Work Specifications for Buoys
A "maintained buoy" is a buoy for which the Contractor:
- Checks the position and operation
- Places/removes on/from station and repositions as required during the navigational season
- Carries out maintenance
The Contractor must inspect all buoys monthly or especially following periods of bad weather, ice conditions etc. If the Contractor has reason to believe the buoys/beacons may have been adversely affected, he/she must determine that they are in their correct positions and that the reflective tape and numbers are functioning properly.
Following any on-water work on a buoy (commissioned, decommissioned, replaced, moved, inspected etc.) the Contractor must complete a Buoy Service Report (BSR) through SIPA mobile (AtoN database) for each buoy at each visit.
Should any buoys be out of position, not functioning properly in need of repairs, the Contractor must immediately contact the Project Authority.
The Contractor must, as part of this Contract, lift, tow, land, dock, and replace in proper positions such buoys that require repairs, renewal, or repositioning, during the navigation season as often as is necessary. If any buoy or its mooring is lost and not recoverable through no fault of the Contractor, he/she must immediately notify the Project Authority.
If a buoy is out-of-position and cannot be repositioned within 24 hours due to sea or weather conditions, the Contractor must immediately notify the Project Authority. He/she must again notify the Project Authority when he/she has repositioned the buoy.
The following types of work are fair and reasonable indications of the maintenance and repairs that must be carried out by the Contractor.
