Sea-Note, I found these specs for the Washington State ferries.

In your opinion, is this something like what Electrowave builds?

I assume because this is a RFP (request for proposal), that any award and or announcement would be quite a ways off?

Maybe months or longer?

How much lead time does something like this usually require?


For WSF Fleet-wide Standardization purposes, End No. 1 of the Vessel shall always be considered the bow, and this designation shall delineate port and starboard, fore and aft wherever they are addressed in the Technical Specification.
99.3 GENERAL
The OFE PSI Contractor Propulsion Control System, and Alarm and Monitoring System will be designed, assembled, installed, tested and certified in accordance with this Section, the PSI Contractor’s Bid Support Documentation, Reference (99A), and Authoritative Agencies requirements. The Vessel shall be delivered with the machinery plant Propulsion Control and Alarm and Monitoring Systems installation fully approved and certified by the USCG. The machinery plant control and monitoring system requirements stated in this Section and throughout these WSF Requirements are not an interpretation of the aforementioned Authoritative Agencies rules and regulations, but are, for the most part, a combination of supplemental WSF requirements and clarifications thereof.
The requirements of ASTM F1166, shall be observed when incorporating human engineering criteria into the design of the control stations, consoles and the machinery plant control and monitoring systems.
The equipment and installations covered in this Section of the Technical Specification shall be in accordance with the requirements of Reference (99B), as well as the rules and regulations listed elsewhere.
The OFE Propulsion Control System as set forth under Reference (99A) and all Contractor provided support as set forth in this Section and other Sections of the Technical Specification, shall be suitable for use in a marine environment – that is, resistant to salt air and moisture-laden atmospheres, and not affected by shipboard vibration, motions, ambient temperatures and power source variations. Refer to the referenced Authoritative Agencies for specific environmental design criteria.
The Contractor’s provided components for the OFE Alarm and Monitoring System shall be fully supportable by the system manufacturer for a period of no less than fifteen (15) years from the date of Vessel delivery.
The Contractor shall install the OFE Alarm and Monitoring System described herein.
The Contractor shall have demonstrated a successful installation and service history on a USCG/ABS inspected Vessel, and the installation shall be in conformance with the proven performance criteria of Section 50 of the Technical Specification. The “basic” OFE Alarm and Monitoring System will be approved and certified by the USCG.


The OFE EOS Control Console will include remote switchboard controls and instrumentation.
Control consoles shall not contain fluid tubing for instrumentation.
Console mounted controls, instrumentation and alarms shall be from the same manufacturer to the extent practicable and shall be aesthetically similar in appearance. However, when controls, instrumentation and alarms to be installed in any given console are provided by two or more vendors (whether such items are furnished loose by the factory or in factory designed and tested subpanels), the Contractor shall provide guidance to the vendors regarding the provision of such items (gage size, display type, manufacturer, etc.), in order to maximize commonality of components and ensure an aesthetically similar appearance.
The OFE Propulsion Control, and Alarm and Monitoring System installations shall have separate low level signal and control cables from electromagnetic interference by isolating such cables in separate cableways in accordance with the requirements of Reference (99C). Installation drawings developed by the Contractor and manufacturer(s) of the machinery plant control and monitoring system shall identify each cable’s wiring level and class in accordance with Reference (99C)

99.5.3 Control Systems
The OFE PSI Contractor’s Centralized Propulsion Control System will be a microprocessor(s) based system having redundancy and fail-safe capabilities.
99.6 ALARM AND MONITORING
Provide installation of the OFE PSI Contractor supplied Alarm and Monitoring System as set forth in this Section and Reference (99A). The system installation shall be suitable for use in a marine environment – that is, resistant to salt air and moisture-laden atmospheres, and not affected by shipboard vibration, motions, ambient temperatures and power source variations. Refer to the referenced Authoritative Agencies for specific environmental design criteria.
99.6.1 Monitoring System
The OFE PSI Contractor machinery plant monitoring system will be a microprocessor(s) based system having redundancy and fail-safe capabilities.
