1.0 Introduction Wave Hub is the world’s largest and most technologically advanced facility for pre-commercial

demonstration of wave energy converter arrays. The site is located approximately 10 nautical

miles (16km) from Hayle on the north coast of Cornwall.

Wave Hub was purpose built to provide developers with the opportunity to demonstrate an

array of wave energy converters over several years on a grid-connected site with a realistic,

monitored and well-understood marine environment.

The 8-square km offshore Wave Hub deployment site is connected to the shoreline beach joint

via a live 33kV subsea power cable, approximately 25km long and presented on all UKHO

admiralty charts of the area. It is buried wherever possible inshore. Further offshore the export

cable is protected with a rock berm.

At the termination of the main subsea export cable offshore is the Wave Hub – the Subsea

Cable Junction – also covered by a rock berm and at the centre of the consented and charted

Wave Hub Safety Zone (500m diameter).

The Wave Hub offshore deployment site has the following general attributes:

Fully consented 1950m x 3950m offshore deployment site which is included on all UKHO admiralty charts of the area and additionally on KIS-ORCA Fisherman Awareness Charts.

o Flexible Developer berthing arrangements. Each project is designated an area of sea with clear access gates and safety buffers to prevent vessel and infrastructure conflicts and foster cooperative working. Wave Hub Ltd, acting as landlord, also maintains an overall site safety monitoring and central communications function.

o Four Developer electrical connection points: o Radiating out from the Wave Hub and staggered up the western side of the

site are four live 33kV subsea cable tails of varying length. These afford all developers near project access to a cable tail specifically designed to facilitate a robust and efficient point of connection.

o Flexible connection. Developers may connect to the electrical system at either 11kV or 33kV. The onshore substation houses 33kV and 11kV switchgear, a 11kV/33kV transformer and associated power factor correction equipment. This equipment connects the wave energy converters to the grid and ensures delivery of power produced is always compliant with the relevant grid codes.

o Fibre optic communications and SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system interface. Allows for remote control, metering and monitoring of wave energy devices via fibre optic cables within the cable system and thereafter to Developer premises via secure high speed internet connectivity.

o Highly adaptable dry mate connector. Half fitted to the subsea cable tail and capped off with an accessible lifting eye. Half will be issued to the developer for fitting to developer cable ashore ready to quickly and efficiently make the



Page 9 of 52

connection offshore. As with all the infrastructure the dry mate connector can accommodate operations at 11kV or 33Kv.

The seabed has been well surveyed and is characterised by areas of outcropping bedrock and a general veneer of gravelly sand, with occasional boulders. In general, the seabed across the site shoals gently towards the south-east or south-southeast, normal to the north coast of the Cornish peninsula. Water depths across the site range from a maximum of 57.0 below LAT, in the north-western corner of the area to approximately 51.0 below LAT in the south-east corner.

1.1 Current Site Markings The current marking arrangements for the Wave Hub site, agreed with Trinity House and the

MCA, are two Cardinal Marks (North and South general area markers) and four site defining

Special Marks (with GPS synchronised lights). Overall, the Wave Hub Aids to Navigation are

rated IALA Category 2.

A detailed schematic of the installed offshore Wave Hub system can be viewed at Appendix I.

1.2 Purpose of Document The purpose and scope of this ITT and supporting documentation is to explain in further detail

the requirements of the COMPANY and the procurement process for Submitting a compliant

tender proposal.

9.1 Evaluation Stages Stage 1: Tender responses will be checked to ensure that they have been completed correctly

and all necessary information has been provided. Tender responses correctly completed with

all relevant information being provided will proceed to Stage 2. Any tender responses not

correctly completed in accordance with the requirements of this ITT and/or containing

omissions may be rejected at this point. Where a tender response is rejected at this point it

will automatically be disqualified and will not be further evaluated.

Stage 2: If a tenderer succeeds in passing Stage 1 of the evaluation, then it will have its detailed

tender response to the COMPANY’s requirements evaluated in accordance with the evaluation

methodology set out below:

9.2 Award Criteria Responses from potential CONTRACTORs will be assessed to determine the most economically

advantageous tender using the following criteria and weightings and will be assessed entirely

on your response Submitted:

Criteria Weighting

Technical

Quality/Technical Merit 50%

QHSE 10%

Commercial

Project Completion Schedule. 5%

Contract Price 30%

Insurances 5% Table 5 Award Criteria Weightings

9.3 Scoring Model Tender responses will be Subject to an initial review at the start of Stage 2 of the evaluation

process. Any tender responses not meeting mandatory requirements will be rejected in full at

this point and will not be assessed or scored further. Tender responses not so rejected will be

scored by an evaluation panel appointed by the COMPANY, for all technical criteria following

scoring model will be applied.

Points Interpretation

5

Excellent – Overall the response demonstrates that the tenderer meets all areas of the requirement and provides all of the areas evidence requested in the level of detail requested. This, therefore, is a detailed excellent response that meets all aspects of the requirement leaving no ambiguity as to whether the tenderer can meet the requirement. Health & Safety statistics are significantly lower than COMPANY expectations.

