative fuel) engine operating time saved by the use of such systems.

(b) Park Cruise . A maximum of 180 minutes, which assumes a 60 minute on-water transit time per roundtrip, with a vessel providing 3 roundtrips per day (60 minutes/roundtrip x 3 roundtrips/day = 180 minutes). The engine operating times you report for each engine, therefore, must be equal to or less than 180 minutes per day. Your propulsion engine operating times must reflect the use of onboard battery systems while in transit and reflect the diesel (or alternative fuel) engine operating time saved by the use of such systems.

(2) Daily Auxiliary Engine Operating Power and Operating Time while Vessel is in Transit . Using Form F, for each hybrid-electric vessel you will use to provide the Alcatraz Ferry and/or Park Cruise services (if any), provide the amount of horsepower and amount of time (minutes) per day each Tier 3 diesel (or alternative fuel) engine will operate to produce auxiliary power (e.g., by generating electrical power supplied to batteries used to provide onboard auxiliary power or by generating power supplied directly to auxiliary power systems - e.g., lights, navigational systems, etc.). Offerors must assume the following maximum daily transit operating times for the Alcatraz Ferry and Park Cruise services (excluding time to load/unload passengers and time vessel is docked):

(a) Alcatraz Ferry . A maximum of 330 minutes, which assumes a 30 minute on-water transit time per roundtrip, with each vessel providing 11 roundtrips per day (30 minutes/roundtrip x 11 roundtrips/day = 330 minutes). The engine operating times you report for each engine, therefore, must be equal to or less than 330 minutes per day. Your auxiliary engine operating times must reflect the use of onboard battery systems while in transit and reflect the diesel (or alternative fuel) engine operating time saved by the use of such systems.

(b) Park Cruise . A maximum of 180 minutes, which assumes a 60 minute on-water transit time per roundtrip, with a vessel providing 3 roundtrips per day (60 minutes/roundtrip x 3 roundtrips/day = 180 minutes). The engine operating times you report for each engine, therefore, must be equal to or less than 180 minutes per day. Your auxiliary engine operating times must reflect the use of onboard battery systems while in transit and reflect the diesel (or alternative fuel) engine operating time saved by the use of such systems.

(3) The Service recognizes Offerors proposing to use hybrid-electric systems may use diesel generators to produce power for both propulsion and auxiliary needs. In this case, where power generation is not dedicated to propulsion or auxiliary systems, but combined, report the total operating power (HP or kW) in the Propulsion Engine Operating Power and Time column for each engine in Form F and clearly state the reported operating power is combined for both propulsion and auxiliary systems.

Form G: Hybrid-Electric Engine Operating Power and Time DockedThe Service seeks to understand the extent to which Offerors’ proposed hybrid-electric vessels will rely on onboard diesel generators to generate propulsion and auxiliary power while docked, as part of their hybrid-electric systems. Therefore, Form G seeks information


about the amount of time per day each hybrid-electric vessel will operate diesel engines to generate propulsion and auxiliary power while docked (not in transit) when providing the Alcatraz Ferry and Park Cruise services. Form G also seeks information about the engine operating power (HP or kW) of the diesel generators in operation while docked for both the Alcatraz Ferry and Park Cruise services.

Complete Form G only for hybrid-electric vessels you will use to provide the Alcatraz Ferry and/or the Park Cruise services, based on information provided in Form C. Offerors must report information requested in Form G separately for the Alcatraz Ferry and Park Cruise services for all hybrid-electric vessels you will use (if any) to provide these services. Do NOT complete Form G for any other type of vessel, including fully-electric vessels.

(1) Daily Propulsion Engine Operating Power and Operating Time while Vessel is Docked . Using Form G, for each hybrid-electric vessel you will use to provide the Alcatraz Ferry and/or Park Cruise services (if any), provide the horsepower and amount of time (minutes) per day each Tier 3 diesel (or alternative fuel) engine would operate to produce propulsion power (e.g., by generating electrical power supplied to batteries used to provide propulsion power or by generating power supplied directly to electrical propulsion motors). Offerors must assume the following maximum daily docking times for the Alcatraz Ferry and Park Cruise services:

(a) Alcatraz Ferry . A maximum of 330 minutes (excluding time in transit to/from Alcatraz Island), which assumes 30 minutes of docking time per roundtrip, with each vessel providing 11 roundtrips per day (30 minutes/roundtrip x 11 roundtrips/day = 330 minutes). The engine operating times you report for each engine, therefore, must be equal to or less than 330 minutes. Your propulsion engine operating times must reflect the use of onboard battery systems while docked and reflect the diesel (or alternative fuel) engine operating time saved by the use of such systems.