4 Very Good - Overall the response demonstrates that the tenderer meets all areas of the requirement and provides all of the areas of evidence requested,



Page 29 of 52

Points Interpretation

but contains some trivial omissions in relation to the level of detail requested in terms of either the response or the evidence. This, therefore, is a good response that meets all aspects of the requirement with only a trivial level ambiguity due the tenderers failure to provide all information at the level of detail requested. Health & Safety statistics are lower than COMPANY expectations.

3

Good - Overall the response demonstrates that the tenderer meets the entire requirement and provides the areas of evidence requested, but contains some omissions in relation to the level of detail requested in terms of either the response or the evidence. This, therefore, is a good response that meets the requirement with only a minor level ambiguity due the tenderers failure to provide all information at the level of detail requested. Health & Safety statistics Health & Safety statistics are broadly in line with COMPANY expectations.

2

Acceptable - Overall the response demonstrates that the tenderer meets the majority of all the areas of the requirement, but not all of the areas of evidence requested have been provided. This, therefore, is an adequate response, but with some ambiguity as to whether the tenderer can meet the requirement due to the tenderers failure to provide all of the evidence requested. Health & Safety statistics above COMPANY expectations.

1

Poor – The response does not demonstrate that the tenderer meets the requirement in one or more areas. This, therefore, is a poor response with significant ambiguity as to whether the tenderer can meet the requirement due to the failure by the tenderer to show that it meets one or more areas of the requirement. Health & Safety statistics causes some concern with continuously high incident rate.

0

Unacceptable - The response is non-compliant with the requirements of the ITT and/or no response has been provided. Health & Safety statistics show serious concerns including but not limited to fatalities and / or enforcement notices or convictions and may result in tender disqualification.

Part C – Scope of Work



Page 32 of 52

1.0 Scope of Work

1.1 Project Brief To complete high resolution multibeam bathymetric survey to IHO Order 1A or better and clear

ROV visual survey of the installed wave hub offshore electrical infrastructure from minimum

KP3.84 (or as far inshore as cable exposure is identified) to the installed DMC at the end of

each of the four cable tails. Acquired survey data is to be analysed in order to identify all

anomalies.

Further analysis including overlay of historic bathymetric data as supplied by COMPANY will

then be performed, the data sets are to be compared and all additional anomalies identified

and reported. Footage recorded at key areas of interest as identified by COMPANY will also be

compared against historic survey data. Additional ROV footage analysis will be driven by the

identification of anomalies.

The scope of work shall include, but not be limited to:

Familiarisation with existing data (to be supplied by COMPANY after contract execution)

Identification of the environmental conditions as detailed in the included documentation supplied by COMPANY.

Preparation of a detailed work plan and schedule.

Mobilisation and calibrations, including all equipment acceptance tests.

Completion of the survey as detailed in this specification.

Demobilisation

Reporting and submission of final results, charts and digital deliverables including clear comparison to prior survey material as provided by COMPANY with particular reference to known area of interest and anomalies.

1.2 General The CONTRACTOR’s Representative and the COMPANY’s Representative shall be the single

point of contact between CONTRACTOR and COMPANY for all correspondence and

communications on matters arising out of the execution of the Work.

Operations must be undertaken by a dedicated and fully equipped vessel to support all

requirements as specified within this Scope of Work. The vessel must have appropriate sea-

keeping performance and safety rating and must be equipped with suitable certified

equipment and personnel to carry out the WORK.

Preparation for operations will include ensuring the vessel is fully operational with all

necessary personnel and equipment to undertake the WORK.

1.3 Survey Scope CONTRACTOR shall provide a suitable vessel to enable the work to be carried out in the 10-

55m water depths (reduced to LAT) and environmental conditions that may be expected at the

Wave Hub site.

It is envisaged that the visual cable survey will be carried out using a suitable ROV given due

consideration to the depth and local conditions. The survey scope (Visual & MBES) can be

broken into the following work areas:

1. Export Cable – KP 3.840 to KP 25.150* 2. Wave Hub (TDU) – KP 25.150 3. Bundled Cable Tails to Point of Divergence – KP 0.000 to KP 0.160 4. Cable Tails x4:

a. Cable Tail 1 – KP 0.160 to KP 0.584 b. Cable Tail 2 – KP 0.160 to KP 0.994 c. Cable Tail 3 – KP 0.160 to KP 2.309 d. Cable Tail 4 – KP 0.160 to KP 3.271

Visual survey of entire installed system is to be conducted on a ‘General Visual Inspection’ basis

with only identified anomalies or COMPANY specified areas of interest subject to a ‘detailed

visual inspection’. A detailed visual survey inspection of the entire installed system is not

required and should not be priced for. The ROV/camera system should be suitable positioned

throughout the visual surveys to ensure identification of anomalies is achievable.

*Note: The CONTRACTOR should survey the export cable inshore to a minimum KP 3.840 (19m

water depth reduced to LAT), however where practical and safe to do so the CONTRACTOR

should extend survey of the export cable to the furthest inshore point of exposure (last

recorded as KP 3.840)

Key anomalies to be identified by CONTRACTOR include but are not limited to the following:

Areas of scours around installed assets;

Rock shedding from the installed rock berm;

Any exposed export cable sections;

Any cable/asset damage;

Any areas of cable free-span;

Foreign debris on or in close proximity to the installed assets;

Any visible evidence of disturbance of movement.

CONTRACTOR shall define their expected data resolution in their proposal.

Notwithstanding the above, COMPANY is open to proposals which advocate new or different

ways of attaining the results.

2.7 Surface Positioning The vessel shall have a minimum of two independent DGPS systems with individual sources of

differential data supplied. Use of which should follow the guidelines published by the OGP

Geomatics committee (formerly the UKOOA Surveying and Positioning Committee) in 2011.

All positions will be corrected for vessel heave, pitch and roll. The preferred method is a

composite DGPS-Inertial Measurement Unit system.

An accuracy of 0.1m or better, 95% probability, is required throughout the survey.

Positioning systems shall be installed, calibrated and operated in accordance with

manufacturers’ instructions in order to supply sufficient accurate positioning information to

control the survey. Data from the positioning, orientation, measurement and computational

systems shall be checked or self-checking in such a way that co-ordinates of the vessel datum

points are provided correctly and are demonstrated to be correct.

All calibration corrections, adjustments, offsets and changes to positioning data shall be

recorded and displayed during the execution of the survey. The application and nature of any

data smoothing shall be indicated.

A health check calibration (to a known Ordinance Survey reference point) shall be performed

at mobilisation. A station description for the reference point shall be included in the

Mobilisation & Calibration report.

Equipment, cables and antennae shall be installed in such a way as to minimise vessel

communication or other systems interference and to ensure that data provided is of optimum

quality.

2.8 Sub-Surface Positioning The survey vessel shall be equipped with a hydro acoustic position reference system interfaced

with the vessel navigation and positioning systems. Minimum requirements are:

The system readings shall be compensated for vessel heave, pitch and roll

System accuracy shall be 1% of the slant range or better

The system shall have been calibrated at the start of the project using the method

recommended by the manufacturer. Validation checks by means of “boxing in” a seabed

transponder shall be completed to check the calibration results.

2.9 Vessel Heading The preferred method of heading determination is by a composite DGPS-Inertial Measurement

Unit system linked into the positioning system. As a back-up, a precision survey gyrocompass

shall be interfaced to the positioning computer to provide vessel orientation for computation

of offset positions of sensors from the DGPS antenna and for storage in the positioning



Page 40 of 52

database. Where a portable gyro is being used this should be secured in a permanent position

with its axis parallel to that of the vessel for the duration of the survey.

Prior to departure from port the vessel orientation indicated on the gyro shall be compared

with the vessel orientation determined by land survey methods based on triangulation control

in the vicinity of the port. This data shall be available on the vessel.

Additional gyro checks shall be carried out prior to, during and on completion of the survey by

comparison between DGPS system and gyro compass.

A heading accuracy <0.10 degrees is expected.

2.10 Computer Systems

2.10.1 Online Systems

The CONTRACTOR shall provide such industry standard computer systems and software as

necessary to run the survey in real time. The computer systems shall be capable of interfacing

to the various positioning, surface and sub-surface sensors and displaying the information in a

coherent manner. The data handling system shall have the provision to cause an event mark

to appear on all geophysical records simultaneously with each position fix taken during the

course of the survey.

The online computer system shall be interfaced to all survey sensors and shall be configured

such that a correct mathematical solution is observed in the following areas:

Co-ordinates of antennae, datum points and survey sensors. The computation shall encompass raw position line data, corrections, offsets, orientation and datum shifts

System comparisons between positioning systems

Raw survey date and time

Geodetic datum’s

Corrections, offsets and shifts applied

Pre-plots and indication of sail line and survey sensor track against those proposed

Range and bearing to target and offset from proposed sail line

System accuracy indicators

Data shall be logged in a format acceptable to the COMPANY and in such a way that re-

computation from raw data utilising alternative corrections is possible. Data shall be backed

up to suitable storage media to ensure duplicate copies are in existence.

2.10.2 Offline Systems

The off-line systems shall be capable of reading the data files created by the on-line systems

and have the necessary capacity to process large batches of raw data in an efficient manner.

The off-line software shall be capable of editing and correcting data, if necessary. The off-line

software shall also be capable of processing all data necessary to produce the maps, sections,



Page 41 of 52

plots, and other outputs as specified including comparison/overlay with historic data. The off-

line software shall be able to create data files in UKOOA format for site survey documentation.

The offline system should be capable of carrying out re-computation of observed survey data

as well as performing standard geodetic computations and conversions.