(b) Park Cruise . A maximum of 45 minutes (excluding on-water cruising time), which assumes 15 minutes of docking time per roundtrip, with a vessel providing 3 roundtrips per day (15 minutes/roundtrip x 3 roundtrips/day = 45 minutes). The engine operating times you report for each engine, therefore, must be equal to or less than 45 minutes. Your propulsion engine operating times must reflect the use of onboard battery systems while docked and reflect the diesel (or alternative fuel) engine operating time saved by the use of such systems.

(2) Daily Auxiliary Engine Operating Power and Operating Time while Vessel is Docked . Using Form G, for each hybrid-electric vessel you will use to provide the Alcatraz Ferry and/or Park Cruise services (if any), provide the horsepower and amount of time (minutes) per day each Tier 3 diesel (or alternative fuel) engine would operate to produce auxiliary power (e.g., by generating electrical power supplied to batteries used to provide onboard auxiliary power or by generating power supplied directly to auxiliary power systems - e.g., lights, navigational systems, etc.). Offerors must assume the following maximum daily docking times for the Alcatraz Ferry and Park Cruise services:

(a) Alcatraz Ferry . A maximum of 330 minutes (excluding time in transit to/from Alcatraz Island), which assumes 30 minutes of docking time per roundtrip, with each vessel providing 11 roundtrips per day (30 minutes/roundtrip x 11 roundtrips/day = 330 minutes). The engine operating times you report for each engine, therefore, must be equal to or less than 330 minutes. Your auxiliary engine operating times must reflect the use of onboard battery systems while docked and reflect the diesel (or alternative fuel) engine operating time saved by the use of such systems.


(b) Park Cruise . A maximum of 45 minutes (excluding on-water cruising time), which assumes 15 minutes of docking time per roundtrip, with a vessel providing 3 roundtrips per day (15 minutes/roundtrip x 3 roundtrips/day = 45 minutes). The engine operating times you report for each engine, therefore, must be equal to or less than 45 minutes. Your auxiliary engine operating times must reflect the use of onboard battery systems while docked and reflect the diesel (or alternative fuel) engine operating time saved by the use of such systems.

(3) The Service recognizes Offerors proposing to use hybrid-electric systems may use diesel generators to produce power for both propulsion and auxiliary needs. In this case, where power generation is not dedicated to propulsion or auxiliary systems, but combined, report the total operating power (HP or kW) in the Propulsion Engine Operating Power and Time column for each engine in Form G and clearly state the reported operating power is combined for both propulsion and auxiliary systems.

Terms and Definitions Hybrid-Electric Power System and Vessel . The Service considers a hybrid-electric

power system and vessel to be one that relies on some combination of electric (i.e., battery) and diesel or alternative fuel to generate onboard propulsion and auxiliary power.

and Time in Transit

Propulsion and Auxiliary Engine Operating Power and Operating Time per Day for Hybrid-Electric Vessels while in Transit to Alcatraz Island and during Park Cruise. Complete Form F only for hybrid-electric vessels you propose using. Do NOT complete Form F for fully electric vessels or any other type of vessel power system.

Based on the operating assumptions presented in the PSF1 Form Instructions above, the daily propulsion and auxiliary engine operating times Offerors report in Form F for Vessel 1, Vessel 2, and Vessel 3 (Backup Vessel), must each be less than or equal to 330 minutes.

Similarly, the daily propulsion and auxiliary engine operating times Offerors report in Form F must be less than or equal to 180 minutes for Vessel 4 providing the Park Cruise service.

In addition, the information reported in Form F should reflect the information about Offerors hybrid-electric systems reported in Form C. Offerors must clearly report the information requested in Form F separately for each and every engine onboard each hybrid-electric vessel.

Only complete Form F for hybrid-electric vessels.
